Certain dreams should not be joked with, such as someone killing you, finding yourself stabbing someone, or a dream of a black spider attacking. These dreams highlight important areas of weakness in your physical and spiritual life that need to be fixed.
Ann (not her real name), a reader, sent me an email three months ago about stabbing a little girl in her dream. When I was done reading through the detailed narration, I heard a voice saying, “She is about to be framed for the death of a little child.” I sent the reply to her, urging her to be vigilant.
Exactly two weeks later, Ann sent another email saying that her neighbour, for the first time, asked her to look over her daughter, that she needed to make some runs, and that it would be tedious moving around with the girl. But remembering her dream and my interpretation, Ann declined.
I did some follow-up last month, and Ann said nothing happened to the little girl. But with the way the devil works, you cannot tell what would have happened if Ann took in that child.
This is the importance of dreams—to help uncover deep things you may never have suspected ordinarily. It is more like a communication channel with God that gets to warn you of loose ends, sends you on errands, or encourages you to grow in your waking and spiritual lives.
Biblical meaning of stabbing someone in a dream
Unforgiveness
Stabbing someone in the dream reveals the seed of unforgiveness in your heart, germinating towards your destruction. Unforgiveness can prevent you from accessing God and his blessings because he will offer you the quality of mercy you offer others (Matt. 6:14–15).
When you have malignant thoughts towardsss others, you project evil towardsss them and also towardsss yourself (a common life principle, the law of attraction). Most times, when your expectations are cut short, it is a result of the bitterness you have in your mind.
I will advise you to let go of those burdens and allow God to pay back your oppressors with their coins. Focus on your growth. Fill your heart with joy and remind yourself of the goodness of God, and you will see how much peace and goodness of God you will experience.
Someone will die at your hands
Avoid engaging in fights or housing anyone during this period, as someone who is not physically fit may die at your hands, jeopardising your life, as the dream of stabbing someone warns.
The devil has tried multiple ways to yolk you, but God has been faithful, and you have been wise enough to avoid lots of traps. Now, you need to avoid even more traps. There is a projection for you to erroneously kill someone or have someone die at your place while you are just offering help.
The plan is to get you locked away behind bars so you don’t get to fulfil the next stage of your destiny. Something very big is coming, and the devil wants to divert it by all means.
1 Peter 5:8–12 (NKJV) “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.”
Spiritual victory
Stabbing someone in a dream (a relative, friend, or unknown person) can symbolise spiritual victory. You are paying attention to your spiritual life or may have just received divine assistance to outwit your enemies.
When I speak of witchcraft, people only set their minds to strange-looking men and women flying on broomsticks, but that is just part of the craft. Another part of the craft is envy, jealousy, and bitterness.
When people embody the above-listed qualities, they tend not to want good things to keep happening to you, or they tend to always wish you evil or failure. As a matter of fact, they get joy when they experience mishaps.
Sadly, most of us confide in such people, telling them of our plans and how we intend to achieve them. Then later, wonder why those plans didn’t come to fruition.
While your dream signifies victory, it warns you to be careful with your mouth, so you don’t keep setting yourself back. It also encourages you to put more effort into your spiritual growth for a lifetime.
Lack of control
Dreaming about stabbing someone reflects a lack of control over behaviour and impulses as a result of overwhelming emotions like anger, excitement, and feeling cheated, which can make the dreamer make wrong decisions or get entangled in webs of destruction.
Make no mistake, God created anger and excitement, and he placed them in varying quantities in each one of us, but what we do with them or channel them into is dependent on us.
It is just like the creative instinct he put in us, some people use it to convince other people to commit suicide bomb explosions in the name of terrorism. Some people use their creativity to hack people’s accounts, social engineer them, and swindle them of their hard-earned money. And don’t forget, some people utilise their creativity for the betterment of humanity.
The anger or overly joyful state you find yourself exhibiting is an attribute God has placed in you for a certain purpose, but when you don’t channel it correctly, it will bring about your premature end, like Moses.
Never make promises when excited, and avoid taking actions or making utterances when engulfed with anger unless you have a leading to do so.
Regrets
You may have engaged in an act that you are not proud of, and you keep crucifying yourself as your dream portends. Stabbing someone else in the dream reveals the burdens of your actions, weighing you down.
Some things cannot be amended, and it is okay to be bitter about certain wrong decisions or inactions, but it is wrong to persecute yourself for so long. Prolonged guilt wouldn’t solve anything; it will only make you more miserable, attracting negativity your way.
Thoughts towards other people
Stabbing someone in the dream represents your thoughts towards that person. You probably feel like ripping the person’s heart and intestines as a result of the pain they may have caused you.
While you may not carry out this act physically, your dreams are a pointer that the way you feel about them (be it justly or unjustly) is bringing harm to them.
Well, there is no winner or loser here; your peace will also be lost, and you will have lots of your prayers unanswered. So, is it worth it?
Dream of stabbing someone in the head
The dream of stabbing someone in the head reveals that the person or someone has been spreading false information about you—maligning your character and God has placed judgement on the person, which will manifest in the form of disgrace or death.
Dream of stabbing someone in the chest
Dream of stabbing someone in the chest reveals that you are not a trustworthy person. You stand in the way of people’s happiness and don’t mind taking what doesn’t belong to you, but God’s anger is brewing against you.
This dream also means the dreamers should protect themselves from naysayers, confidence killers, and deceitful people who will come into their lives with lies and deception—saying lots of things they don’t mean—and bringing them harm at the end of the day.
Dream of stabbing someone but not dying
Stabbing someone but they don’t die means you need to beef up your spiritual life. Also, it means you need to take control of your life, eliminate procrastination, self-doubt, and fear of failure, and take risks when needed.
Dream of stabbing someone in the stomach
Stabbing someone in the stomach reveals the dreamer is battling low self-esteem and needs to strengthen their borders against being taken advantage of. It also means the dreamer should do away with anything that wouldn’t benefit them and engage in relaxing activities more often.
Dream of stabbing someone in the back
Dream of stabbing someone in the back reveals that you are unstable in all your ways and wouldn’t mind taking advantage of a close relative or friend just to get what you want, but it wouldn’t end well for you.
Dream of stabbing someone in the hand
Dream of stabbing someone in the hand reveals that you should break free from every form of mental or physical limitation and pursue your dreams relentlessly. It also means you should acquire knowledge at every opportunity you get.
Dream of stabbing someone multiple times
Stabbing someone multiple times reveals the dreamer lacks control over their emotions. It also reveals the need for a relentless prayer life to crush your enemies brutally and gain dominion over your destiny’s actualization.
Summing Up
Biblical meaning of stabbing someone in a dream reveals the dreamer is battling unforgiveness, regrets, and uncontrolled emotions (anger, excitement, and loneliness). It also indicates that the dreamer should be careful about someone dying at their hands.
