The dreamer’s subconscious is grappling with feelings of aggression and violence. The initial act of killing in self-defense represents a desire for self-preservation and protection. However, the dreamer’s actions escalate to indiscriminate killing, indicating a lack of control and a potential for harm. The innocent victims, including a beloved child, suggest a fear of causing harm to those close to the dreamer. This could stem from a fear of losing control and hurting loved ones. The dreamer may also be struggling with feelings of guilt and remorse for their actions. The dream serves as a warning to the dreamer to address any underlying anger or aggression before it spirals out of control and causes harm to themselves or others. It is important for the dreamer to find healthy outlets for their emotions and to seek help if they feel overwhelmed by their feelings of anger or aggression.
