The Intruder and the Knife: A Dream of Fear and Aggression

The Intruder and the Knife: A Dream of Fear and Aggression
I was in an apartment, I felt like o was being watched the whole time, I look up at the roof of the building next to me and there’s this guy watching me. He tries to hide and then jumps onto my building and onto my balcony, he opens my window, I shut it and lock it and he opens it again, he says don’t do that and to keep it open, he tells me I can’t stay here for more than 11 days and I tell him that I’m leaving on the 4th, he said that’s not okay because his family stayed at the same place for 11 days. Then I have a knife in my hand and accidentally cut the window screen and he crawls in, it’s a child no older than 9 or 10. I get on top of him and slit his throat, the first time wasn’t deep enough so I slit his throat two more times. Then I woke up.

This dream may reflect feelings of being watched or monitored in your waking life. The apartment symbolizes your personal space and the intruder represents a sense of invasion or violation. The fact that he jumps onto your balcony and tries to open your window suggests a lack of boundaries or a feeling of vulnerability. The number 11 may symbolize a sense of urgency or a deadline approaching. The child intruder could represent a younger, more vulnerable aspect of yourself that you are trying to protect. The knife may symbolize your ability to defend yourself or take control of a situation. The act of slitting the intruder’s throat could represent a desire to eliminate this sense of fear or vulnerability. However, the fact that you have to do it multiple times suggests that this issue may require more effort or attention. This dream may be a reflection of your subconscious fears and a reminder to set boundaries and protect yourself in your waking life.
