| Knife |
The knife dissects and divides. If the intellect applies this activity to a situation, we speak of an analysis. Of course, a knife can also be used as an offensive weapon. Seen in this light, the man who pursues the dreamer with a knife represents an unconscious aspect of the personality, one of strong aggressive energy. The dream indicates the need to become aware of a problem. If you have similar dreams, try the following experiment on one occasion. Go over the dream situation again in your mind. Approach the threatening figure and take the knife from its hand. You will see that it suddenly no longer seems threatening but, in contrast, is likely to seem to need help. If you do this in our next dream, you will then see this threatening person with the knife suddenly change into something completely unexpected which will illustrate the solution the dream is attempting to convey to you. |
