Dreaming of lending someone a knife - dream meaning with inherited lore
Lending someone a knife may reflect a situation where you share your standards or decision-making power with another person.
Someone asks to borrow a knife, and you hand one over in the dream. You may clearly know who they are, or feel uneasy after giving it to them.
Korean lore: Traditionally, handing a knife to someone has sometimes been interpreted as passing control or sharp energy in a relationship to the other person. It may also be seen as sharing unnecessary conflict with them. (This interpretation comes from the folk tradition of seeing a knife as something that represents both authority and conflict.)
Through the mind: You may be leaving your judgment in someone else’s hands at work or in a relationship, or finding it hard to refuse someone’s request. If you felt at ease after handing it over, it may reflect a wish to cooperate.
