Dreaming of wielding a knife - dream meaning with inherited lore

You grip a knife and swing it forcefully through the air or around you. You may move as if blocking something, or feel anger and anxiety lingering in your body.

Korean lore: Traditionally, scenes of swinging a knife have sometimes been interpreted as signs of strong resolve or the energy of a quarrel. They may also be seen as pushing through something stuck, but they do not predict the outcome of any real action. (In folk dream interpretations, the movement of a knife has long been treated as a symbol revealing both decisiveness and aggressive tension.)

Through the mind: You may not have been able to fully express feelings of unfairness or frustration lately. Rather than meaning you want to hurt someone, it may suggest that the energy to protect your space and boundaries has grown stronger.
