Dreaming of threatening someone with a knife - dream meaning with inherited lore
Threatening someone with a knife can sometimes reveal pent-up anger or a boundary you strongly want to protect.
In the dream, you approach someone with a knife or tell them to back away. More than a wish to hurt them, you may strongly feel pressured to make them stop.
Korean lore: Traditionally, threatening someone with a knife has sometimes been interpreted as a scene where conflict comes into the open. It can also represent the drive to assert your will or tension in a relationship. (In folk dream reading, scenes of waving a knife or pressuring someone are sometimes read as conflict and struggles over power.)
Through the mind: You may have built up the feeling that no one listens to you, or that you can no longer give in. The scene may reflect the frustration you felt in the relationship more than the particular person themselves.
