Dreaming of cutting someone's throat with a knife - dream meaning with inherited lore

You see yourself holding a knife to someone’s throat or cutting it. Whether you know them and what happens next may stay with you.

Korean lore: Traditionally, a scene of cutting someone with a knife has sometimes been linked to conflict or a wish to end a relationship. Rather than taking it as a sign you’ll actually hurt someone, it may feel more natural to consider the emotions in the dream and your relationship with that person. (In folk dream interpretations, harming someone with a knife is sometimes read as a symbol of conflict or separation.)

Through the mind: You might consider whether hurt or anger has been building up toward that person, or whether you want to leave the relationship. A violent scene in a dream doesn’t necessarily reflect an intention to act in real life.
