Murder
Murder in dreams often speaks to the violent end of something within—an old self, a relationship, a way of being that can no longer continue. Whether you witness it, commit it, or endure it, the dream may be asking what part of your life feels unsustainably at war with another.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for murder, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see murder committed in your dreams, foretells much sorrow arising from the misdeeds of others. Affair will assume dulness. Violent deaths will come under your notice.
If you commit murder, it signifies that you are engaging in some dishonorable adventure, which will leave a stigma upon your name.
To dream that you are murdered, foretells that enemies are secretly working to overthrow you.
