(Murder; Suicide) Killing in a dream represents a major sin. If one kills himself, or commits suicide in fear of the consequences of his sins in a dream, it means that he is offering true repentance from his sins, though committing suicide is a major sin that will lead its author to eternal sufferings in hell-fire. Killing a human being in a dream means committing an evil and an atrocious sin.
On the other hand, committing an outrageous sin, or a conspicuously objectionable act in a dream may mean killing someone. If one is killed in a dream, it means longevity and that he will acquire a great wealth from the one who kills him in the dream. If one kills someone without slaughtering him in a dream, it means that the victim will benefit greatly from his assailant.
Slaughtering in a dream means injustice. Killing someone in a dream also means relief from depression, grief, affliction and sorrow. Killing oneself in a dream also means recognition of the value of lost benefits.
If one is murdered in a dream and did not know who killed him, it indicates his failure to fulfill his religious duties. If one recognizes his murderer in the dream, then it means triumph over one’s enemy. If one sees a victim swimming in a pool of blood that is pouring from his jugular veins in the dream, it means that the victim will suffer greatly from the defamation and slander of his assailant.
If one intention¬ ally commits suicide in a dream, it means that he is a subversive rebel and a disobedient servant of God almighty. Confessing to a murder in a dream means gaining the upper hand. Killing in a dream also could mean that one is missing his prayers, or neglecting them.
Killing one’s own son in a dream means receiving money. If one dies as a martyr in a dream, it also means profits, fulfillment of a promise, business success, or perhaps that he maybe assassi¬ nated, or drown, or die under a collapsed structure. If the victim in the dream is a witness in court, it means that his testimony will be accepted, or perhaps it could mean that he will enjoy abundance of blessings in his life.

Transforming Dream Insights into Real-Life Action
- Reflect on Your Current Conflicts
To start making sense of your dream, take time to reflect on your current life situations. Are there any ongoing conflicts or rivalries in your work or personal life? Recognizing these feelings in waking life can help you make sense of why such a dream occurred.
Consider keeping a dream journal where you log your dreams and relate them to your daily experiences. This practice not only helps in recalling details better but also aids in identifying patterns or recurring themes in your dreams that point towards unresolved issues or feelings. Engage in self-reflection and ask yourself if there are aspects of your life where you feel challenged and if there are ways you can direct that energy positively.
Additionally, working on communication skills, or seeking peace in strained relationships, can transform negative feelings from your dreams into proactive approaches in your reality.
- Harness the Power of Visualization
Visualization is a potent tool for managing anxiety and stress from rivalry. Once you identify the rival or conflict in your dream that reflects your waking life situation, visualize a positive outcome. Picture yourself successfully resolving the conflict, whether it's winning the challenge or finding common ground.
Engage in this visualization daily to reinforce your desire for success and peace. This practice can help reduce tension and empower you to handle confrontations with grace and confidence. Additionally, charge your mind with affirmations that highlight your strengths, resilience, and capability to overcome obstacles.
By focusing on uplifting thoughts, you'll foster a mindset of positivity, enabling you to actively address and resolve rivalries or conflicts as they arise in real life.
- Seek Support From Your Circle
Don’t hesitate to share your feelings and experiences related to dreams of fighting rivals with friends or family members who can provide a listening ear. Often, discussing these dreams can shed light on underlying fears or issues. They may offer perspectives you haven’t considered and can help you feel less alone in your struggles.
Moreover, if you believe your dreams indicate deeper emotional issues, consider seeking guidance from a counselor, therapist, or anyone with ‘ilim’ who can help you unravel and understand your feelings and motivations better. Engaging in healthy discussions about conflict resolutions can lead to personal growth and better handling of situations that might arise from these dreams. Lastly, remember that while you might feel the weight of rivalries, love and support from those around you can lighten that load significantly.
