    (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.

  • Smothering:

    Extinguishing a fire in a dream means putting off or quelling a riot, deterring a war or abolishing innovation. If one sees himself in a dream smothering an already dead fire, it means that he is trying to rekindle an old war or to provoke evil between people.

    Fighting unjust people in a dream means triumph over injustice, supporting the needs of one’s father or mother first, or being protective of one’s wife or husband. Fighting against the truth in a dream means aligning oneself with heedless people or going astray.

Practical Tips for Navigating Conflict in Dreams and Waking Life

• Reflect on Your Emotions

  Take time to journal your feelings after having a dream of conflict. Explore the nature of your friendship and identify any tensions you may have overlooked. Acknowledging your emotions can prevent these conflicts from festering and promotes healthier communication.

  By reflecting on your feelings, you empower yourself to address the underlying issues instead of suppressing them.

• Communicate Openly with Your Friend

  If you feel the dream is prompting you to confront a specific issue, arrange a time to discuss it openly with your friend. Use gentle and compassionate language to express your feelings without blame. This process requires courage but can strengthen your bond and foster mutual understanding, transforming potential misunderstandings into opportunities for growth.

• Seek Clarity in Your Intentions

  Before addressing any issues, clarify your intentions. Consider what you wish to achieve from the conversation. Do you want resolution, understanding, or perhaps to voice your concerns?

  Being clear about your goals can guide the conversation in a positive direction, enabling you both to move forward harmoniously.

• Embrace Forgiveness

  Sometimes, we may cling to grudges or misunderstandings. Embracing forgiveness—both of yourself and the other person—can free you from the heavy burden of resentment. This act can cultivate a more loving and compassionate friendship, enriching both your lives.

• Observe Patterns in Your Dreams

  If you repeatedly dream about fighting with this friend or others, take note of those patterns. Recurrent dreams often indicate unresolved issues or persistent fears. Acknowledging them is the first step toward meaningful change, turning dreams into a guiding source for personal growth.
