Butcher Knife
To dream of a butcher knife represents conflict that is cold, brutal, or insensitive about making tough straightforward decisions without being personal. Conflict with decisions that are severe, drastic, or totally uncaring as though it was a job that's serious about simply getting it over with. The ability to professionally make strong decisive cuts or choices to eliminate something unnecessary without being personal. Feelings about making a serious decision to eliminate something unimportant without delay because it's needed. The readiness to take harsh measures to achieve a goal or maintain control. The ability to handle difficult situations with a no-nonsense approach. A readiness to take extreme measures that could harm others, suggesting a need to reassess your approach and consider more compassionate solutions. Your own attempt to cut someone off completely without being personal. The ability to easily sever connections with people or abruptly end situations. Eliminating what no longer serves you without serious thought. The need to confront and deal with problematic issues or relationships in a manner that is straightforward about getting it over with. Situations in your life that deal with the finality and the emotional impact of irrevocable decisions.
Negatively, dreaming of a butcher's knife may represent a fear of being hurt by someone else's ruthless actions or decisions.
Example: A teenage girl dreamed of people threatening to kill her with butcher knives. In waking life, she had chronic kidney disease and had to get surgeries every 6 months. In this case, the butcher knives may have reflected her feelings about the surgeons' needing to make straightforward necessary cold medical decisions to address her serious health condition as though it was a normal part of her life.
