Knife

A 'Knife' in a dream represents a mental tool for change. Like a gun, a knife is a tool used to cut, separate, and transform. However, a knife requires close, personal contact -- you must be right

next to what you are cutting. In the Universal Language of the Mind, this reflects a mental tool for change that operates at close range -- intimate, precise, and personal. A knife is a tool of precision. A surgeon uses a knife to remove exactly what needs to be removed without damaging the surrounding tissue. This reflects the focused, precise nature of the inner change being represented -- not a sweeping, explosive transformation, but a careful, deliberate cutting away of what no longer serves you. Pay attention to what is being cut and by whom. Are you wielding the knife, actively and deliberately making precise changes within yourself? Is someone else cutting, indicating that an aspect of your consciousness is performing the surgery? Is the knife sharp or dull? A sharp knife reflects effective tools for change, while a dull knife suggests that your ability to make the changes you need is impaired. When a knife shows up in your dream, it is calling for you to make precise, deliberate changes in your life. This is not the time for sweeping generalizations or vague intentions. Identify specifically what needs to be cut away, and apply the disciplined focus of your concentration to do so with surgical precision.
