An interpretation of serial killer dreams
This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. As with most dream characters, a serial killer is symbolism based on common perceptions and personal situations. A serial killer character can be a dream’s way of saying that someone or something methodically works against you. For example, people in business who play a “zero-sum game” are out to win at any cost, including by eliminating their competition. They are killers in the sense that they can kill your business. Serial killers are often indistinguishable from ordinary people. They can disguise themselves behind a facade of friendliness and affability in order to avoid getting caught and to take their victims unaware. A man who owns a business dreams that he knows a serial killer is in his warehouse, and he warns himself to be careful. He’s working and gets a text message, which he ignores, then another, more insistent message that reads, The serial killer is here, be careful. It symbolizes his subconscious knowledge that he’s being set up. The serial killer is not depicted in this dream, but its presence in the dreamer’s workplace is a clue that points to where the danger is coming from. He’s making some big business decisions and feels exposed to subterfuge because he’s dealing with new people. But no one sticks out as suspicious enough to be characterized as a serial killer, even in an exaggerated way. Then it dawns on him that one of his suppliers is also a competitor, and that rival is positioning himself to wipe out the dreamer’s business. The rival has cleverly maneuvered for the kill, and the dream tells the man what he knows subconsciously but has been too busy to realize. His dream gives him the prompting he needed to connect the dots. Dreams can use a serial killer character to take you inside the mind of such a person. For example, a student of psychology studying serial killers dreams recurrently about a serial killer. Some of the scenes are very intense, as in the movie Silence of the Lambs. The dream acts as a simulation to take the dreamer inside the mind of a serial killer. See also: Fear, Killing, Killing, Pain
