Serial Killer Dream Meaning: Should You Be Scared?

Dreaming about serial killers can be terrifying. Just think about how scared you were when you saw your first horror movie. 

Now imagine your subconscious putting you in those kind of situations. 

It gives me chills just thinking about it. I’m one of those people who can return to their dreams after waking up so nightmares are especially hellish. There’s been times I’ve re-entered the same nightmare five to 10 times in a night.

But what do they mean? Am I going to die? What do I need to learn from them?

We’re going to discuss different interpretations of the serial killer dreams meaning and how you should handle them depending on what role you are in the dream.

Get ready to learn what it means when a serial killer chases you.

What Does It Mean When You Dream About A Serial Killer Chasing You?

Dreams about a serial killer chasing you often mean there is something you fear. When you fear something, you have two choices: face it or run from it.

Given dreams tend to be abstract, you have to look at what it is you fear.

Is it something obvious like you watched a scary movie or saw someone get killed right in front of you? Then you’re just responding to that and a fear of your own morality. You’ll just have to accept it because the chances of becoming immortal are unlikely.

Dreams About A Serial Killer - The Profile

The meaning of the serial killer dream is almost always tied to fears and personal goals. Sure, there can be other interpretations, but the simplest answer is normally the right one. 

Take the time every morning and night to meditate on the day. Process what you must do in the morning and your results at night. Always do your best, and know that you will rise above whatever life offers (or you could hide in your shell and wait to die).

What Do Dreams About Being A Victim Of A Serial Killer?

Being the victim of a serial killer in your dreams most likely means you aren’t pursuing your goals. You’re failing to do what it takes to live up to your potential, and you must start taking the steps to succeed. If dying at the hands of a serial killer is a repeating dream, it should start to fade as you make more progress in the right direction.

On the other hand, it could also mean you’re going to die soon. Probably not, but it could be intuition. If you get deja vu about a scenario in your dream, do yourself a favor and run. 

It could also mean that you had a past life where you died at the hands of a serial killer.

You can’t do anything about that. If that was the case, you better do your best to meet your goals and hope that your serial killer isn’t one of your soul mates (souls that travel through lives together to learn more about each other). That would suck cause they might get you again.

What Do Dreams About Being A Serial Killer Mean?

You need to focus on what’s important if you are the serial killer in a dream. You’re letting too many things distract you in your waking life and failing to properly engage with what matters.

In other words stop messing around and slay all day!

What Do Dreams About A Loved One Being A Serial Killer Mean?

A dream about family and friends being a serial killer often means you’re having trouble trusting them because they seem remorseless. 

Try talking to them about what concerns you. If you want to make the conversation really fun, start by telling them you dreamt they were a serial killer. It should get their attention. 

If you believe or know that the person is a serial killer or would harm you, I strongly discourage having the previously mentioned conversation. It could turn into a bloody mess.

What Do Dreams About Serial Killers Mean In Psychology?

Sigmund Freud loved studying dreams and even wrote a book about them. He believed that fear and anxiety about things, especially death, are the cause of dreams about a serial killer.

What Do Dreams About A Serial Killer And Children Mean?

Children are normally a representation of your inner child while killers are a representation of goals and fears. When you combine the two, it may often mean that goals and fears caused you to repress parts of your childhood that need to be explored deeper.

Do Dreams Of A Serial Killer Have A Spiritual Meaning?

Fear and wanton ambition are two common spiritual meanings of a serial killer in a dream. It may be not easy to see which one it is, but ask yourself :

“I am doing everything I can to achieve my goals?”

Those who are doing everything they should, are likely allowing ambition to get in the way of things that could create better results including love, empathy, and intuition.

Meanwhile, those who aren’t pursuing their goals, need to look at what they are being called to do and rise to the occasion. 

What To Do If The Dream Of A Serial Killer Turns Into A Nightmare?

I’ve known people who could consciously control their dreams and nightmares. Try to see if you can. Facing your fears instead of running or hiding from them will probably produce a different result.

For those who can’t control their dreams, when you wake up analyze what you’ve been avoiding or dreading, then face it.

When these are recurring dreams, it says you need to wake up and start handling business. Your brain continually pushes the same dream when it’s afraid you’re not doing the right thing.

Do You Run From Your Fears While Awake?

It’s fairly common for people to avoid conflict, fears, and anything stressful. It’s hard to rise above that, but like climbing a mountain, the view is best at the top, and the descent once you’ve overcome an obstacle is much quicker.
