I dreamt of murdering a person whom I have never known, nor do I even recognize any of their facial features. Yet the guilt was hard that it was still there even when I woke up.
Dreaming about murdering someone can represent repressed anger, frustration, or even self-hatred that the dreamer may be feeling in their waking life. The unfamiliar face of the victim could indicate that this anger or frustration is not necessarily directed towards a specific person, but rather a general feeling of aggression or negativity. The guilt that the dreamer felt after the dream suggests that they are aware of these intense feelings and are struggling with them. It may be helpful for the dreamer to explore these emotions and find healthy ways to express them in their waking life, such as through therapy or creative outlets.
