Brief Answer:

Ignore dreams.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

According to one method of dream analysis "To dream that you kill someone indicates that you are on the verge of losing your temper and self-control.

Consider the person you have killed and ask yourself if you feel any rage towards her or him in your waking life."

In Your case, as you don't know which person you are murdering, and what is the purpose, your dream seems to be simple anxiety related.

Please understand that dreams do not have any real-life relationships or association. Dreams are just thoughts of the unconscious mind.

Many scholars can give many explanations to your dream but each of them could XXXXXXX you off your peace of mind.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care

Regards,
Dr K. V. Anand, Psychologist
