Dream About Witnessing Murder
Detailed Interpretation
You witness a murder—you don't kill but you see it. You're observer of violence, present for destruction, watching death happen.
What do you do? Just watching suggests passive witness. Trying to stop suggests intervention. Hiding suggests fearful observation. Your role matters.
Who dies? The victim is what you're watching end. Their identity points to what you're witnessing be destroyed. Who or what are you seeing killed?

The burden of witnessing—you saw something die. You carry that knowledge. What ending have you witnessed that you carry?
