Alternatively, using a dagger in a dream can represent a need to cut ties or sever a relationship that's causing harm.

It can also symbolize a decisive action or a need to make a tough decision. Both of these dreams highlight a sense of conflict, either internal or external, and the need to confront it.

They call for courage, discernment, and decisive action on your path to spiritual enlightenment.
