Knife

General Meaning: Separation
Dreaming of a knife is symbolic of a separation, perhaps a romantic one, or a parting of the way in business, or social life. Because, this is what knives do; they cut, a knife in your dream might mean to take some caution now to avoid being hurt. We can also injure ourselves while using a knife carelessly, so if you are thinking of ending something, think twice. Knives are “male” in their descriptive form, whereas forks are “female.”
