I have been researching dreams are over twenty years and my name is Flo. At the end of the day, we do not know really why we have dreams. If you could see blood in the dream connected to the slaughter this indicates a new beginning from a spiritual perspective. Now, there’s been many scientific research programs and various dreams have been measured through laboratory studies. What I do know is that dreams themselves offer us a remarkable insight into our own hidden elements in our mind. I can imagine that the dream of seeing animals or people slaughtered can be somewhat distressing. Firstly, I am sorry that you’ve had such a disturbing dream.

Generally, there are many different types of animals that can appear to be slaughtered in your dream. There may be different reasons for slaughtering the animals in your dream, it could be because they are diseased or alternatively for consumption reasons. The actual details of the dream should also be taken into consideration. Did you see carcasses or did you actually slaughter the animal yourself?

Alternatively, you could have actually seen a proper slaughterhouse and perhaps the butcher was slaughtering the animals? Whatever occurred in the dream, if you could see “slaughter” then this dream meaning will help you.

Ok, let’s look firstly at animal slaughter then move onto human slaughter in dreams. Sometimes we do not understand the slaughtering of animals, and since 1853 there has been a focus on humane methods of slaughter. For example, the development of stunning technologies has helped alleviate the pain of slaughter. If you saw any stunning equipment or machinery involved in the slaughter then from a psychological perspective this indicates that you are taking stock of your own objectives in life. If we turn to some of the famous dream psychologists such as Sigmund Freud or Carl Jung, they both believed that dreams were connected to our external impressions and visions in waking life. This means perhaps you saw the slaughter of people or animals on the television which resulted in this dream. Now, both these dreams psychologist did not believe in the spiritual side of dream interpretation.

I believe that the cow itself gives us special energy, especially as we derive milk from cows, this energy can be translated into the dream state. Now, in some religions the cow is also sacred, for example Hindu communities do not eat beef. Therefore, from a dream “spiritual” perspective this implies breaking away from something to ensure that you have the right space in order to think and take a more objective perspective on life. I had a very strange dream walks into a room and the cow was being slaughtered, there was blood everywhere but the whole dream seemed very calm and collective. When I try to decode my dream I understood that there was an issue that I had at work. I believe that the dream was in connection with the fact that "you" have to stand back and review the situation from an outside perspective. The cow I believe was a symbolism of the nurturing that I had to show the work context. There is also from ancient dream dictionaries the fact that cows also provide us with not only food and milk but also the symbolism of childbirth and fertility. It could simply be that the cow occurred in your dream because you are thinking about children getting pregnant if you are a woman.

I'm going to first turn to the spiritual meaning of a goat in this dream interpretation because it is important to understand how the goat being slaughtered in your dream affects your subconscious mind. The goat itself is sometimes quite difficult animals to understand. If we look at the goat as a spiritual symbolism it is often connected to how hard we work in life.

Because the goat is very different than rams or sheep. Why? Because groups of goats normally reside together on grassy hills - spiritually the goat is associated with your own independence. Goats are also connected to our own achievements, as I said in the opening paragraph they are connected to work and how we approach our work situations.

Therefore, the dream of a slaughtered goat indicates that there will be a problem in the future. The dream can suggest that perhaps you have fallen out with people in your life. Have you found difficult to gain respect? Slaughtering a goat in the dream state indicates that you have seen a problem in motion. If you see others slaughtering the goat it indicates you are contemplating various events in your life.
