Knife in a dream
Folk tradition reads a knife in a dream gently, as decisiveness and a clear word, not as a sign of anything bad.
In folk belief, a knife in a dream speaks of a need to cut something short: a doubt, a delay or a tangled conversation. Old dream books say a kitchen knife means housekeeping and laying the table for guests, and a sharp knife a clear thought and a quick decision. A blunt knife is read as a task that takes a bit more effort. If the scene in your dream unsettled you, it is said to be only a picture of a tense day, with no message to worry about.
