1- When a dagger appears in a dream, the meaning can either be aggressive or defensive.

If the dreamer is using the dagger to attack someone then he may be trying to cut out some part of himself or trying to get rid of something he does not like.

If the dreamer is being stabbed, lie is highlighting his vulnerability.

2- Psychologically, to be penetrated by any sharp instrument is usually to do with one’s masculine side and often refers to one’s sexuality.

3- The dagger, if turned on oneself, represents an age-old instrument of sacrifice.

Psycho Dream Interpretation

by Ella Freeman Sharpe
The dagger seen in a dream is a threat.

It is also considered a symbol of the male sex. Anxiety, fear of bodily injury that may leave the dreamer impotent are associated with dagger dreams that are common to men.

For women, the implication is one of genuine fear of gossip or slander.

If the dreamer takes the dagger away from the assailant, none of the fears will materialize. Both men and women can trace these dreams to some act that threatens their reputation, or a desire for sexual relationship that might harm them morally.
