Hitman – If you dream of a hitman, this indicates a threat in your life. Somebody is trying to sabotage you on your way to reaching your goals. Worse, someone may actively be trying to harm you. A dream symbol of a hitman is often a faceless threat representing general stress. This dream symbol may also represent the feeling that someone in your life lies in wait watching for you to make a mistake and then attack you. You may have been bought up with extremely strict parents or be in a relationship that is in some way oppressive.
