My Dream:
After completing a second shift at work and being awake for 28 hours straight, I had a weird dream. I was running from something at first; didn’t know who or what, when I entered a closet and discovered some weapons. The first item I picked up was a short saber, but discarded it in lieu of a longer, sharper katana. I also strapped a black and silver Buck boot knife to my hip along with a military survival knife I already own. An interesting item of note here is that all three were strapped to my right hip. I ran out the house as the people were closing in on me, out the back door and through a grassy alley. I was almost nabbed by two people but managed to use my sword to get away. I came to a parking lot and hopped over a few planters while I could hear people in the background talking about me. These people knew, but didn’t know what was going on or how to help me. I began to wonder what I would do, where would I sleep? I began trying to recall what I did last time this happened to me. (I’ve a similar dream in the past, but the knives were not involved.)
Here are some interpretations from the Dream Dictionary:

Grass
To see green grass in your dream, suggests that there is a part of yourself that you can always rely on. The dream is also symbolic of natural protection.

Alternatively, the knife may be symbolic of something divisive in your life. You may be attempting to cut ties or sever some relationship.
