Killing a Scorpion

In a dream, killing a scorpion signifies the presence of a person who appears to be a friend, who constantly smiles in your face, and who is of help to you. It is interpreted to mean that this person, who is always smiling at you, will come to you like a remedy in your time of hardship and will remove the difficulties in your professional life by supporting you financially, but that, in time, he will wish to use the assistance he has rendered you to make you do things that you do not approve of and do not deem right.

Seeing a scorpion in a dream already signifies the presence of a self-interested person who does not wish to help anyone unless there is some benefit in it for him, and who helps another only when it accords with his own interests.

As for the dreamer killing this scorpion in his dream, it indicates that he will realize the presence of this harmful person around him just as that person is about to harm him, and that merely because the person has given him financial assistance, he will not do what that person says. It also signifies that, after their relations have been very good, he will suddenly awaken to the matter and abruptly remove from his life the person who has begun to harm it.

If the dreamer is killing the scorpion in his house, this signifies the presence of someone around him who wishes to harm him, and that this person will do everything in his power, by speaking with the dreamer’s mother, father, or, if the dreamer is married, his spouse, to cause his family to form negative and evil opinions about him. Yet it also indicates that the dreamer’s family will not believe this person, but will stand behind the dreamer and support him.

Seeing oneself killing a scorpion in a dream indicates that, in real life, particularly in his professional life, the dreamer has a self-interested business partner who thinks only of his own welfare and at times conceals money from his partner, though the dreamer is not greatly aware of this. It further indicates that, as time passes, he will perceive the true intention of this harmful person around him and will part ways with him without ever entering into an argument or experiencing an evil incident.

If the dreamer sees one of his family members or close friends killing a scorpion, this indicates that the dreamer is greatly loved by those around him and that, even though he may not realize it himself, those who love him protect him and prevent harm from reaching him.

Seeing anyone repeatedly striking a scorpion with a stone until killing it in a dream indicates that the dreamer will witness the material and spiritual decline and losses of a self-interested person who exists in his life and thinks only of himself.

According to some interpreters of dreams, seeing a scorpion dead in a dream is interpreted as meaning that, after the hardships and afflictions endured, great efforts will be made and the fruits of those efforts will be received with manifold recompense.

Trying to kill a scorpion in a dream indicates that the dreamer is striving to rid himself of a person who causes him harm in his professional life. It indicates that the dreamer has a colleague or business partner in his work environment who harms him and even attempts to harm him at every opportunity, that the dreamer is aware of this, and that he is merely waiting for the suitable moment to rid himself of this person. Yet it also signifies that matters will not unfold as he supposes: this person will first inflict minor harms upon him, and only afterward will they part ways.

If, in the dream, the scorpion is being killed by hand, this indicates that a harmful person in the dreamer’s professional life will not merely cause harm to the dreamer himself, but will also cause one of the dreamer’s close associates or family members to suffer financial losses. It further indicates that the dreamer will learn of this only after ending his relationship with that person, and therefore will be unable to make good the financial loss.

Conversely, trying to kill the scorpion in a dream with the foot or elbow, without touching it by hand, is interpreted to mean that the business partner who desires the dreamer’s harm is attempting to harm a beloved close relative of the dreamer, but that the dreamer will prevent it by seeing or hearing of it.

Killing a black scorpion in a dream indicates that the dreamer will enter new lines of business, form a partnership in these new fields with a person whom he has never known, and, after a certain period has passed, upon catching this partner concealing money from him, will wipe out the partnership in a single stroke. Killing a black scorpion in a dream is also an indication that the dreamer must be more cautious in his business partnerships; in other words, it may likewise be called a dream serving as a warning.

According to some interpreters of dreams, seeing a black scorpion in a dream is an indication that the dreamer, in his professional life, does not think with great ill intent and acts with a somewhat more innocent and non-commercial sentiment. Killing the black scorpion in a dream is also related as meaning that the dreamer has in fact entered and left situations highly conducive to suffering loss in his professional life, yet has not suffered any loss.

Killing a white scorpion in a dream indicates that the dreamer’s business partner or colleague is being used by another person who wishes to harm him—in other words, that an enemy wishes to bring harm upon the dreamer by using his colleague or partner—but that the dreamer will notice this at the last moment and not fall into the trap; on the contrary, he will cause them to fall into a snare and suffer loss.

If the white scorpion killed in the dream is a young one, that is, small, this indicates that the business partner being used as an instrument does not normally intend to harm the dreamer and is not even aware that he himself is being used. If the scorpion killed in the dream is large and has a tail, it signifies that they will deliberately and willingly set a plot against the dreamer.

Killing a yellow scorpion in a dream is interpreted to mean that, in the dreamer’s professional life, an attempt is being made to deceive him, lead him onto false paths, influence him into making wrong decisions, and persuade him thereto; and that, at first, unaware of this, the dreamer will make wrong decisions and suffer financial loss, but afterward will recover his condition by acting according to his own decisions and doing what he himself knows to be right.

According to some dream interpretations, killing a yellow scorpion in a dream is also interpreted as the dreamer not yielding to his lower self.

It provides early awareness; the person sees risks before they grow and can choose a more solid path.

Neglect, haste, untrustworthy people or uncontrolled behavior can increase the difficulty.

In the interpretation, the themes of work and responsibility, success and reputation, the emotional tone in the dream, and how the symbol concludes in the dream should be evaluated together.
