Alice CandorKilling a centipede marks your attempt to stop a small, grating pressure that has worn down your patience. This dream marks an attempt to strike at a source of irritation that, while perhaps not life-threatening, has proven itself to be a constant drain on your mental energy. You are facing the impulse to clear away the small, repetitive irritations that occupy the periphery of your attention.
The effort of this dream reveals how much space these minor disturbances have been allowed to take up in your inner life. By acting against this slow nuisance, you are testing your ability to confront things that do not demand a grand struggle but nonetheless demand a resolution. There is a risk that in seeking to eliminate these distractions, you might become overly preoccupied with the very things you wish to discard. Your capacity to settle these small accounts allows you to reclaim the ground that these many legs have occupied. You are learning to prune the small tangles that snag your progress, leaving the path clear of any crawling centipede.
For its more general meaning: Dream about a centipede
I dreamt I killed a giant centipede in my kitchen sink
