Owen SterlingKilling a cockroach in a dream is the mind working through a specific, localized irritation that has been present in the background of awareness. This action is a rehearsal for removing a single, identifiable problem that the sleeper is currently processing.
Dealing with this small intrusion lets the mind clear away a specific source of discomfort. While the encounter involves a confrontation with something unpleasant, the act of elimination provides a mechanism for the brain to signal the conclusion of a particular cycle of annoyance. The dreamer finds that the source of disgust has been removed.
Killing cockroaches in a dream expands the scope of this resolution to a broader set of persistent difficulties that have been accumulating. The mind moves from a single point of friction to a more widespread effort to tidy up many small, nagging troubles at once.
Stepping on roaches or killing roaches in a dream shifts the focus toward a more aggressive stance against invasive or defamatory elements that threaten one’s peace. The dreamer’s response to these swarming or repulsive nuisances is an attempt to cleanse a perceived environment of lingering shame or social discomfort.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
