Knot in a dream

Biblical meaning from Hearing God's Voice in Dreams by Apostle Nicholas V. Mbanjwa

Also: Tied cord, Tangled knot, Knotted rope, Knots

What it means

Binding, the tying of cords, and the making of vows. Daniel is described as having the supernatural ability to loose knots — rendered in modern versions as solving difficult problems or dissolving doubts.

Marriage, agreement and strength. A threefold cord is not quickly broken.

If a man vow a vow unto the Lord, he shall not break his word — the knot in Scripture is often the vow itself.

✦ When it is positive

Oneness
Harmony
Agreement
The God-given ability to loose what others cannot untangle

⚠ When it is a warning

A heavy demonic riddle or a complicated curse — noting that muthi, African witchcraft potions, are tied in knots

How to tell the difference

CHRISTIANS SHOULD NOT FEAR MUTHI, because God promises invincibility against it: 'Surely there is no enchantment with or against Jacob, neither is there any divination with or against Israel. In due season it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What has God wrought!' (Numbers 23:23 AMPC). Note whether the dreamer ties, unties, or is bound by the knot.

Scripture

Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob; neither is there any divination with Israel. Now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, ‘What has God done!’

Daniel 5:12 (WEB)
