Waking from a dream where you killed someone is frightening, and it says nothing about your character or any hidden danger in you. Dreams use extreme images for ordinary feelings. This one almost always means anger with no outlet, a boundary you need to set, or something you want decisively finished.

The same image arrives in a few different shapes, and the shape is where the meaning lives. Find the one closest to the night you had.
Which way your version reads
Because dreams have no vocabulary for polite degrees. Waking language has irritated, fed up and furious; dreams have one blunt picture. If you have been swallowing anger for months to keep the peace, the dream will not show you a firm conversation. It will show you the most final act it can find. The scale is grammar, not intent.
It matters, but rarely literally. If it was someone real, look at what they represent — a demand, a role, a way you have to behave around them. Often the dream is about ending the dynamic, not the person. If it was a stranger, the figure usually stands for a part of yourself you want to stop obeying.
Because your conscience does not check timestamps. You felt the act and the moral weight arrived with it. That guilt is evidence of exactly the opposite of danger — a person with no conscience does not wake up troubled. Let the residue pass, then ask the real question about where your anger has been going.

Take it to a notebook rather than to a decision. A dream is useful when it makes a question sharper, not when it hands you a verdict about your health, your money or another person.
Questions
No. Violent dream content is extremely common among gentle people and has no predictive value. It reflects unexpressed feeling. If you do have waking urges to harm yourself or another person, that is a separate matter and worth talking to a doctor about today.
Concealment usually reflects anger you believe would be unacceptable if seen. The hiding is the real symbol. It points at a feeling you consider shameful rather than at anything you did.
