What does it mean when someone is using a knife to put a scare on a face in a dream?

The question is difficult to understand as it is written. It might describe a dream in which someone is cutting a scary face into something, or it might refer to dreaming of a knife attack. Either way, it is a frightening dream involving a knife and a face. These images represent something that the dreamer fears that is perceived as sharp and cutting. The dream could be an exaggeration of the dreamer's distress at receiving "sharp criticism" or "cutting remarks." Perhaps the dreamer "lost face," or felt humiliated, resulting in this nightmare focused on the face.
