Killing a praying mantis is read as the successful overcoming of a calculated threat. The dream signals that the shadow of a watcher has been lifted. The action marks the interruption of a scheme that relies on stillness to succeed.
The destruction of the insect signifies that the period of waiting for a blow is over. A strike is neutralized before it can land. The threat is rendered powerless by the act.
For its more general meaning: Dream about a praying mantis
I killed a praying mantis running across my bed
