Re: Murder
Not to detract anything from Tim’s analysis, there are other patterns that may be relevant. For instance, if you consider the prostitute as represented in a cheesy 70s cop show, she tends to be of low social status and such characters are routinely despatched. So in your dream there’s a sense that someone is “getting away with murder†in broad daylight and the victim is one of the socially marginalised. Your moral sense is intact but when you speak up for the marginalised, you are ignored. This may comment on a situation present in your life or something you've been thinking about.
If the prostitute represents an aspect of self, some part of you that sold out for survival, (I think “the prostitute†is fairly archetypal) her murder might represent that you’ve elected to ruthlessly eliminate this attitude of capitulation for survival from your behavioural repertoire. At some level, this might cause you alarm.
More latter, gotta rush away...
