Re: My daughter's dream two days ago.
Here we go again
The upstairs neighbors were making a lot of noise so she went upstairs to tell them to be quiet
Some disturbance in her thinking perhaps? She feels intuitively that this disturbance must be in some way tempered.
but the woman's boyfried came out and pushed her down the stairs and he had this death(reeper) mask on.
He represents the shadow of repressed aggression and destructive power in your daughter.
This dream could be interpreted as representing a child's normal difficulties actualising herself as an independent being. I say this because of the death reference, which in dreams often means transition through a particular stage of life in the process individuation. This is normal stuff, if somewhat frightening for your girl.
I
came out the door and I said"What is going on? "
Our mother in dreams can be our higher selves or our intuition or just things our mother has socialised us to believe and value that we have internalised.
Meaning of Dreams about Mother: Dream Interpretation Dictionary - Mother
The relationship that we have with our mother is the most psychologically significant relationship of all. Rarely all good or all bad, our mothers always invoke powerful emotions. We may dream about our mothers in many different forms. She may be disguised in our dreams, and it is our job to find her in there. If you are dreaming about your mother, you may be addressing some issues or concerns in your dream, or your dream may be based on a valuable memory. The general image of "mother" in a dream may symbolize a variety of feelings and ideas: caring, nurturing, love, acceptance, hard work, sacrifice, martyrdom, etc. The mother in your dream could also represent the "collective unconscious," the source of the "water of life," and the yin. Carl Jung suggests that women in dreams represent our collective unconscious and men the collective consciousness. Thus, the woman is that force, or current, inside of you that nudges you on and inspires you. It is your intuition and the knowledge that in not necessarily attached to words. Men, on the other hand, represent the active part of us that use the information received to create the physical reality of our lives. When the two are working together well, we have balance and experience awareness leading to peace and productivity.

and he killed me by stabbing me with a knife. He then set the house on fire.
It's very graphic and violent imagery, implying that your daughter is strongly identified with you and individuating creates a lot of psychic stress for her but she has to do it, just as you did from your parents.
Setting the house on fire is an extremely destructive act but if you look at the symbolism of fire you can also see it as very purifying. Old edifices are destroyed as the new personality transforms. Think in terms of the phoenix: the new rising from the old.
