This dream i had awhile ago so not too many details.

So i walk through this really beat up old dingy house up to the attic and find three little girls. Two are sleeping together in one bed and another is sleeping alone in her own bed. I kill these little girls. I dont know how cause the dream never shows me how. Its almost like i dont kill them they just dissapear but i know that i killed them because in this dream i feel this guilt that makes me think thats what happens. I repeat this part of the dream several times over and over before moving to the next part. In the next part its completely flipped. Instead of me going inside and killing the girls im in this old truck outside waiting for the moment these girls die so i can save them. This part doesnt repeat at all. Help?

One way of looking at dream interpretation is to think of other dream characters as aspects of your own personality, so maybe this dream is saying that there is some aspect of yourself that you have "killed" over and over again, but felt guilty about, and thus then tried to save?

How do i go about finding out what this/these charcteristic/s are that i "killed" in myself ?

Well, the main way is to think about the meaning of the dream yourself, and see if you come up with a meaning that sounds right to you, and it could be something completely different than what I mentioned. Keep in mind that "killing" may be a big exaggeration in a dream. So it could represent "discontinuing" or "disapproving" or something like that that your mind translated into killing as a weird metaphor.

What is on your waking mind? What's going on? Such a dream is very unlikely I think to be about something that is not somehow on our waking mind. Though it could of course be not something that is necessarily on your mind now - it could be the memory of past issues, but much more likely related to present issues in some way. I think a lot of dreams are mind's way of creative problem solving in dreams, digesting stuff that is on one's mind to either find a resolution or try to put an issue to rest, and it often involves finding a symbolic metaphor to something else that your waking mind would not consider related necessarily but your dreaming mind draws that unusual connection.

So the way to decipher such a dream is often to look at what is on your mind and seeing if one can draw a connection between that and the dream.

Lily,
You feel beat up with a dingy outlook. It seems the two meant companionship or not being alone, and the other girl meant being alone.
Did you kill both ideas or sides of you? Do you feel that you alone are no good, so being with others can't be either? Or in some situation or regard anyway. Before you or relationships can barely grow?

So you did not know how you made these parts of you disappear, you just know you did kill them, that makes you feel guilty. And maybe your guilt is what killed you too.
You went over and over this in your mind it seems.

REVERSING IT
Until you think of reversing this dingy heavy situation which is a hard haul. You wait for when you will die to save your ungrown self.

CORRECTION:
But why wait til you die inside? You can stop that from happening before it has a chance, if you reverse the trend fully, and start seeing your self worth.
