probably not. the effect is also known as the "intermediate axis theorem", because it only occurs when an object is spinning about its second principle moment of inertia, and its pretty easy to see that throwing a knife would be spinning it around its third principle moment.

its likely that you dont hear or feel things in dreams, or really even experience dreams at all. there was a phenomenon that occurred after television was first invented: previously in history, people had reported dreams being in color, but after television was widespread (and of course it was in black and white at first), people reported dreaming in grayscale. and then after color TV became the norm, people started reported dreaming in color again. this phenomenon is often cited as evidence that people dont experience dreams, they only remember them, and you brain fills in the details later as if they occurred in the past, but in reality your brain is creating them in real time. personally, anecdotally, ive had dreams where it feels like something (a person, a place, etc) is extremely familiar to me, as if ive known them my entire life, but in actuality are entirely novel. so personally im pretty susceptible to the idea that dreams fuck with your sense of time hardcore.
