Due to the impact that the images of a gun and bullets have on your subconscious, this dream can already be classified as a nightmare. You wake up with fright and even with the echo of your own scream, but at the same time you feel relief that it wasn’t real. Dreaming about being shot is not pleasant, but the first thing you should know is that it is NOT related to injuries or death..
After this dream you could go out into the street turning your head everywhere and taking care of any eventuality, but no, calm down, because it is NOT a warning of danger (assaults, attacks or accidents).
The reality is that dreaming about being shot is a common dream, and not because of frequency, but because we all go through that situation at some point in our lives during our deep rest. In general terms, it is an invitation to reflect on how your life is right now..
What does it mean to dream that you are shot?
According to experts in oneirology, a science that studies the meaning of dreams, It can symbolize that you are being a victim of someone and even yourself..
If you have suffered domestic violence, psychological attacks, bullying or perhaps the environment in your office is too harsh, your mind is transforming those images into shots that go against you. It does not mean that they can kill you, but it does mean that they are causing you an emotional year that you must reverse immediately..
Dreaming about being shot is also associated with scams, deception by someone close, infidelity.. However, you must also analyze the context. For example, dreaming about gunshots is not the same as being shot at and there is also a difference between being shot once and being shot several times.
If it happens only once, it means that there is a particular situation that is causing you worries or physical and psychological damage. But when there are several shots it means that you feel really tormented by what is happening.
Self-punishment and repressed emotions
Take into account that They can also be stressful scenarios that you face silently, that is, repressing your emotions in some way.: debts, dissatisfaction in your relationship or your job, family pain or the loss of a loved one.
Shooting also symbolizes self-punishment. Maybe you’ve made mistakes that you still haven’t forgiven yourself for, so it’s a cycle that continues to manifest in your dreams.
And finally you should pay attention to the end of the dream, that is, how you feel after the shot if you have not woken up. You will always come out unscathed, obviously, but your reaction is key. If you act normal it means that there was a problem that you have already overcome, but If you react with despair (even though there is no pain), that negative situation is present.
