Shooting

Being shot, Gunfire

Shooting dreams are loud and startling, but they're usually about focus and pressure rather than violence. Being shot often reflects feeling hurt, targeted or caught off guard by criticism. Shooting at something can show you're aiming for a goal, or that you want to end a problem quickly. If you missed, you may feel your efforts aren't landing. How you felt afterward tells you what the dream is working through.
