I had this dream about me being shot. What does it mean?

Question

In the dream I was in the car with this guy who looked like a gangster but oddly enough he was friendly. So we were driving in his car and we pull into a parking lot and all of a sudden I see these guys, also gangsters, and then my "friend" yells and throws himself out of the car and I look out the front window and I see one of the guys pointing a gun and then bam! A gun shot goes off and I feel myself falling to the side and I touch my head and see all this blood and feel it all running down my face.

Then I wake up feeling that same feeling as if I was shot. My entire body was numb and it was hard for me to get out of bed. This is the strongest dream I've ever had. Please what does it all mean?

Answer 1

To dream that someone is shooting you with a gun, suggests that you are experiencing some confrontation in your waking life. You may feel victimized in some situation. to dream about gansters signifies that Your are experiencing a conflict in ideas and interest. It is time to be more assertive and take control of your life.

Answer 2

Can mean a number of things.

Dreaming of guns indicates suppressed aggression.

The gun pointing at you signifies that you feel threatened by a person or situation.

As guns represent enforced control and domination through fear or aggression, you may be battling with an aspect of yourself that is dominating your thoughts.

Answer 3

I think a lot of the times in a dream like this, we are just enabling ourselves to live out a dangerous scenario like this simply because of the fact that we never have before and are subconsciously curious about what it would be like.  The vividness I believe, is just a result of the traumatic nature of what had taken place in your mind, which during dreams can produce very elaborate recreations of experiences that we haven't even had yet.  When there is a gap in experience and a strong curiosity about it (whether consciously or subconsciously) , then you can pretty much count on the fact that eventually your ever-inquisitive mind is going to try to fill that gap in experience the only way that it feels able to at the time which would be in a dream.
