- Wall. First of all, the wall is interpreted as protection and patronage from above, but it also personifies restriction and pressure. Because of this, shooting into the wall has a dual explanation. On the one hand, it symbolizes good luck, a feeling of confidence and comfort. On the other hand, such a dream indicates that the sleeper is overly protective; he is not given the opportunity to make any decisions on his own. He is trying to free himself from control.
- Target. If the dreamer hits a target while shooting, then he has already found a goal in his life or will soon realize it. The dream indicates newfound certainty and confidence in the future. If the sleeper makes a mistake, then he has doubts about the correctness of his choice. In addition, he is dissatisfied with the situation at work.
- Human. Shooting at a person indicates that the dreamer feels guilty for being excessively aggressive and rude. He needs to try to remember who may have been offended, since the sleeper subconsciously wants to ask for forgiveness for this. If he is sure that the vision is not associated with such experiences, then the dream is interpreted as a warning about the need to be strict in the future.
When analyzing a dream, you should pay attention to the emotions experienced by the person. If they were positive, the dreamer felt confident in his abilities, then the image foreshadows good events.
If the emotions were negative, for example, the sleeper felt aggression or fear, then the symbol warns of caution, since the person may be in danger.
Subconscious
On a subconscious level, weapons represent aggression. If you direct it at another person, threaten him or even shoot him, this indicates accumulated tension and irritation. You can't express your emotions in the real world, so you do it in your fantasies. Perhaps your aggression is directed against a specific person? Then you should sort things out with him or stop communicating.
On the other hand, a pistol can symbolize protection, the desire to preserve one’s own values (material or spiritual). In this case, you feel tension, possible danger. Although you may not realize where it comes from. It is possible that they are putting pressure on you, which you are resisting with all your might.
