A dream of being shot could also symbolize that you’re putting out provocative energy, where violent people might want to interact with. Another interpretation is you’re looking for an opportunity to start over, but you don’t want the responsibility to initiate this change to yourself.
There are many dreams about getting shot; it could be with a gun, with an arrow, using bombs and tanks, and many more. So, let’s know the meaning of every scenario.
When you dream of being shot by an arrow, it means that you should be careful of your own emotions and desires. You should know that when you dream of an arrow, it’s always related to matters of the heart.
If you’ve been shot using a single arrow and you’ve recognized the attacker in your dream, it means that there’s a rivalry or competition in your waking life.
You should also consider your partner and your relationship. It could be that there’s someone who wants to steal your partner, or you need to fight to get the attention of someone.
If, in your dreams, you’ve been shot by multiple arrows, it could mean that you’re too overwhelmed with your emotions. Also, it may refer to harsh words that may hurt you.
On the other hand, if you see yourself shooting arrows, it means that you want to compete with somebody in real life.
If you’re being shot with a gun, it means that you’re ready to fight just to survive. The seriousness of the fight will depend on the gun type and the number of attackers.
If there are too many shooters pointing guns at you, it means that you’re too overwhelmed and overworked in your waking life. Because of this, it feels like you’re feeling weak than others.
But if you’re the one who is shooting yet you can’t see your target, it means that you’re the one who controls every situation you face. Meanwhile, shooting an animal in your dream represents your desire to survive.
You are ready to do anything to survive in your waking life. Another meaning of dreams being shot with a gun is that you’re abused or persecuted by someone in real life.
If you see in your dreams that you have been shot with a bomb or tanks, it signifies that you have some misunderstandings with policies and political power. You could be a victim of some governmental organizations in your waking life.

Biblical meaning of being shot with a gun in a dream
It could also have a biblical meaning when you dream about being shot in dreams. Dreaming about the shot means something in your life being suppressed, abolished, or purposely ceased to function well.
Another interpretation of being shot in dreams means your change has been decided by you or someone else, and you’re going to see an alteration. Or, it could mean that you’re ready for your upcoming situation, where you’ll be struggling, feeling overwhelmed, and overworked in real life.
This dream also means that your feelings got weaker, but you’re still fighting and have control of the situation in real life. It could happen because you’re abused or controlled in your waking life.
Because of this, it brings you warrior versions just to tackle and conquer the harsh situations.
Dreaming about being shot indicates an argument or debate where you’re battling with your words just to win any argument.
Dream about getting shot and not dying
If you dream of being shot but not dying, then this dream means that you’re in a situation where you’re living on a painful wound as of this moment. The pain from this wound may not get worse anymore, but it won’t go away quickly either.
Are you familiar with the story of Chiron in Greek mythology? He was an immortal centaur who suffered a painful wound in a battle. As he could not die from the wound, he studied healing in an attempt to heal himself.
This dream about being shot but not dying represents that you’re tough enough to overcome serious challenges, even if you’re not entirely unharmed.
If a gunshot does not hit you, dream of being shot but you, it means that you’re in a situation where you feel safe and protected from some misfortune. This dream is a good omen, where you can escape whatever is threatening you right now.
If the other people get hit, this dream could signify survivor guilt. It means that you’re tormenting yourself mentally by the situation where others close to you died instead of you, such as getting a deadly disease, selected to serve in a war, but you did not.
Dreaming of being shot in the back could symbolize that someone in your life is plotting badly against you in a cowardly manner instead of confronting you. It could also mean that you’re dealing with someone who is resentful and is punishing you just the way how you offend them.
If you dream of getting shot in the neck could have a deeper meaning. The neck is the one that connects your head to the rest of the body.
The head represents intellectual ability, while the lower part represents physical ability. When you dream of being shot in the neck could mean that your mental ability is separated from your physical nature.
This injury to the neck could be associated with paralysis. Symbolically, it means that your thinking is clear, but you have difficulty composing your ideas and make into organized thoughts.
If you dream of being shot in the chest could be problematic. Since you can find the heart in your chest, this dream could symbolize that some problem in your life is severe and it threatens you.
Conversely, a dream of being shot in the chest could signify a situation where it feels like your heart is broken, just like a breakup from a long-term relationship. Meanwhile, dreaming of being shot in the head symbolizes a situation where your logic is unclear as to if you’re acting unreasonably.
This dream could also symbolize being shot in the head could mean that you’re involved in an intellectual conflict with someone. In reality, being shot in the head means instant death, but it could mean something different in a dream.
Mainly, dreaming about death by being shot signifies transformation, meaning you’re undergoing some changes.
If you dream of a loved one being shot, make sure you remember some of the details, such as your location during the shooting. If you’re actively trying to protect your loved one but fail to do it, it could symbolize that you feel you’re not good enough to handle a task in your real life.
It could also mean that the other person’s circumstances are challenging and that you can do nothing to help them or fix the situation for them.
On the other hand, if you’re not present in the dream when your loved one was shot and only heard about it, it could mean that you have a distant feeling in your relationship with this person or your relationship is not that good.
A much worse dream of all is when you’re both robbed and shot simultaneously. This dream symbolizes a situation in your life where you feel defeated.
When people are robbed, they intentionally hand over whatever they can give to the robber to discourage them from shooting them or harming them further. If you did in your dream, yet you still got shot, it could mean a situation where you’re involved with someone unreasonable.
If you dream of fighting back against the robber, it could represent that you need to reconsider how you pick your battles. Think about that if you fight back, is it worth it than getting shot?
If yes, this dream suggests that you’re willing to remain on your stand despite the consequences.
