A gun stands for power at a distance and the threat of force, and dream books read it as control, aggression or the fear of being targeted. Holding a gun is read as wanting to protect yourself or take control of a situation. Having a gun pointed at you is taken as feeling threatened, pressured or put on the spot. A gun that will not fire is read as frustration and powerlessness — strong feelings that cannot get out. Hiding a gun is read as suppressed anger. Like all dreams of weapons, it is read symbolically and not as a forecast. It can help to ask where in your life you feel a need to defend yourself.
When this appeared in your dream, what were you feeling?
My Cosmic Code has a private dream journal. Write a dream down and the app picks out the symbols in it, shows what dream books say about them and, over time, which words recur across your entries. The journal is stored on your device only.
