Dreaming of a Cannon

A cannon signals threat, struggle and betrayal, though a hard-fought business may still come good.
What happens in the dream
- Seeing or hearing cannons when you are in a relationship: you may have to see your partner off to defend those they love
- Cannons in peacetime: a struggle and probable defeat; if you handle your own business, success after much worry
- A cannon: your home or country threatened from outside, and young people suffering from war
- Hearing a cannon fire: illness or a death
- A cannon in general: beware of treacherous friends
How you felt
- Apprehension: the dream often mirrors a conflict rumbling in the background
- Being on the defensive: it may reflect a need to protect what you hold dear
Ask yourself
- What conflict do I sense coming?
- What am I bracing myself to defend against?
