Dreaming of a Shotgun

shotgun, hunting rifle, rifle · negative

A shotgun warns of domestic troubles; firing both barrels, of justified anger at mistreatment.

What happens in the dream

  • You fire both barrels: you'll be treated so badly that your anger will be justified
  • You see a shotgun: trouble at home and worries over children or staff

How you felt

  • Anger: the dream often reflects exasperation held in too long
  • Defensiveness: it may echo a sense of being cornered

Ask yourself

  • What's exasperating me right now?
  • How could I express anger without doing harm?
