Getting shot is the mind’s reaction to a sudden, deep wound that strikes at a person’s security. This dream occurs when the mind rehearses the impact of a sudden malice that threatens to disrupt the stability of a current situation.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
