Dreams about weapons

Collapse all   



Weapons in general

Dreaming about weapons is a negative sign. It could warn you about some impeding threat, danger or overwhelming feelings of insecurity. This menace could be caused to you by those around you. You would desperately try to take charge of the situation by force. For example, you would try to impose yourself upon others via an authoritative and bossy relationship style. You could also try to force yourself into some sort of inflexible and rigid state of mind.

A single type of weapon

Dreaming about a very unique and specific type of a weapon, such as a rifle, a pistol, a cannon, is a forewarning. You may encounter other peoples’ oppressive, authoritative and despotic orders and desires. This person or group of individuals would be close to you. They would make your life a living hell. To cope with their attitude, you could become subservient and submissive. At an extreme, you would completely silence your personality, wishes and needs. Although you could be aware of what was happening to you, you might feel unable to resist or counteract their demands.

Ancient weapons

Seeing or handling ancient weapons in a dream could translate some a long-waited recompense. It is possible that someone made a promise or asked you for a favor a long time ago. This person would have failed to repay or compensate you in any way up until now. Alternatively, this dream could translate the making of a sound investment. For example, you would buy some material possession, such as a new property or possession and end-up having some profit.

Weapons as firearms

Dreaming about firearms is a positive sign. It could reveal the existence of an optimistic attitude. You would be, and continue to be a positive and enthusiastic person. You would project such good vibe onto others. For example, you would be the life of the party or the driving force of some project. This personal characteristic would be appreciated by others.

Firing a weapon

Dreaming about firing a weapon could translate impulsiveness. You could currently be or soon become careless, reactive and irresponsible. You would fail to pay the necessary attention and dedication to your existing duties and obligations. This could be a temporary state caused by factors such as fatigue and exhaustion.

Acquiring a weapon

Dreaming about acquiring or coming into the possession of a weapon could be a positive sign. It could translate upcoming recognition and respect. Your power, knowledge, skills or status would start to be acknowledged, renowned and admired by others.

Hunting weapons

Dreaming about seeing or handling hunting weapons could symbolize the pursuit of a genuine personal interest. You might feel inclined to go after something that you truly enjoy, are interested in and feel curious about. That is, you would try to bring some old passion or hobby back to life.

Cleaning weapons

Dreaming about cleaning or polishing weapons could be a negative sign. You should get ready to fight. That is, you could presently or soon face some conflictual, challenging and antagonistic situation. You would have to assemble your means, stand up to the opponent and resourcefully deal with the situation.

Buying weapons

Dreaming about buying weapons could be a forewarning. Namely, you could have recently been the victim of some unexpected and sudden aggression. You would feel the need to ensure your safety. Alternatively, you could presently be in a fragile situation. There would be a high likelihood of soon being materially or psychologically robbed or assaulted. In this case, the dream works as a warning. You should be more attentive to what is happening around you so that you can prevent or minimize the adverse effects of any upcoming offense.

Accepting weapons as a gift

Dreaming about accepting weapons as a gift could be a warning. You might be striving to achieve some particular objective. You currently contemplate the employment of illegal or fraudulent means to assure or prove your success. However, the dream suggests that this path would probably culminate in failure.

Choosing weapons at a gunshop

Dreaming about observing yourself inside a gun shop and browsing through the weapons with the intention of buying some could symbolize acceptance and reconciliation. Some news might have been disclosed to you in the past by a close friend of yours. At the outset, you might refuse and repel the news as lies, offenses or misjudgments. You might feel angry. However, under close and sincere inspection, you would realize that the news were true. Hence, you would benefit from accepting and reconciling with what has been revealed to you.

Hearing weapon shots

Dreaming about hearing gunshots could symbolize death. It is possible that someone distantly related to you or to someone close to you might pass away. Alternatively, you could escape some dangerous situation, only becoming aware of the menace from a distance. Finally, the dream could also translate the possibility of being the victim of other people’s offenses and accusations. However, their hostility would not last long.

Carrying a weapon

Dreaming about carrying a weapon or weapons could symbolize grief. It is possible that you have been greatly disappointment by someone or something in the past. Presently, you might feel the need of keeping yourself safe by resorting to potentially aggressive and violent means. Alternatively, you could become involved in some dubious or unexpected situation. This event might emotionally harm and hurt you to a great extent.

Military weapons

Dreams involving visions of military weapons often symbolize negative emotions. You may soon become seriously preoccupied, anxious, unhappy, dissatisfied, frustrated or disillusioned. If you belong to any military organization, you may be called on duty or enter the battle field. You would feel preoccupied and tense with your future. Alternatively, some event taking place near your living area or to the one of your acquaintances would cause you such upsetting feelings.

Receiving a weapon

Dreaming about receiving or being handed a weapon could represent conflicts and disagreements. You may be or become involved in a fight or hostile situation. During this event, there could be physical, verbal or emotional aggressions between you and someone else.

Having a weapon and being with other people

Dreaming about carrying a weapon amidst a crowd of armed people could translate the offering of support. Some perhaps unknown person or group of individuals might make available to you important defense resources. That is, you would go under their wing and receive their protection. Alternatively, you would find an important ally to your cause.

A weapon covered in blood

Dreaming about seeing or handling a weapon covered with blood could represent lack of emotional balance or instability. You may experience mood swings, alternating from moments of happiness to moments of sadness. These moods are not necessarily reactive and consequent of external circumstances.

Unusual types of weapons

Dreaming about observing the use of unusual types of weapons such as an axe, a shovel or a fork could symbolize inner conflicts. It is possible that you currently or soon would experience an internal struggle. Your practical and logical side is producing outcomes which contradict those achieved using more creative and imaginative processes. Alternatively, the dream could speak of your anti-social, destructive and violent tendencies or personality traits.

People carrying weapons

Dreaming about observing a crowd of armed people carrying weapons could be a positive sign. You may soon be pleasantly and joyfully surprised by some news or developments. Alternatively, you might start feeling reassured, less frightened and safe. This specially applies if you did not feel endangered or intimidated by the crowd in any way.

Police entering the house and offering to buy a gun (Archived)

Symbolically, seeing a policeman or policemen entering your house in a dream symbolizes soon witnessing clearly expressed physical strength or determination, either by you or by another member or your family. It could be as trivial as resisting a temptation or combating a bad habit, or something greater, like making a decision which could affect your life in a major way. The notion of being offered to buy a gun, however, could be indicative of some weakness or uncertainty which may currently prevent you or another person in your household to reach the full potential in these efforts or pursuits.

In a war with no weapon (Archived)

Dreaming about fighting in a war or being in a war zone suggests you have not been paying enough attention to your health recently. You may be ignoring some warning signs of a more serious illness or pushing yourself too hard when exercising or working. Finding yourself without a gun when you need it suggests having difficulty accomplishing your goals, letting down yourself and others who believe in you. This is most likely because you cannot meet the physical demands of your tasks. You may need to give your body and mind some time to recuperate before trying again. Investing in your health is the best way to protect your future.

Confrontation with a gang, shooting and dealing with police (Archived)

While this vision may be very alarming or upsetting, it is not entirely bad in terms of its interpretation. In general, being surrounded by strangers carrying guns can predict upcoming joys or blessings that come out of left field, meaning you did not expect they would happen to you anytime soon. However, this is placed near the image of being stabbed, which can indicate experiencing events which are likely to cause emotional instability, such as deep sadness, shame or guilt. Together, these signs may mean you are about to go through an emotional period full of ups and downs. This roller coaster of emotions is likely to leave you feeling drained and stressed when all is said and done.

Slashing a sword to kill someone (Archived)

Swinging a sword wildly in a dream vision with the intent of trying to kill someone is the manifestation of some deep, dark aspects of your personality. Usually, these parts are hidden from others and rarely surface, but there is likely to be an event outside your control in the near future which could cause this darkness to come out suddenly. This may be due to an emotional response, so your words and actions coming from this place inside you are probably completely uninhibited. This could scare those around you and cause some difficulties in your interpersonal relationships.

Pulling a gun out in a restaurant (Archived)

Seeing your boyfriend fighting with another man in this dream and pulling out a gun could represent your feelings that he is not dedicating enough time to deepening his relationship with you and your family. Waving a gun without firing it usually suggests a lack of focus on the important things in life, so you may be disappointed that your boyfriend spends more time on his friends, video games, cars, etc. and not on building your future together. You may need to talk to him seriously in order to convey the gravity of the situation.

Mother with a gun (Archived)

Envisioning a building full of people going about their business suggests you are currently looking forward to some upcoming social engagement or a trip to a place that embodies the idea of "hustle and bustle." This is followed, however, by the negative sign of your mother brandishing a gun in the midst of the crowd and subduing her. This vision represents some unexpected, completely random obstacle which could make it impossible for you to actually enjoy your day or the company you are with. In some cases, you could face a physical obstacle, like an inability to get tickets or a delayed flight, but it more likely refers to an emotional or mental impediment, such as accidentally running into someone you do not like or having an argument with your travel companion.

A military aircraft and gunfire (Archived)

War planes in dreams symbolically represent happiness and prosperity, so seeing a large military aircraft could predict achieving prosperity through aggressive action. This is followed by the sounds and imagery of gunfire, which is often thought to foretell the passing of a family member or loved one. These signs together show a mixed basket, signifying times of happiness accompanied by loss. Investigating the drop zone area at the end of the vision and being locked up could represent sadness trapped deep within you. You might feel that there is no reason to be unhappy with your life and so are unwilling to share those feelings with others. However, a good financial standing does not mitigate the loss felt when someone passes on. Therefore, it would be wise to let those feelings out, so that you can heal and move on.

An insane person looking for a gun (Archived)

Dreaming about a member of your immediate family going insane could actually be your mind projecting your fears and anxiety on another individual in order to analyze the situation rationally. Just as you cannot be objective when looking at yourself, so does the mind sometimes use dreams in order to look at circumstances from another, more rational point of view. Asking for a gun when in a poor mental state, then, could symbolize your ability to overcome the stress and depression you feel in wake life by taking charge of things by yourself. Watching your brother cry could signify the challenges that still await, but perseverance and patience should carry you through until they are overcome or resolved.

Being shot at while on the porch (Archived)

Dreaming about sitting on the porch of a house you do not recognize from waking life is a sign that you may soon have an unexpected encounter with someone who wants to be a part of your life. The intentions of this individual are unclear, but the presence of military personnel driving nearby could mean that you would perceive this individual as someone who could add positive value to your life. However, the machine gun being fired at you suggests tremendous anger is about to be directed your way. This would suggest that either this man or woman got close to you under false pretenses or that someone else in your life may be jealous of this newcomer's sudden presence in your life.

On an aircraft carrier and breathing under water (Archived)

Seeing an aircraft carrier in front of you is a sign of happiness and success. It is especially auspicious considering your missing the ship and falling into the water. Water surrounding you in a dream is often associated with opportunity. Together, these symbols signify that something that is making you happy now could lead to even greater things in the future, if pursued. Being able to breathe underwater may be the manifestation of some existing fears, suggesting that this could be an art or hobby which you do not think could be a viable path for you. The air that surrounds and protects you, however, serves as a reminder that anything is possible with creativity and a bit of elbow grease.

Shooting with no results (Archived)

Dreaming about firing a weapon could be the manifestation of impulsive or rash behavior that has had a recent negative effect on your lifestyle or interpersonal relations. This behavior could exhibit itself in multiple ways, such as carelessness or irresponsibility, leading to trouble as far as your existing duties and obligations are concerned. This tendency has likely been exacerbated by fatigue and exhaustion, suggesting that if you take some time to relax and go with the flow, you may be able to get back on track. The fact that the bullets in your vision had no impact on those in question probably means that your behavior is not likely to have any lasting effects on people around you if you are in full control of your actions and letting your anxieties take over is not the best way to follow.

Throwing a bomb into a Christmas crowd (Archived)

Throwing a bomb to a group of people in your dream alludes to a fit of rage. You may be harboring a growing frustration and anger towards the concept of family, celebration and tradition because of the dysfunctional state of your own family. Perhaps you feel like an outsider during celebrations, reunions and similar occasions. As such, when the aggrieved group, including your family, started their counterattack, it signifies karma doing its work. Maybe the isolation and alienation you experience are due in part to your behavior towards your loved ones. Sending off negative energy would bring the same kind of vibe to you.

Shootings and weapons in a dormitory (Archived)

Dreaming that you are caught in a shootout or a crossfire between two sides means you could experience a predicament in real life. On the one hand, the predicament could be a result of your own actions or decisions. Gunfire also represents aggression and anger, so you may find yourself caught in the middle of disagreements or conflict between close friends or loved ones. In that context, the machine gun may symbolize your dilemma. Perhaps being surrounded by a lot of anger and resentment makes it tempting to join the fray and release your own pent-up frustrations. All the negative emotions from your social circle may be inciting irrational urges and destructive ideas within you. On the other hand, guns are also seen as phallic symbols. Hence, the crossfire may represent romantic propositions from several admirers and the machine gun points to your decision-making process whether to reciprocate any of your suitors' affections.

Getting stabbed with a sword (Archived)

This dream could be a reflection of a deeper aspect of your personality, some kind of hidden desire that you harbor within yourself but are still scared of fulfilling. The notion that you would take such a traumatic event as being stabbed and turn it into an exotic experience means you may be thinking the things you want to do could be viewed negatively by others, but in a way that is precisely why you want to do to them. You could be the sort of a person who thrives by doing what is forbidden yet, as of now, have not had the courage to attempt to do so.

Being shot from the outside of the house (Archived)

Entering an unfamiliar house in your dream usually means that you may be becoming a hindrance by interfering in another person's way of life. Perhaps you have become too invested in this individual's life, offering up advice and opinions which may not be welcome or needed. Alternatively, the house may be a representation of your past and the memory of an infant or baby may have something to do with loss of innocence. Maybe you miss your younger, more carefree days and the people shooting and bombing the house represent the harsh realities of life which made you jaded, cynical or disillusioned.
