Dream Symbol: weapon or ammunition

weapon or ammunition

A wish for power.

A person having or wielding a weapon can represent an attempt to feel powerful, often due to feelings of powerlessness, fear, insecurity, etc.

Variations of meaning could include domination, aggression, masculinity, self-protection, or commanding respect when the gun wielder feels a lack of self-importance.

A weapon used with the intent to take advantage of others can represent ill will, disrespect, victimizing, or taking from others—physically, mentally, emotionally, or in terms of time or energy (such as your boss demanding you work extra hours without pay).

Tips to Understand Dream Meaning

Dream symbol meanings are different for each person. It's IMPORTANT to consider:

  • Personal meaning - What the dream symbol means to you, what it reminds you of, how it makes you feel.
  • Context - How the dream symbol appears in the dream. For example, in a dream about a bee - what was the bee doing, how and where it was doing it, and how did you feel about it?
  • Look beyond the obvious - A dream is often about something other than its obvious meaning. Physical events in the dream commonly represent mental or emotional matters.
