What are arrow dreams about?

It wasn’t a lucid dream but last night I had a really vivid dream where I had an arrow go through my chest. I didn’t exactly “hurt” but I do remember feeling panicked and stumbling as my body started to go numb. I kept getting weaker and weaker until I finally collapsed and kept gasping fit air. Slowly everything started to fade out and then I woke up. This has happened before when I had a nightmare of a wolf jumping onto my bed and tearing at my throat. Similar to my dream last night, it didn’t hurt but I felt a cold ooze as my body got weaker and weaker. Very curious as to whether or not anyone’s ever had a similar experience?
(P.S.- I’m new to the sub, happy to be here!!)

i had a dream i killed my pet cat who 6 years is 6 years old. i believe she was being aggressive in the dream and that’s why i killed her but as soon as i woke up i rushed out to make sure my cat was okay and when i saw her i just froze and it was so confusing. the dream felt so real. it was so brutal and me and my dad shot her with a bow and arrow like a hundred times but she was still alive. i remember my mom taunting me afterwards in the dream about how she was going to die soon and what i did etc. I also remember pacing around with my head in my hands crying in the dream. i keep tearing up at the thought of this maybe symbolizing something about to happen to her i don’t know i don’t want her to die can someone tell me if this means something .

I was flying or floating (in a controlled manner) above a crowd, and i was shooting individual people with a bow and arrow. Sometimes hitting my target and sometimes missing. The crowd of people were all looking at me and they all had disgruntled looks on their faces.

To shoot arrow from above, i take as maybe directing spirituality on to some kind of target. I’m quite asocial and i like to keep for myself so a being in the presence of a crowd makes me think that this is a compensatory dream. Still don’t understand what it means. Thoughts?

19 M I am a freshmen at college, and I just had this dream/nightmare and its been bothering me all day because it physically hurts kind of.

My dream started out at either a middle school or elementary school, and I was young in my dream. We were out in the field and we were playing some game, it was like red over except everyone had bows and arrows, like real arrows. My dad was the coach and when we started the game everyone aimed at me even the people on my team and shot me with arrows. but all of the arrows only hit my left leg and it didn't hurt but I couldn't walk right. My dad got me in a car to rush to a hospital except he dumped me out of the car and I had to walk to a hospital. This town or city wasn't one I knew but I could distinctively remember three hospitals and so I walked to the closest one but as I got closer it just disappeared. Then some random guy picked me up in his car and we went to the next hospital but when we got there it was gone as well replaced with a huge parking lot. The guy kicked me out of his car again and I walked to the third hospital and as I was walking there all the kids who shot me with the arrows were mocking me about how disgusting my leg looked. When I looked down to see my leg it was rotting and flesh falling off my bones like a zombie it was gross, so I started rushing to the third hospital only for it to not being there either. That's when I woke up and all day I've been having trouble walking my leg feels stiff and it makes my heart pump like crazy whenever I remember the dream of all the arrows in my leg.

I honestly cant think of what this means I feel traumatized from my own dream.

i still remember this dream of mine from several months ago. it was, for me, a strange dream because i was in a different body. i was a... man, i think, & as far as i could remember, i was being chased down by a few men, fuming mad men, with guns in their hands and one with arrows and a bow, as if i had done a terrible business to them. i was running through the woods as i heard their multiple shots. i found myself trying to dodge their bullets, always turning my head to them to know if they were already near me, but got shot with an arrows straight in my right eye (or was it near my right eye) instead. until i reached (i suppose) the dead-end, clutching my bloodied face. i found out i was, or rather we were, standing on a cliff above the ocean, and felt like there was no way to escape that moment... alive. and so, i turned to those men again, only to find that they were raising their guns on me, and that was the end of it.

funny thing is that, i am a woman and i have this certain mole near my right eye (where i also felt a little sensation of pain after i woke up) + i'm (very) afraid of the ocean. what do you think my dream could mean? was it entirely a metaphor, or just random, or could be my past life?
