An interpretation of machine gun dreams

An interpretation of machine gun dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Guns have a variety of possibilities for symbolism related to defensiveness, anger, and destructiveness. A machine gun can be thought of as gun symbolism on steroids, expressing a higher level of defensiveness, anger, or destructiveness. For example, in a dream a guy hides behind a metal garage door as his girlfriend on the other side sprays bullets through it with a machine gun, symbolizing a heated dispute with his girlfriend the previous day. She made multiple angry accusations against him, from which he tried to defend himself, symbolized by the metal garage door. The bullets fired through it symbolize that some of the accusations “hit home,” and her method was to keep firing till she hit her mark. Machine guns are prevalent in the media, and if you watch something during the day featuring machine guns, the imagery might be replayed in your dreams. The difference between meaningful symbolism involving a machine gun and just replaying imagery seen during the day is found in your response to the presence of a machine gun and the context of it in a dream. A machine gun that symbolizes something you fear or dread will evoke those feelings in you. On the other hand, if a machine gun symbolizes a rapid-fire way of talking, you aren’t likely to react with fear. For example, you dream about machine guns firing on the beaches of Normandy during D-Day. The previous day you watched a documentary about the event, and the imagery in your dreams is similar. Your mild reaction to the imagery is a big clue that your brain is just coughing up memories. On the other hand, you may dream from the perspective of a soldier dodging bullets, feeling terror or courage or other emotions. Such a dream is more likely to be meaningful. Dreams create scenarios to test you and help your growth, so a machine gun in a dream might be part of a test of your courage or resourcefulness. Or, if you’re a student of history, the same imagery could be a way of putting you into the scene to truly understand what the soldiers went through that day. It’s a dream theme common to students wanting to know a subject from the inside out. See the example dream at the end of the entry for Serial Killer.
