A gun in a dream represents power, fear and the capacity to cause or receive harm, often emotionally rather than literally. Holding a gun can reflect a need to feel in control or to defend yourself. Being aimed at points to a sense of threat or intimidation. A gun that will not fire suggests feeling powerless to act. This dream asks you to examine where you feel threatened or threatening in your life, and to consider whether the power you seek to feel safe is actually creating more distance and fear.
