A couple of weeks ago I had a dream that I was being chased by a man. He shot me in the head. The dream ended after that. The weird thing was that I wasn’t afraid or anything. Does anybody know what this might mean?
it means you have a brain tumor and you are dying but you arnt afraid because you don’t know you have a tumor…jk.
That’s cool. what was it like getting shot in the head? did it hurt?
Surprisingly it didn’t hurt. I heard a loud band and I was on the ground with my eyes closed. It felt like there was blood in my nose and throat so I couldn’t breathe. Then I started coughing. I didn’t die in the dream (can you die in dreams?) Next I woke up. Thats it.
I’m not sure if it has a meaning, but it seems common for some people.
Is this a recurring dream? or a recurring dream theme?
It was a dream, as such you weren’t thinking logically. The dream version of you wasn’t scared for some reason. I don’t honestly think thre’s much of a reason other than that (people are ‘killed’ in their dreams all the time)
Thanks you guys! The dream is not recurring. That is the first time I have had that dream (That I know of) I cannot recall a dreamtheme like that.
i experienced a dream like that a long time ago (when I was 9 maybe?) anyway it was my next door neighbor, which was weird because she’s a really nice lady. but she shot me and i woke up immediately with a throbbing pain in my head. it wasn’t a tumor or anything lol but it might have been a headache that got so painful it woke me up… i don’t really remember much of what happened since it was so long ago
I have never been shot in a dream. I have had guns pulled on me. And I have been stabbed in quite a few dreams. But never actually shot.
I don’t know if it would have a meaning or not. My guess is it was just a thought that your brain came across.
I have been shot in my head and body in some dreams over the years.
But i dont think much of it…didnt hurt. Also my dreams didnt end from it,
they just went on, i refused to believe i was dead so my dreams went on. Was not lucid though.
who was chasing you?..since the dream hasnt ocurred again you probably dont care anymore…but being shot in a dream isnt a bad thing. Could be that you want a part of you to change …maybe subconciously your telling yourself something that you want to end or to change. The part of the body that was shot could have something to do with what it is…but again since its not recurring it might not matter , just something to consider.

i’ve had a very similar experience where i was shot in the stomach… very realistic. i tasted blood and everything, pretty scary
Hey MrSocks,
I was shot in the shoulder (in a dream) one night. I was in front of the school and some guy I had a fight with shot me. It didn’t hurt either. I went in the school to get a bandage, smiling and everything.

i had a dream once where i was shot in the head after being chased for a long time. i specifically remember waking up right after the shots passed through my skull, i actually felt them. when i woke up i was sure i had died and could feel the hole in my skull. for about 5 minutes as i lay there untill i put my hand to my face and realised it was a dream. pretty intense.
I once had a very vivid dream I clearly remember today about a chinese fighter pilot crashing in my neighborhood during some immense war. He chased me through an apartment building up stairs until we were on the roof. But I threw him off the roof and stole his plane.
I ended up crashing the same plane near a POW camp for Americans, I had fancy for using their own machine against them but didn’t work out for me. I ended up inside this…maybe 100 by 100 feet square. The corners were some sort of lightning rod and travelling between them was this blue crackling laser deal.
I had a wrist bracelet put on that I couldn’t take off and I assumed if I tried to take it off or attempted to step over the fence i’d die. So I just sat near the edge of my cage away from a small group of other POW’s who were huddled near the center…maybe 5 or 6 of them.
Anyway, I sat and watched as this guy who was dressed in general’s uniform or some such thing had a picnic with what I assumed as his family not far from the caged in area. He saw me watching them and got somewhat annoyed and told me to look away.
I just kept on looking focusing on his young daughter, maybe 6 years old and watched her watch me and how she would smile at everyone the same, including the prisoners. I wouldn’t move my gaze so the general came over to me and put a pistol to my head and shot me right then and there.
It didn’t hurt at all and I remember being very calm somewhat aware of the fact I was going to die. I remember a kind of wispy kind of erratic but small amount of movment, bet felt very very large. It felt like I was moving latteraly in some way I hadn’t understood before and everything was dark.
One of the coolest most vivid dreams I ever had. Was not a LD.
I had two similar experiances.
I was in WW2, and we were trying to flee from a tank. After hopping stone walls, and running through feilds, I decided I’d lay my head down infront of the tank, and die. I did, and died. I ended up floating around after that (I became lucid) and drifted over some peaceful lake, and woke up.
Another experiance I was trying to climb out of water (I was some sort of special-op) and needed to get off a cliff, and couldnt. I ended up drowning.
Neither hurt (not suprisingly, as they were dreams). I only became lucid in the one, and believe it or not…it was interesting, and not scary at all. I wouldn’t mine dying again.
Hi everyone, i had a dream about being shot in the head, i didn’t see a gun or anything or anyone shotting at me, i just felt this thing go into me head and as i felt the top of my head i felt a big whole there with blood, i pulled the bullet out of my head and was left with a whole in my skull. then i woke up.
Can anyone tell me what this might mean?
Once i had this horribel dream. where i acidently killed a innocent man… and then i shoot me in the head… Really scarry… Almost started to cry when i woke up.
Dreams are personal and it is difficult if not impossible for someone else to tell you what a dream means. Also some dreams are just random … something you saw or read recently is added to your dream experience.
Bare with me here, I haven’t read this entire thread since its long.
Getting killed in your dreams mean A part of you has died off in your life. Have you just gone through a major change of some sort? It can be anything, a job, a boyfriend, a family member.
For example, when I was in highschool, I used to dream of my boyfriends dying as I got over them after we broke up. Dreaming of yourself dying, usually means its something personal. Have you given up smoking? Have you changed something about your personality?
On the flip side, I had a past life dream about getting shot in the chest. BUT I had pain and the whole nine yards of dying. And thats, of course, only if you believe in past lives. Generally if you don’t feel any pain, it would not be a past life dream.

I agree with you almost completely. Dreams are very personal and can have very broad meanings. You usually cannot interpret a dream without knowing something about their life. Thats why you have to keep the interpretation broad and give examples. I’ve had a few really successful dream interpretations on another message board that helped people understand why they dreamt something. Its especially helpful when someone dreams of someone dying and believes its really going to happen. Which, unless your a super dreaming prophet, is not always meant litterally in dreams.
I also agree that some dreams are random or influenced by your tv or radio left on while sleeping. For instance, when a person who is dieting dreams of eating, thats a no brainer. Or when a person who is horny dreams of sex. DUH! lol.
But the thing I disagree with you on, is that not ALL dreams are meaningless. Our subconscious has a certain way of communicating with us while we are sleeping. Dreams can mean a wonderful many things and actually help people with their daily lives. Its also great therapy to write them down and mull through them. Some people have a need to understand things beyond their own comprehension.
Light and Love,
Sarah
