What does it mean to dream of weapons? Is it good or bad to dream of weapons? Dreams about weapons can have real-life implications and reactions, as well as the dreamer's subjective imagination. Let's look at the detailed explanation of dreaming about weapons, organized by the Zhougong Dream Interpretation website.
Dreaming of weapons can sometimes be symbolic.
Women dreaming of men holding weapons attacking them often represent men's sexual desire towards them. In the dream, when women see men charging at them with knives and guns, they often get scared and run away. However, in reality, these dreamers need men to treat them in a more proactive and aggressive manner. The real fear of the dreamer is her own desire: to be conquered by a man, to be sexually possessed by a man.
For men, dreaming of weapons sometimes also represents sexuality, especially when the 'enemy' in the dream is a female. But at other times, it represents attack, hostility, anger. In most cases, the victim and the attacker are both yourself, representing different parts of your psyche. Sometimes, weapons are used for self-defense against a terrifying enemy, which often indicates that your life is too stressful and anxious.

Psychological Dream Interpretation
Dream Interpretation: Dreams about weapons generally represent your desire to harm someone or something. You turn your aggression inward, so you dream of weapons to use against others, rather than manifesting your aggression in reality. The type of weapon can indicate the hidden real-life issues in your life. Dreaming of an arrow indicates being overwhelmed by strong emotions or being hurt by someone's words or actions. You should focus on your inner life to regain a sense of health. According to traditional dream interpretation, spears and handguns represent male sexuality. If a woman dreams of being shot, it often suggests her desire or fear of sexual aggression. If you shoot, it indicates that you might use male capabilities for self-defense. A knife represents the ability to cut into wounded areas and remove what torments you mentally. With a knife, you can 'cut away' the hypocrisy dominating a situation. A sword has different meanings. A sword hilt and blade forming a cross symbolize a powerful belief system. Additionally, a sword represents the spiritual power that makes you give up unnecessary material things. A sheathed sword symbolizes the self residing within the body.
Psychological Analysis: If the weapon is pointed at you, it means you should understand how much effort you have put into attacking those around you. You may be inciting those people against others. You might voluntarily become a victim in certain situations.
Spiritual Symbol: Different weapons can reflect different aspects of spiritual power. You should be careful in using this power.
