When you dream of someone getting shot, it may cause you to worry. It is almost as frightening as experiencing it in real life.
Actually, these are common dreams, and the meaning of such dreams usually depends on the person dreaming and what was going on in the dream. It also depends on your state of mind and different aspects of your life at the time of the dream.
What Does It Mean To Dream About Someone Getting Shot?
Dreaming about someone getting shot means you not only need to have patience, but you also need to stop thinking about what others have to say about you. It would be best if you started thinking and caring about yourself.
There is a feeling of loneliness and emptiness that you constantly feel, this often leaves you looking for a sense of belonging, and you are yet to find it.
You have dependency issues, wish to be cared for, and for others to see your fun side, and it gives you anxiety. This is a sign that you should relax.
One of your weaknesses is that you are having a hard time focusing on the future and the present because of something that happened in the past. You need to pause and work on this, giving adequate attention to your present as you work towards your future.
It could also signify your lack of discipline. Remember that discipline is essential in your life, while you don’t necessarily need to have control over everything.
Dreams like these are a hint of going through a mental challenge. You are suppressing many negative emotions, and instead of letting them out in a healthy way, you keep hiding them. This is making you detached from those around you.
It would be best to work on these emotions as soon as possible, so it doesn’t leave you burdened and feeling suffocated.
You fear facing reality; while this reality is harsh and challenging to deal with, you must face it. It also means that you are in a situation, more likely an emotional one, and you wish to get out of it, but it is challenging.
This problematic situation is a significant obstacle, and it is preventing you from moving ahead. It is a warning to learn to follow your intuition and take the initiative to make decisions that will bring significant changes.
Stop going with the flow and following the crowd; it is time to take matters into your hands.

Dreamchrist.com also gives a list of scenarios in which you can witness people getting shot and their meaning.
Which Part Of Someone Was Shot In Your Dream?
Dream Of Someone Getting Shot In The Stomach
This type of dream means that you will be at the receiving end of physical or verbal abuse very soon. You will suffer this abuse either at the hands of a stranger or an acquaintance.
Dream of Someone Getting Shot In The Back
Someone being attacked from behind is an obvious sign of betrayal, and this dream is no different. Someone might be angry with you, even vindictive towards you, and cannot confront you directly, so they may resort to getting you by backstabbing you.
This person can be your friend, colleague, or family member. If you think of someone you have offended, you should try to make up with them before it gets out of hand.
Who Was Shot In Your Dream?
1. A Stranger
If you dream of this scenario, you have to be cautious of those around you. Some people you hold dear to you and believe are your friends are plotting your downfall.
They wish to harm you, and so you should be careful. They could be anyone, even from your workplace.
They might be jealous, or it could be for another reason, but whichever it is, you should try to be modest in everything you do, be alert, and improve your communication skills.
2. Your Partner
You are going through an emotional turmoil in your relationship; you are either feeling distant from your partner, or you think it’s the other way round, and your partner doesn’t love you as much as before.
It could also be that they have hurt you somehow and broken your trust, maybe by being unfaithful. Your relationship is on the verge of breaking, and you need to talk it out if you feel it is worth it.
If you feel like you are past the point of talking, this dream could be your subconscious mind preparing you for them being out of your life for good.
3. A Friend
This dream involves love and trust, like dreaming about your partner getting shot. There is negative energy and tension between yourself and a friend, probably from misunderstandings.
They have done something that hurt you so badly, and you are unable to either trust or forgive them. If this friendship is valuable to you, you should try to eliminate this tension and work on your friendship. Remember that forgiveness is a vital key in friendship.
What Does It Mean To Dream Of Being Shot?
In your dream about the shooting, it is possible that you could be the one getting shot and not someone else. Being shot in your waking life can be fatal, so you should also be cautious when you dream of this incident occurring.
Dreaming of getting shot could mean different things depending on who shot you, where you were shot and what happened after. Here are a few scenarios of you getting shot you could dream about and their meanings.
1. Dream About Being Robbed Before Being Shot
When you dream of something in this scenario, it means you feel hopeless and defeated. If you comply and willingly give up all of your belongings in the dream, but the robbers still shoot you, then it means that someone is angry with you for a ridiculous reason.
If you fight back before getting shot, it is a sign that you are ready to stand up and fight for yourself, no matter the consequences.
However, if you fight over an insignificant thing with no value, then it means that you are holding on to something of meager value, something of no importance. That is holding you back and stunting your growth.
2. Dream About Successfully Dodging A Bullet
If you successfully avoid getting shot by dodging the bullet in the dream, it means that you are capable of escaping any sufferable circumstance and painful situation in reality.
It could also mean that you are going through something called survivor’s guilt. In this case, you probably feel guilty because someone close to you is suffering through something, and even though you should be in that position with them, you somehow are not.
3. Dream About Where You Died After Getting Shot
If, after getting shot, you don’t get up immediately; instead, you dream about yourself dead, then it is a really good sign. It is telling you that you will get to complete all of your projects and tasks on time and without any hitch. You are about to experience some positive changes in your life.
Final Words
Dreaming about someone getting shot or about you getting shot does not mean that it will happen in real life, but it is something to be cautious about. Getting shot in the dream is not always bad news; it could also be a good omen.
If you feel your dream has a negative meaning, you need to take action quickly to prevent any damage.

I dreamt I witnessed 2 men sitting in the front seat of a car when suddenly someone else out of my vision shot them both simultaneously together in their heads and hearts, instantly killing both at the same time. I woke up in horror.
I have to agree with Angela's comment that the interpretation on this webpage for what a dream of someone being shot means, for me, is on point, exactly what I'm going through and experiencing in my life right now. It's uncannily accurate. I recommend people reading this if they have a similar dream.

I dreamed I was waiting in a fastfood line and saw a asian guy getting shot in the leg by some unindentified guy in a motorbyke, the same shooter came back walking to finish the job but was followed and shot dead by someone who saw it... Confusing since technically I dreamed of someone being saved and I am not american.

I do not remember my dreams alot of the times but this one woke me up and startled me...someone had been shot. The analysis of my dream on this site was spot-on as to how I am feeling; emotionally, physically, socially and spirituality; and I hope to follow the advice given here as it makes total sense.
