One of the theories out there is that the gun represents a penis or male sexuality. More generally, it can represent fears or anxieties - threats in general.
Weapons in general can represent conflict, anger or resentment in life. It's interesting all the weapons that have shown up in my dreams are phallic in nature, though: wooden stakes, guns, knives. I wonder if women have dreams of different kinds of weapons.
Many of my dreams involve me being shot at, or other people being shot or shot at. According to my dream books, this can represent fear of being hurt or being threatened.
I don't recall ever having shot a person in my dreams - most often both the shooter and the person being shot / shot at are not me. I'm not really sure what it means that I'm removed from the action.
[Update: I polled some people to find out what weapons have shown up in their dreams. I'll keep adding as I hear more:]
- babies in canons [male dreamer, used against others]
- giant chopsticks [male dreamer, used against others]
- used iPhones [male dreamer, used against dreamer (thrown)]
