Shot

To dream that you are shot, and are feeling the sensations of dying, denotes that you are to meet unexpected abuse from the ill feelings of friends, but if you escape death by waking, you will be fully reconciled with them later on.

It may also represent a form of self-punishment that you may be unconsciously imposing on yourself. You may have done something that you are ashamed of or are not proud of.

If you are shot and come back as a different person, then it indicates that you to start fresh. You want to wipe the past away and literally become a new person.

To dream that a preacher shoots you, signifies that you will be annoyed by a friend's views that are condemnatory to your own.
