If you see a pistol in your dream, it generally signals a period of unfavorable circumstances ahead. Owning one in a dream suggests you may be cultivating habits or associations of a morally questionable nature. Hearing a gunshot without seeing the source implies that you will soon uncover a plot or scheme aimed at undermining your position or interests. If you dream of firing a pistol, it may reflect misplaced resentment toward someone who has done nothing wrong — and a willingness to act on that resentment in ways you may later regret.
