SHE CAN TOUGH IT OUT
In a dream that recurs, I am being shot at. In the last dream, I was
shot at least four times, but I survived. My best friend told me he
dreamed he had to come and identify my body. This dream is affecting the
people around me. Please let me know what it means.

Analysis: Dreams of being shot reveal the need for
self-punishment and simultaneously express a sense of violation and/or
intrusion: Someone was allowed to get under your skin in a bad way. Yet
these dreams also affirm inner strength: You are Superwoman, stronger
than any bullet or adversary, impervious to external demands. What is
expressed is the need to meet challenges head on. In another view, these
dreams have a sexual component: The phallic gun fulfills the wish for
penetration.
SHE NEEDS TO BACK OUT
I dreamed I was in my car, quickly backing out of the driveway of my
house. I didn’t pause at the top of the driveway to see if there were
any cars on the road. I just pulled out onto the road and put the car in
drive to go forward. I saw I had cut off one of my neighbors who was
driving on the road (no one I know in real life). I looked at her, waved
apologetically, saw she was a little annoyed and then went driving on
my way. What does this mean?

Analysis: Whereas backing out of a driveway often
reveals the desire to back out of something in life, to retreat from
your original standing, backing up signifies the wish to reverse or redo
an action in the past. You don’t mind cutting someone off in the
process; all that matters is your drive: You will not be slowed down in
your quest to move forward. Carelessness warns against impulsive
behavior and lack of consideration for others.
