Personal symbolism
A shotgun is forceful and difficult to ignore, and the dream gives its presence and use distinct meanings. Simply dreaming of one brings attention to household tension and worry involving children or servants. Firing both barrels intensifies the image into a response to repeated, insensitive treatment across private and public settings. Consider whether you have been keeping up a pleasant manner while feeling stretched, and what the dream's anger or worry reflects in your daily interactions.
