Discover the dream symbol interpretation and spiritual meaning

Western/Modern

Arrows in dreams bring our attention to our energy directed towards a particular goal in life. Being shot with an arrow is a symbol of aggression directed toward you. If you have a bow and arrow it represents your movements and what you are setting for yourself.

Hindu

Moving toward a goal

Biblical

Lies and deceit, Jer. 9:8. A poison arrow is symbolic of grief, Job 6:2-4

Jungian

Dreaming of shooting arrows is usually a way of focusing on your goals or identifying what you are trying to achieve. Interestingly enough, just like the mythical cupid, f you are struck by an arrow, the dream is opening you to intimacy. Anything that penetrates the skin to reveal blood, is symbolizing how feelings come to the surface. If you shoot an arrow and miss the mark, you may not be aiming in the right direction. The dream can be suggesting a necessary shift in focus that will allow you to succeed. See also Bow.
