A Terrifying Encounter: The Symbolism of a Dream about a Violent Office Confrontation
At office alone, with customer of husband and wife, another man there I recognizes them all. All were in the cage, gloomy day out, inside office not actual cage. Married couple arguing with 2nd man, they leave, he gets mad and starts to come behind my Dad's desk I pull panic button and say I'll press it if he doesn't get away, I press it as he proceeds at me mad, still won't listen and has snapped so I pull gun and point it at him, threatening to shoot, he still proceeds then pulls a gun on me, shoots me in left side, I shoot back twice but miss and fall to ground, I hear sirens of cops, I start to fade out and feel the pain and I woke up. I physically felt a pain too when waking up

This dream may represent feelings of powerlessness and fear in your waking life. The office setting symbolizes your professional life and the presence of the married couple and another man may represent conflicts or power struggles within your workplace. The cage may symbolize feeling trapped or confined in your job. The gloomy day outside could represent a sense of foreboding or negativity in your current work environment. The argument between the married couple and the second man may reflect tensions or disagreements between colleagues or superiors. Your father’s desk may symbolize authority or control, and the panic button may represent a desire for protection or a need to assert yourself. The gun and the threat of violence may represent a need to defend yourself or stand up for yourself in a difficult situation. The pain you felt upon waking may reflect the emotional toll of these conflicts in your waking life.
