You are extremely frustrated and angry with someone who does not want to tow the line. You wish the person or problem to disappear in a instant but you do not know how. The best option coming to mind would be to remove them. The shotgun with its immense power just needs to be pointed in the general direction of the target and the trigger pulled. No precision or perfect aim is required to hit your target. The shotgun appears in one's dream when you feel you want to remove yourself from a situation.

Your anger, wrath, exasperation, frustration, fear or paranoia of the person may be so much that you discharge both barrels at the person at the same time. Even knowing that one barrel is sufficient to kill, you still choose to shoot both barrels just to make sure.

You may feel that something or someone is threatening you and the end of your life is near, or someone is coming to murder you.

It is because the feel of a shotgun in your hands gives you more confidence than having rifle which needs precision and experience.

You may be suffering from deep anxiety because you have been falsely accused of something. You may be in a situation where you have lost your self-respect and the respect of others because of the accusations. The immense anguish is converted into a shotgun in your dreams with which you try to destroy your tormentor.
