Cannon dream meaning is explained below using 16 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.
Interpretation 1 — Gustavus Hindman Miller
For a young woman to hear or see cannons, denotes she will be a soldier’s wife and will have to bid him godspeed as he marches in defense of her and honor.
The reader will have to interpret dreams of this character by the influences surrounding him, and by the experiences stored away in his subjective mind.
If you have thought about cannons a great deal and you dream of them when there is no war, they are most likely to warn you against struggle and probable defeat. Or if business is manipulated by yourself successful engagements after much worry and ill luck may ensue.

Interpretation 4 — Martha Clarke
If the dreamer is armed with a cannon, the dream may have two different interpretations. On one hand, she is sufficiently prepared to solve a particular problem. On the other hand, she wants to violently finish a situation she is unable to control.
If the barrel points toward the dreamer, it indicates excessive fear of a threat that cannot be avoided.
The oneiric meaning of the cannon is, of course, war, broken balances, and associations. Instead, to hear it is a sign of ruin.
