Interpretation 3 — Stephen Girard

To dream you are out shooting is very favorable if you kill much game; to the lover, it shows a mistress kind and goodhumored, who will make him an excellent and notable wife; to the tradesman and farmer, success and riches; to the sailor, wealth acquired in a distant country; but if you dream ycu kill little or no game, then it presages bad luck, and disappointment in love. To dream you are shooting with a bow and arrows, is a very favorable dream, particularly to lovers and tradesmen.

Interpretation 4 — Klaus Vollmar

Murder. Something is being killed (violently): a relationship, an emotion, an unused talent, or any number of things. On the other hand, just as often, it may mean a courageous act of liberation that is freeing emotional energies.

A frequent dream symbol to have at the end of a depressive phase, because now, after being liberated, you can search for a new beginning. Such dreams always set in motion something symbolic and by no means refer to the real danger of death.
