For its more general meaning: Dream about getting shot
In my dream I was in two situations where I was trying to get away from guys that seem as if they were gang-affiliated and in the first situation I was running away and I got shot in the my lower back close to my buttocks. I didn’t notice I got shot until I felt the pain and put my hand behind me and saw blood. Then in the second situation I was in a car with a friend and we saw these same guys pointing their gun at the car right next to us, I got out of the car to run and hide.

Someone fell off the roof and two cops were a short distance from the house and I walked up to talk to them when I noticed blood on the male officer’s hand and somehow knew he was the murderer and when I tried to run he killed other cops and people who had gathered at the scene of the crime. I saw him catching up and was deciding to either run up the short staircase into the house or the brush away from the house when I decided to go into the house he shot me in the lower back.
