There are a lot of metaphors in our language about being shot, and dreams often communicate using such symbols. Here are some of the ways we get "shot" without dying:

1. Get a shot in the arm. This could be a literal vaccination, or it could be figurative in the form of encouragement.

2. Getting a shot of courage. Certainly if you get shot in a dream and are still alive, it could be a symbol of courage.

3. Someone shooting off their mouth at you. Their words might sting, but you survive.

Then there are other possible symbolic meanings here that are not directly related to the "getting shot" part. You could have a guilty conscience, and the dream is one of retaliation by someone you believe you might have wronged. Or you could simply be afraid of someone or a particular circumstance. If you belong to a marginalized group or live in a bad place, you might simply fear for your safety.

In your dreams, your mate represents some aspect of yourself. This particular dream suggests that you have received some insult or set back that is not as damaging to you as it might have been.

The dream is a metaphor representing some sort of attack the dreamer has encountered in real life. It is more likely to be something that has already happened, rather than something in the future, unless the subconscious mind is picking up signals that the conscious mind has overlooked. The dream suggests that the attack will not be "fatal." For example, this dream might indicate that a project at work is about to be criticized by a supervisor, but the dreamer will not lose employment as a result of the criticism.

The dream expresses your pain at being insulted or emotionally hurt. It follows the reality that relatively few gunshots are actually lethal.
