An ominous dream if the arrow is directed towards the dreamer, or penetrate his body. Some person or persons are plotting against you (Artemidorus). An interpretation obviously derived from the significance of the arrow in warfare. Freudians regard this as a sex dream, probably tracing the symbolism to the arrows of Eros or Cupid.
