If it were my dream. I would say these things about it.
Anticipation of a certain individuals arrival would mean that I've identified the target. I've decided who to blame and I'm sure enough to grab a gun for retribution against that person.
Shooting into the dark and having myself fall from a gunshot would represent my knowledge of the fact that if I had lashed out, against that person. It probably in the end would hurt me more regardless of what transpired.
Having my mother drop from the gunshot would clearly represent collateral damage. Those involved with any event that can be classified as horrific or traumatic are ALL victims. Even the person that may be entirely at fault is a victim, because even if they don't realize it a part of their humanity dies with the choice that caused that event.
I would say that your sub-conscious is bringing forth the battlefield in which you'll confront your past. Do not fear this, in fact, agitate your subconscious with the help of your therapist. Continually delve into it and you'll find the understanding you long for. It'll be hell at times, but even the smallest moment of peace will be worth your effort.
Eventually, you'll be able to look back on it. And it will seem so very far away.
Take care Daisym
