describe conflict or power struggles over choices.

To dream of an AK47 rifle represents decision-making cancelling
power that isn't afraid to waste "ammo" or get too personal
if required to never accept a problem again. Decision-making control
with cancelling power that can both deal with something individual
if it wants to or everything at once. Picking a problem off individually
if it needed or picking off all your problems at once. Having the
power to cancel problems as quickly as you can to while not being

Negatively, dreaming

you left if it doesn't want to. Feeling frustrated by problems you
want to get rid of that allow you to take your time if you want to.
Feeling fearless with problems that may require you to exhaust resources
if you focus too hard cancelling them out at once when you don't need
to.
Example: A man
dreamed of a woman in army clothing forcefully handing him an AK47,
but he refused. In waking life he was frustrated about finances while
also having relationship frustrations. The AK47 in this case may have
reflected his feeling about the seriousness of his relationship frustrations
motivating him to fearlessly deal with debt or bills as intelligently

doing so.

a negative thinking pattern that is protected by your inability

Example: A man
dreamed of chasing someone in armor who he wanted to kill. In waking
life he was in therapy and having difficulty coming to terms with
his ego by thinking that he was smarter than other people. The person
who wanted to kill that was wearing armor reflected how difficult
it was for him to overcome his own ego.
Example 2: A man
dreamed of wearing gold armor. In waking life he believed that he
was in the middle of a spiritual war with demons that required him
