I believe the answer is:

unarmed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'not carrying a gun' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'a french dream about' is the wordplay.
'a french' becomes 'un' ('a' in French).
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'dream' is an anagram of 'armed'.
'un'+'armed'='UNARMED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for unarmed that I've seen before include "Lacking weapons" , "Lacking a weapon" , "Type of combat" , "Not carrying a weapon" , "Not bearing a weapon" .)
