I believe the answer is:

armed

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

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

'dream about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'dream' is an anagram of 'ARMED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for armed that I've seen before include "Carrying a weapon" , "Like Mars" , "ready to fight" , "ready for exchange?" , "Prepared and equipped for a confrontation" .)
