ReOccuring Dream....
I need to put this out there to some Gun guys, so bare with me...
Ive had this reoccurring dream that i find myself in a citation where i need to use my concealed weapon to protect myself. So i pull my Glock 40s&w in a defensive position, and start shooting at this attacker. The bullets arc through the air and bounce off the guy. Sometimes he's got a knife, sometime a gun, but all the time he totally ignores me and continues to kill/shoot other people in the public place. I continue to put round after round at him, but they are just such a weak round that the guy totally ignores it.
Sometimes i realize that i have my 9mm glock 17, and sometimes i realize i have my 45scp kimber ultra cdp II, but any of the semi auto pistol rounds just bounce off.
I remember one time i reached in my pocket and had 5 rounds for my wife's .357 just loose in my pocket, and though DAMN i wish i had the revolver, it would work!
But ive had this dream a dozen times and more so since the shootings in Omaha, and Denver, and i have never had the 357 on me.
i have started carrying the 357 when i carry just because if this!
Does anyone else ever have a serious doubt in their weapon at times? I never die in these dreams, just i never stop an attacker.

Superman...........quit playing with the drunks.
Sorry, just had to. [}:)][;)][:D][:D]
Never had any question about the caliber I carry, dreams or not.0 -
you know, when i look at the 45acp, or 40s&w in my dream, it just looks like this midget littel round..... but the 357 or 44 looks like a high powered rife round!
i guess its time to take the Glock out and humt some rabbits to remind me how powerfull the round really is!
im not a guy who is easily disturbed, im an EMT, and on the rescue team at my coal mine.......
but this is getting to me!0 -
I would say you are spending too much time on video games and too little living, but then again look how many posts I have. I think we both [:(]need a life! 0 -
nope, get a .45 and do head shots or talk to polite psyco[;)][:o)] 0 -
Dude, i dont play video games. I havent ever even owned a video game system. i mosly work, or hang out with my wife, and my 2 year old son. My wifes about to have another baby in a month..... 0 -
I have a similar dream.
In mine, I come under attack and I don't have my weapon on me or near me. I always reach for it... and it's never there.
I hate this dream as I ALWAYS have my weapon on me at ALL times.0 -
sometimes the dream is like that, but its more disturbing to try and engage a threat, and have trust in your weapon, and it just doesnt do what you want it ot.... 0 -

That explains it; you're just going through a short term protection anxiety brought on my recent tragic events. I also had dreams such as those before the birth of my kids.0 -
Wow.... that does open it up. i have one some thats a year and a half, and i AM pretty nervous about having another baby...
Funny how its in your face right there, but you cant see it.
i thank you for pointing that out.0 -
I had nearly the same dream a few times in the past, my sister-in-law is a psychologist and she says it's a result of fear or doubt about something happening in your life.
I think Mk19 nailed it, your probably stressing about the new baby.0 -
Instead of shooting back in the next dream, try changing the perps diaper.[:D] 0 -

HA!!!
the guy DOES ignore me almost as good as my 2 year old! LOL!0 -
A "citation"? You still driving one of those?[:D] I thought they all rusted away. 0 -
Its a subconscious fear of being inadequate, manifesting itself through dream. 0 -
You are obsessing on your abilities to use your firearms to protect yourself, and family.
It is coming out at night, in the form of dreams via the subconcious mind.
Verify your skills, by practicing, on a regular basis, and quit worrying about every "crime" that takes place, that you see on TV, and putting yourself into the position of the one that "saves" everyone.0 -
I never worry about my arms being powerful enough.
I worry about my skill.

Wahts funny is in most of the dreams, i dont even pull my weapon untill the threat is coming to me. When the guy is shooting up other parts of the place, i just stay cool, and be ready to protect myself and my family. no hero action, just family protection.
im understading it more now.. thanks guys!0 -
Maybe ill start carrying my ultralight 44mag. there aint much that can stop that beast.
Anyway it goes, im going to the range today to put some rounds out!0 -
This type of dream is common in the police field. I used to have similar ones and the guys I worked with had them as well. It's not something most of us talk about. It has to do with stress and your subconscious. I wouldn't be to concerned. 0 -
I wouldn't worry about having a firearm as much as I would about having a 2 year old and a newborn in the house.
Yikes!
Now that's scary....0 -
Thanks a lot guys! 0 -
Can't you see? This dream is about the black man's struggle against a white, anglo-saxon run society. 0 -
Start carrying a knife. 0 -
A standard anxiety dream. 0 -
Your first mistake is ascribing meaning to dreams. Why is having a dream any more meaningful than taking a piss? Because dreams have mental content and piss doesn't? How is that an argument?
Your second mistake is mislabeling this dream as a recurring one. It ain't; you have articulated as much.
There has never been a single iota of science proving dreams have any meaning whatsoever. Freud was a joke; get over it.0 -

[:D]That'll probably get his attention.0 -
you are subcosciously worried about coming up against a punk wearing body armor
two words: BOOM, headshot!0 -
Contact the VA. They'll set you up with an appointment to see a shrink. Might be just the ticket. Joe 0 -
