Gun Dream Interpretation

I've has a weird gun dream. I was out somewhere in the desert at a kind of informal range, shooting with a hi-point carbine. which is weird because I have never lived near a desert, and don't own a hi-point carbine. A black Cadillac pulled up and parked next to my car, around 50 yards away. Two hispanic men got out, wearing suits and dark sunglasses. The driver had a large .44 revolver in a shoulder holster, the passenger drew a stainless steel .380 pistol from a belt holster as he got out of the car. It wasn't a pocket pistol, it was a larger double stack pistol. When I saw him pull out the pistol I turned as ran back to duck behind a low cinderblock wall and get my carbine, which I had left on a folding card table. While I was turning he fired a few shots, maybe five. One round hit me on my lower right torso, near my kidney. It stung a lot when it hit me, and continued to sting while I made it behind the wall and got my rifle. I ducked out around the side of the wall and fired two shots at the man with the .380, who fired 4 more shots as I came around the wall. I hit him with both shots and he went down. Then I turned and fired three shots at the man with the .44, hitting him twice as he was trying to draw his revolver from it's holster. At this point the cops and an ambulance showed up (I don't know who called them). They put me in the ambulance in a stretcher but the EMT said I would be fine.

That was one of the most vivid dreams I ever had. When I woke up my side was still hurting and I actually had to feel it to make sure I hadn't actually been shot.
 
Guys guys guys.........just remember to cock your gun before you need to pull the trigger.
 
I've never had the heavy trigger pull dream, but I have had the dream(s) where the gun is empty... I insert a loaded magazine and all of a sudden, I am too weak to rack the slide! It's an awful feeling - very similar to fight dreams where I try to punch and it's like my arms are in quicksand.
 
Does everyone who keep having these "gun" dreams keep a gun on the nightstand?!?!?! :what:

That's a bit scary.

Not half as scary as the people having blow-dryer dreams who keep a gun on the nightstand :neener:.
 
It means that you are very very concious to the application a gun has on the human body, more importantly a person.
You are careful in what you do with firearms, and the last thing you want to do is actually kill someone. The dream is telling you that you would think long and hard before taking life, whether its legal or not you seek to make the right choice by hesitating.


Just my two cents
 
wow, I have never had a dream like that, most of mine I am under fire in a war zone and I have a pistol that no matter how many rounds I put through it, I always have another magazine full of ammo ready.

I dunno what to tell you, maybe it's time to do some soul searching and try to figure out what is going on?
 
I had a dream last night that I needed to use my gun in self defense, and no matter how hard I pulled the trigger, it would not fire.

I have found that sometimes a dream will automatically stop you short of a certain action if it is not within the realm of your personal experience. The same thing you describe has happened to me.
 
That dreams have meaning is without scientific foundation. First a superstition of the ancients, and then a money-making scheme that have kept Freudian psychologists in the dough for a century; cheesy dream-interpretation books have an honored place on our book shelf next to the Astrology tomes.

Your brain paralyzes itself to movement when you sleep. Keeps you from beating yourself up when you have a dream that involves movement. Sometimes the fact that you can't move leaks into your dream. Doesn't mean anything more than that.

It simply means that you had not dreamed any ammunition.
Be warned however, the next dream will probably find you agonizing over which ammunition to use....and probably spending the entire dream asking internet forums what to use.

I'm no psychoanalyst, but the interpretation is easy.

1. You are a normal red blooded American .
2. You are tactically minded and concerned about safety.
3. You value human life and its preciousness and wish to protect it.
4. Occasionally we all feel anxiety over adequate protection of ourselves and our loved ones.
Conclusion and diagnosis: Normal dream.
Prescription: Buy more guns.

How much do you charge for an hour 40SW?????? You are great!!!!!!
 
I had some variation of that dream many times. That being said, I cannot remember it happening in the last year or so, which seems to coincided with me stepping up training. I wonder if there is a link.

Off topic, I used to have just amazing, action-packed dreams. :D They were quite entertaining, and I could remember them after waking. It has been quite a while since I have retained conscious memory of any “summer blockbuster” type dreams. I wonder why. I miss them.

Well, maybe sometimes, but I remember starting at about 13 getting dreams of completing certain actions that were nowhere near my realm of personal experience…
 
I'm sure its just like the dreams where no matter how hard I try to hit an attacker my punches have no effect and the ones where I try to catch a toddler running into traffic but the ground slides back under my feet like a treadmill and the ones where I try to call for help but have no voice, etc.

That is, normal nightmare.

I find it helpful after a nightmare to re-script the scenario. While semi-awake I think of how it was just before things started to go wrong and then I replay the event in my head. Since I'm in control I have the equipment I need to solve the problem and I play it out like a superhero -- saving the day and making all things right.

Then I can go back to sleep and not be bothered by it. :D

No coffee or caffeinated sodas after 3 in the afternoon and no chocolate after 7 or 8pm is also a good idea if nightmares are frequent. ;)
 
I believe it means that you may be subconsciously afraid that your "gun" may not go off when you are under stress.

After all, Freud thought that most dreams had a sexual basis.;)
 
The other night I dreamt that my little brother kept sweeping me with a loaded Taurus Judge while we eating dinner at Spago. I finally got fed up and took it from him, immediately North Korean Security tried to arrest me for possession of an illegal import. But I escaped to Angkor Wat and hid among the many alcoves. I then used the rocket-launcher that I took from my brother to blow a hole in a wall and escape to Ke'e beach. I sat down on a grass mat and drank a Mai Tai and then woke up.
 
I've had similar dreams. Mostly the gun shoots and the bullet slowly rolls out of the barrel and falls on the ground. I took it as the Lord telling me to carry a second.
 
It's a really common dream. I've had it.

Usually my gun dreams are that the one time I need it, I don't have it.

It's just an anxiety dream. I think it just means you're a little stressed.
 
You will have seven years of +P followed by seven years of squibs.

Now that's funny!

I used to have the dream where I'd need one and not have it, but since I started carrying, they went away. The vast majority of my gun dreams are gunfights and I do pretty well. The last one, I was attacked by 236 UN troops in an armored personnel carrier. I had loaded all my guns and all my magazines and put them on the floor next to the second story window and began shooting at them. When I ran out of ammo, I'd just pick up the next one and use it until it was empty and so on.

I ran out of targets before I ran out of ammo.

It was a good dream.
 
I had a dream once where I had an AK that I took from some assailant, but it didn't have a trigger so the only way to fire it was to shake it forward really hard so it would slamfire.
Doesn't really make any sense though.
Had another one that I fired the wrong ammo (.45ACP in a 9mm) and the gun's rails (which were made of wood) split.

I've also had several where I am in a GFZ and I realize I'm packing, and end up disassembling the piece.
