Wanted to share my experiences with you guys to see if you all have encountered something similar.
I only started becoming more interested in firearms for self/home-defense in the last year or so, but I've had these dreams long before that.
Pre-gun dreams went like this: For whatever reason I would end up in an altercation with a male figure that I couldn't recognize. The man was threatening me, and I kept trying to punch him, but for some reason my arms weren't long enough because I kept on swinging away but he was always out of reach. Then in one dream I finally connected with one of my punches, but there was no power behind the punch, it didn't even muss the guys hair. Then the dream ends with us still struggling against one another, and I still can't hit him.
Post-gun dreams go like this: I end up in a situation where I need to draw and fire my weapon, but for whatever reason I can't. There will be this same ambiguous man, attacking me, and I will be justified to draw and shoot him, but it never works. Once, I couldn't get the pistol out of my holster, no matter how hard I pulled on it. In one dream, he was coming after me with a baseball bat, and I kept looking through the cab of my truck but was unable to find the gun in time, then I realized it was in the door pocket, but the slide was apart from the frame. Then there's the dreaded dream where I have the pistol, draw it, and keep pulling the trigger, but to no avail, it wouldn't fire.
I can easily draw some parrallels between the pre and post-gun dreams, but I really have no idea what they mean.
Do you guys have any dreams like these, or would you all have any idea what they mean/represent?
