I had this weird dream last Thurs., and it's been rattling around in my head since then because it was so realistic and there were some lessons I learned.
Ok, here goes....
Soooo I'm at a Chinese restaurant with an all you can eat buffet. I'm going back for the third helping. I don't know why it's the third helping because that's where the dream starts and I don't remember eating the first two. And as I'm shoveling the food on my plate at the buffet, from across the room I hear and see that an elderly Chinese lady had started yelling at some kid (her grandkid whatever) because he was wearing gloves. I looked at the kid (probably about 13-14) and he's wearing those clear plastic gloves....I don't get it.....
....anyways.... I come back to my table and notice some guy is standing there eating candies like M&M's or something off of one of my dirty plates. I yell at him, "WTH are you doing?" And he just walks away without even looking at me. It was double weird though because I don't even like candy. So I turn my attention to the food, but before I've seated I hear, "Drop the gun" - (and then something untintelligable like "this is a robbery", but I'm not sure what it was actually). My heart kind of skipped a beat and I knew I wasn't printing. It came from behind and my head snapped around. There's an Asian dude standing in between the two side by side entrance doors and he had what looked like a S&W model 10 in his right hand with his arm relaxed and the gun pointed towards the ceiling. He was looking back out through the doorways and at about 4 older ladies who were entering the restaurant, but they had no clue anything was going on and they were gabbing with each other. He just stood there and then continued looking out the door as they came in.
The Asian guy had not even looked at me once that I could tell and as I was facing him I moved to my right and I ducked behind the wall that was running towards me so I was out of view. As I was doing that I rifled into my pocket and got my .32 out after a couple seconds of fumbling. (My pocket holster is a little too big for my .32) I looked around for a second and didn't notice any accomplices in the restaurant and everyone was quiet, some eating, others wondering *** is going on. I then pointed the gun around the corner sideways (ghetto style, but with my head sideways as well using the sights) and noticed the guy was STILL looking out the doorways. So something about his demeanor caused me to hesitate and I ducked back around the corner. And that's where the dream ended. Arg!
A few things I realized from the dream are:
Now thinking back I don't know if it was an attempted robbery or something else going on....I guess I'll never know unless I have deja vu someday
The Asian guy had basically appeared out of nowhere behind me, because I was too busy being angry and preoccupied thinking and worrying about some idiot which had the temporary effect of putting me in condition white. I guess if anyone wants to surprise me, create a diversion, it worked in the dream.
I also realized once again that I need to get a pocket holster than fits the gun and once AGAIN realized that pocket carry is convenient, but sucks when the S really HTF. Sometimes I even carry that way unchambered, but in my dream my gun was chambered.
I also realized that I had almost zero faith in the .32ACP round and I was even thinking to myself in the dream, "I sure wish I had that Kahr MK9 Elite 2003 with some 124gr. NATO FMJ or 127gr. +P+ Rangers!!!!, instead of this .32ACP Autauga with 60gr. Winchester Silvertips!!!! :banghead: "
Who says you never learn anything from dreams, eh?
Any suggestions from anybody? Anything I did wrong? What did I do right?
