This sounds funny, but I grew away from those dreams and started with the zombie dreams. Those pesky zombies are hard to take down! LOL
It's been awhile but had a crazy one last night...
I was out someplace in Ohio with my little bro. Have no idea where we were because the location didn't look familiar but somehow I knew we were in Ohio. As my brother and I were loading up a car and getting ready to leave these two guys walked by. They were laughing and made a smart comment at us. My bro laughed and said haha real funny guys. That’s all it took to set them off. As I turned to see what was going on one of the guys already had a gun out and pointed right at me. I took a quick glance at the other guy and saw that he was unarmed and was not a threat to my bro so my attention went back to the one screaming at me. He was fishing for something in his pocket and had to look down. I decided this may be my only chance to get out of this situation. So I drew and side stepped. As I drew my gun I disengaged the thumb safety and the click caused the BG to look up just about the same time I leveled my front sight. I got the first shot off as I started heading for cover behind the car. The BG was also retreating back but still had the gun pointed at me but had not fired. So I kept firing but the BG just kept running around pointing the gun at me. I went through my entire mag and as I went for my spare. All I was thinking was I see my front sight and it's on him how come he has not gone down. I engaged again with a fresh mag each shot I would see my front site line up center mass but still no reaction from the BG. I started getting pissed and wonder how I could be missing him. I ran that mag dry also and the BG was still dancing around. My bro and I at that point just tackled the guy. After we took him down I asked are you shot and the BG just replied No. Then I woke up still pissed and confused how I could have missed every shot.
Hmmmm maybe that's a sign I need to practice more..........
I find it interesting to learn of the dreams of others, particularly pertaining to SD situations.
I bet one could spend hours (and bunches of $$) psychoanalyzing all these variables and factors.
KimberPB, while I'm always in favor of training, training and more training - I bet all those "misses" in your dream come from something other than a lack of training. I'm not Dr. Freud, but I'd guess the "angst" generated by such a dream is a subconscious way to reinforce the training and tactics you've already got stored away in your brain.
Meaning, if in a dream you're causing yourself to bear down and focus harder on harder on what it is you've been trained to do (because of perceived failure in dreamland) than the next time you're training (or God forbid, in a real-world BG encounter), all that mental focusing in dreamland will better enable you to perform better in real time. And it'll probably feel a lot like super-slow-motion too because of all the mental prep in dreamland.
Like I said, I'm just spit-balling here. But that's my take on all those "misses" from a shooter who has taken the steps to ensure they're trained.
Firing Blanks??? Could relate to something else
