Does anyone else experience a reoccuring dream in which they are armed (with whatever weapon) and battling zombies, aloha snackbars, insert enemy here and their weapon always jams / malfunctions? This happens at least once a month and is extremely frustrating. I'm certain there is an obvious underlying meaning but I can't fully translate. What sayeth the hive?

Not recurring, but I've had several dreams where I shoot "an assailant" multiple times with a .45 and it does nothing.


Maybe I need to switch to 9mm

Yes, 1000lbs trigger dream.
 



ETA: not recurring but it happened in a couple different dream sequences.

In my years of being an instructor and having had them myself, I attribute it to a lack of confidence in marksmanship and weapons handling skills.  Practice up, get some real training (not just plinking at the shootin' place), and the dreams will go away. YMMV.

I very very rarely have a dream involving firearms, but when I do they work.

Yup... all my guns have 100lb trigger pulls in my dreams .  I have moved out of this house so it doesn't happen anymore but i used to always dream that someone was walking into my room with a hatchet and i would grab my Glock that i keep next to the bed and get the slack out of the trigger but I didn't have the strength to actually get the trigger to break.  Sometimes i can get it to break but it is extremely difficult and I am wildly inaccurate.  Needless to say, I don't survive many of my dreams haha.  I have several friends that can't pull the trigger in dreams too

Not gun related, but, I used to have a reoccurring dream where I was trying to run from, (or to), something and my legs weighed a ton. I would physically have to use my arms to make my legs move and of course I could never get to or away from whatever it was I was running to or from.

When I have firearms dreams it ends with me asking the dying perp "Why did you make me do this?"

I used to have "naked in public" dreams all the time. Only rarely did I wake up to actually find myself naked in public. Then they abruptly stopped and I haven't had one in years. I have no idea why. Perhaps I am a closet nudist.

Did it coincide with alcohol consumption?  I've seen this phenomenon before.

"Recur" is the word you seek, as in "recurring dream".  Sheesh.

That and ..

Anytime I'm crossing a bridge it turns into some harrowing experience.   I end up climbing up on the girders hundreds of feet up and trying to leap across a breach.

Anytime I stay in a hotel room, I end up forgetting to take my stuff with me when I leave, then it becomes a mad dash to return to the hotel, which then turns into some MC Escher like maze when I enter it, I forget my hotel room number, and all attempts at recovering my things are thwarted.  Then I usually end up leaving my guns and other valuables there because I just can't figure out how to get back to my room.

Anytime I go to use a public restroom, I'm always barefooted and the floor is wet with urine.
