What's your worst shooting-related nightmare?

Had nightmares where I kept shooting the bad guy and nothing happened.

Some others where I didn't have any ammo and the bad guys were closing in. Once I had a pile of ammo in front of me but none of it fit my gun! :(

Once I clearly saw my Glock disintegrate into pieces in my hand.

These nightmares seemed to have stopped since I took several professional firearm training classes. :)

However, I still have nightmares from being in Engineering school! :confused:

I have had the nightmare about being unable to pull the trigger on my handgun to stop someone or something from harming me. It seemed that I was so frightened that I loss all the strength in my hands and just froze.
Very frightening nightmare. Seemed real. I have read about this type of thing happening to people who were attacked by large bears.
:(
 
Im feeling left out,,,I dont recall any. Not that i havent woke up with heart racing and fast breathing...fubsy.
 
My Dad told this to me today as we were driving to a gunshow.This was in the 60's and he was in the military and working security.At about 3 am he parked at the dump and turned his radio up loud so it would wake him if he fell asleep[wich he planned to do].He said he fell asleep and dreamed a lady came running out of her house screaming that her husband was killing thier child.He ran into the house and a big,really big guy was on top of a kid beating it with his fists.My dad said he pulled out his club and beat the BG in the head about a hundred times with no results.So he pulled his 45,stuck it to the BG head and started pulling the trigger.....thats when he woke up with his 45 in his hand pointing at the front windshield!He said that scared the bejeezes out of him![Glad I didnt sleep with him!]

Haven't had any of these dreams recently (thank God).
1. The heavy trigger very often. Seems to be universal.
2. Malfunction of gun- -click!
3. Bullets dribble out of barrel.

The interesting thing for me is that when I'm shot, which often happens in these dreams, it does not hurt. The BG just keeps putting hole after hole into me, and I start to feel weaker. It doesn't stop me from running or fighting, however. There usually isn't any blood when I'm shot either. When I do manage to plug one of the BG's there is a lot of blood.
Now I'll probably have one of these dreams tonight, after talking about them.
 
"I sometimes have what are called waking nightmares, where my eyes are open but my brain is still asleep. (This condition has a medical term but it escapes me)In the worst of these episodes, a man is hurting my wife and all I can do is watch from flat on my back, unable to move or even speak."
---- Jeez, that's freeky, I have the exact same dream! Well almost, I dream that I wake up but I'm cemented to my bed, Glock on the end table, my wife is screaming and HE'S COMING but I cant move an inch! Always gives me the shakes a while afterwards.
 
My worst nightmare.....my wife discovers my cache of weapons and ammo.... :eek:

Real life nightmare, I agree with one other person that posted here; "being pulled over for a minor traffice violation and some officer spots my CCW and shoots me dead before asking questions."

Actual nightmares,

1. This one happened around the time I first purchased a hangun for CCW, a .45 caliber too. I am in a parking lot in a gunfight with a tall lady dressed in pale white, I can hear her bullets zipping past my head, I am filled with dread and terror. As I come to my senses and begin to return fire, the gun fires, the bullets hit the target, I can see the bullets like they were all tracer rounds, but this Banshee just hollers and laughs at me. I wake up as this Banshee is bearing down on me for the final kill after I ran dry on ammo.

2. I'm suddenly in the military, my D.I. goes insane and forces me into a car as we hit a suburban neighborhood with assualt rifles and standard issue 1911's. I finally am able to get out of the car, the D.I was driving, and run for my life. This crazy fellow starts chasing me in the car. I find cover on a raised porch and begin firing at the car, aiming for the D.I. through the windshield. I know I don't have a pray at actually hitting my target as I dodge the speeding car, but I keep firing until I am on my 3rd and final mag. Then the D.I. traps me in a corner and barrels straight at me, I fire dead ahead into the winshield, until finally I have to jump on the hood and fire directly into the winshield. The D.I. laughs and falls bullet riddled out of the car, and say something like, "that is the kind of soldier I am looking for, now get me to the hospital." Then as I am driving the car I have just made to resemble swiss-cheese, the police spot us and sensing something wrong give chase, and I am trying to figure out how I am going to explain all the holes in my D.I. that were made with my gun. Finally the police have us cornered in a cul-de-sac across from a hole in the wall doctor's office. Then I wake up.

BTW, I have never served in the military, so the added horror of beginning the dream in boot-camp would have been enough.

Keep on hitting the Bull's-eye,

There's some pretty wild dreams here. I bet some psychiatrists would have a field day reading these.

I wonder how common gun-related dreams/nightmares are for people who have never even handled a real gun.
