Gun nightmares

[d31tc]

I recently had a nightmare where I open up my gun safe and all my guns are covered in rust. No psychoanalysis, please.

It hasn’t happened in reality, but it’s been really humid here lately, which is probably why it’s on my mind. Golden rod, silicon socks, recent CLP and silica gel, so I should be fine…

When was the last time you cleaned your guns?

Most common gun nightmares: 50# trigger, bullets in slow motion, bullets that hit but fail to incapacitate.

Cleaned them about 2 months ago and as I shoot them before they get put away (that means 2 guns have been wiped down more in the last 2 months).

Lol I think I've had the 50 pound trigger dream as well.

I have the 50 pound trigger nightmare every time I’m shooting groups, but only on the tenth shot.

I think that just shows how much you like, love and appreciate your collection of firearms in your safe. God Bless You. I just wish there were more people like you that take care of the ones you have.
I still have re-occurring nightmares of walking into a class taking a final exam and I realize I never studied for it and wonder how I can B.S. my way through it. If someone wants to psycho babble me. be my guest. LOL I have more important things to do; like improve my trap average of 93.2%, and I would like to come in first place on a military shoot one more time with my M-1.

I had just the opposite kind of dream. Defending the family from a bunch of thugs, my LCP II shot at least ten times. Usually my guns don't fire.

Might be time to put away the nightmare gun if it's one of these that people posted about.

Nightmare Trigger Pull

Oh no it’s just a stock Glock!.

 

[Mark_Mark]

I get lots of nightmares that I’m in a SD shooting and my gun keeps jamming. Like, mag won’t fit, slide won’t rack, gun is airsoft, no ammo in mag….

Me too. It was a Walther PPK. And it wasn’t a dream!!!

My frequent gun dream is someone is coming at me and I pull my revolver. I pull the trigger and nothing moves. I pull harder and the barrel falls off and then the cylinder falls out. Then I wake up.

So.. Dreams are my hobby, and these are stress dreams. Has nothing to do with Skills or training. I had the exact same kidda dreams with my other career as a photographer, 3 years formal training and 15 years of full time work. Gear would fail or malfunction.

The Gun is just a place holder for something else!

Yup. I dream more about tripping over cats and driving with zombies than guns.

Is it possible that you are getting older and find it harder to move? Maybe that is where the "rust" originates.

many a boat owner has nightmares about sinking and smashed boats every time there is a storm ..

Thats what you get for dream-carrying an RG .22.......

100% truth . If only it was as easy as adding some CLP to my joints every 4 to 6 months to keep them running smooth.

I also find the more I move, the better I feel. Ironic. Definitely applies to my guns, too.

Yeah, they are anxiety dreams generated by something in your life and then translated into a genre you deal with.

Makes me wonder if cavemen dreamed about their bows and arrows not working properly???

With all your guns on board?! I’ve read gun owners are notoriously bad boaters.

 

[pbearperry]

Sometimes I dream I am back in Law Enforcement and the bad guy shoots me after the cylinder in my revolver falls out.

Only recurring nightmare of this nature that I have is one where either I can't pull the trigger "what others are calling the 50lb trigger pull" or the gun isn't even in the night stand and I'm literally holding nothing and making gun noises with my mouth... Hypothetically though if your nightmare came true perhaps you could rust blue the guns
