I’m sure i’m not the only one who’s found myself holding a gun while dreaming. Well, i’ve been reading through my dream journal, and something occurred to me: these weapons are one of the biggest irregularities within a dream. For one, where do you even get them from, assuming you don’t pick them up, or they aren’t handed to you. Also, i’ve never once reloaded in a dream. Also, there isn’t any kick. As well as all this, i only shoot handguns, and yet i’m running around with these assault rifles, blasting zombies as if it was every day life. Finally, i’ve noticed that the guns are never loud enough to wake me up, and usually sound distant if i even hear them at all. If your someone who dreams about weapons frequently, you should begin watching for them, and immediately knowing to ask yourself about the irregularities that come with dreaming about them.
Huh, I think you sparked some random fragment from recently… don’t know when it’s from though. Maybe a nap that wasn’t so clear. I remember someone giving me a gun and there was no scope or whatever, but I was gonna aim anyway and hope my aim was good. They’re not that common for me though. I get them, just not so often.
I think anything in a dream is like this and you might wanna watch out for them 
Damn gun commercial below this thread for me lol it’s tracking me!!
reminds me of a lucid dream i had, i was walking around testing out this high tech gauntlet on my arm, who gave it to me i do not know, i just knew i had to test it out 
I’ve never even held a real gun, but they feature quite regularly in my dreams. All that time playing computer games is an adequate substitute, apparently. I have had to reload once or twice, but certainly there’s negligible recoil and they’re quite quiet. As for irregularities in the guns themselves, I once had a desert eagle with a fire-mode selector, among other things. It was covered in little switches and dials. I’ve never really paid attention to the guns most of the time, any more than I have most other objects in my dreams.
uhmm… had lots of weapons in my dreams, especially in specific times of the year, like around March and October. I have come to notice this after a while I was having such dreams. They weren’t violent though, I mean it didn’t all look as if violence was being involved, it was all a bit detached as if I was dreaming
I’m hardly an expert (not just from my post count, but also because even though I have tons of dream control, I don’t have alot of immersion or feeling of vivid experience from them), but I’m not sure how much of this you want to offset.
What I mean is this - if you’re looking for an experience that clearly defines the line between dream and the real… and you choose something that clearly should wake up all but the dead (like a gunshot, pretty much the most startling experience most people have)… then once you talk your subconscious into putting more volume and shock into each pull of the trigger, the increased sensation could easily force yourself out of the dream… just like excitement over the realization that you’re dreaming sometimes forces you out of the dream (like the exploding book scene in Inception).
I know if I am shooting in my dream… I already have the upperhand. I have confidence that I’m either (a) in a videogame, and if I die, I get to respawn anyway, so who cares or (b) I probably have an advantageous situation… otherwise I wouldn’t be shooting, I’d be looking for a better angle, or running. I can only hope identifying with that mindset helps a little.
Sounds like what you’ve got there does make an excellent dream sign… I’m still looking for common objects or themes (my DD only has about 4 recordings ) but it’s good to have something to spark that deja vu feeling and remind you to RC.
I had a dream where i was with a friend in a huge hotel/convention center, and a terrorist takover occurred. Weird thing was, i was using my own hand in a gun shape against them. It completely worked, and if i recall correctly didn’t make noise. It succeeded in bringing them down, weird thing was my friend’s personality stayed exactly the same in the dream (He’s a sarcastic git ) and he made fun of me for using a literal "hand"gun like a child
