Anybody else have this or a similar recurring dream?

I had a very similar dream less than a week ago. I saw a guy messing around by my backdoor so I grabbed my 1911 45, moved the curtain on the door over, he put his face to the door window to look inside and I shot him point blank in the face through the window and it did absolutely nothing to him. I'm actually surprised I got the shot off though because in my typical self defense dream, I can't pull the trigger. I pull the gun but it's like the trigger weighs a ton and I can't pull it. I even switch to my middle finger to put more pressure but nothing. I hate those dreams

If you can remember your dreams, ya ain’t drinking enough baw.

Mine is fist fighting. I have never been in a fist fight in my life, but I've had plenty of dreams where I'm punching someone and my arms are moving at turtle speed and doing no damage.

That's very weird because I have the very same thing

I only carry 9 so I assume that's what it is I'm shooting in me dream but my shots have no affect at all.

I also have the trigger pulling issue. This is fascinating that it's as common as it is

Very weird

I have the self defense dream, but it's part of the broader "architectural" dreams as I call them. My weapon is either not where I think it is or the bad guy is somehow between me and the weapon - sometimes there is shooting, but usually it's just the mental problem solving of me getting to the gun, or calling the cops or getting the family out or whatever - it isn't very common.

The broader "architectural" dreams can be military, educational or both - occasionally it's commercial hotel/mall or combo - it's either a single large building or a large campus - the problem is - the thing changes and it usually becomes like a pathfinding problem - I keep having to stop and get my bearings and figure out how to get where I'm going from where I'm at. I usually figure out it's a dream because the dimensions and layout of the place change and become increasingly complex. Sometimes, its a military barracks or training school and we're trying to get the mission or training event going, but there is a lot of time lost going from place to place under these conditions.

The educational version, I know I haven't been to class in weeks and I'm not sure where the room is, what the assignments are or if I even have the books. I generally figure that one out when I say to myself, "Dude. You haven't been in school in 15 or 20 years."
