What's with all the guns?

Saturday night, I had a dream that I was shot and last night I was actually in Bond 007. In the dream where I was shot, I was in some sort of store front with a maintenance man and we noticed people fighting outside. A man in the fray yelled for someone to call the police, and after I did this girl came up to the window with a revolver and shot me in the chest through the glass. It didn't hurt and there wasn't much blood; there was a lot of choking (like in a crappy movie) as I ran for help.

Last night, it started out with just playing Bond and then, all of the sudden, I was physically in the game. I remember thinking I liked the assortment of weapons I had -- some power weapons, pistols, explosives -- a good variety. I shot a few droids who had bizarre lightning-like lasers, however, I was having trouble keeping my guns and keeping them loaded. Everyone else's aim sucked worse than mine so that helped.

Then, I came across this real-people couple that I had to kill. At first it was just the woman, and I couldn't get any of my guns to come up. I paused the screen to search my stash and I had nothing, not even throwing knives. I tried to slap the woman, but no matter what I did I couldn't make contact. I kept waiting to hear the slap sound effect, but it wasn't happening. Finally, I found a gun that looked sort of like a KF7 Soviet and I tried to load these giant, gold, sharp-pointed, bullets into it. I had the gun to her head and I pulled the trigger and I heard that hollow clicking sound which I decided meant the gun had to be cocked.

It's freaky when you do something in a dream that you've never done in real life, like cock a gun (or shoot people!). Perhaps, I had to cock my paintball gun the time I went with my uncles, cousins, and bro ...I can't really remember.

For some reason, the gun still didn't work and I believe I ended up jamming a gold bullet into her back or arm which seemed to do the trick. At that time, her male counterpart showed up and he had a crazy gleam in his eye. I searched around for guns but I got the sense that the only things left were explosives. I looked over as the dude impaled himself with some sort of time bomb and started walking towards me.

I knew I had to get as much space as possible between him and me before he exploded. I stumbled around, starting to panic, and eventually found a sealed off room that hadn't been too damaged from gun fire and explosions. It reminded me of a dorm room with a wooden bed, desk and dresser, though also similar to a room in the archives in N64 Bond. I tried to use part of the broken loft bed to jam against the unlocked door and then I sat with my back pressed up against the door anticipating the sound of the man exploding.

Then, I woke up. Try going back to sleep after that.
