Well trained guard: both shooting AND increasing distance/escaping away as fast as practical.

He’s definitely had training above and beyond ‘prison guard’!!!
This is who I wanna be when I grow up!

Not many men have good situational awareness, which makes him even more awesome!!! :x yxthumbs:

PS I have had dreams similar to yours. I’ll be fist fighting and can’t land a punch to save my soul!
What was that bit about dreams being slow cuz we’re asleep?? There’s nothing to support that. My dreams flow in real life speed. Don’t you drive or go on amusement rides like roller coasters in your dreams? Many people fly in dreams. I don’t know of ANYTHING that can maintain flight slooowly… except maybe a dirigible, but they’re half balloon.

I actually have both killed people in dreams, war, murder, survival, and have also died in a couple dreams… Not the kind where you wake up when you’re killed. I mean I experienced the entire death. And then I can see what happens for several seconds after, watching from another perspective. I’m just happy dreams don’t deliver pain…
But I can’t EVER find a bathroom in my dreams.

There is a study that suggests that could be the case. That we dream in slow motion. Of course you wouldn't know it, it seems normal to us. But it could explain why people running in their dreams can't run fast. Or can't throw a punch fast. When I dream of getting into a fight, it feels like I'm punching under water, I'm trying as hard as I can to throw a hard punch, but it just moves slowly.

Although there's no established evidence we dream in slowly motion, there is studies that show its a possibility.

And can explain why short dreams seem to be hours long. Or there's another explanation.

But I don't believe our dreams have some connection to our insecurities like some people believe, like we can interpret them to explain some problem in our real life.

He shot at the prison guard who reacted to the aggression, shooting back at the assailant who died.

~ The wannabe robber was obviously a rookie who had not developed a proper technique. (Running towards intended victim too soon caused major fail)

Most people can't just pick up a pistol and hit what they shoot at. Especially a moving target, and especially if the shooter is also moving.

The guy who's said to be a prison guard probably practices. Maybe has a shooting range he visits. Has spent time learning how to aim and hold his pistol, how to draw on targets.

The attacker probably has never practiced. So he missed. It's not easy to hit something with a pistol 15 ft away. Mainly because when people pull the trigger they move the gun, they close their eyes. And many times you can't tell if you hit or missed, or where you shot exactly. So its hard to correct on the next shot.

I've had this same dream for years and years. That somebody is trying to kill me, and I'm trying to shoot them but I keep missing. I don't remember what happens next. But later I spot the person and want to go take them out. But I'm afraid to because I'm worried I'll miss and they'll get me. I don't know why I seem to have this dream a couple times a year, for like 10 years or more.

I've read that you mind won't allow you to die in your dreams, maybe it won't allow you to kill as well. When I was looking into dreams I also read that you can't run fast in dreams because you're sleeping and your mind is operating in low power, so your dream is like a movie in your mind, playing at reduced speed.

I thought I was the only person who couldn't run in my dreams.

Regarding the circumstances and strange quirks we experience while dreaming I have come to some conclusions of my own based on what is going on inside our body while we are sleeping, physiological/sensorial and psychological issues may give us a possible answer.

It is common knowledge that we dream during the REM (Rapid eye movement) phase.

When I was a 9-10 y.o. kid I had a dream about a witch who had kidnapped me, it was a horrible dream, the witch started laughing with a horrendous cackle when she snatched me in her arms, it was so scary that I awoke painfully slow, and as I did I realized that a woman in the house next door patio was laughing out loud as she chatted with someone.
The witch's terrible laughter slowly morphed in my mind from a horrendous cackle into the normal laughter of the woman in a rather cool sound effect.
I realized that her laughter had caused me to have the scary dream and that my long dream had taken only seconds in real time but inside my mind it had been minutes.
At the time I already had knowledge about the REM phase of sleep, I used to devour medicine and science of books from my father's collection and realized that my brain was on some sort of turbo mode when asleep and co-relating to the REM I got to the conclusion that maybe it was because our brain was on turbo mode that the eyes moved so fast as we were looking around in our dreams but everything was happening super fast inside our mind.

This made me get to the conclusion of why most of my dreams happened in dark places or at night, because by having my eyes closed my brain didn't perceive too much light and that resulted in having very few daylight dreaming.

I also had dreams where I was falling from great heights but I was always awakened by fear just before hitting the ground.

But there was this one occasion when I was falling and I did hit the ground, but it was like hard rubber and I rebounded and my dream continued.

About the issue of not being able to run fast I co-relate this to the fact that our mid brain is disconnected from the brain so the body is paralyzed while we're asleep.
This is the reason why sometimes our legs twitch just before we go to sleep, because the surface of the mid brain is not fully disconnected or is in the process of being disconnected by having some chemical compound cover the surface of the mid brain so there is no communication of motor commands to the spinal chord.

This happens to avoid us replicating the movements we do in our dreams while asleep in bed, the brain must notice the inability to communicate with the rest of the body and interprets it as having problems to move fast because there is no feedback from the limbs to the brain to report limb position in 3D space and speed.
