So last night I had a really weird, long, and convoluted dream, the majority of which I don't clearly remember. But upon waking up it left me with two questions.
First, does anyone else have long, vivid dreams that they remember even in adulthood, or is that primarily a childhood thing? I remember when I was little I had long (mostly weird, sometimes interesting, occasionally awful) dreams almost every night, and I asked my Dad if he had dreams very often, and he said that he did when he was little, but then he grew out of it and in adulthood very rarely remembered having dreams at all.
For me, this doesn't seem to have happened. I don't have dreams as often I did when I was a child, but I will still have them fairly often, and they can be quite complex. For instance, the dream I had last night was a long, convoluted one where I was a member of a resistance movement against a rather vague enemy that seemed to change back and forth (as things often do in my dreams) between being Martian invaders who had conquered Earth, and being some type of NWO-style totalitarian regime. Apparently the dream started after I had been on some sort of spy mission and was trying to get back to my comrades without being captured and killed. My friend and I had some kind of improved machetes we had made from broken-off tiller tines that I had put an edge on with a grinding wheel. Then at some point in the dream I managed to upgrade by scavenging a firearm, and despite most everything else in the dream beings somewhat hazy in my memory, this is one thing I remember clearly, and it is that the gun was a lever-action carbine chambered in 9mm luger. I remember thinking to myself in the dream what a weird firearm it was, and that I had never seen one like it. It looked just like your typical lever-action gun (kind of like a Henry big boy) that you typically expect to be chambered in 44 Magnum or some such round, just it was chambered in 9mm. Upon waking up I was immediately left wondering if such a thing has ever been made? (I haven't googled it yet; I'm sure I could easily get the answer that way, but I thought it'd be more fun to share how the question came to me here first. Although if you've read this whole post so far you're probably already thinking I'm crazier than a March hare, lol.)
TLDR; I have weird dreams a lot and am wondering if this is normal? Also in my dream I saw a 9mm lever-action carbine, and I'm wondering if such a thing exists in real life?
