In the past
in my dreams
I dreamt of guns
that would not fire
I would pull back
on their triggers
but they would not fire
no matter how hard I
pulled them
I recently had a dream
I was fighting off panthers or jaguars
at a waterfront villa
my wife was trying o shoot one of the mad cats
but her gun would not fire
I was able to adjust the trigger
so the gun was again functional

I am going in soon
for shoulder surgery
I gave up martial arts after
I had a major dislocation
during a test in the dojo
I wonder if the two sets of dreams
are linked to this healing process
