    Exactly so! Also, dreams can also be PTSD “practice”. For me, my guns always jam or weirdly fall apart.

    “Oh shit! I’m in serious danger!”

    Perfectly reliable Colt .45: “Nah. Jammed. Just because.”

      My reoccurring nightmare is trying to speak but my words won’t come out. Feels like my mouth won’t move and my voice chokes up in my throat. I’ve woken up lots of times screaming something because I guess I try and brute force my body into saying what I’m needing to say

        Oof yeah I’ve had this one plenty in my nightmares. Screaming for all I have and all that comes out is the faintest, quietest squeak.
