Well yesterday started out as a bad day. The knee was killing me so I needed to take some Percocet for it. Figured I would lay down for awhile. After awhile I thought about a gun buy back so figured I would check it out and see what was being given away.

Get there and see this older then me feller standing there. He looked to be waiting for someone so I figured I would check to make sure he was OK. Got to talking to him for awhile and he confessed to me he was a WWll vet and collector and he was looking for the right individual to sell his collection to that he thought would take good care of it instead of having it destroyed. He has some all matching firearms he wanted to get rid of as he was going to a assisted living and they wouldn’t let them there. Said all he wanted out of them was what they were offering at the buy back. So I figure I would look at what he had.

3 liberators complete box instructions, figured I would sell them to finance the purchase and buy another safe or two.
Everything complete original with matching numbers and in excellent condition for being war relics.

So after talking some more, and him confirming he didn’t want any more that the buy back price I loaded him into the truck and headed to the bank to get some money. When we get to the door the no firearm sign was on the door so I went back to the truck to lock the CCW up. When I turned around I see these two guys in all white holding the old guy by the arms so I hobbled as fast as I could to see what was going on. They were going to take him to his new home but said they would let him complete the transaction. So we all go inside and after filling out the withdrawal slip and getting the money we head to the door where I was about to give him the money. Then I hear this horrible screaming sound and our cat was meowing in a screaming tone and woke me up and she is really loud. It was a dream

and I have never remembered one this vivid and complete in my life. The poor cat still doesn’t know why I was chasing her around the house with a broom. Think I’ll take some more Percocet and see if I can complete the transaction.

Has anyone ever had a dream that they had the chance to get a holy grail item only to find out they were dreaming?

Old high school friend had visions like this till they took all his cough syrup away.
 
I had a dream like that once--only it had to do with winning a $65 million dollar lottery. The dream was so real--I was in my home--built on a hillside about 100 yards off the ocean--I was standing on a balcony area--which over-looked the large hourglass-shaped swimming pool--which over-looked the ocean. I was enjoying it all-waiting for a phone call--which turned out to be my alarm clock--waking me and I realized-I was stll dirt poor--and bt then--peeved too.

My dreams usually involve the cool cars and a couple of Smiths that I had in my misspent youth. Misspent cuz I sold them and spent the money on who knows what.

And a bunch of weird ones about ostriches chasing me, never could figure that one out, no drugs involved.

Thing is it is true about dreaming it. Man when the cat woke me up I was péd off. I usually don't remember my dreams as I don't have many need to get the C-pap reset but this one I can remember as if it really happened and the med usually don't do anything for me. On second thought maybe I should check the safe.:eek: And I like collecting WWll firearms.
 
I got woken from a dream once. Looked at the clock, realized I didn't have to get up, got back into the dream and found out she ran off with my boss! THEN I WAS PO'd!

I was one of the guys in the white coat, after we ran you off he gave me the collections. AND NOW YOU'RE TELLING ME IT WAS A DREAM!!!!

I feel ill.
 
You had me, too. I was thinking what a sorry braggart.
The Liberator pistols really made my ears stand up.

Great post!! :D
 
I found a fine custom rifle in .250 Savage, for $250, while dreaming once.
Got up and looked up the gunshop on line, just in case.
No luck. No shop by that name.
