A rare occurrance, but I'm going with the "antis." Going off-topic is like pushing the pebble that turns into an avalanche.

You want a bad dream? The guns are drawn and pointed, and I can see the BG's trigger finger pull the trigger back on his gun at the same time I'm trying to do the same. My gun jams, or fails to fire, or I can't aim for some reason, and I can't move. The details are different each time, but the end is the same. I see the guy's gun fire, and I feel the bullet impact. At that moment, I wake up.
