Armed and Dangerous!

Entering a mall with a DC friend, I see my grandfather he is also entering the mall and he has a gun in his hand... the dream character looks at me and says in way that makes her sound like she is hinting at something "That’s kind of weird I wonder why your grandfather would be carrying a gun to a mall" I look at her and say "It's a cap gun and that just my Grandfather for you" when he enters the mall he take the gun and hides it behind his back singling that it was in fact a real gun and not a cap gun. Me and my DC friend continue you to shop thinking nothing more of it. We run into him again the gun still concealed behind his back and he is walking in front of us so the gun was plain as day to us... The DC continues to hint the same thing at me again and then I start to think... Why would my grand father bring a cap gun to the mall... I was still convinced it was a cap gun. Then it hit me I am dreaming I went to RC but I’m starting to wake up... so I try rubbing my hands together but it was too late, I was awake.

I did discover that I am waking up not for excitement or anything else other then to make sure I am actually asleep! So some how I have to stop this or I will never LD... Anyone else had this problem?

Also Holiace I think I stole one of your dream signs... not only that but the gun was the scorpion you were telling me about..

OH yeah one last thing... WHY do I always end up at stores in my dream? I think its anther dream sign, but what does shopping mean... especially since I hate shopping in real life!
