shooting someone

I'm inside the office where all the PhD students' offices are. There are some shooters running around the building and people have told us to stay inside the office.

My friend Angie and I decide to investigate and want to catch these bad guys. We grab some guns that we find in the office. We peek outside the hallway and don't see anyone. There are lots of cabinets out in the hallway. We sneak behind them, waiting for the bad guys to come through the hallway. I sit down behind one of the cabinets and Angie hides behind one of them further away from me. Two Asian guys walk by as if they're just students roaming the halls.

I know that all students have been told to stay in the office. These two guys must be the shooters. They walk past pretending not to notice me but I see one of them stopping in his tracks because he caught a glimpse of my gun. He reaches for the inside of his jacket. I wonder "Is this a dream? Am I really about to shoot someone right now?" Angie is frozen in place, looking at me with panic. I shoot both of them. But the bullets fly in slow motion and they look like balls of paint just touching them. I shoot a couple more times and they slowly fall to the ground.

There's no blood anywhere. A couple of seconds later, the shooters start talking and start to stand up. I try to shoot them again but nothing's happening to them. Angie looks at her gun and realizes she bought blanks instead of real bullets. We look at each other not knowing what to do.

And then... I wake up.
