According to authorities, an Illinois man dreamed about an intruder sneaking into his home and shooting himself in the head with a.357 Magnum while he was sleeping.
According to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, the man ended up being detained because his Firearm Owners Identification Card had been revoked as if cutting himself in the leg were not enough punishment.
On April 10, the incident took place. On that night, about 9:50 p.m., sheriff’s deputies arrived at the residence in Lake Barrington, in the northeastern suburbs of Chicago, in response to a complaint of a shooting.

The sheriff’s office said that “fortunately, the round did not travel through a shared wall with Dicara’s neighbors.”
Dicara’s home was not the target of a break-in, according to the sheriff’s office, and despite having his FOID card cancelled, he was in possession of a gun.
The Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office then accused Dicara of recklessly discharging a handgun and possessing a firearm without a current FOID card.
Dicara was detained on Monday but was later freed after posting bail.
