Dreamt about being in a war?

Question

I don't know how much I believe in symbolism in dreams but I figure it doesn't hurt to speculate.

Anyway, as the title of this question implies, I dreamt I was at battle. The weird thing is that I hardly ever think about war, nor do I have any desire to be in one. Also, this is one of those dreams in which I retained, and still retain, a set of very clear images in the dream (clear as far as dreams go).

Let me attempt to describe it:
The chronology is unfamiliar, but I remember fighting along a beach on a very small island, like a naval base or something. The island itself had no vegetation...it was completely barren but had mountain-like structures in the inner regions. The reason I ask about this dream is because the common theme throughout seemed to be me, fighting alongside my friends, being forced into multiple near-death situations but somehow amazingly surviving each time. My mind had not defined any friends individually that I can remember, I just knew they were friends

...so I can only assume that that must be of some importance since mind my made that clear. Otherwise, they could've just been random soldiers. Anyway, the part I remember most distinctly makes little sense in reality, but it when the enemies had just started to attack. We all quickly loaded into a moving train of some sort, which was apparently somewhat indestructible to missles. I, however, was the last in line a could not fit inside the "caboose", if you will. So there I was, vulnerable to any projectiles that might be coming towards me at the moment, scared for my life. Obviously I survived until the train stopped and I distinctly remember telling whoever was in charge that I could've died back there and they were completely apathetic and indifferent in their response though I can't remember it exactly.

Like I said, this sort of thing keeps occuring. The theme of me having to survive in odds that are very unlikely.

Wow! You should become a writer or a director in the movie industry. I would pay to either read the book or watch the movie.

Answer 2

War
To dream of a war, signifies disorder and chaos in your personal affairs. You also be experiencing some internal conflict or emotional struggle. You are feeling torn between aspects of yourself. Perhaps the dream may indicate that you are being overly aggressive or you are not being assertive enough.

Battlefield
To dream that you are on a battlefield, represents some major conflict occurring in your waking life. It may indicate a new situation, new problem or new relationship which you need to solve and conquer.

Battle
To be in or see a battle in your dream, suggests that you are overworked. You need to give yourself a break. There is a conflict between your rational thinking and your irrational impulses. Alternatively, it represents eroticism. You may be overly stimulated or you are trying to suppress your instinctual urges.

Answer 3

There have got to be a TV sequence or movie approximately prophetic goals doing the rounds on the minute. Everyone appears to be having them. Unless you are speakme approximately deja vu, which quite is not the identical factor in any respect. If you determine some way to foretell lottery numbers, you can be the primary.

Answer 4

Yep, I dream about being in a war quite often. Almost once every fortnight.
The weird thing is the dream ends the instant before my alarm rings......
Its usually a historical scenario- the Romans with spears & swords. Dunno if it was a past life or just because I'm a movie buff.
