Hello, I was wondering if I could get some perspective, see what you guys think.

So I had a dream where I was with my family, then a war started. A tribal country started war with us, and destroyed some of our land and resources. We went over as an army, I talked to some of the tribal country's kids (they were like 12 or so), I got some of their cellphones numbers and they started texting me, trying to establish peace. Our country starts a war, and we decimate their people and land. It's a blur I just run through. After its said and done, we all move on from the war. I get texts from the kids but I never respond because I know I killed their parents. Then I see a newspaper that declared me a hero with over 90 confirmed kills, but I feel. Empty inside. Like avoiding the truth of who I am or what I did.

I know, heavy. lol If anyone has a view or experience with war dreams, let me know. This was was extremely vivid and usually my dreams end up having some connection to whats to come in my life, in a metaphoric way.

Well dreams are funny in that they don't always represent what we think they mean. Did you dream in color, black n white? do you remember specific faces? Did it seem like it was a place that you know in waking life? Do you recall numbers or any sounds? From key things you said this is what i found.

Family

To see your own family in your dream represents security, warmth and love. It could also symbolize bitterness, jealousy, or rivalry, depending on your relationship with your family. Alternatively, it could mean that you are overly dependent on your family, especially if the family members are in your recurring dreams. Consider also the significance of a particular family member or the relationship you have with them.�If you dream that your family does not act or appear as they normally are, then it means that you want to distance yourself from them. Or you simply don't understand where they are coming from.

Children

To see children in your dream signify an aspect of yourself and your childlike qualities. You may be retreating back to a childlike state and longing for the past. You are trying to still satisfy repressed desires and unfulfilled hopes. Perhaps there is something that you need to see grow and nurture. Take some time off and cater to the inner child within. Alternatively, the dream may be highlighting your innocence, purity, simplicity, and carefree attitude. If you are fighting with children, then it implies that you are repressing your inner child. The children could represent someone in your waking life (coworker, mate, sibling, etc.) who is acting like a child. If you see children fighting in your dream, then it means that your sense of morality and character are in conflict.

Hero

To dream that you are a hero signifies your inner strengths and weaknesses. The dream refers to your ability, determination and level of confidence. You have the power to bravely face the secrets of your subconscious and confront life's challenges.



War

To dream of a war signifies disorder and chaos in your waking life You are experiencing some internal conflict or emotional struggle which is tearing you up inside. Alternatively, the dream indicates that you are either being overly aggressive or that you are not being assertive enough. Perhaps you need to be prepared to put up a fight in some area of your life. On a more direct level, the dream may be reflection of current wars around the world and your personal feelings about it.

Killing

To dream that you kill someone indicates that you are on the verge of losing your temper and self-control. Consider the person you have killed and ask yourself if you feel any rage towards her or him in your waking life. Your dream may be expressing some hidden anger. Alternatively, you may be trying to kill an aspect of yourself that is represented by the person killed. Identify the characteristics of this person and ask yourself which of these qualities you are trying to put an end to.

Sounds very Metal Gear Solid, nice large helping of melancholy in there too which is kind of awesome for dreams
I was going to say that one or Doom, Halo, Left4dead etc.... or any other game that involves killing/mass distruction.




yeah, Halo big time. I only ever watched Doom played from the outside, don't know much about it. But all the best stories have that kind of tragic victory thing going for them, in games.

I loved being the Arbiter in Halo 2.

I tried Halo once... lol

Doom and the others i got into big time. Borderlands was another one that his dream reminded me of, i loved that game.
