I was sent to an on going war multiple times. I didn't worry or care at first. Bombs were going off all around me it was my new normal. Everyone was wearing Army uniforms all around me. I wasn't wearing a uniform at all. I felt like a soldier. Most days turned the place around us to ruble. Then one day I was in a war zone, this time I nearly died. I barely made it struck by bomb and chunks of building. Most people fighting with me did not make it. My entire view changed. Realizing all I had to lose and the severity of the entire situation I became terrified. I was in uniform now I was a soldier. And everyone I played eyes on was soldier. All were young and eager like I use to be. I saw too many gleefully running to war, to their deaths proud to serve but not knowing what they are laying their life down for. I was anxious a upset. I guy passed me with his friends smiling and laughing in full uniform. Why are you smiling I thought? I yelled at some of the soldiers as they were passing up the stairs entering the gates of no return. I told them to STOP! And DON'T DO IT! I almost died it's terrible! You are too young I said. I'm still to young I thought to rush to a early death. Soldiers laughed pointed at me called me a coward and told me to step aside. They smiled and laughed as they passed me by. Not taking heed of my warnings. They did not seem to care because they did not know. And I couldn't free them. I couldn't make them understand and the way that I knew. I started to go down the stairs below ground level away from the sky. Some soldiers were walking behind me in uniform. They passed me and walked down in front. They had smiles on their faces too. Their faces full of youth an glee. I thought this was so wrong. They did not deserve this fate. Their smiles haunting me. Hey! I shouted to get their attention. But they were getting further ahead. Down the large spiraling stair case that seemed to split into different directions all heading down. They were across the bridge heading down. The two guys. Hey I yelled. But I was getting farther away from them. Their laughter drowning me out. And the spiraling stair cases splitting in multiple directions. I rain down and saw them across the bride on another stair case heading down. I kept seeing them before my view occasionally was obstructed by the stairs. But I always heard them laughing. A flicker of their green soldier uniform. Fading into a desent . We were going the same direction but ending up down different places. I've been on strange stair cases before, when I first escaped the bombing with my life. I was trying to come up from the lower level. I saw a family out of place. They asked me if I lived near here. I didn't have my uniform on so i guess they thought I was a local. The old man asked me again. I said no eagerly and left I did not like being questioned. But he kept insisting to see where I was going. I got anxious and rain up the stairs. Which brings me back to these spiraling stairs. I reached the bottom. And I can't hear and soldiers laughing. I can't see them anymore. I was in a empty basement. Machines humming. And plumbing noises. There were emergency exits. But I did not want to leave through those doors. So I saw a corridor that lead to stairs going up. Some one was in the basement. A woman I think. She asked if I was leaving out. I said no and went up the staircase.
This dream seems to reflect feelings of isolation, fear, and confusion. The repeated theme of being in a war zone symbolizes a sense of chaos and danger in your waking life. At first, you are detached from the situation and it feels normal to be surrounded by destruction and conflict, perhaps indicating desensitization or avoidance of a difficult situation in your life. However, as the dream progresses, you experience a shift in perspective when you come close to death, which causes you to feel overwhelmed by fear and a newfound sense of duty and responsibility. The other soldiers in the dream, particularly the young ones eager to go to war without fully understanding the consequences, could represent aspects of yourself or others around you who may be recklessly pursuing a path without considering the risks involved. Your attempts to warn and deter them may reflect a desire to protect yourself or others from harm, though your efforts are met with ridicule and dismissal. The descending staircases leading to different destinations could symbolize the uncertainty and lack of control you feel in your current situation. The detachment from the soldiers and their laughter fading away may indicate a feeling of being disconnected or left behind in a changing environment. The interaction with the family in the dream may suggest a desire for guidance or support, but feeling anxious and avoiding it instead. The presence of the woman in the basement and your choice to go up the staircase may represent a need to seek a way out or a new direction in your current circumstances. Overall, this dream could be a reflection of inner turmoil, the struggle to navigate a challenging situation, and the need to find a way towards safety and resolution.
