Dream of War. War and warfare are common motifs in dreams. If you have participated in war or survived it recently, or even if you have heard news regarding war, then those dreams shouldn’t be interpreted, because they are contaminated by previous or recent experience.

To see war in a dream

Dreaming of warfare symbolizes restlessness. It is possible that you are experiencing fights between family members, colleagues or friends too emotionally.

It is possible that you are tormented with conflicts that are similar to war between good and evil inside of you. You are constantly torn between things you want and between people’s expectations.

If you are at a crossroads regarding love and business relationships, you will have a hard time to figure out your choice. It is possible that you will close one door that you will not be able to open anymore. Whatever you decide, it will be late to cry over spilled milk.

That makes you even more dissatisfied, but your fear of failure and disappointment is stronger.
