Dreams about being in a war

Hey lains. Almost all the time since I was in first grade,I dreamed/day dreamed about being in a battle of a war,any war really.It always concerns me because I don't know if it's a brain washing or anything else,it always boogles my mind

Part dogma, but also just part of being a boy/young man. Testosterone does that. You don't need to read into it too far, but might still be worth exploring. Do you play a lot of war games or are you a military buff in any other way? Might be a good idea to find a real veteran to talk to. It's not like it sounds in nearly any movie or game or depiction in daydreams. I was raised around a whole bunch of Vietnam vets. Papaw was a WWII vet, European theater. Some were pretty down on it, some were lifers who still stand by the cause. But most didn't talk too much about it directly. Those are supposedly the honest ones. Regardless, it's something that's important to know. I doubt somebody can really understand war, maybe not even by being in one themselves—but I figure the vets are gonna get you closer than anything else. Go by a VA office sometime. They often don't like looky-loos, but some of them want to tell their old stories and maybe just get something off their chest. I'm assuming you're American, but if not then there's usually some kind of analog in other countries. My own opinion is: don't enlist. Just don't. I don't know if that was at all your interest, as sometimes dreams aren't really reflective of actual desires. But you mention daydreams as well. There's plenty of good people in the military, but I think they are good despite their condition, not because of it. It's not healthy for most people.

>>3210 Developmentally, those that is a normal behavior for males. To help you understand it, you derive meaning from your surroundings, children especially. Children who watch many war/action movies emulate the traits of the characters. In child development children need heroes and villains to help find meaning and boundaries in the world. Just be glad that your dreams are just fantasy and not PTSD. Alternatively, maybe you are seeing memories from another life if you believe in reincarnation?

Go to liveleak and look for some ISIS war crimes and see if it satisfies you appetite.
