I had a dream last night, where I was in my basement getting ready for some trip. I don’t remember the details of this part of the dream, but people were packing things away, and then I only remember the dream changing, and suddenly I was part of some army, or air force, or space program. We all had green, or dark blue jumpsuits, with different badges, like the sew-on ones they have for boy/girl scouts. Right at the beginning, we all were on a mission, the details of which I can’t remember. One of our men died, and I was in his “patrol”, he may have even been one of my superiors. I was left in charge of collecting more badges for the troops, possibly the deceased man’s badges; there were four badges in all. One with the force’s special seal, this badge was very beautiful, with vibrant color, and details and everything, and it was explained to me, that this badge meant the mission was to go on, despite the recent death. A second badge was completely white. A third badge had a saying, I think it was “love”, or “peace”, “faith”, or something to that effect. The fourth was another word, which escapes me now, but they were all very beautiful, even the white badge. I was ordered to hand them out/ distribute the badges among (his closest friends)/ (the troops)? Anyway, it was breakfast time in my dream, and my patrol had just cooked something for breakfast and I was suddenly picking up these badges. I distinctly remember seeing breakfast cooked, and was looking forward to it. I had to go to another shed, the patrols operated out of sheds. So in this other shed was a large group of mourning people. One of which was a friend who is actually in the navy in real life. He was a pilot in my dream. I handed out these badges and kept one for myself. And everybody left except a woman, and this pilot (we were friends in my dream, as well). We started talking, inaudibly, and the woman asked me if I would like some breakfast, because they had just finished cooking theirs.

I said, “no thank you, we have something back at the shed.” To which my friend replies with something completely “not nice”. And I tell him, “just because you’re a pilot, doesn’t mean you get to be an ass!” he gets up, and I get this threatening vibe from him, like my life’s in danger, and I don’t care. I give him the finger, and then an announcement comes on the p.a. “~~~~~~”t-force”~~~~~~~” I am shown one of my badges, and it has a red “T” on the top of it, the T emphasizes itself to me. The rest of the badge was unclear. I said, “T FORCE... DAMMIT!” and threw the shed door open. I saw a field, as green as I’ve ever seen. And started running towards my own patrol’s shed. I got the feeling of myself pulling out a gun, and taking aim. There was one more soldier out on the field with me, and I remember feeling unsure as to whether or not he was on our side. There were sirens all around….. I didn’t make it back to my shed. I pulled up my gun, took aim at this mystery person, and woke up.

 

its never a waste of time to avoid causing suffering, because the more of it there is, the more there is to run into ourselves.

i would say, off the top of my head, and i'm not saying this as criticism, but rather as the idea of that you might get something completely of your own out of it, that maybe it would be good if you watched, and i wish i knew the names of any of the ones i'm thinking of that i've only seen bits and pieces out of, but some of the japanese anime about honor and how vengence never is.

i mean i'm not suggesting you don't already know that either, just this bussiness of military context and all.

(for what its worth, i WAS in the air force as a cooperative consientious objector, to get out of being drafted into the army during viet nam. and i did get some electronic warfare training out of it and did manage to not get sent anywhere that i would have had to kill anyone, though i would much rather have become a canadian citizen at the time, and would have remaind one if i had)

It would seem that the 4 medals/badges represent 4 choices (like 4 different job opportunities, 4 different belief systems, 4 different occupations to get into, 4 different schools, 4 different cities to move to, 4 different homes to choose from.)

You will choose accordingly, choosing whichever one you feel is right for you. At the time you will feel that you made the most logical choice. But there will be hidden responsibilities with each choice.

Or they represent your giving reponsibilities, like projects, to others. These others could also be represented by the badges, that the one which has "love & peace" on it could go either to a person who is loving and peaceful or who looks like a '60s hippie. The white one could be either given to someone who you see as unproven, who has yet to prove himself, who is a blank slate, or who is spiritual (although I would think that purple woould be a better colour for that person). The multi-coloured vibrant one is the cream of the crop. You'll probably want to keep that position for yourself.

The gun fight with a stranger is just that - a verbal fight with someone who weilds just as much power as you do. There will be a power struggle. But you will be indecisive whether to engage or not.

 

im sorry, i don't mwant to sound rude, but wat exactly are you talking about?..lol i wasn't able to understand at all wat u were getting at...lol

 

well, i thank you for your reply. it's always funto see what everyone thinks of absolutely anything..lol

 

I'm not really sure what the badges represent, White Feather sounds like he's on a good track. But, I've noticed repeating dream situations involving military among a number of people's dreams including my own. (unless you're actually joining the military in the near future) The one thing I've learned about these is that they always portray conflict between two parts of ourselves, evident in the final image you posted about running in the field and shooting at a vague stranger. As long as you confront this character in your dreams with weapons, you may never be at peace with that side of yourself. More times then not, denying this character represents something about ourselves we wish not to be or something we wish to forget. i.e. Freudian childhood traumas. I personally believe everyone has a "1st dream" somewhere around 3 yrs old which is sexually explicit, traumatic, but rejuventating at the same time. The moment the sexual drives and motives are revealed to the conscious. This is repressed and is seldom reintegrated into consciousness later on in life. Back to the final image, I've learned of several dreams involving guns/shootout and they've all roughly translated as being conflict of interest related symbols. Hope this helps

 

not to worry. just rambling the first things to come out the top of my head, or someplace. whitefeather has more sense then i have about these things.
