Morning everyone.
I woke up to a very terrifying dream this morning, however I don't really understand why I had it.
I'm an american (as you know) and a young one at that, I've never gone through any type of war that involves the invasion of my country, so I'm a bit lost as to why I had this dream
Here's how the dream went
It was a cloudy early morning, I was in a countryside town, there were a handful of older brick buildings around with a few small normal houses, a pretty typical sight that you'd see where I grew up at.
Pretty much everyone was outside, we heard the sound of a ton of planes flying overhead, and when I looked up, I saw i'd say about 20 planes or more, flying in a straight line. After a few moments they started dropping bombs, and all you could hear was a mixture of screaming, whistling, explosions, and the loud roaring of plane engines and artillery booming in the distance. For some reason I grabbed a hold of someone who was a bit smaller than myself, (for some reason they couldn't walk, i'm unsure as to why) And I bolted for a house that a ton of people were starting to gather up to. As I was running for the house, there was a man I passed who was directing people toward the house, and he got nailed by an artillery shell as I ran past (This is the point that I remember most in this dream, for some reason, it's sort of the moment when all of this came alive to me). After that, I started running harder, trying as hard as I could to get to the house, I felt like my chest was on fire, I felt like I was actually sprinting for my life, and finally, I busted into the house, and ran down a few flights of stairs (another odd thing is that the house had a basement that was like 4 stories underground? I have no clue).
Once I got down there, the dream started to break apart, it wasn't really cohesive after that point, it switched to a view of a shelled out city, paratroopers falling from the sky, gunning down civilians, soldiers killing people and police officers trying to protect people, at that point I wasn't really running, I wasn't doing anything, I was just watching the fighting go on, and then I woke up, freaked out a bit.
Then I came on here to post my dream, hoping someone could shed a little light on why im having weird dreams like this, that are so vivid in my head.
Or maybe get some interpretation
