This is war!

Date: 12/26/2017

So this dream had two storylines. On the one hand i was advising the president that i wanted a new memorial put up that represented the death of innocence and on the other hand i was in a war fighting against like turkey or some country in the Mediterranean. The war part was weird tho. We all lined up on either side of a large valley and then everyone had weird bullets like purple or yellow pyramids and we just shot at each other like trench warfare. Not like the modern urban warfare stuff i learn about in school today. And as time went on they got different tactics and got smarter about it like they would put one person up to go shoot at us randomly to start the fighting and so we would waste energy/bullets/ammo on their lone dude and then once we died down a little the other side would have their whole army go back up to the burm of the huge hill and respond back with fires. Then after each day and after each battle we all loaded up onto cars as though it was like swim practice only the Turkish people had these weird busses and we got into like 1987 station wagons. Nobody could fight once we were leaving and in civilian clothes i guess so it was very normal person after we left the valley where we fought. I don’t think i saw anyone die but the concept that i was killing people and that i could die were very real. I was very jumpy at all times and honestly more afraid of death than i ever have been in real life. The second part of the dream was after i was a decorated veteran i wanted a memorial put up. I was very insistent on this statue and i wanted it to represent a loss of innocence. I couldn’t come up with what i wanted the statue to be tho so i called a council so help me. There were ideas thrown around and for a while i liked the idea of like an old woman or something lame like that. But then someone suggested my statue hit religion because religion is truly the backbone of this country and i was like “BINGO! That’s it” and so in my head i got this whole idea to build a statue of an old priest or whatever they call their religious leaders holding a baby and smiling in a very perverse convoluted way. In the other hand he would hold something vulgar like related to loss of innocence and idk there was some more symbolic representation but i think I’m missing it from my memory rn. Anyway. Interesting dream. I think it was trying to tell me something.
