Dream About War? (Interpretation & Spiritual Meaning)

When you dream about war, this can generally represent problems that need urgent solutions. Most of these problems are internal, such as the emotions that you carry in your waking life.

Dreams about war are also representations of transformation and behaviors. This means that your habits being portrayed by the war itself, are holding you back from your success in life.

But, this is not just about yourself and how you act. In this article, we will discuss the different interpretations of dreaming about war.

Dream About War? (Interpretation & Spiritual Meaning)

Generally, war is a negative sign. Many people who dream about war consider this dream a nightmare because of their war experiences. Some of the symbolism of dreaming about war will be discussed in this section.

1. Conflicts

Usually, war dreams represent internal and external conflicts. The latter conflicts might be about your families, loved ones, and friends. 

Because of your troubles, anxiety, stress, struggles, instability, and other negative emotions, you tend to interact with others negatively as well.

Unfortunately, this can only lead to a dispute between both parties. On the other hand, inner struggles can be about yourself, your needs, and your wants. 

2. Aggression and loss of control

War dreams may also symbolize aggression and loss of self-control. In real life, dreaming of war means you are easily irritated and this conduct of yours makes you lose your temper. So, before you express your rage, gather your thoughts well to avoid further problems. 

Furthermore, war dreams may also represent your trait of being submissive. You are too forgiving, and that is why others try to take advantage of you.

3. Unhealthy environment

When you dream of wars, you might be facing unhealthy environments. These can either be in your home or workspace. Generally, these environments become unhealthy for you because there is too much conflict between the people in those areas.

Although you are not involved with this chaos or disorder, you are a witness and their disagreements affect your focus.

If you are a parent and you quarrel with your partner in real life, your children can dream about this war too. This is the reason why children witnessing these quarrels end up being in war zones.

If possible, try to flee from this environment as soon as possible to induce peace, focus, and positivity in your life.

4. Physical abuse

When you have experienced physical abuse, it is common for you to dream about war. War dreams are considered nightmares for victims of abuse.

Take note that the person fighting in your dreams has a great influence on your life. If you happen to know this person in real life, you might want to avoid him or her as much as possible. If you keep getting in touch with this person, you are putting yourself in danger.

Also, if you are with this person already, ask yourself: Is this relationship worth fighting for? If you are abused, probably, not.

5. Insecurity and sadness

Dreams about war can also signify insecurity and sadness. You might feel that you lack the abilities to take on bigger tasks and you feel like you are not born a leader.

Unfortunately, these feelings challenge your ego and make you fearful. So, if you ever dream of war, you are encouraged to work on your skills, sharpen your abilities, and love yourself to speed up your goal of achieving success.

Dreams Related to Global War

Generally, bigger wars happen globally and if you dream about these world wars, these can signify the pain you feel as you live your daily life.

1. Dreams about civil wars

Dreaming of civil wars represents a stressful period in your family or at your workplace. You feel like these environments are giving you too many burdens and responsibilities you cannot handle. 

Additionally, you feel pressured because you want to balance your financial responsibilities and social life. However, you are in a situation where you will have to choose only one of these two.

If you feel these, do not be frustrated. Learn to accept your current situation and prepare yourself for bigger events that are about to come. If you do this, you will easily adjust to these major changes.

2. Dreams about nuclear war

If you dream about nuclear war, you might be going through some situations that can provoke you from burning out. The tension you currently feel is already enough for you to give up.

However, these are only challenges. If you decide to surrender, you might feel regret in the future. So, as much as possible, stay calm and deal with these challenges one by one. 

The developments or improvements may not be seen in an instant but you will eventually observe these soon.

Moreover, dreams about nuclear war can also represent your emotions toward your partner. These negative emotions might be because of cheating or the traumas your partner has given you.

If you feel you are losing trust, learn to communicate and improve your relationship. If the issues are about the past, make sure to talk about these things and try to move forward with positive feelings.

3. Dreams about plane war and warships

When you dream of warplanes and warships, they can generally represent hardship because of some things you cannot control. Eventually, this can only lead to disappointment.

Thus, when you dream about this event, learn to act accordingly. If you want to be productive, use your resources to plan and make techniques as this will also save much of your time and energy.

Moreover, dreaming about these war materials can be a good sign of how you deal with the adversities of life. Even if you are struggling, you never stop until you reach your goals. You use your toughness to your advantage.

Take note that dreaming about warplanes and warships can also be a representation of a dispute between you and your partner. Unfortunately, if you do not sort things out, this can lead to separation.

Being in a war means risking your life. If you dream about being injured while in a war room, take this as a bad sign as this can represent a loved one who is about to hurt you in the future. However, you are also encouraged to understand this person.

On the other hand, if you dream about dying during a war no matter how hard you fought, take this as a reminder to stay dedicated. Remember that obstacles are always there. So, you have to take these obstacles as your steps to a happy and fulfilling life.

Sometimes, dreaming about casualties during a war can also signify your troubled past and enemies. The traumas they have given you are not completely healed. For this reason, you are called to accept these events as this is the only way to live peacefully. 

Dreaming About War Movies

According to a study from the United Kingdom, when we sleep, our subconscious mind processes the things we recently experienced. So, war movies are common especially when you like the movie you have watched. 

However, this dream can also represent prosperity and you must face the obstacles that are bound to happen to reach this prosperous time. Be prepared and address these struggles with confidence and positivity.

There are also opinions that dreaming of these war movies may give different meanings depending on where the war is. If it is a war in the heavens, it could mean that you are in a situation where the people around you are not reliable.

Escaping War Violence Dream Meaning

If you dream about war and you are trying to escape, this is a sign that you are looking for a break. You want to rest because you have been confused and exhausted the past few days of your life and you cannot find solutions anymore.

If you dream about this, resolve your problems by taking a vacation or confronting the people behind your drained mind.

Dreaming About Tug of War

Dreaming about war games, such as tug of war, and you win in this game is a positive sign. If you are currently facing a challenge, you will overcome this challenge. However, when you lose, an unexpected loss might occur.

For this reason, you are encouraged not to take risks. Do not let your cloudy thoughts alter your focus or else you will surely be defeated.

Dreaming About Constant Wars

If you dream about constant wars or several wires, you might be experiencing a stressful situation in life, and this one problem leads to another problem which is why you tend to receive all the negative energies.
