We’ve been through some very rough times in the past, but the last couple of years have been awesome. My wife has expressed the same sentiment.
I will say, though, that earlier in the dream I have a very clear image of my wife. She is inside a house somewhere and I am with her.. in the dream I remember thinking that the smile she has on her face is one of utter joy.. one that I have missed. (which isn’t much of a stretch being that I have been decidedly out of the country for a couple of months now and she will be joining me in another couple of months.)

Yeah, I have no idea. What’s more, I know it could be a trick of the mind but.. something seems familiar about the whole raining storm of arrows thing.

“What are your feelings during this dream?”
The only prominent feeling in that part of the dream was sort of a hushed awe at the immense volume of the headless arrows.. sort of like witnessing a natural disaster.
“What do you feel while on the platform?”
I’m not actually on the platform. I am observing from a short distance away. The platform reminded me of a wooden fountain with everything removed but the base.
“Do you feel good about these men? Do you trust them? Distrust them?”
I feel no fear of the men. I neither trust or distrust them. I feel as if (at that point in the dream) I am simply observing an every day, commonplace ritual of some kind.
“What are your feelings about the renaissance? Does this seem magical to you, or ordinary?”
I never really thought about the renaissance except to say that I can’t stand girly movies about that time period.
“To me, the ritual nature of it sounds like a kind of rite of passage of some kind. It may mark a transition from one phase of life to another. Like a graduation or new job or marriage or divorce. You know there will be struggles in this transition, and you seek protection from the difficulties.”
Well, as I mentioned above, I transitioned out of country a couple of months ago. I don’t doubt you have something there.. the only thing I wonder at is that I wasn’t petrified and fearful in the dream.. mostly I was respectful and in awe of something so powerful occurring around me.
“I would tell you the deepest significance of your dream but alas, I have run out of space.”
Very funny.

“Obviously, you’re a Joe. When did you last deploy? Are you redeploying?”
It has been quite some time and will be quite some time until the next.
“Have you gone paintball shooting, hunting, or watched any movies that remind you of war lately?”
I’ve been watching 1930’s era John Wayne movies. No hunting or paintball.
“Did someone at work make a remark about such that you perhaps disregarded?”
It’s quite possible. In fact, we were discussing combat situations we had faced and the story I shared was about the time a mortar put a massive hole in the building I was in, killing some Joes and sending shrapnel into several people on all sides of me but seeming to go around myself and the buddy’s I was with. I suppose I discounted this as being the culprit as it happened years ago but you’ve reminded me that we had had that conversation.. that could very well be it.
“What’s important are the “arrows” and the “swarm”, not the people or the orbs.”
That’s what has me really curious. I hadn’t watched any movies, television shows.. anything that had flaming arrows in it. I dunno.. perhaps I am too curious about dreams… they are just dreams to other people.. but to me certain dreams just… stick out.. as if there is some meaning to them.
Now that I re-read this whole mystery train thread I think you may have hit the nail on the head @whiteliondreams .. of course the arrow thing is strange.. but arrows without heads could almost be construed as mortar rounds.. so strange.. our brains.
