North African Town

This Story Comes From A Dreamer Like You...

This dream takes place in a North African desert type town. I'm dressed as a American civil war type uniform armed with a world war two type rifle. Throughout the dream we are at war but I'm not killing anyone but instead I'm given odd tasks. One of the tasks I was given was to collect sand bags and stack them. Another task was covertly searching buildings in the town for enemies but we never found any. While searching buildings we came across and elderly woman; who we then escorted to safety. I was also tasked with driving a tank through the city. At the end of the dream I was on top of a hill over looking the city and from this vantage point I was able to see the clashing of the two forces fighting for control of the city. On top of this hill I was with the commanding general of my army. When I started the dream I was visibly on the losing side of the battle but now the tides were turning in our favor.
