I'm posting to to help out my sister with her dream.

---

Okay, so in my real life, I'm a mother of two young children, one is 8 months other is 22 months. My husband is in the military and about to deploy to afghan in a few weeks.

My dream starts off where I'm the one deployed and somehow or another my 8 month old daughter is with me. I argue with those in charge that there's been a mistake and that I'm not the one suppose to be there its my husband. Then I started to fight to go back with my child because she would need me. However, in the end I lost the fight and the were going to get my child on a plane back home (there were 3 other children there as well.) The children waited in an office as I tried to go back to my room. However, we were suddenly attacked by incoming bombs. I ran immediately to where my daughter was and took the 3 other kids and we hide in a small space probably behind a desk or somewhere.
However, a group of men found us anyway and took us all into what is known as a harem. We weren't tortured or anything but all of us became slaves you could say. At that point I woke up. All this took place during the day, I could remember the sun and the sand. However, in the distance I could see water for some reason.

The military/war aspect of your dream indicates a struggle. Your daugther symbolizes a 'newer' or younger aspect of your own thinking. Your husband represents an aspect of your actions or behavior. When you argue about who should be there, this shows that you would rather not think about a particular subject but instead, just stay active. This part of your dream shows how you have recently been dealing with a conflict regarding thinking about something (or someone), and actively doing something.
The three other children represent a part of your personality as it relates to creation/creativity. This shows that your creative mind/spirit is being restricted or held hostage by this conflict you've been having.
The bombs represent elements of uncontrolled change that turns your mental world upside down. The men who place you in slavery represent actions of yours that won't allow you to freely think and create.

Look over your life and see where you are finding yourself in conflict between thoughts and actions. See where you really try not to think about it so much and would rather do something to keep busy. Know that you have a creative mind and probably have some ideas you'd like to put into action. However, you can't because you've got yourself 'doing' stuff and now you feel like you can't get away from it all.

I hope this helps in some way. God bless.
