Okay, so not too long ago, I had this dream that I was interviewing a WWII veteran. He died in the war. His name was Bryan. He was sitting on my little brothers bed, and I was just sitting across from him, and we were just talking. Nothing out of the ordinary. But he was telling me about his life. He was only about 25, he had three children, and a beautiful wife. He was sent to go to war, and he was actually not thinking it a bad thing, he wanted to protect his family.
but he died. He was shot. When I looked at him, I could even see where the wound was....he was shot in the heart. He had dirt on his face, and he was sweating. His uniform was dirty and soiled. He wanted his wife to know that he loved her, and was sorry he wouldn't be there to see his children grow up. (they were quite young.)
I find this dream very bizarre. When I woke up, I felt like somebody had been next to me while I was sleeping, but I got the smell of cigarettes in my nostrils. It was very odd.

Any clues on what this could mean?

It would make a good ghost story. Why WWII? Did you read or hear something recently about that time period? And did the man remind you of anyone you know in reality? If so, how do you feel when you think of this person or talk to this person? Does this person smoke?

No, it was really random, but it seems alot of my dreams are about WWII, so maybe I had a family member that died or something? But no, I don't know the man, he didn't remind me of anyone. And yes the man in my dream did smoke....alot.

Then perhaps the man is an archetype of your inner self. Is there a part of you that can relate to this man? Do you wish you could be, or feel a connection to him somehow? If he were to tell you a secret about himself, what would it be? You don't have to answer this on a public forum if you don't want to.

Hmmmmmmm....I really like your perspective on things, very interesting. I never thought of it that way. But I really don't see how I would relate to this man or anything. Wait! I did have an uncle that was in WWII....he was in D-Day. Might this hold any significance?

It might be significant if you feel it is.

lol Always so cryptic.
I'm not really sure.....I don't know how to explain any of it.
I asked my brother for advice, and he's highly into paranormal and he said someone might try to be contacting me, which I don't know if I believe.

It's all just really weird....

maybe this is tellin you that the life before, you were from the war. could happen
