This is what the dictionary says, if you haven't already seen it:
Quote:
War
Dreaming about a war or a battle suggests that the dreamer has internal conflict. One part of personality or psyche may be battling with another for control and the dream reflects this internal war. Another reason for dreaming about war is that you may be faced with a situation that requires you to be aggressive or assertive and to come to terms with opposition. War veterans and others who have experienced war first hand may, from time to time, have such dreams based on memory and trauma.

I think you should also bear in mind that war is featured a lot in the media at the moment, with terrorists and so on. I've had similar dreams recently; one where I was fighting in the Middle East, one in Bosnia, and another one during WWII. I wonder what was the setting for your dream? Do you think it's any reflection of recent news events. It's also the 60 year anniversery of the end or World War Two this year.
Still, you were on a jouney, which often represents an exploration of yourself or, more accurately, your journey through life and spiritual development. There's nothing mystical about it, just a subconscious idea of what a jouney is, going from one place to another with a purpose - in this case you were looking for something that will help you fly, which (flying) often represents spiritual freedom, not being tied down by the mundane routines of everyday life. Perhaps you feel that things are getting a bit too serious and there's too much official everyday stuff going on in your life right now, that your dreams are looking for a temporatry return to your responsibiltyless (is that a word?) childhood - suggesting you might need to play more, where the 'internal conflict', if there is one, is the one between wanting to play (have fun) and the need to get things done on a more serious level.
Does any of that make any sense?
