What Does It Mean to Dream About War?

Wars are very symbolic suggesting inner conflict that needs to be resolved. Most often the war takes place in our mind as you are trying to resolve two opposing negative factors. This is why it is quite common to escape from the war in your dream, but it can be seen as a negative symbol of avoidance. Alternatively, you may be escaping a very toxic or volatile environment. These conflicts might mirror past unresolved experiences, toxic relationships, work or family environments.
