Dead Soldier in dreams
A person trained for organised conflict — discipline in uniform, acting on orders larger than the self.
How dead changes the reading
The base reading of Soldier
A soldier in a dream is the dream's image of disciplined action carried out under orders larger than the individual. Soldiers do not have to agree with the campaign; the work of the soldier is to act within a structure. The dream brings the soldier when a part of your life — a career, a duty, a marriage — is currently being held together by the discipline of carrying out a task you did not personally design. A soldier in calm formation is the dream telling you the discipline is sustaining the structure. A soldier in open rebellion is the dream noting that the order has lost its hold, and the individual decision is now back in the room.
