Soldiers

Soldiers marching often touch a period of flagrant excess paired with promotion above rivals, with serious complications if they're wounded. The dream may ask where disciplined, advancing force is lifting you past competitors even amid your indulgences, and whether sympathy for others' misfortune might outstrip your judgment.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
