In this dream, the dreamer is in a banquet hall where they encounter their family and former United States marines. However, there is a strange absence of any symbols or references to the United States, and the marines themselves are not wearing anything that would identify them as such. This dream can be interpreted as a reflection of the dreamer’s feelings of rejection towards their national identity and the values associated with it. The dreamer’s attempt to share their faith with their family can also be seen as a desire to find a sense of belonging and purpose outside of their national identity. The hewn down tree, which was previously decorated to commemorate the marines, represents the dreamer’s feelings of loss and disconnection from their national identity. The marines in plain suits without ties symbolize the dreamer’s struggle to reconcile their former identity as a marine with their current rejection of national identity. This dream may be a call for the dreamer to explore their feelings towards their national identity and to find a way to integrate it with their spiritual beliefs. It may also be a reminder to trust in God and find true identity and purpose in Him, rather than in external factors such as national identity.
