Ok - here is the main dream I have, most of the time - not all the time, but most of the time.
I stand on a barren plateau, with two sheathed swords - one over my back and one at my side. I have a crimson cloak with a hood that engulfs my face in shadows. Shortly after I get acquainted with my surroundings, it begins to rain, the huge water drops falling down, with enough power to make red marks over unprotected skin. From the drenched, slippery rocks, a great colliseum emerges, with 300,000 strong Roman spectators, and the Pantheon Gods along with the Emperors of Rome sitting around the arena. As I gaze at my crowd, I notice that two Gods are missing - Mars and Minerva - the God and Goddess of War. From the two decorated entrances, the shining Gods emerge, clad in battle gear. I draw my swords, salute the Gods, and clash the battle. Mars, the more aggressive God, lunges at me first - and after several minutes of pitched combat, Mars pierces my side with a sword, then swings his Roman shield, hitting me over the head. Then, like the scene from 'The Last Samurai', when Mars was standing triumphantly over me, waiting to deal the last blow, I fling up my sword, and pierce the God's facemask, blood flowing, mingling with my own blood. As I lay gasping on the ground, I have to face one more enemy - Minerva. As I struggle up to face her, the match is called, and the Gods and Emperors unanimously hail me, and give me the Wooden Sword, and an Olive Wreath, as my wounds slowly begin to heal.

Well I am not an expert person thing but I would guess some of it has to do with how much you respect the culture (of Rome) and that you yearn to fight like being a soldier. You being hailed would be the reward of knowing that you defeated the enemy. So you want to be some sort of soldier (or in your future you may become one or some kind of fighter)

I was thinking that killing the god of war was signifigant, that you have an underlying desire for peace. But you don't kill the goddess, indicating that you know the conflict will never end. You are shrouded in darkness in the beginning on a barren plane, signifying that you feel surpressed, or alone. The lack of a shield is a good indicator that you have few defences if someone were to attack you verbally or otherwise, but the two swords show you are strongly offensive on the return, and like to pre-empt your opponent. the heavy rain is an indicator that something is weighing down your heart... a sin or something. Romans symbolize power, and the gods even more so. You have a great desire for power and wish to be noticed/exalted by power and with power. Mars pierces your side, indicating that you have (most likely) or will be hurt badly by war, but not badly enough to kill you spirit. And I've already explained about the two gods. The wooden sword and the wreath (are you sure it's not a laurel wreath?) are both roman symbols meaning freedom and strength, respectively. You fight for your freedom, and want the world to recognize your strength.
that's just what I think
