Anonymous,
Besides the stress from your mission I see three other possibilities from the dream. As I stated in my original post dreams have two or more interpretations or applications. This dream seem to have multiply applications. These three possibilities are separately in your dream by 'Flashes'.
The first of the three possibilities I see is the dream is addressing attitudes you may have toward the El Salvador troops. What are your feelings toward them? Were there experiences with them that may have caused you to develop an 'attitude' toward them?
In a deeper sense such emotions represent attitudes you hold toward yourself.
The second possibility I see concerns the 'danger' of your mission and the fears you and your have toward your well being. Consciously you do not show signs of concern but unconsciously it is in the back of your mind. The same may hold true for your mother although she may opening express her concerns in general. That is where the death of your brother comes in.
The experience of your brother's death is still 'hanging' on both your minds. You still carry these emotions around {bag}. The inclusion of your nephew may have personal associations which would may be related to concerns of well being {personal associations are seldom interpret-able}. He would represent a 'related aspect' of yourself in association with your brother. This too is probably addressing concerns about your well being.
The final aspect, and one I believe gets to the deeper aspects of he dream and your psyche. It seems to have to do with deep insecurities that began in childhood. This is, as much as the death of your brother and the stress of your mission to El Slavador, what makes the dream a 'nightmare'. Where there any experiences as a child you may be shielding yourself {rain coat} emotionally? Look back at your childhood and see what might be there. Your being in the armed forces suggest a strong masculine aspect. That could suggest a 'compensation' for experiences of insecurities stemming from childhood.
Let me know your thoughts, especially concerning the part about childhood experiences.

Thanks for the response.
Something I overlooked in your original post and I just now noticed was the prescription drugs you took. The drug cartel could be a comment on the doxycycline {as well as the real drug cartels}. That type drug could cause these type dreams. I am wondering if the drug could also alter the dream imagery as it has to do with symbolic representation.
Have you had nightmares prior to taking the prescribed medicine or before you went to ES? Dream images are usually speaking to emotional issues but when the normal brain functions are disrupted there could be an alteration of the dream. I've been interpreting dreams for quite some time but have seldom come across someone who has taken drugs that alter the normal dream and sleep functions. I can read dreams quite well but if the imagery is distorted by drugs that could disguise the normal function of dreams {which is to alert the dreamer to unresolved emotional issues}. Dream research in this area is still quite new. I've learned how to interpret dreams by actual experience a my Dream Forum and when something new comes up of this type it is most important to understand the reasons. Not that the drugs have altered the symbols but there is the possibility. Not having experience with this type of dream and prescription drugs I do want to learn as much as I can for future reference.
