A view from above of a past scene of battle. The ground is very muddy with the tracks of past war vehicles. What is left of the neighborhood...

I'm a first time user. I was trying to recreate a scene in a dream that I have. In it is a large concrete pipe standing on end. Inside is a man pacing next to a desk reading a book. In the side of a pipe is an opening about the size of a double door. Outside is what is left of a battle that has moved on. Concrete houses, roofless and battle scarred. The ground is dark and muddy with tracks of crisscrossing military vehicles. The battle has moved on somewhere over the horizon. The meaning of the dream was this: Get in the fight. You can prepare, and there is nothing wrong with that, but don't let the battle pass you. Get in the fight.
