I am a member of a band and we have just played a concert. We are on a bus with everyone who attended the show and there is another bus behind us. We have been forced onto the buses by the government, who were offended by the content of our music. I am not surprised by this, although the one other member of the band that stands out is beginning to freak out. We drive for a long time, though it also passes quickly.
When we arrive, I am on the first bus and we are unloaded by men with green rifles across their backs. The men themslves are indistinct, but I can remember their guns. Some people in the line ahead of me go into the building, which is a cheap structure of corrogated tin with no windows. I know that it is a killing shed and I say to the people around me, " Do not go in. Whatever you do, do not go in!" When my turn comes, I make a break for it and run with the other band members, who were with me in the line. We make it some distance away without being shot.
The dream begins again. All the details are the same -- the bus, the hysterical band member (who is indistinct, except for her hair, which is the same as my mother's), the concert. But this time I know what's going to happen, so I warn the people on my bus. When it is my turn to get off the bus, I scream to the other busload of people, "Do not go in the shed - they will kill you!" More of us get away this time.
The dream begins again...

Aren't circular dreams weird? I mean, i've never had one myself, but I've seen enough of them portrayed in TV and movies. Can you really change the outcome each time around? Two movies come to mind, (which I place in quotation because I can't seem to italicize), "Groundhog Day" and "Dead of Night." "Dead of Night" is a really really awesome old movie, actually around the 30's, and I recommend everyone should go out and watch it because it is about dreams and strange occurences-- you will not be disappointed (this movie freaked the crap out of me as a kid).

Your mind seems to want to alter an experience (possibly?) that seems to have horrified you or changed in some way that I personally would have to believe to be negative. The woman in the dream may be a composite figure formed by the protective position of a mother and another female individual you know or even the concept of guilt or shame. The nervous female character is often times (in my experiences) the individual who can predict the future and is therefor "sweating bullets".
Circular dreams are interesting. I believe that their main focus is on the change occuring and what is being re-written and why.
Others parts of this dream that deal with war graphics could be stored images that your brain finds hard to ignore.
Do I make some sort of sense? I hope so.
