For those who actually have been involved in military action or any physical combat, dream of war zone is usual. Such dream happens because of PTSD (posttraumatic stress disorder), which is a mental health problem.  It can develop after experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening event, like combat, a natural disaster, a car accident, or even sexual assault. It is treatable by medical professionals.

For those who have not experienced actual real life events, which cause PTSD, the dreams can be induced by information about life-threatening events. Constant info flow from news or movies about threat of terrorism or war can invoke combating, fighting or killing dreams. Maybe due to hypersensitivity to what is seen on TV is perceived like real life dangers. Therefore a removal of disturbing news sources will give substantial result for nightmares elimination.
