You're NOT in the army now.

Nope. But I did take military training of some sort back in high school and college.

In this dream, I was hanging out in a park somewhere. It looked for all the world like Plaza Lawton because of the overhead bridge. It was early evening when this limo pulled up and from it emerged what looked like a wedding entourage. I remembered being thrilled about it short of saying, "Oh, I love weddings! Drinks all around!"

The groom and possibly the bride were probably military officers because the entourage wore formal military uniforms. They also had various military regalia decorating the park where I was. Under the bridge, there was a makeshift shrine. I remember walking up to the shrine out of curiosity. I was embarrassed to find out that the shrine was guarded by a soldier. I gave the shrine a quick salute and marched off as quickly as I could.

I saluted with my right arm but I remember one of the officers saluting wth his left and I wondered if that was permissible under military rules.
