..................Last night I dreamt my wife and kids had been kidnapped by insurgents and I couldn't get to them, pinned down by small arms and unable to move due to being surrounded by ieds; my family died in my dream. Needless to say, I failed to sleep past 4.30 am.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wife
To see your wife in your dream signifies discord and unresolved issues. Pay attention to how you feel in the dream as it may highlight feelings that you are not expressing in your waking life.
Children
To see children in your dream signify an aspect of yourself and your childlike qualities. You may be retreating back to a childlike state and longing for the past. You are trying to still satisfy repressed desires and unfulfilled hopes. Perhaps there is something that you need to see grow and nurture. Take some time off and cater to the inner child within. Alternatively, the dream may be highlighting your innocence, purity, simplicity, and carefree attitude. If you are fighting with children, then it implies that you are repressing your inner child. The children could represent someone in your waking life (coworker, mate, sibling, etc.) who is acting like a child. If you see children fighting in your dream, then it means that your sense of morality and character are in conflict.
To dream that you are watching children but they do not know you are there is a metaphor for some hidden knowledge or some latent talent which you have failed to recognize.
Most dictionaries will not list IED so look for Bomb.
Bomb
To see a bomb in your dream indicates that you are going through a potentially explosive situation in your waking life. The bomb could represent repressed desires and unexpressed emotions that are on the verge of exploding or bursting if not dealt with soon.
To dream that you are unable to disarm a bomb suggests that your anger is out of control.
To dream of a bomb threat suggests that you are experiencing some inner anger and/or pressures which are on the verge of exploding into violence.
Small arms fire is also not going to be listed, so you need to break it dwon to its components.
Gun
To see a gun in your dream represents aggression, anger, and potential danger. You could be on the defensive about something. Or you may be dealing with issues of passiveness/aggressiveness and authority/dependence. Alternatively, a gun is a symbol of power and pride. Perhaps you are looking for shelter or protection in your dream. From a Freudian perspective, a gun represents the penis and male sexual drive. Thus, the gun may mean power or impotence, depending on whether the gun went off or misfired.
To dream that someone is shooting you with a gun suggests that you are experiencing some confrontation in your waking life. You feel victimized in a situation or that you are being targeted.
Shot
To dream that you are shot or being shot at represents a form of self-punishment that you may be subconsciously imposing on yourself. You may have done something that you are ashamed of or are not proud of. If you are shot and come back as a different person, then it indicates that you need to start fresh. You want to wipe the past away and literally become a new person.
Death
To dream about the death of a loved one suggests that you are lacking a certain aspect or quality that the loved one embodies. Ask yourself what makes this person special or what you like about them. It is that very quality that you are lacking in your own relationship or circumstances. Alternatively, the dream indicates that whatever that person represents has no part in your own life anymore. If you dream about the death of a child, then it implies that you need to let go of your immaturity and start being more serious. As your child reaches certain milestones and grows into an adult, dreaming of their death may be symbolic of their own self-discovery, transition and transformation into a new stage of life.
Even smelling things can have a meaning, you realy have to look at each item individualy to get an understanding of it, were you in a wood, on a urban street, a school it all builds the picture.
On a negative note, to dream that you die may represent involvement in deeply painful relationships or unhealthy, destructive behaviors. You may feeling depressed or feel strangled by a situation or person in your waking life. Perhaps your mind is preoccupied with someone who is terminally ill or dying. Alternatively, you may be trying to get out of some obligation, responsibility or other situation. You are desperately trying to escape from the demands of your daily life.
To see someone dying in your dream signifies that your feelings for that person are dead or that a significant change/loss is occurring in your relationship with that person. Alternatively, you may want to repress that aspect of yourself that is represented by the dying person. If you see a stranger die in your dream, then it implies that you are feeling detached from the changes that are happening around you.
To smell death in your dream refers to a situation that has long been dead. It is time to stop dwelling on the past and move on.
Dreams realy are your mind telling you where you are at Mentally and Emotionaly, and getting an understanding for them will help you more than you can imagine, you realy can learn what you need to do. Your head is trying to tell you "Yo Muppet, This ...... is causing a big problem in your life, Get a f*ckin`grip of it will you"
And then you wake up have a quick read and all of a sudde it`s "Ahh, I allready knew that" or "Fookin Hell I hadn`t realised that was a problem at the moment"
But you also need to remember that a lot of Meds will influence dreams aswell and feed you false info, they will cloud what your head is actualy trying to tell you so you get fed false Intel.
Hang tough Cocker
