This poem seems to be about an older person remembering their ‘war-age’. The poem discusses some regrets that the speaker has in looking back. Some of the memories seem to be haunting, in his/her dreams. I say haunting, because the speaker presumably wanted to forget about his/her war experiences, however the dreams are recalling what they have wanted to forget.

If that's the case, why do you think that this person was trying to forget his war experiences? In other posts, people have said that they believe he is nostalgic for his younger years when he could join in jousting and battle. Any thoughts on this?
