Absolutely nothing.
There are as many different opinions for interpretation of dreams as there are people that do it. It depends on who you ask.
The mechanism of why we dream is not fully understood, by anyone. That it is a function of the sub-conscious is fairly well agreed upon but there are many theories as to why and how we dream.
People arrive at different solutions with the conscious mind when presented with the same data, it is far more difficult to explain the functioning of the unconscious one.
It is, however, a practical certainty that there is no pre-cognition involved.

(The US was only in the war one year) Had they been in from l9l4, kill tallies would have been much larger. ) Only one US designed and made pursuit (Fighter) plane was used in the War, this being the Thomas Morse or ( Tommy Morse). Most American airmen flew French Spads or Nieuports with Yank Markings.
What was a group of distinguished African Americans soldiers in world war 1?
Yes, absolutely, and with distinction. Unfortunately, due to prejudice and due to the fact that America was still segregated, even the most educated black soldiers were given the most menial jobs; they were also expected to endure frequent discrimination from white officers, especially southern white officers who believed black soldiers lacked intelligence. But despite that, there were large numbers of black soldiers (the term "African-American" was not yet in common use; they were either called negro, or colored, or black) during World War 1, and by all accounts, they did a commendable job.

Arguably the Germans. Their planes dominated the air war until 1917 with the arrival of the French Spad and the British Sopwith Pup / Camel and the SE5A. Their designs were simply much, much better than the English ones were. Germany built many good fight planes. One of the best built later in the war was the Fokker D-VII. Italy became a leading nation in aviation design and accomplishments after the war. During the war, they produced a scout/fighter plane that some say rivaled the German Fokker that was called Ansaldo SV-5. Really cool airplane.
How did the image of the western front change late in World War I?
During World War I, the image of the Western Front changed late in the war especially through the arrival of 'the Yanks' of the United States.

Combined with arms and supplies, these distinctly American qualities contributed greatly to the victory soon achieved in the conflict.

What did the men do for work and what did the women do?
Depends on what period of time you're asking. Back in the day...a long time ago...women usually didn't have jobs. But if they did, it was usually nurses, or teachers and seamstress. Labeled as "women work" Women often gets paid waaay less. In fact, it's still like that today. There aren't a lot of female mechanics because we've stapled in our minds that that's "mans work"
If you're asking about a certain thing...I have no idea.
Why is an aerial engagement between fighter planes called a dogfight?
The reason is simple:
Historically, in aerial engagements between two fighter aircraft, the goal was to get to behind the tail of the enemy aircraft, allowing cannon fire to easily hit the target. They are called dogfights because of their resemblance to two dogs playing, trying to catch each other's tails.
Sacrifice is "GIVING." It's selflessness... thinking of someone other than yourself. It's the ultimate show of love for others, at all cost to oneself.
The selflessness of sacrifice is the one big lesson mankind needs to learn in order to "live together in harmony -- for ALL ETERNITY, once man is finally born into the Divine Immortal Family of God.
It's the one big lesson that the nature of selfish flesh resists with a passion; and the cause of all the world's misery and suffering. Selfish flesh: the opposite of sacrifice; envy, jealousy, lust and greed -- the enemies of love.
God is letting mankind [created in His image to one day be born into His Family] experience these negative emotions [spirit] and the manifestation of their sinful works, in order for man to one day "choose" which way he prefers -- to wallow in evil and wickedness, rebellious to everything God stands for. Or to "reject it" and seek the salvation of his Creator, to blot out all of his sins that He might save him from sin's "wages;" death.
Learning to "sacrifice" is "learning how to Love."
And unless men learn how to Love one another [and his Creator: NOT in that order]... he will not be granted God's Gift of Eternal Life. And most people would agree that Life [especially the prospective Divine Gift of Eternal Life; the Future God has planned for His creation... His Children] is very important.
