Scary dreams
Wow, man.. that whole thing gave me chills. Perhaps we should leave something like that to EchoRun to see and talk about.
*Dull, droning voice* You rang?

creepy dream
Yikes, okay... let me run through this one...
First, dreams don't always have just one meaning - different things can run together. For example, my dream can start off with me dreaming about a couple of cute blokes dancing on a table - that is just my brain having a bit of fun. Then the next bit of my dream could be me running away from some shadowy figure, which for me would mean a fear of something I need to face. Same dream, different meanings.
I think the most likely thing here is that your dream has two parts, the first bit in your room, and the second with that picture. I think the parts are connected, not just because they are part of the same dream. Trying to pin that connection down is tricky though.
First part: In the apartment bedroom. Fan is off... scruffy, dirty, angry...
The fact that what you described is completely contradictory to how to are when awake has me interested. Things denied when awake can manifest in dreams, as an attempt at release and expression. Fears, desires, impulses, memories and feelings can all show themselves.
Normally I would just say that you need to unwind, let go and stop being so 'neat', but something is telling me this isn't so simple. I think this is more of a fear then a simple repression, something you will have to be strong to face.
How do you feel about the image present in your dream of yourself? (you don't have to answer if it is too uncomfortable, but it's worth asking yourself anyway.)
Also, is your organisation/cleanliness is tied to your military experience, or does it pre-date it? Is it anything you associate with the military even if it did not cause it? (sorry, this thing kept sticking in my head, I had to ask)
Second part: photo.
I think this bit is self explanatory, especially given the timing.
That it stopped after your fathers death could possibly be explained in one of two ways: First, the warning has been given, no need for it to be repeated any more. Second, events have changed so that the warning is no longer needed.
Prophetic dreams or even waking visions can change events and have done many times. They have saved lives before, though not all things 'seen' are meant to be changed. The nature of the images presented of your farther and brother would have been impossible for you to prevent. However, your image would be possible for you to change, if it still lay in your future, and if you wanted to try acting on it. It could be that things have already changed to prevent that, which could be why the dream stopped, I don't know.
The problem with all this is when people let things like this rule them completely, especially the fear of it. Someone sees him or herself dead and spends the rest of their life fearing that event so if or when it comes they haven't lived as well as they could have.
My advice would be to sit and have a serious think about all this - given the other two events shown and come to pass, I would take it very seriously indeed.
If you are happy with your life in the military then carry on but make damn sure you live your life to the fullest while you do (something everyone would wise to do, to be honest).
If on the other hand you feel that a life outside the military would be better, that you want to move on or there is something you really want or need to do, then just leave. Put it behind you and carry on with the rest of your life. Simple as.
It's your choice, ultimately. Regardless of your dream, do what you feel is right for you - just make sure you are doing it for the right reasons.

I am still alive,
Thank goodness for that! Talking to a dead person online is a bit much even for a paranormal group! ;)
I'm sorry! I couldn't help myself!
