Simplified Meaning:
This quote talks about someone remembering the sounds of a battle when they dream. The loud noises of guns firing and the clattering of rifles come back to them vividly in their sleep. They also recall the unusual and sorrowful noises that are present during a fight. It's like the memories of being in that chaotic and tragic place visit them during the quiet of the night. This can happen to people who have been in wars; soldiers often have strong, lasting memories of the intense and distressing experiences they've had on the battlefield. These memories can be so powerful that they feel like they are back in that moment, even in their dreams.
