ESSAY : What is the symbolic meaning of fights in dreams?

Fighting is often symbolic of aggression within your mind. So just try to think back to the day before the dream. Where was that aggression in your mind. It maybe associated with some resentment such as annoyance that someone ignores you. Look also for arguments and bureaucratic delays which upset you the day before. It maybe that you were just very irritable the day before.

Fighting can suggest that you are encountering injustice or extreme frustration in your life. That things are not going right. They may be related to issues regarding low self esteem. E.g.

"My former boss just ignored me. He always thought he was superior. It was really annoying and leaves me with a sense of low self esteem."[the dream on which this quote is based upon features in full at the end of this article]

"I was really annoyed at how my ex boss treated me. He just ignored me. He just thinks I am a failure. Thats just not the right way to act."[Dream symbol - Fighting group of men]

"I am realising that I am not the type of person who employers would consider to be ideal. Its something I am FIGHTING AGAINST. "[Dream symbol - Dreamer was a skeleton fighter in a RPG game]

"I have found out my ex boyfriend was lying to me for ages. Its something that really gets to me and I CANNOT STOP THINKING about it"[Dream symbol - fighting]

"My boyfriend just dumped me and I hate seeing her with him. Its something that I am having DIFFICULTY ACCEPTING"

Fighting may suggest that you are trying to combat something in your mind. You are trying to overcome feelings inside you. E.g.

"me and my boyfriend have both been divorced so we are a bit doubtful about getting serious"[Dream symbol - boyfriend fighting with ex]

"I have been trying to combat the constant boredom of being unemployed. I feel like I am about to go crazy. I then have to try to think of something to keep my mind occupied. "[Dream symbol - Fighting zombies]

"I have to start opening windows on a nighttime because I really do burn up in the summer. But its something I do not want to do because I really fear burglars"[Dream symbol - fighting burglar]

Fighting can suggest that you are openly expressing powerful emotions against someone you dislike. E.g.

"I have been trying to reason with her and calm her down. She is very passionate at the moment though and still is angry for being kicked out of the club. " [Dream symbol - Fight ]

"I have always hated my step dad but now he has split up with my mom I am feelings able to express that with my mom. I am able to let go of all those bad feelings I have built up against him"[Dream symbol - fight step dad]

"I am having to struggle with my neighbour who is constantly causing bad feelings. But I am scared of her so do not want to start an argument that I could lose"[Dream symbol - fight tigress]

But equally the fighting may suggest you are fighting to control emotions and stay out of fights. E.g.

"I am trying to avoid getting drawn into an argument between two friends"[Dream symbol - two animals fighting]

"My boss gave me a funny look the other day. I am wondering if I have done something to offend her"[Dream symbol - fighting with manager]

Fighting can link to struggles within your life and the ability to show great effort and determination with some work task or situation. E.g.

"I have been fighting an epic struggle to get this project finished. But now its over I will have to start to relax more"[Dream symbol - Fighting mans boat sinks]

"I am having to meet tough deadlines at work. Its a constant struggle"[Dream symbol - violence and fights]

"I tend to put a lot of effort and time into my work. I think I should slow the pace down. It may help me increase the quality of the work"[Dream symbol - refusing to fight a man]

DREAM TIP : Dreams are about our feelings. Often dreams will be triggered by specific events. But we can also get dreams triggered by our own feelings. Sometimes we just want to feel sorry for ourselves. We may be depressed all day. Our dreams may reflect some imaginery feelings of resentment within us.

SAMPLE DREAM
-----------------------------
THE DREAM I am in the old part of town. Much if the streets seem deserted. I then see boys who seem to be part of a gang. I know I am going to have to fight them. There was a general bad feel to this dream.

THE REALITY The dreamer had met her old boss the day before. She had visited her old workplace. She felt a bit annoyed because she did not receive the warm welcome she wanted. She felt a bit ignored.

DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer - "I felt really frustrated when I went back to my old workplace. I was virtually ignored. I tend to think of myself as being as an integral part of the team yet I felt really snubbed and a little worthless. It actually annoyed me a lot because I feel my boss never recognised me or my contribution."

THE INTERPRETATION Often its able to see what a dream links to by the emotions in it. Often if you felt some bad emotions the day before they will played out in a dream. In this case the dreamer did recognise those same emotions when she woke up. She had visited her old workplace the day before and felt a sense of rejection. She was ignored by some old coworkers.

The dreamers old workplace is within the old part of town where the dream takes place. The deserted streets could symbolise the feelings that she was rejected by people whom she used to mix with in the past.

Fighting in dreams can often link to bad feelings. They can link to resentments and feelings of rejection. The dreamer wanted her former coworkers to recognise the progress she had made in her life. She just felt rejected especially by one or two whom she always felt thought they were superior to her. It was all probably in her mind as its a busy environment. But dreams capture how we feel about something not the reality. She felt rejected and thats what the dream captured.

Symbolic Meanings
MEN : "thoughts about general behavior - the dreamer felt generally rejected"
FIGHT : "resentments and frustrations - the dreamer feels rejected because her former coworkers largely ignored her "
