THE DREAM The following are dreams from my collection which all include references to fights. I have tried to isolate the symbolic meaning of the fighting.

Fighting a group of men in a dream linked to the dreamer being annoyed at how his ex boss had treated him. He saw him by chance and he just ignored the dreamer. This made the dreamer feel like a failure - he felt his ex boss was someone whom he could rely upon as a friend yet when he ignored him it made him feel as if he could rely upon no one and that he was all alone in the world.

A dream with fighting in was triggered by the dreamer finding out her ex boyfriend was lying to her for a long time before they split. The fighting in the dream symbolised the dreamers feeling that she could not rely on someone. She simply could not stop thinking about this issue which caused her to really resent her ex.

A fighting dream linked to the dreamer just being dumped by her boyfriend. She hated seeing him with his new girlfriend.The fighting symbolised this difficulty in accepting and coming to terms with the break up.

A dream about her boyfriend fighting with his ex linked to the dreamer thinking about her new boyfriend. They had both gone through a divorce and so were a little doubtful about getting serious. The fighting symbolised how he was still bitter and hurt by his own divorce.

A dream fighting zombies linked to the dreamer trying to combat feelings of boredom due to being unemployed. He was finding it difficult to keep himself occupied and sometimes felt he was going crazy.

Fighting a burglar linked to the dreamer having to open windows at night because of the heat. He feared burglars and so he was worried about the possible consequences of him keeping his windows open. The fighting symbolised him thinking through the possibility of danger if he kept his windows open.

A fight in a dream linked to the dreamer trying to calm someone down. His friend was very passionate and angry about what had just happened to her.

Fighting a tigress linked to the dreamer struggling with his neighbour who was constantly causing bad feelings. He did not want to start an argument which he might lose. Fighting symbolised the constant tension this person caused.

Recurring dreams of violence and and fights in dreams linked to the dreamer having to meet tough deadlines at work. The fighting symbolised the constant struggle to meet work targets.

Refusing to fight a man in a dream linked to the dreamer putting a lot of effort into his work. He realised that he needed to slow down and put greater effort into improving the quality of the work.
