Fight
Fighting in dreams often reflects an inner tension — some part of yourself wrestling with another, or an external conflict you're rehearsing while you sleep. Whether you win or lose may matter less than noticing what feels worth defending, and whether the struggle itself reveals something you've been avoiding in waking life.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for fight, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream that you engage in a fight, denotes that you will have unpleasant encounters with your business opponents, and law suits threaten you.
To see fighting, denotes that you are squandering your time and money. For women, this dream is a warning against slander and gossip.
For a young woman to see her lover fighting, is a sign of his unworthiness.
To dream that you are defeated in a fight, signifies that you will lose your right to property.
To whip your assailant, denotes that you will, by courage and perseverance, win honor and wealth in spite of opposition.
To dream that you see two men fighting with pistols, denotes many worries and perplexities, while no real loss is involved in the dream, yet but small profit is predicted and some unpleasantness is denoted.
To dream that you are on your way home and negroes attack you with razors, you will be disappointed in your business, you will be much vexed with servants, and home associations will be unpleasant.
To dream that you are fighting negroes, you will be annoyed by them or by some one of low character.
Fontaine, 1862
If you dream of being engaged in a fight, it foretells to a man of business that he will soon engage in some new enterprise that will be successful; to a laboring man, it predicts increased pay.
