Quarrel
A quarrel — sharp, angry conflict — often touches unhappiness and fierce altercation, with separation for the married, though some read it by contraries toward reconciliation. The dream may ask where strife is breaking out around you, and whether the heated clash will fracture a bond or, oddly, clear the air toward closeness.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for quarrel, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
Quarrels in dreams, portends unhappiness, and fierce altercations. To a young woman, it is the signal of fatal unpleasantries, and to a married woman it brings separation or continuous disagreements.
To hear others quarreling, denotes unsatisfactory business and disappointing trade.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of quarreling with a stranger, is a sign you will make a new friend or acquaintance; if you imagine that you quarrel with a friend, it shows that you will soon have a pleasant and agreeable time with him: lovers who dream of quarrels, will be apt to bill and coo harder than ever.
