Anger in a dream is energy repressed by day: a limit crossed, an injustice or a need not expressed.
When the dream feels light
Expressing anger clearly speaks of self-assertion and limits set.
When the dream feels dark
Uncontrolled rage points to accumulated frustration or conflicts avoided.
Ask yourself
What limit of mine has been crossed?

The card of this dream
Five of Wands. Strife and rivalry, the clash of many wills. Five young men brandish wands at one another in a chaotic fight that looks more like a game than a war. It is competition, conflict and clashing ideas: friction that can sharpen you, if it does not wear you out.
