A fight in a dream is inner conflict made visible: two forces, desires or people struggling. Who you fight, and how, shows what is at stake.
When the dream feels light
Winning a fair fight speaks of courage, self-assertion and conflict resolved.
When the dream feels dark
Losing or being unable to strike points to powerlessness, suppressed anger or a conflict you avoid.
Ask yourself
What am I really fighting for?

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.
