If you are fighting with an unknown figure, whether it’s an argument or an out-and-out fistfight, or if you’re participating in a free-for-all, this is a loud and clear message that major changes are on the way. Considering the dreamer’s circumstances as well as other symbols in the dream will reveal the nature of the change, and/or what the dreamer needs to do in order to face it.

Standing on the sidelines and watching other people fight indicates that the troubles of others may spill over into your life.

A dream of war indicates an inner battle.

The dreamer needs to look within and see what it is that’s keeping them from getting anywhere. Other symbols in the dream might help.
