Dreaming of a Battle

battle · mixed, mostly a hard-won victory

A battle speaks of difficulties to overcome, a change of path and hidden enemies.

What happens in the dream

  • A battle in general: struggling with difficulties, but final victory
  • If you are in the military: a promotion
  • You are defeated: other people's bad deals will spoil your prospects
  • You fight in or watch a battle: you will start something new and leave your current line of work
  • If you are single: you will meet someone who greatly interests you
  • A battle in the streets: beware of secret enemies, and perhaps an unfaithful partner

How you felt

  • Tension: the dream often reflects a conflict, inside or out
  • Determination: a wish to fight for what matters

Ask yourself

  • What battle am I fighting at the moment?
  • Is it a fight worth having?
