Spiritual Meaning:
When two opposing forces meet, particularly in the spiritual sense, this is pictured in dreams as conflict.

Psychological / Emotional Perspective:
Conflict suggests that two aspects of our personality are having difficulty in reconciling their needs and requirements. Conflict arises when the conscious self needs to make a choice between their differing needs.

Everyday Material Aspects:
The dream image of conflict arises when we are at odds with others in our everyday life. Sometimes a resolution can be reached in dreams which points the way to managing the external conflict.

Gender / Specific Meanings:
It is supposed that men are more logical in their thought processes and women more intuitive. However, when a woman dreams of a strategic response to a conflict she is accessing her more logical side. Conversely, when a man follows his own instincts he will be seeking an intuitive answer.
