Dreaming about fighting
A reading for meaning, not prophecy
A fight is read as conflict seeking resolution — in the East a clash in one's affairs (斗), in the West inner conflict between parts of the Self, in Ibn Sirin's tradition a dispute, rivalry, or a matter to be settled.

Three readings
In Chinese tradition · 周公解梦 · 斗
周公解梦 reads fighting as a clash in your affairs or relationships — a tension come to blows; to win marks a matter resolved in your favour, to lose a struggle to reconsider. The tradition reads the fight as pressure demanding release.
In Western psychology · Jungian
Jung would read the fight as inner conflict externalized — two parts of you (duty and desire, old self and new) at war, projected onto an opponent. Who you fight, and whether you reconcile, shows which parts of you are seeking peace.
In Islam · Ibn Sirin
Ibn Sirin read fighting as dispute, rivalry, or a contest of wills — its outcome the measure of how a waking conflict may resolve, and a prompt toward settling rather than escalating. Framed as meaning: what conflict in you, or around you, wants resolution?
