Arguing

The part that will not be silent

What it often means

Arguments in dreams are almost never about the surface subject — they are about what wants to be said and has been held back. Whether the argument is with a known person or a stranger, find the feeling beneath the words.

When it tends to appear

  • When conflict has not been addressed in waking life
  • When a part of yourself is in disagreement with another part
  • When you need to advocate for yourself and haven't

Sit with these questions

  1. 1

    What is the argument really about — beneath the words?

  2. 2

    What do you need to say that you have been withholding?

  3. 3

    Is this an external conflict or one you are having with yourself?
