Fighting
Fighting in dreams represents conflict — with others, with yourself, or with aspects of your situation. The opponent reveals the nature of the conflict: fighting a stranger may represent internal conflict with your shadow, fighting a known person reflects real-life tension, fighting a monster represents battling overwhelming fears. The ability to fight back indicates your sense of agency in dealing with conflict.
House
Houses are one of the most significant dream symbols, almost always representing the dreamer's self or psyche. Different rooms represent different aspects of personality: the attic represents higher consciousness and memories, the basement represents the unconscious and repressed material, bedrooms represent intimate aspects of self, and the kitchen represents nourishment and creativity. The condition of the house reflects your self-perception.
