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.
Sun
The sun is the supreme symbol of consciousness, vitality, and life force. A bright sun represents clarity, optimism, and success. A rising sun symbolizes new beginnings, while a setting sun represents completion and the transition to rest. An eclipse suggests temporary blockage of vitality or consciousness. In Jungian analysis, the sun represents the conscious ego and the illuminating power of awareness.
