Dreaming of fighting underwater - dream meaning with inherited lore

You wrestle with someone in a river, pool, sea, or another place with water. You get soaked and struggle to breathe, pushing the other person away or holding your ground more with your body than with words.

Korean lore: Traditionally, water has been compared to emotion and flowing energy, so fighting underwater has sometimes been interpreted as a sign of complicated feelings and tension in a relationship. If the dream ends with you coming out of the water, it can also be seen as an attempt to sort through emotions that have been held down. (In folk dream interpretations, water is often read as a symbol of emotional or everyday currents, while fighting represents the clash of energy that has built up.)

Through the mind: You may be going through a time when hurt or anxiety has grown so strong that it is hard to speak calmly as usual. The dream may reflect less a desire to defeat the other person than a wish to find room to breathe without being swept away by your emotions.
