Defend yourself against it and you will overcome trouble. See yourself as the accuser and your personal relationships could be riding for a fall.

If you are accused by a woman, some upsetting news could be on the way; by a man, and you will have success in business beyond your wildest dreams. If the anger in your dream results in an argument, this can be a lucky sign.

Having an argument is an omen for a good and long life. But if it spills over into a full pitched battle, then some serious quarrels are forecast. Win the battle and your love life will go well. Lose, and the unwise business deals of others will hurt you in some way. Unlike being abused, beating in anger can be a good sign.

If you are beating or being beaten by friends or loved ones, it’s a good sign for personal affairs. But if strangers are involved, it’s a sign not to put things off. Beating animals or carpets is a warning to concentrate and try to get yourself organised – otherwise things will go wrong. If you suffer blows rather than an actual beating, you will make it up after the quarrel. Dish them out, and you will find something you thought you had lost.

An old-fashioned duel is a sure sign someone is making mischief. Sort them out before it causes trouble with family or friends. A more modern-day fight and there are a few people against you at the moment, aren’t there? If you win they won’t be able to do you any harm. See others fighting and it’s a sign you’re squandering your time and money on pleasures. Try and knuckle down to some hard work.

Direct anger at a friend and you will gain materially through a friend. But if the object of your anger is unknown, you will soon be celebrating some good news. Scream in anger and it’s a good sign for your closest concerns. Hear someone else scream, and distressing news will follow. Really fly into a rage and a temper tantrum could lose you an influential friend. If someone else is in a rage, calming them down suggests you could do with a change of pace or even a move.
