Battle
To be in or see a battle in your dream, suggests that you are overworked. You need to give yourself a break. There is a conflict between your rational thinking and your irrational impulses.
Alternatively, it represents eroticism. You may be overly stimulated or you are trying to suppress your instinctual urges.
