Dream About Fighting Shopkeeper

Raven, your dream about fighting with a shopkeeper and then running away followed by him is quite intriguing. The shopkeeper might symbolize an authority figure or someone who represents societal norms and expectations. The act of fighting with him and twisting his leg suggests a deep-seated conflict within you—perhaps a struggle against restrictive or oppressive forces in your life. This could be related to your recent life changes, such as financial stress, relocation, and relationship difficulties. The physical altercation and the subsequent act of running away indicate a desire to escape from these pressures, but also a fear that these issues are persistent and follow you despite your efforts to evade them. The fact that you twisted his leg and he fell before pursuing you might represent a temporary victory or a small breakthrough in overcoming these challenges, but the chase that ensues signifies that the resolution is not complete, and these issues continue to haunt you. The shopkeeper following you might also signify your own internalized sense of guilt or responsibility. Even when you try to escape the situation, there’s a part of you that feels accountable or unable to fully detach from these problems. This pursuit could be a metaphor for your ongoing struggles with mental health, particularly your depression, which seems to be a recurring theme in your experiences. Additionally, the setting of the dream in a shop could symbolize transactions and exchanges, possibly reflecting your feelings about give-and-take in your relationships or your professional life.
