I win money in some kind of contest (forgot much of the details of the dream). But then my brother, B___, tries to take it from me, claiming that it's his. We proceed to have a horrible, screaming fight in which we're hurling insults and vehement swear words at each other. I feel my soul plunging into a black space that I don't want it to be in -- I love my brother, I can't let this come between us!
I wake up and wonder what I would do if this happened in real life. It in fact is sort of a replay of what happened with my mother about 20 years ago. She accused B___ of stealing her photo albums, and it turned into a screaming fight just like the one in this dream. I got involved, and started screaming, too. I remember feeling my heart sinking as I said awful things to my mom and she returned with words that were just as bad and worse.
I want to be prepared for situations like this, because I DON'T want to lose control of my temper. If I can stay calm and carefully discuss the problem with whoever it is that's trying to make me mad, they will NOT have succeeded in ruining my day. Because the worst thing that can happen to me on any given day, I feel, is to go into this dark, angry place in my soul when I lose my temper and start screaming.
