Brother dream symbolism

Dreaming of your brother often represents an aspect of your own personality or your relationship with him.
He can symbolize your "shadow self," embodying traits (both good and bad) that you also possess but may not acknowledge.
A positive, supportive brother in a dream is a sign of self-acceptance and inner harmony.
Fighting with your brother can represent a real-life conflict with him or, more often, a major internal conflict within yourself.
An older brother can symbolize an authority figure, a protector, a mentor, or your more responsible, critical side.
A younger brother often represents your inner child, a more vulnerable, playful, or immature part of your personality.
The death of a brother in a dream is not a literal prediction; it symbolizes a major change in your relationship or the "death" of the part of yourself he represents.
If you don't have a brother in real life, the dream figure represents the qualities you associate with a brother (a peer, a rival, a protector).
A dream about your brother can be a call to connect with your masculine side (your 'animus'), related to action, competition, and protection.
Seeing your brother in trouble may reflect your real-life worries about him, or it can be a sign that a part of yourself is in danger.
A brother can symbolize competition and rivalry, especially if that was a theme in your childhood.

This dream encourages you to look at your relationship with competition and camaraderie.
A brother can symbolize a peer or an equal in your life's journey.
