It occurs to me that I titled this dream "fight with my brother" but there is also a truce in the dream, and a healing process (picking the staples and nails out of myself). Maybe what was significant to me at the time of dreaming this wasn't so much extra conflict that day, but instead having called a truce that day and engaged in healing. I'm not consciously aware of either thing, but they are plausibly something I was doing unconsciously.
