Dreams about returning to college often symbolize a desire for growth, learning, or revisiting past experiences. The presence of a female roommate may represent aspects of your personality, such as nurturing, companionship, or collaboration.

Your mutual friend preparing to fight could indicate feelings of concern about conflict in your life or a need to protect those you care about. The fact that you felt the need to be present to help her suggests a strong sense of loyalty and responsibility towards your friends.

The fight itself might reflect internal or external conflicts that you or someone close to you is facing. Since your friend ended up handling the situation on her own, it could symbolize your awareness that others are capable of managing their challenges without your intervention.

Overall, this dream may encourage you to reflect on your relationships and the balance between support and independence. Consider whether there are areas in your life where you feel the need to step in or if you should allow others to take charge of their own conflicts.
