Psychology
Fighting with a friend lets swallowed complaints find a voice. The closer the friend, the harder honesty feels for fear of breaking things. A fierce argument in a dream may show your heart wants a more honest bond.
Folklore and history
Dream readers often treat fighting with a friend as a reverse dream foretelling a closer bond. Some also note that choosing a friend to argue with shows your heart trusts them enough to let emotions out.

This site's view
In this site's view, notice whether you made up. Apologizing in the dream shows the bond can still mend. Waking in awkward silence suggests something unsaid has not cooled. If other friends watched silently, you may be worried about your place in the group.
Going deeper: our reading
A dream of fighting with a friend lands differently depending on how long you have known each other. With a childhood friend, it may reflect worry about whether the old bond can survive as you both change. With a newer friend, your mind may be testing how honest you can safely be. In this site's reading, the cause of the fight is also telling. A broken promise or a secret shared suggests a small snag of distrust in real life. A clash over careers or love may show your mind sensing, ahead of you, that your paths are beginning to part. This is our speculation, but this dream may be called a reverse dream because the people we can direct anger at are often the ones we trust most deeply. If it bothers you on waking, send them a casual message.
What to do on waking
Send that friend a short message for no reason. The dream fight can become a chance to renew the bond.
