Psychology
A quarrel dream can be words and grievances swallowed by day finding a way out at night. Dreams are thought to help process emotion, releasing anger safely. What angered you matters more than who it was.
Folklore and history
Dream lore often reads a quarrel as a reverse dream, foretelling better relations. Some Sengoku-era domain laws punished both sides of a fight equally, reflecting an old Japanese urge to avoid open conflict.
Summer exploration of a ruin or mountain haunted spot often means a long walk in blazing sun, with a high risk of heatstroke and dehydration. Individually wrapped salt tablets are easy to keep in a backpack for quick salt intake alongside water, and easy to have on hand while waiting in the car too.

This site's view
In this site's view, what you said last matters more than winning. Ending on a victory means you want your rightness acknowledged; ending speechless means swallowed words are near their limit. Those raised to avoid conflict often rage hardest in dreams.
Going deeper: our reading
A surprisingly common version of this dream involves arguing with someone you no longer see, such as an old friend. The relationship ended long ago, yet you raise your voice as if continuing yesterday's row. In this site's reading, the mind is replaying a conversation that broke off unresolved. If the other person apologised, a wish to be acknowledged by them still lingers. If you apologised first, you may finally be forgiving your past self. The setting helps too: a row at the dinner table points to frustration with your role in the family, a quarrel over the phone to feelings that never quite reach someone far away. This is our speculation, but people who reach a reconciliation in the dream often wake oddly lighter, like ground that firms up after rain.

Turning a bad dream
In Japan, people once tried to turn a worrying dream for the better: a baku charm under the pillow, telling the dream to a nandina bush, or reciting an old dream-turning poem. Read the column on dream trading and dream-turning
Sudden rain during haunted-spot exploration can soak a backpack full of camera gear and batteries and cause equipment trouble. A waterproof cover that wraps around the whole backpack protects everything a rain poncho alone can't reach.
