I keep having this re- accuring dream about my dad struggling with some martial arts guy in a battle of life or death. I know that the dream is about my dad fighting for the life of his kids. I see him being beaten and kicked off a small cliff, just enough to knock him out. That scene always makes me scared for some reason because at that point in the dream, the rock floor starts to come apart like an earth quake. He's all confused and half couscous. The bad guy goes up to him and finishes him off by beating him in the chest a bunch of times. Every time this happens I can't do anything about it. I wake up feeling sad and depressed for about half the morning. I wonder what this means?
The father-image, closely linked with the symbolism of the masculine
principle, corresponds to consciousness as opposed to the maternal implications
of the unconscious. The symbolic representation of the father is based upon the
Elements of air and fire, and also heaven, light, thunderbolts and weapons (56).
Just as heroism is a spiritual activity proper to the son, so dominion is the power
peculiar to the father (17). Because of this, and also because he stands for the
force of tradition (32), he represents the world of moral commandments and
prohibitions restraining the forces of the instincts (31) and subversion.

Dreams with fathers in them can be looked at on several different levels. You may be dreaming about your father and expressing your feelings about him in a safe way.

All things that flow and grow were regarded in early religions as a symbol
of life: fire represented the vital craving for nourishment, water was chosen for its
fertilizing powers, plants because of their verdure in spring-time. Now, all—or
very nearly all—symbols of life are also symbolic of death. Media vita in morte
sumus, observed the mediaeval monk, to which modern science has replied La vie
c’est la mort (Claude Bernard). Thus, fire is the destroyer, while water in its
various forms signifies dissolution, as suggested in the Psalms. In legend and
folklore, the Origin of life—or the source of the renewal of the life forces—takes
the form of caves and caverns where wondrous torrents and springs well up (38).
