Confrontation in dreams?

A main theme in my dreams is confrontation/pleading my case for something. The dreams vary greatly in situation and in cirstance, but the constant is that I'm either yelling at someone because I feel they've done something wrong/are making a bad decision, or I'm pleading with someone to listen to me and take my advice because they are going to make a mistake. And the other person is always extremely apathetic about my actions, they usually just grin and walk away from me, and I'm absolutely fuming! In reality, I'm not a confrontational person at all, I can't even remember the last time that I was in a fight. And I don't feel like I am controlling, either. I don't ever push my opinions on others (except in my dreams!). Why am I always dreaming like this and how can I make it stop?
