Islamic Interpretation
In a dream, an army general symbolizes a well-known figure who is confident and fearless. If one sees himself appointed to such a command and is fit for it, the dream points to wealth, honour, and divine favour. If he is unqualified, it can foretell his death. For a poor person to become a general in a dream signals turmoil and raising his voice in protest. For a prisoner, it signifies freedom and release.
