Islamic Interpretation
Being distracted in a dream, particularly during prayer, denotes envy and a craving to seize the property of others, especially close friends or kin. Distraction by a snake or lion during prayers signals the need for vigilance regarding one's spouse or child. Such distraction represents worldly passions, desires, negligence, the pursuit of fleeting gains, and turning away from the everlasting rewards of the hereafter. (See also Delirium)
