Islamic Interpretation
Seeing one’s father in a dream signifies fulfillment of goals and the attainment of what the dreamer seeks. Dreams in which parents, grandparents, or close relatives appear are among the most beneficial and reassuring visions, as they carry meanings of support, blessing, and guidance. If a person who is in need of help sees his father in a dream, it indicates that assistance will reach him from unexpected and unseen sources. If the dreamer is waiting for someone to return from a journey and sees his father in the dream, it foretells the safe and imminent arrival of that person. If the dreamer is ill, seeing his father signifies recovery and restoration of health. If one sees that his father is granted a residence surrounded by high and secure fences, it means that the dreamer will inherit his father’s responsibilities, continue his work, and faithfully manage what his father has left behind in this world.
