Islamic Interpretation
In a dream, a griffin symbolizes an arrogant individual, an innovator, or a powerful figure who rejects the counsel of the faithful. If a griffin speaks to the dreamer, it indicates receiving money from someone in authority or becoming an aide to a strong person. When a griffin drops something upon someone, it signifies a divine favor delivered through a ruler. Riding a griffin means elevation in status and rank. Hunting or killing it points to deceiving another person, while selling it signifies oppressing someone. Capturing a griffin without trickery shows bravery and youthful courage. Embracing a griffin means marrying a beautiful woman. A griffin may also represent a beautiful woman, news arriving from afar, long journeys, or idle talk that mixes truth with falsehood.
