Islamic Interpretation
Seeing oneself being guarded in a dream signifies entanglement in complications related to one’s life, livelihood, safety, business affairs, or health, pointing to restrictions, worries, or dependence on others. If the dreamer is already facing hardship or distress, then this vision indicates relief, protection, and a reversal of conditions toward ease and improvement. Being guarded may also symbolize elevation in status, authority, or rank, as well as a state of peace and security for the one under protection, while at the same time signifying strain, burden, or hardship for the guard who carries the responsibility of watching over him.
