Islamic Interpretation
A gulf in a dream symbolizes one’s supporters, close followers, or inner circle, and it may also represent a gateway when the seawater signifies such a meaning in the vision. If the water level of the gulf rises while the sea itself is at low tide, it indicates rebellion or unrest spreading across the land, and the same interpretation applies when the opposite situation is seen. A gulf also signifies refuge, protection, and safety from destruction or turmoil. Moreover, a gulf represents moderation and balance, a mediator, or an ordinary person whose level of righteousness or spirituality is measured by the ease and steadiness of his conduct, and it may also point to sincere and serious devotion.
