Islamic Interpretation
To join combatants on the field of battle in a dream signifies that the dreamer is a sincere worshipper who faithfully performs his prayers and discharges his obligatory and voluntary alms. Witnessing people advancing toward the fray indicates they will be granted divine pardon, triumph, strength, and harmony among the faithful. Dying as a martyr in God's cause within a dream heralds delight, contentment, and well-being. Engaging in a maritime struggle in a dream, however, suggests impoverishment, defeat, and moving toward ruin. Prevailing in a sea battle against a despot signifies a renewal of religious devotion; it may also represent a protective zeal for one's wife or succeeding in a conflict to uphold one's parents' honor. Achieving victory on the land battlefield during such a struggle denotes gains in one's trade. Returning from a sacred war against a tyrant in a dream warns that one might forsake their religious duties or become undutiful to their parents—a grave transgression in Islam.
