Islamic Interpretation
In a vision, a pavilion signifies a person who holds authority or command. Witnessing a pavilion also denotes prevailing over one's adversary. A canopy within a dream represents an individual of lesser authority than a commander, a dome indicates someone of a still lower rank, and a tent suggests a position inferior to that of a dome. If a commander is observed departing from his pavilion, it portends a diminishment of his power or his impending death. Pavilions of unfamiliar make, particularly those in green or white hues, symbolize recovery from illness, charitable bequests, presents, martyrdom, visiting the tombs of the pious, or undertaking a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
