Islamic Interpretation
If one sees himself as a prisoner being sold in a slave market in a dream, it means honour if the buyer is a woman, and difficulties if the buyer is a man. The higher the price he is auctioned for, the better or worse his luck is. In a dream, the more loss the buyer incurs, the better it is for the traded subject and vice versa. There is also a difference between seeing oneself being auctioned and being sold. Being auctioned in a dream means evil. To sell means to part with. In a dream, the buyer is the seller, and the seller is a buyer. Selling means giving preference and value to the merchandise. If what is being sold is worldly, the preference is then given to one's benefits in the hereafter. Selling in a dream also means exchanging one condition with another. However, bartering in a dream means to exchange the benefit of things, or to share them. For example, one sees oneself in a dream trading something of no value for something precious, and if one is a warrior, it means that he will die as a martyr. Selling a free man in a dream means rotation of power and reaching a praiseworthy end. As it happened in the story of Joseph, son of Jacob, upon both of them be peace. (See Introduction)
