Islamic Interpretation
(Companion, Duty, Aid) Being carried upon the shoulders of an adversary in a vision indicates performing an injustice or dishonorable deed against another. If no hostility exists and one rides upon a friend's shoulders, it signifies gaining something from that person. Bearing someone upon one's own shoulders suggests being under obligation to them. Transporting a deceitful person in this manner could point to employment involving timber, such as working at a sawmill or hauling lumber. The shoulders in a dream additionally symbolize one's mother and father, siblings, associates, social standing, or comeliness. Any condition affecting them will manifest in those corresponding areas. They may also represent a business partner, subordinate, helper, or intimate confidant. For someone imprisoned, broad shoulders denote a lengthy incarceration. Painful shoulders may indicate illness afflicting one's brothers. Shoulders further signify one's offspring or the burden and extent of duties one can bear. (Refer also to Body, Ride)
