Islamic Interpretation
In a dream, a stretcher or a dolly represents a hard-working person who earns his livelihood through toil, hardship, and enduring suffering. It symbolizes laborious effort, burden-bearing, and a life sustained through struggle rather than ease. There is little benefit or glad tidings in seeing a stretcher in a dream, for it often points to sorrow or unfavorable outcomes. If one sees a stretcher being brought before a sick person in a dream, it signifies that the sick person’s death is near and that he will soon depart from this world. A stretcher in a dream may also represent an abode, lodging, or hostel, symbolizing a temporary dwelling, transition, or a place of passage rather than permanence.
