Islamic Interpretation
Seeing waves or powerful swells in a dream signifies the approach of trials, hardships, and periods of distress. Such a vision serves as a warning of turbulence in one’s affairs and the arrival of consequences for wrongful actions or negligence. Waves in a dream may also represent divine retribution, testing one’s patience, faith, and moral conduct. The stronger and more violent the waves appear, the greater the severity of the trials and the accountability one may face. This dream calls for repentance, caution, and returning to righteousness before the trials fully unfold.
