If you see an abattoir in your dream, it may symbolize loss in life or the return of the soul. It can also indicate bloodshed, the stripping of animal skins, and impurity. However, an abattoir can sometimes symbolize marriage or celebration as well. Dreaming of an abattoir might mean you are facing significant changes or reflecting on certain aspects of your life.
Ibn Sirin
Abattoir — Islamic interpretation
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Abattoir" (page 1) — resolved via the equivalent "Slaughterhouse" entry.
A slaughterhouse in a dream represents loss of lives, the return of souls to their Lord, bloodshed, skinning animals, or it could mean fetidness. A slaughterhouse in a dream also means weddings, festivities, celebrations and banquets, or it could represent tyranny, adultery, or a brothel. If a sick person sees himself entering a slaughterhouse in a dream, it means the
end of his life and the dividing of his assets after his death. If a healthy person enters a slaughterhouse and if his garment become stained with blood in a dream, it means a sickness, adversities, or debts. Ifone sees hogs or pigs being slaughtered therein, his dream means that he will witness the end ofinnovators, the contemptible, the evil ones, and the abominable people. Meanwhile, ifpeople are afraid of someone, the dream then signals the end of such a person. A slaughterhouse in a dream also represents a dungeon, a torture room, or a primitive prison. Entering a slaughterhouse in a dream may also mean that the police is investigating allegations related to such a person. A slaughterhouse in a dream also represents a procuress or a white slaver. (Also see Slaughter)
Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
