Bell Dream Meaning
Dream interpretation
Seeing a bell in your dream generally signifies a signal or warning. If you are holding a bell, it may indicate that a conflict or turbulent situation is approaching in your life. Additionally, seeing a bell can suggest that you or someone around you is bringing important news or announcements. It can also symbolize changes in your life or new directions ahead.
Ibn Sirin
Bell — Islamic interpretation
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Bell" (page 37).
Possessing small bells in a dream means a fight, an argument or vain talk known of the person holding them. Seeing a bell in a dream represents the announcer or the forerunner of aruler. Generally speaking seeing a bell in a dream means that someone will bring glad tidings. If the bell is roped around the neck of an animal in the dream, it means travel. The bells of a church represent people one can seek their advice and follow their opinion. Bells in a dream also represent calling to prayers or preparing to meet one's enemies, or they could mean the arrival of a caravan or a shipment. Bells in a dream also represent abrogated books of revelations or tampering with God's revelations or they could represent past traditions. (Also see Hand bell)
Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
