Boy Dream Meaning
Dream interpretation
Seeing a boy in your dream signifies a hint of good news. If you dream of giving birth to a boy, it may indicate thoughts, understanding, or a sign of illness. Conversely, dreaming of giving birth to a girl suggests relief from worries or a reduction in stress. These dreams reflect various situations in your life and indicate changes in your mental state.
Ibn Sirin
Boy — Islamic interpretation
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Boy" (page 53).
Seeing a young boy in a dream means receiving glad tidings. Begetting a boy in a dream means worries, burdens or sickness, while giving birth to a girl in a dream means relief from distress or easing of one's difficulties. Carrying a young boy in a dream means carrying burdens. Giving birth to a boy in a dream also could mean having a helper. A beautiful looking young boy in a dream also signifies good luck and victory over one's enemy. Seeing a beautiful looking boy in a dream means that beautiful and pleasant things will take place in one's life, or it could mean satisfying one's needs. If one is called a teenager in a dream, it signifies the necessity to take a ritual ablution, or that something good or bad may take place in wakefulness.
Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
