Ibn Sirin

Defeat — Islamic interpretation

Dream interpretation

If a believer sees himself defeated in a dream, it means that he will wear the helmet of a warrior and win the battle against his enemy. Ifone sees himself defeated and shows no fear in the dream, it means his death. Ifone sees soldiers retreating into a city to take shelter therein in a dream, it means that they will ultimately win their war, even if their cause is unjust or if they represented a tyrant, though they will ultimately have to pay for their crimes. If one sees the soldiers of ajust ruler entering a city defeated in a dream, it means that they will surely be victorious over their enemy. (Also see Losing a fight)

From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Defeat" (page 116).

Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.

These interpretations are reflective and cultural — not predictions, and not medical, psychological, financial, or other professional advice.
