Delight Dream Meaning

Dream interpretation

Dreaming of feeling delight or joy indicates that there are deep traces of sadness or grief in your mind. When you enjoy a musical performance in your dream, it points to some challenging moments in your life. Such feelings also reflect your mental agility and quick thinking abilities. If you experience this type of dream, it reflects your efforts and intelligence in facing various challenges in your life.

Ibn Sirin

Delight — Islamic interpretation

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

Experiencing delight or overjoy from a musical performance in a dream means being moved by sorrow and grief. To feel overjoyed or raptured in a dream also suggests diligence, a quick mind, intelligence or awareness of someone who is known to be leaden, or it could mean a sudden change in the attitude of a stingy person as he turns to spending his money with generosity. The feeling of rapture or emotional ecstasy in a dream also means indulging in sin, becoming alcoholic, committing adultery, or it could mean love for God Almighty, turning toward Him in truth and with sincerity.

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