Doomsday Dream Meaning

Dream interpretation

Dreaming of doomsday signifies a reckoning of life's final moments. It reflects your awareness of various aspects of your life. If you see someone being judged in this dream, it mirrors your contemplation of the consequences of your decisions and actions. Such dreams may encourage you to take responsibility for your deeds and inspire you to make better choices in the future.

Ibn Sirin

Doomsday — Islamic interpretation

From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Doomsday" (page 125) — resolved via the equivalent "Reckoning" entry.

Seeing the reckoning of a deceased person in a dream denotes his sufferings in the hereafter. If a

traveller is asked to account for his travel expenses, and if he is treated with kindness during the reading of his report in the dream, it means profits from his journey and a safe return to his homeland. Ifone reckons himself in a dream, it means that he will repent for his sins. If one is brought for judgment on the day of reckoning, and if his questioning is made easy in the dream, it means that God has blessed him to marry a pious wife who has love and compassion for him, and who cares about his interests. Ifhis questioning is strict and detailed in the dream, it means that he will incur losses. If a person sees himself questioned, probed and investigated in a court by people he does not recognize in the dream, it means that he has strayed into innovation, and that he will remain accountable for his actions. If he sees them well dressed and fragrant, congratulating him and greeting him with the salutation of peace: '''As-Saliimu Alaikum", then it is an indication ofhis righteousness and good deeds.
