Ibn Sirin
Enemy — Islamic interpretation
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Enemy" (page 142).
To meet an enemy in a dream signifies honor, signing a treaty, rising above differences, receiving God's help and victory. Facing one's enemy in a dream also means befriending him. If one is threatened by his enemy in a dream, it means that he will win the upper hand. Ifone is promised good things by his enemy in a dream, it means that he will fall into his trap and lose his fight to him. Ifone's enemy advises him in a dream, it means that he will betray him. If one sees an enemy invading a land in a dream, it means that a destructive flood will devastate that place. Ifone's enemy confides to him or pleases him in a dream, it means that he will suffer distress and adversities. Ifone is captured for a ransom by his enemy in a dream, it means that he indulges in sins and that he is a hostage of his own sins. (Also see Blessings; Enmity; Introduction p. xxui)
Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
