Jealousy Dream Meaning
Dream interpretation
Dreaming of jealousy indicates potential losses in your life. Jealousy is a negative emotion that creates unrest among people. If you see someone feeling jealous of you, it may reflect a lack of self-confidence or tension in your relationships. However, if you triumph over jealousy in your dream, it suggests the possibility of improvement in your circumstances.
Ibn Sirin
Jealousy — Islamic interpretation
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Jealousy" (page 231).
Jealousy means losses for the one experiencing it in the dream. A jealous person has an evil quality, and jealousy is evil. If one who suffers from people's jealousy sees his condition improving in a dream, it means poverty, rancor, spite, black magic, or malice for the jealous person and benefits for the victim of jealousy. In a dream, jealousy also represents covetousness, grudges, avarice and love for the world. To devastate someone by looking at him with despise in a dream means that the assailant will suffer from the jealous eye of his victim. (Also see Jaundice)
Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
