Knot Dream Meaning
Dream interpretation
Dreaming of a knot signifies involvement in business. If you tie a knot in a shirt, it indicates the beginning of a new chapter in your career. Tying knots with ropes expresses a religious commitment, symbolizing your steadfastness to your beliefs and morals. Tying a knot with a handkerchief means you have the desire to give or help someone.
Ibn Sirin
Knot — Islamic interpretation
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Knot" (page 245).
To make a knot in one's shirt in a dream means engaging in business. Tying a knot with a rope in a dream represents one's religious commitment. Tying a knot with a handkerchief in a dream means giving fringe benefits to a servant or to an employee. Tying a belt over a pair of pants in a dream means marriage. Tying a knot with a thread in a dream means asserting one's intention, or stipulating one's plan, or it could mean sorcery and an evil spell. Ifone sees himself tying a rope or a thread around a pouch or a bag and could not open it again, and if an unknown person comes by and unties the knot in the dream, it means distress, stress, uptightness, or suffering from political persecution, or financial adversities that will be lifted unexpectedly by God's leave. (Also see Contract; Thread; Tie; Untying something)
Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
