Dream interpretation
If you dream of seeing yourself as a merchant in a shop, busy with products, it signifies an important position in your career. This symbolizes your business skills and leadership abilities. If you are actively engaged in buying and selling, it indicates the arrival of success and new opportunities. Your hard work and initiative can lead you to achieve a special place in your field.
Ibn Sirin
Merchant — Islamic interpretation
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Merchant" (page 274).
Ifone sees himself as a store owner, sitting in his shop, surrounded with his merchandise, giving orders, buying and selling in a dream, it means a commanding post in his own field. If the person is not a businessman, but still sees himself in a dream carrying some trade tools such as a scale, a scoop, etcetera, it means financial balance in his life. Merchants in a dream also
represent travel, news, profits or a high position. A merchant in a dream also may represent a spendthrift, or negligence of several religious obligations set by God Almighty. A woman merchant in a dream represents an enemy. (Also see Grain merchant}
Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
