Obstinacy Dream Meaning
Dream interpretation
In dreams, obstinacy symbolizes witnessing or engaging in wrongdoing. If you find yourself stubborn, demanding, or persistent in your dream, it suggests that you are avoiding something or turning away from a conflict. This reflects your attitude towards stress or discord in your life. Being obstinate may indicate a lack of determination or a disregard for your circumstances.
Ibn Sirin
Obstinacy — Islamic interpretation
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Obstinacy" (page 307).
Obstinacy in a dream means witnessing or committing evil in wakefulness. To be obstinate, demanding and persistent in a dream also means running away from something, or turning one's back to a fight, a dispute, an argument or a business. Obstinacy in a dream also may denote a presumptuous and an arrogant person who is disliked by people. Being obtrusive and obstinate in a dream also may mean being exasperated or annoyed about something, or that people dislike to be in his company and have serious reser vations about him. (Also see Obtrusive person)
Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
