Sling Dream Meaning
Dream interpretation
Seeing a sling in your dream may indicate that changes are coming into your life. If you show a sling to someone who is ill, it could signify their transition to a new place or even death. The sling may also represent your release from the influence of a guardian or protector in your life. This dream could mark the beginning of new opportunities and challenges for you.
Ibn Sirin
Sling — Islamic interpretation
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Sling" (page 396) — resolved via the equivalent "Slingshot" entry.
Bringing a slingshot before a sick person in a dream means transporting him to a new place, or it could mean his death and burial. A slingshot in a dream also means removal of a guardian from his office, or recovering from drug addiction, or it may represent a messenger. Using a slingshot to cast stones at others in a dream also means rightly invoking a strong curse on them. If one sees a woman using a slingshot to throw stones at him in a dream, it means sorcery or witchcraft. A slingshot in a dream also denotes just and harsh words. Holding a slingshot and preparing to shoot in a dream represents one's strength and determination to say something just and true. If one carries a slingshot but adoes not use it to cast stones in the dream, it means that he will repent for his sin.
Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
