Tent Dream Meaning
Dream interpretation
Dreaming of a tent signifies travel, new experiences, or change. If there are multiple tents, they symbolize clouds in the sky. If a tent covers someone, especially if they are a businessperson, it indicates that your business will prosper. Through the tent, you may encounter new opportunities that will enrich your life further.
Ibn Sirin
Tent — Islamic interpretation
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Tent" (page 432).
In a dream, a tent means travels, a grave, a wife or a house. A camp of tents in a dream represents clouds. If a tent is raised over someone, and ifhe is a merchant, it means that his business will grow. If he is a soldier, it means that he will rise in rank. Ifhe is unwed, it means that he will get married. If one sees a white tent raised beside his tent in a dream, it represents a righteous person who commands what is good and forbids what is evil. It also means that he will repent for a hideous sin. If one sees the moon inside his tent in a dream, it means that he will illicit sexual intercourse with a boy or with a young girl from a noble family. Seeing unknown white or green tents in a valley represent the graves of martyrs. (Also see Canopy; Pavilion)
Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
