Wrestling Dream Meaning
Dream interpretation
If you dream of being defeated in wrestling, it indicates that your financial situation may worsen. However, don't worry, as this dream suggests that you will achieve success later on. Wrestling symbolizes your struggle against adversities, and ultimately, you will emerge victorious. It represents your determination and resolve.
Ibn Sirin
Wrestling — Islamic interpretation
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Wrestling" (page 482).
If one sees himself wrestled to the ground in a dream, it means that he may lose his wealth. However, the one who is wrestled to the ground in the dream will ultimately be victorious. The winner in the dream is
the loser in wakefulness. Ifthere is a witness during the fight, then it could mean that the winner in the dream may become the winner in wakefulness. This could also happen if the winner in the dream has better preparedness, or if he is fighting for his food, such as in a struggle between a beast and a human being. If one sees two friends fighting a wrestling match in a dream, the loser in the dream has better standing in wakefulness. Wrestling in a dream also could mean a sickness that may befall the loser, or it could denote the consequences of an illness. If one sees himself battling with a beast, and if he kills the beast in the dream, it means relief from difficulties and dispelling of his sorrows and sufferings. Ifone reaches the throes of death in his fight in the dream, it means that he will triumph over his enemies. (Also see Wrestling match)
Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
