Discover the dream symbol interpretation and spiritual meaning

Western/Modern

Dreams are often known to be attacked or fight a Jinn inside their house in dreams. Usually these spirits or demons represent unconscious negative forces that seem to possess the dreamer. This is not an actual possession but rather a metaphoric one relating to bad behaviors, negative traits, addictions and negative emotions. Once it is in your house it becomes a part of the mind or psyche of the dreamer. Once you are fighting the jinn it becomes a positive symbol that you have now made this unknown force conscious to you.

Islamic (Ibn Sirin)

A creation from a smokeless fire. Among the Jinn, some are believers while others are satans. This is in contrast to human beings who are created from earth and among them some are believers and others are human satans. Jinn in a dream represent fraud, deceit, cunning, perfidy, treachery, theft, alcoholism, invented religious practices, travels, music, bars, tricks, sleight of hand, illusion, sorcery and magic.
