Discover the dream symbol interpretation and spiritual meaning

Western/Modern

When you dream someone is insisting you give them ransom it implies that you have been deceived. You might be being held against your will until you pay up. If you are demanding ransom then you feel that you deserve to be treated better in your waking life.

Islamic (Ibn Sirin)

To meet an enemy in a dream signifies honor, signing a treaty, rising above differences, receiving God’s help and victory. Facing one’s enemy in a dream also means befriending him. If one is threatened by his enemy in a dream, it means that he will win the upper hand. If one is promised good things by his enemy in a dream, it means that he will fall into his trap and lose his fight to him. If one’s enemy advises him in a dream, it means that he will betray him. If one sees an enemy invading a land in a dream, it means that a destructive flood will devastate that place. If one’s enemy confides to him or pleases him in a dream, it means that he will suffer distress and adversities. If one is captured for a ransom by his enemy in a dream, it means that he indulges in sins and that he is a hostage of his own sins.
