What Does Wanted Mean in Dreams?

Discover the dream symbol interpretation and spiritual meaning

Western/Modern

In most cases we are being wanted by police in our dreams that represents avoidance towards something of authority. The police are symbols in your life that are comprised of rules, power and feelings of guilt. The fact you are running away or wanted shows you would rather not face this problem that is present in your life. The dream will most likely be on repeat until you identity with what you might be running from your life.

Islamic (Ibn Sirin)

In a dream, pursuit means one’s destiny, or death. If one sees himself wanted by his enemy in a dream, it means that he may die shortly. On the other hand, pursuit in a dream also could represent things that foster one’s pride, such as knowledge, schooling, degrees, money, or work. If one sees himself pursued by someone in a dream, it means sorrow and distress. Pursuit in a dream also represents one’s goal in life. If one is not a fugitive, then to see himself wanted in a dream means appeasement of his fears. If one sees an ugly looking person searching for him in a dream, he then represents an unwanted catastrophe, or a mishap. If one is caught by his claimant, then it means increase of his fears. If one sees himself pursuing something, or seeking to get something in a dream, it means that he will attain his goal or at least a part of it.
