Islamic Interpretation of Dreams (Ibn-i Sirin):
(Sanctuary; Spiritual retreat. arb.
Iâtikaf) The place where one may see himself observing a spiritual retreat in a dream represents what the person is inclined to do.
If it is a mosque in the dream, it means blessings or a marriage to a righteous woman.
If oneâs retreat takes place inside his own shop in the dream, it means that his business has become his primal concern.
In a dream, a spiritual retreat represents devotion, prayers, hunger, votive fast, depression, humbling oneself, controlling oneâs passions and desires.
Ifone secludes himself in a known location in a dream, it means that such a place is a source ofcomfort.
Ifone takes refuge in his shop in a dream, it means clinging to oneâs livelihood.
