What does darkness mean in a dream in Islam?
Ibn Sirin: In a dream, darkness means straying from God's path, being lost, committing an error, erring, confusion and perplexity.
Imam Ibn Sirin
In a dream, darkness means straying from God's path, being lost, committing an error, erring, confusion and perplexity. If one walks out of darkness into light in his dream, it means salvation, safety, guidance, repentance from sin or release from prison. Dark ness in a dream also represents an oppressor. Thus, walking into a dark place in a dream means being unjust. Obscurity in a dream means the darkness of one's heart or blindness. It also could mean loneliness, keeping to oneself or hiding from people. (Also see Injustice; Night)
