- Selling:
If one sees himself as a prisoner being sold in a slave market in a dream, it means honor if the buyer is a woman, and difficulties if the buyer is a man. The higher the price he is auctioned for, the better or worse is his luck. In a dream, the more loss the buyer incurs, the better it is for the traded subject and vice- versa.
There is also a difference between seeing oneself being auctioned and being sold. Being auctioned in a dream means evil. To sell means to part with.
In a dream, the buyer is the seller and the seller is a buyer. Selling means giving preference and value to the merchandise. If what is being sold is worldly, the preference is then given to one’s benefits in the hereafter.
Selling in a dream also means exchanging one condition with another. However, bartering in a dream means to exchange the benefit of things, or to share them. If for example one sees himself in a dream trading something of no value for something precious, and if he is a warrior, it means that he will die as a martyr.
Selling a free man in a dream means rotation of power and reaching a praiseworthy end. As it happened in the story of Joseph son of Jacob, upon both of them be peace.

- Captivated:
Feeling captivated by something in a dream represents one’s love for money and wanting to amass the wealth of the entire world if he could. If one is fond of his own hair or ties, or if he sees himself as a collector of fine ties in the dream, it means that he is a professional business person who amasses large sums of money.
- Offspring:
(Helper; Loins; Offspring; Spinal column) In a dream, one’s backbone represents man’s helper or his right hand man. If one has a strong backbone in a dream, it represents his sedate manners, calm and serious composure. Whether one’s backbone is weak or strong in the dream, it could also represent his son.
If one finds his backbone strong in the dream, it means that he will develop wisdom or beget a son who will grow strong and become a just person. Perhaps one’s backbone could be interpreted to mean crucifixion, or it could mean marriage to a virgin. If one sees a tree growing from his backbone in a dream, it means an illness.
If a sick person sees his backbone turned into iron in a dream, it means recovering from his illness.

If a traveller sees a car in his dream, it means that his trip will take a slow turn and he will be delayed.

Practical Guidance for Understanding Your Underwater Dreams
- Reflect on Your Emotions
Begin by acknowledging the feelings you experienced in your dream. Were they positive or negative? Water often represents emotions in dreams, and understanding your emotional state during the dream can provide insight into its meaning.
Journaling about your dream immediately after waking can help you capture those emotions authentically. Consider how these feelings relate to your current life situation—do you feel overwhelmed, or are you seeking something more profound? Recognizing the connection between these emotions and your waking life can clarify the messages your subconscious is conveying.
- Consider Your Current Life Journey
Reflecting upon your personal circumstances can deepen your dream analysis. You might want to explore if you’re navigating significant changes or encounters that feel like an ‘underwater journey’ in your life. Think about recent transitions, whether they are emotional, social, or professional.
Is there a part of your life that feels submerged, perhaps an issue you’ve been avoiding? Use the dream as a mirror to identify what requires your attention and, like a submarine, dive deeper into self-discovery and growth.
- Explore Symbolic Interpretations
Take time to research dream symbols related to underwater travel. Each symbol can represent different aspects of your life—a submarine could indicate exploration, while water itself might illustrate emotions. Utilize resources such as Ibni Sirin’s interpretations to relate your dream to historical contexts, enhancing your understanding of its significance.
By exploring these symbols, you can uncover a more nuanced reading of your dream and how it connects to your personal journey.
