Fortress
(Castle; Citadel; Stronghold) A fortress in a dream means obliterating
something from its roots or eliminating one’s trouble. A fortress in a dream also
represents a positive power that eliminates negative forces, or it could represent
good verses evil. Entering a fortress in a dream also could mean growing in piety
or developing ascetic detachment. Seeing a distant fortress in a dream means
travelling from one place to another and gaining fame. Taking refuge in a
fortress in a dream means victory. A fortress in a dream also means repenting
from one’s sins, or it could represent a great person. To conquer and capture a

Citadel
(Castle; Fortress; Stronghold) If a suitable person sees himself inside a
beautiful citadel in a dream, it means that he will be appointed as a leader, or
that he will he get married, have a child, buy a property, walk the path of the
believers, or repent of his sins. If one sees himself inside a citadel or a castle in
a dream, it means that he will be endowed with ascetic detachment from this
world and with piety, faith and abstinence from sin. His share will depend upon
that section of the citadel or castle where he stands in his dream. If one sees
himself wandering in a desolate region outside the castle in the dream, it means
that he will fall prey to his enemy. If one builds a castle or a citadel in his dream,
it means that he will guard himself from his enemy, protects his chastity,
property and person from adversities and humiliation. The opposite will take
effect if he sees himself demolishing such a castle or citadel. Seeing oneself
standing near the battlement in a dream, it means that he will benefit from a
brother, a son or a superior who will save his life. (Also see Castle; Fortress)

Castle
(Fortress; Stronghold) In a dream, a castle means using the vehicle of
truth. That is how the proverb: “Truth is a castle” came about. A castle in a
dream also represents its owners, an army’s fortification, or it may represent
knowledge, the Quran, or it could mean seeking refuge in God’s protection from
the evils of the accursed Satan and his armies, such as deities, preposterous or
exaggerated titles, etcetera. The towers of a castle in a dream represent the
leaders. Its battlement represents the solders and spies. Its gates represent the
guards. Its fortress represents the minister. Its hospices and barns represent
the clan or the coffers. It is also said that a castle in a dream could represent
an infallible and a strong person. Seeing it from a distance means rising in rank
or guarding one’s chastity. (Also see Citadel; Fortress)

(Home coming) The arrival home of a traveller in a dream signifies relief
after sustaining depression and distress, or it could mean recovering from an
illness, or regaining a stronghold. If one finds himself depressed and annoyed

to ask for something from someone, or needing others, or confronting the
unavoidable.
