The Complete Dream Book

by Gillian Holloway
We read of Jacob’s wrestling with an angel in a dream; he, therefore, that dreams he is very forward to wrestie with another person shows some contention will follow, and that he will be outdone by some of his acquaintances in worldly affairs.

A woman who dreams she wrestles with her husband, will cenainly bring shame and sorrow into the family.

For children to wrestle with men is good. Wrestling in a dream with death denotes a long sickness and lawsuits.

A Dictionary of Dream Symbols

by Eric Ackroyd
(1) Wrestling may symbolize the struggle to survive, to make ends meet, or to solve other problems.

(2) It may symbolize a conflict between two components of your psvche: for example, between your conscious ego and some unconscious drive.

(3) It may symbolize sexual activity. (The playful romping of young couples in the park is a substitute for sex, or indeed an expression of sex. Young lovers love to tease and banter.)

Islamic Dream Interpretation

by Ibn Seerin
(Fight, Struggle) Ifone sees himself wrestled to the ground in a dream, it means that he may lose his wealth. However, the one who is wrestled to the ground in the dream will ultimately be victorious.

The winner in the dream is the loser in wakefulness. Ifthere is a witness during the fight, then it could mean that the winner in the dream may become the winner in wakefulness. This could also happen if the winner in the dream has better preparedness, or if he is fighting for his food, such as in a struggle between a beast and a human being.

If one sees two friends fighting a wrestling match in a dream, the loser in the dream has better standing in wakefulness. Wrestling in a dream also could mean a sickness that may befall the loser, or it could denote the consequences of an illness.

If one sees himself battling with a beast, and if he kills the beast in the dream, it means relief from difficulties and dispelling of his sorrows and sufferings. Ifone reaches the throes of death in his fight in the dream, it means that he will triumph over his enemies.
