Drawing Lots

Seeing the drawing of lots in a dream signifies striving to prevail and succeed in a matter, and indicates an irksome situation. Drawing lots with someone, and having the lot fall to oneself, signifies overcoming that person; losing the lot denotes sorrow.

Drawing lots in a dream is interpreted as troubles. Whoever sees in a dream that he is drawing lots in a certain place and that the lot falls to him will pay his debt to a person who is his debtor. If the lot falls to his debtor, the dreamer will fall into sorrow and enter a prison from which he cannot escape.

According to another narration: Drawing lots in a dream indicates troubles. Drawing lots signifies striving to prevail.

Whoever sees that he is drawing lots together with a man, and that the lot falls to him, will prevail over a person who is his debtor. If the lot falls to someone else, the dreamer will fall into sorrow and enter a prison from which he cannot escape.

Ibn Sirin: Drawing lots or betting in a dream indicates calamities, being scolded, being censured, or exaggeration. Winning a bet signifies prevailing over one’s enemy; losing it may indicate experiencing a hardship like lifelong imprisonment.

It provides early awareness; the person sees risks before they grow and can choose a more solid path.

Neglect, haste, untrustworthy people or uncontrolled behavior can increase the difficulty.

In the interpretation, the themes of success and reputation, work and responsibility, health and body, spiritual signs, the emotional tone in the dream, and how the symbol concludes in the dream should be evaluated together.
