Jailer

To see a jailer in a dream signifies one who digs graves.

(Also, to see a jailer in a dream signifies that an accident will occur through the hand of the dreamer. It denotes sorrow and distress on account of slander.

If one sees in a dream that he is in a detention house and speaking with jailers, it signifies that he is in distress; if one of the jailers says something to him, it signifies that he will soon be delivered from this distress; if the jailers lock him in a cell, it signifies that his affairs will go awry; and if they bring him out of a cell, it signifies that he will be delivered from distress.

To see oneself as a jailer in a dream signifies that one will now be delivered from all troubles. To see that one is in a detention house and encounters a jailer signifies that, because one is among a large family, one is greatly weary, that this life has become exceedingly tedious for one, and that one’s heart is constricted because one cannot live under such oppression for a long time.

According to another narration, to see a jailer in a dream signifies distress. If one sees that the jailers have locked him in a cell, it signifies that he will suffer material and spiritual harm. To see a jailer also signifies a tyrannical husband and an ill-tempered woman.

Ibn Sirin: To see a jailer in a dream signifies a grave-digger, one who reminds people of the torment of the grave, or a debt collector. A jailer is sometimes interpreted as one who keeps secrets.)

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 work and responsibility, success and reputation, the emotional tone in the dream, and how the symbol concludes in the dream should be evaluated together.
