Dream interpretation of hazrat ibn sirin (may allah have mercy on him) said that holding a shield in one's hand in a dream indicates that one will find refuge from the king's people. and if the shield is seen with other weapons, it indicates a man who keeps his friends and brothers protected from evil. and if it is seen that the shield is placed on the ground, it indicates that one will have the company of a virtuous person. hazrat jafar sadiq (may allah have mercy on him) stated that seeing a shield in a dream can indicate six things: (1) brother, (2) friend, (3) strength, (4) son, (5) safety, (6) according to the greatness of the shield, support and protection.
