Interpretation 1 — Ibn Seerin
If a believer sees himself defeated in a dream, it means that he will wear the helmet of a warrior and win the battle against his enemy. Ifone sees himself defeated and shows no fear in the dream, it means his death. Ifone sees soldiers retreating into a city to take shelter therein in a dream, it means that they will ultimately win their war, even if their cause is unjust or if they represented a tyrant, though they will ultimately have to pay for their crimes.
If one sees the soldiers of ajust ruler entering a city defeated in a dream, it means that they will surely be victorious over their enemy.

Interpretation 2 — Betty Bethards
Results from pushing in the wrong direction or in the wrong way, one not in your best interest.
A door is closed only for you to explore a better one. There is no such thing as failure or defeat, only opportunities for learning and growth. Ask what the positive lesson is in every experience; learn it and move on.
