Retreat dream meaning is explained below using 6 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Ibn Seerin

(Sanctuary, Spiritual retreat. arb. I’tikaf) The place where one may see himself observing a spiritual retreat in a dream represents what the person is inclined to do.

If it is a mosque in the dream, it means blessings or a marriage to a righteous woman.

If one’s retreat takes place inside his own shop in the dream, it means that his business has become his primal concern. In a dream, a spiritual retreat represents devotion, prayers, hunger, votive fast, depression, humbling oneself, controlling one’s passions and desires. Ifone secludes himself in a known location in a dream, it means that such a place is a source ofcomfort. Ifone takes refuge in his shop in a dream, it means clinging to one’s livelihood.

Interpretation 2 — Betty Bethards

Low energy, need for nurturing. When retreating from a situation, you do not have the energy to deal with it and need to recharge. Being in a spiritual retreat, or restful setting, suggests the need to go within and draw upon inner resources for renewal and understanding; healing.

Psychological / emotional perspective: When we dream of retreating from something we may need to decide whether it is a forced withdrawal or a strategic move.

If the former then we may be under pressure, if the latter then we must formulate new plans.
