Dreaming of jihad typically symbolizes your inner spiritual struggle. If you are participating in a battle, it indicates that you are aware of your life's purpose and ethics. Regular prayer and acts of charity are important for your spiritual growth. This dream encourages you to stay mindful of your ideals and values, guiding you to walk the right path.
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions â entry "Jihad" (page 233).
Joining the warriors in the battlefield in a dream means that one is a true worshiper who attends to his regular prayers and pays his charities and due alms. If one sees the people charging toward the battle field, it means that they will receive an endowment of divine forgiveness, victory, might and unity between the believers. To die as a martyr on God's path in a dream means joy, happiness and prosperity. Joining a jihad battle in the sea in a dream means poverty, failure and walking toward destruction. Winning a sea battle in Jihad against a tyrant in a dream means restoring one's religious commitment, and it could represent a protective jealousy for one's wife, or winning a struggle in favor of one's parents. Victory in the battlefield during Jihad means profits in one's business. Returning from a holy war against an oppressor in a dream means that one may lose his religious commitment or disobey his parents, which is a major sin in Islam. (Also see Inner struggle)
Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
