Wanted Dream Meaning
Dream interpretation
If you dream that you are being wanted by someone, it may indicate significant changes in your life. This reflects your efforts and determination to achieve your future goals. Sometimes, it can also symbolize death, representing the end of a chapter in your life or the need to start something new. Therefore, this dream encourages you to reflect deeply on your life and aspirations.
Wanted — Islamic interpretation
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Wanted" (page 468) — resolved via the equivalent "Pursuit" entry.
In a dream, pursuit means one's destiny, or death. Ifone sees himself wanted by his enemy in a dream, it means that he may die shortly. On the other hand, pursuit in a dream also could represent things that foster one's pride, such as knowledge, schooling, degrees, money, or work. Ifone sees himself pursued by someone in a dream, it means sorrow and distress. Pursuit in a dream also represents one's goal in life. Ifone is not a fugitive, then to see himself wanted in a dream means appeasement of his fears. If one sees an ugly looking person searching for him in a dream, he then represents an unwanted catastrophe, or a mishap. If one is caught by his claimant, then it means increase of his fears. If one sees himself pursuing something, or seeking to get something in a dream, it means that he will attain his goal or at least a part of it.
Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
