Islamic Interpretation of Dreams (Ibn-i Sirin):

(Captain; Manager; Ship) In a dream, the sails of a ship represent its captain, or they could represent a good manager, or they could mean gaining power.

If one sees sails being raised to honor him in a dream, it means that he will attain power, leadership, honor and exaltation.

If a ruler or a general of an army sees such a dream, it means that he will remain strong and secured from enemy attacks.
