Osprey
(Angel of death; Bone-breaker; Eagle) In a dream, an osprey represents a
powerful and a mighty warrior, and a merciless man whom no one trusts. If one
sees an osprey over his roof, or inside his house, or standing over his head in a
dream, it represents the angel of death. Catching an osprey in a dream means
frequenting a ruler and remaining constantly wary of him whether one obeys him,
or opposes him in opinion. If an osprey scratches someone with his claws in a
dream, it means depression and financial losses. Eating the flesh of an osprey in
a dream represents a demanding person. An osprey in a dream also represents
a ruler about whom people speak very scarcely, but who is the direct cause of the
falling of many neighboring rulers. Seeing an osprey in a tree means profits,
favors and blessings. A flying osprey in a dream means victory in one’s life. An
osprey standing on top of a mountain or a rock, or on a cliff in a dream means
success for the one who is starting a new job or a new business. However, it also
could mean bad news if one is afraid of something, or if he is travelling. As for rich
and noble people, riding an osprey in a dream means death, while for poor people
it means profits and success that will benefit their families and neighbors. An
osprey in a dream also means returning from a journey. It is also glad tidings of
success and profits if an osprey comes near someone in a dream and talks to him.
If a pregnant woman begets an osprey in her dream, it means that she will give
birth to a son who will grow to be a courageous soldier or a leader in his

Sneezing
(Anger; Ascertain; Cold; Disdain; Disregard; Exhale; Fury) Sneezing in
a dream means reassessing something about which one had doubt. Thus,
sneezing in a dream could mean acknowledging the truth, and that is why
people’s common reply is “God bless you.” Sneezing in a dream also could mean
the death of a sick person, or experiencing agony, distress, adversities, or facing
a disturbing problem. If one who is experiencing such trials sees himself
sneezing in a dream, it means that the time has come to dispel them. If a poor
person sneezes in a dream, it means that he may wake up to find that help is
coming his way. Sneezing in a dream also could mean paying one’s debts, or
recovering from a cold or a nasal congestion, or it could mean exasperation, fury,

Ride
(Animal; Carrier; Mount; Vehicle) A vehicle in a dream represents care,
concern, attaining one’s purpose, or it could mean reaching one’s destination
through striving and hard work. To ride an animal in a dream means following
one’s desires and passions. However, to be carried by any animal, or by any type
of vehicle in a dream is a sign of honor and authority. Riding a horse one cannot
control in a dream means following one’s passions and wantonness. If one is able
to adequately tame his horse and control it in the dream, it means that he will
be saved from adversities. Riding an elaborately dressed horse for a parade,
being surrounded by servants and an entourage in the dream means receiving
an inheritance, or it could mean becoming the guardian of an estate one will
inherit in a short while. Riding over the shoulder of another man and forcing
him to accept it in a dream represents one’s funeral, and it means that the other
person will have no choice but to carry the coffin. If the person carrying him in
the dream is willingly doing so, then it means that he will care for his needs and
bear his encumbrance. Riding over someone’s shoulders in a dream also means
facing an major adversity. Should he meanwhile fall down in the dream, it
means that such a trial will not take place. If one sees himself riding over
someone’s shoulder backward in a dream, it means that he does not accept any
advice or excuse, or it may mean that he turns to the other side if he is asked
for help, or it may mean that he engages in the forbidden sexual intercourse
during women’s menstrual period, or that he engages in sodomy. To see a
horseman leading a procession or a caravan of travellers in a dream means

public knowledge, fame, presidency, laurel of victory, a man of knowledge, an
Imam, or an ascetic who is vigilant and courageous, or a rich and a generous
man, or a strong and a victorious hero whose example is loved and followed. If
the banner is red, then one will reap happiness from the person it represents,
or he may engage in a war against him. As for a woman, a banner in a dream
represents her husband. If one sees banners flying during a parade, they mean
rain. If the banners are black in the dream, they mean that one will meet a man
of knowledge. If the banners are white, then they represent ajealous person who
will never be married. If they are yellow, they represent an epidemic disease.
If they are green, they mean a journey by land. A banner or a flag in a dream
also means that one will be wrapped in ambiguity in relation to a particular
matter and he will not find a way out. If one sees a flag and a brigade in a dream,
it means that he will be able to find his way through the difficulties and
overcome his sadness and adversities. His heart will have peace and his path
will open before him. If the flag represents a country in the dream, it means that
one may visit such a country. If a woman sees herself burying three banners in
a dream, it means that she will marry three men who belong to the noble class
of the society. Such three people will die one after the other. As for a pregnant
woman, a flag in a dream means a son and for an unwed woman, it means a
husband. A large banner in a dream means rain and winds. The carrier of the
flag is usually interpreted to represent a judge. If one sees himself carrying a
banner in his dream, it means that he is seeking the seat of a judge. (Also see

water in a dream means guidance, knowledge, having good taste, and the
diligence of the people of the path. Drinking a glass of cold sweet water in the

stress, depression and a scare from evil spirits. Any yellow colored drink in a
dream means sickness. Drinking an infusion of a violet flower in a dream means
recovering from an illness, or avoiding certain food in one’s diet. If one is
unwillingly drinking a bitter medicinal syrup in a dream, it means that he might
suffer a light illness. If he drinks apple juice or honey or myrtle drink or any
other delicious drink in a dream, it means happiness for a rich person and bad
news for a poor person. Drinking a glass of apple juice in a dream means benefits
drawn from a servant or an employee, a service offered by a powerful person,
or it could mean a stressful life. If one drinks something to cure an illness in a
dream, it means recovering from that illness if it exists. Otherwise, it means
that he might suffer from such an illness and take such a drink as a cure. Any
constipating drink in a dream means stinginess, while taking a laxative in a
dream means generosity. A headache reliever or a pain killer means kindness
or diplomacy and the same goes for any drink that cleanses the kidney. Beside
that, drinks denote architecture, religious studies, addressing matters promptly
or hiding secrets. Colorful drinks in a dream represent happiness, joy, festivi¬
ties, celebrations and correcting one’s behavior. Fruit drinks in a dream may
denote the fruit itself. Drinking rose water in a dream means lack of trust in
someone’s promises. Drinking an unknown but fragrant drink in a dream means
strengthening one’s certitude, loyalty or fulfilling one’s vow. Drinking a smelly
or a spoiled drink and particularly in a golden cup or a silver cup in a dream
means denying the true source of favors or becoming an apostate. If one sees a
deceased person handing him a sweet and a fragrant drink in a dream, it means
guidance or admonition and it could mean that the deceased person dwells in
paradise. Drinking with a regular cup in a dream represents the last drink.

Tablet
(Blackboard; Preserved Tablet; Records; Scrolls) Seeing the heavenly
Preserved Tablet in a dream means unveiling one’s actions and thoughts, glad
tidings for someone suffering from adversities, recovering from an illness for an
ailing person, or falling into sin for people whose indulgence in abominable
action is a common way of life. As for godly and righteous people, seeing the
Preserved Tablet in a dream means guidance relating to what God Almighty
has written of commands and prohibitions. As for niggardly people, seeing the
Preserved Tablet in a dream means acquaintance with one’s written shares and
certainty about one’s limitations and his life in this world. Seeing it also means
preserving knowledge, cataloging references, or saving money for one’s family
and heirs. It also represents a guardian for one’s properties, treasurer, the
keeper of one’s secrets, or a controller. Seeing the Preserved Tablet in a dream
also could denote enjoying peace after experiencing fear. If a ruler sees the
Preserved Tablet in a dream, it means that his sovereignty will expand, or it
could mean that he will discover a great treasure. As for the tablets that were
revealed to God’s prophet Moses, upon whom be peace, seeing them in a dream represents witnesses,
spiritual guides, guidance or admonition. A wooden blackboard in a dream represents one’s wife,
child, farmland, or finding peace after suffering from fear,
or it could mean knowledge if one is a seeker of such avenues. In general,
all boards in a dream represent admonition or prohibition
of sin. Receiving a writing tablet from an Imam in a dream means an appointment
to leadership, knowledge, understanding, or becoming an Imam, except if what
is written on the blackboard in the dream implies admonition to do good, then
the tablet means guidance and mercy. If the blackboard is made of iron in the
dream, it means that one will beget a son who will become a great scholar and
a strongman. A polished board in a dream means that one’s son will become a
man of courage who accomplishes what he intends, acquires what he wants, and
who will rarely be defeated. If the blackboard is corroded in the dream, it means
that one’s son will have no dynasty. If the blackboard is made of stone in the
dream, it means that his heart will be like a rock. If the blackboard is made of
copper in the dream, it means that one’s son will grow to be a hypocrite. If it is
made of lead in the dream, it means that one’s son will be an effeminate person.
A tablet in a dream also denotes a woman and the writing on it represent her
children, or it could represent an intelligent and a good natured boy who accepts
what he learns from his teacher. Receiving a blackboard from someone in
authority in a dream means gaining power. If a pregnant woman sees a
blackboard in a dream, it means that she will beget a son.

in a dream represents a man. Intentionally lowering one’s voice in a dream
means being indebted to someone, or it could mean humility. If a man of
authority or a policeman lower his voice in a dream, it means that he maybe
dismissed from his job, or he maybe reprimanded or disciplined for his misconduct.
The sound produced by the ringing of coins in a dream represents temptation,
allurement, or a fight between stockbrokers or money exchangers. The clank of

Poet
(Charmer; Poet; Reciting) A poet reciting his verses in a dream represents
a man who brings peace to people’s hearts, entertains them and dispels anger

giving them bad advice, encourages them to do wrong and to abstain from what
is right, or misleads them with deceptive words. In general, seeing a poet in a

Urn
(Cistern; Container; Storing; Waterskin) In a dream, each type of urn is
interpreted differently. A large urn represents a prostitute. In a dream, a
cistern or any large conical jar made of porous clay and used in storing water
represents a caretaker, a custodian or a curator, the head of the household, his
safe, or his shop. If the urn is seen inside a house in a dream, it represents a rich
woman who is always in grief. If it is connected to a water wheel in the dream,
it represents a rich man who carries heavy responsibilities and who spends his
money on God's path. A waterskin in a dream represents a chaste woman.
Drinking from a waterskin in a dream means receiving money or benefits from
such a woman. If one sees himself drawing water from a storage tank then
pouring it into an urn in the dream, it means that he will take advantage of such
a woman. A wine pitcher in a dream means discovering a treasure. If one sees

Stairway
(Conveyor; Steps; Travels) In a dream, stairways represent the vehicle
of rising in station, advancement in worldly gains, seeking the blessings of the
hereafter, and the rising of one’s station in the hereafter. A stairway in a dream
also could represent the days of one’s life and their term. If one sees a staircase
which he recognizes in the dream, it could represent the servant of a house, its
owner, or its accountant. If a sick person sees himself climbing an unknown
staircase which is leading him to the upper room from where he can see paradise
in the dream, it means that he may die from his illness and reach what he saw.
If obstacles hinder his way or impede his climb in the dream, it means that he
is detained, and the immediate blessings of such a gift will be veiled to him.
Descending a staircase in a dream means arriving from a journey, resigning
from one’s job, impeachment, or it could represent a pedestrian. If one’s descent
leads him to his family, house, or farmland in the dream, it means money. If
what he reaches at the end of the staircase is unknown, and if one meets people,
or souls he does not recognize in the dream, it also denotes what we have earlier
explained. If during one’s climb or descent he falls into a well, or if a giant bird
grabs him and flies away with him, or if a beast devours him, or if he steps into
a boat that sails away as he steps into it, or if he takes a step to find himself
riding an animal, or a vehicle of some type, the staircase then represents the
stages of one’s life and what he encountered during the journey of his life,
all replayed or screened before his eyes at the point of descending into his grave,
or as a book one reads after his death. If he does wake up and finds himself
healthy and fit, it means that he will become a tyrant, an unjust person, an
atheist and a reprobate. If one sees himself descending a staircase that leads
him into a mosque, lush foliage, green fields, a fresh breeze of spring, or into a
pond to take a ritual ablution to perform his prayers in the dream, it means that
he will become a true believer, repent for his his sins and abandon his
blameworthy conduct. Otherwise, if he descends upon adverse elements such as
snakes, lions, steep hills, corpses, or a field of scattered remains in a dream, then
it represents major trials and adversities. If the steps are made of clay in one’s
dream, they indicate positive signs. However, a stairway could be regarded as
unfavorable if its steps are made of backed bricks. If they are made of stones in
the dream, they mean business success, along with a heart like a stone. If the
staircase is made of wooden steps in the dream, it means reaching a high rank
which is compounded with hypocrisy. If they are made of gold in the dream, then
they mean achieving success and gaining authority. If they are made of silver
in the dream, they represent one’s entourage and attendants. Climbing a
staircase in a dream also means sharpening one’s intellect and awareness. In
a dream, a stairway is also interpreted to mean leading a life of ascetic
detachment and devotion. Coming near a staircase in a dream also means
attaining success and a growing piety. Each step represents a different station.
Climbing a staircase in a dream also represents the dangers one may have to
cross. Seeing a staircase with five steps in a dream represents the five time
prayers, or the pulpit where the Imam stands to deliver his Friday sermon. That
is why some interpreters qualify the staircase in one’s dream as glad tidings,
good news, prayers, charity, alms giving, fasting, or a pilgrimage. God knows
best.

Crucifixion
(Death; Punishment) In a dream, crucifixion means exaltation of the
one who is put on the cross, or a high rank he will attain. If one who qualifies
for a leadership position sees himself crucified in a dream, it means that he will
attain his goals. If he dies of his crucifixion in the dream, it means that he will
lose faith or fail to apply the divine laws in his life. If he is crucified in the dream
and does not die from it, it means that he will rule with justice. If an average
person sees himself crucified in a dream, it means that he will be humiliated and
suppressed. If one sees himself raised to be crucified after he had died in a
dream, it means that he will attain worldly status, though remains morally
defiled and religiously corrupt. If one sees himself crucified and did not know
when was he put on the cross in a dream, it means that he will recover lost
property or money, or fulfill his goals. If one is crucified after being killed in the
dream, it means that someone will lie to him, despite his high rank. If one eats
the flesh of a crucified person in a dream, it means that he will backbite him.
If blood comes out of the flesh of a crucified person in a dream, it means that he
is recruited to cause harm. If one eats the flesh of a crucified person in a dream,
it means that he will travel in the mail wagon or on a cargo ship. If one sees
himself riding in the mail wagon in a dream, it means that he will shortly die.
If one is crucified on the walls of a city and people are watching him in a dream,
it means that he will rise in station and rank and that he will command strong

Fruit
(Dried fruits; Fresh fruits) In a dream, a sweet tasting fruit represents
blessings, knowledge or money. Even a sour tasting fruit means the same when
it suits the taste of the person eating it in his dream. When a sour tasting fruit
does not agree with the person’s taste in the dream, then it means unlawful
earnings or aggravation of his illness. Eating or drinking any by-product that
is made of fruit in a dream means debts or facing challenges in a foreign land.
Seeing one’s most preferred fruit in a dream represent profits earned from one’s
own sweat and such profits will equal the amount of efforts exerted to earn them.
A large size fruit in a dream represents earnings that are not yet free from due
alms. A fruit without seeds or hull in a dream represents success and lawful
earnings. Eating fruits out of season in a dream means prosperity and comfort.
A fruit that grows or which is plucked in cluster or as bunch in a dream means
love and unity. Imported fruits in a dream represent their country of origin.
Fruits in a dream also represent one’s wife, children, business agreements,
exchanging knowledge, good deeds, family reunion, weddings, recovering from
sickness or recovering lost money. Grapes in a dream represent wine, and water
melon represents the alcoholic beverage which is fermented from its juices. To
pick up a fruit that fell from a tree in a dream means leading a fight against a
righteous person. If one sees a tree that bears fruit in warm weather bearing
fruit in the winter in a dream, it means that he will associate with someone
expecting to make a business deal, though their friendship will end in wasting
time and money. To pluck a fruit from a tree other than its own in a dream
represents a good brother in-law, an honest partner, or a profitable partnership.
Wild berries in the mountains or prairies in a dream represent innate arts,
abilities and knowledge given directly from God Almighty and no other teacher
has a claim in it. Figs in a dream represent the best of fruits in a dream. Fresh

Swimming
(Employment; Knowledge; Prison) If a man of knowledge sees himself
swimming in the ocean in a dream, it means that he will attain his goals. If he
enters the water of the ocean then comes back to the shore in a dream, it means
that he will commence his path of seeking knowledge then abandons it.
Swimming in a dream also means going to jail. Swimming on sand in a dream
means that one may be incarcerated, that his living conditions in his jail will
be constricted, and that he will suffer in his prison from hardships equal to the
difficulties he encounters during his swim in the dream. If one sees himself
swimming inside his own house in a dream, it means that he will work for a
ruthless, wicked and an unjust employer who will entrap him in his service
through a business deal. Consequently, God Almighty will help him out of his
entanglements. If one is afraid of swimming in the dream, it means that he is
scared of someone in authority. If he runs away from swimming in a dream, it
means that he will escape from him. If one sees himself entering waters where
he can swim successfully in a dream, it means that he will engage in a major
project, lead an important job, or acquire authority and power. If one swims on
his back in a dream, it means that he will repent for a sin. If he swims in the
sea and finds its water stagnant in the dream, it means that he will serve
someone in authority, though his job will bringhim nothingbut trouble and the
wrath of his employer. If he still manages to cross the sea in his dream, it means
that he will escape from dangers his employment could inflict upon him. If he
swims with fear in a dream, it means trouble, imprisonment, or a sickness he
will endure depending on the type of needed efforts or distance he has to cross.
Should he think in the dream that he will not be able to make it, then it means
his death. If he shows courage during his swim in the dream, it means that he
will be able to escape from such a dangerous job. Troubled waters in a dream
mean adversities. Swimming successfully across troubled waters in a dream
means overcoming one’s adversities. Any sea or agitated waters in a dream
represent the authorities or the state, whether it be a swamp, a lake, a pond,
a sea, or an ocean. If one sees himself drowning in a river, or a lake, then if he
is carried by others and laid on dry land motionless like a fish in a dream, this
also means trials and adversities. If one is saved from drowningbefore he wakes-
up from his sleep in the dream, it means that he will triumph over his trials.
Otherwise, if he dies from it in the dream, it means that he may die from such
adversities. If during his swim one meets a ship that pulls him out of the waters,
or to which he holds or grabs, it also means escape from adversities. If one
drowns in the dream, it means that he may die as a martyr, though having
previously indulged in many sins. To walk on water, whether it is the sea or a
river in a dream means good spiritual standing, religious assiduousness and a
strong faith and determination. Walking on water in a dream also could be
interpreted as ascertaining something about which one may have doubt, or
placing one’s trust in God Almighty before embarking on a dangerous trip. (Also
see Air)

Saker
(Falcon; Hawk) In a dream, a saker means a son, high rank, authority, or
a respected, dignified and awe-inspiring person who comes from noble lineage
though he is unjust. If one sees a saker pursuing him in a dream, it means that
he has incurred the wrath of a strong and a courageous man who does what he
says. Seeing a saker without a fight in a dream means profits, and the same
interpretation applies to most hunting birds or animals. Owning a hunting
saker who is well trained and obedient in a dream means gaining authority, or
becoming unjust and ungodly. Owning a disobedient saker that does not hunt
in a dream means begetting a son who will grow to manhood and be independent.
A saker in a dream also signifies might, rank, victory, attaining one’ goals,
adversities, death, prison, shackles, adornment, or tightening one’s grip on
expenses. A trained saker in a dream also represents an articulate man of
knowledge, verses an untamed saker in the dream.

Apricot
(Fruit) In season, seeing an apricot in a dream means money. Seeing
apricot out of season in a dream means illness. A fruitbearing apricot tree in a
dream represents a rich man. However, it is said that an apricot tree in a dream
also represents someone who suffers from a serious illness, and is of little or no
use to others. On the other hand, it is said that an apricot tree in a dream
represents someone with a cheerful face, who is courageous in defends himself,
but who is stingy with his own family. When the apricot is still green and
unripened in the dream, it represents little money. When it ripens and becomes
yellow in adream, it denotes greater profits. Eating a ripened apricot in a dream
means being generous and charitable, or it could mean recovering from an
illness. Breaking a branch from an apricot tree in a dream means a dispute with
one’s family or with a friend. In general, breaking a branch from a tree in a
dream means claiming someone’s money or denying him his money, or it could
mean failing to perform one’s prayers, neglecting one’s obligatory fast or
misusing and damaging someone else’s property. Attending an apricot farm in
a dream means trustworthiness and dutifulness. It is also said that an apricot
tree in a dream represents a hypocrite, because yellow in a dream means illness,
and hypocrisy is an illness. An apricot tree in a dream also represents a wealthy
woman. Plucking apricots from a tree in a dream also could mean marrying such
a woman. Harvesting any fruitbearing tree in season in a dream means
pleasures and work, except for the mulberry tree, for here it means toiling,
hardship or waste of time. Plucking apricots from an apple tree in a dream
means impressing unjust rules upon others. In general, a yellow colored fruit
in a dream signifies illness. A sower tasting fruit in a dream signifies distress

entering a prison. If one gets angry for material gains in a dream, it means that
he has disdain and contempt toward God’s religion. However, should he get

power. Becoming angry for someone else’s sake in a dream signifies a corrupt
contract, a tainted agreement, a marriage consent with a hidden intent of a
divorce to follow, fighting for unlawful earnings, or it could mean accumulating

Underground granary
(Granary; Pantry; Storrage room; Subterranean storehouse)
An underground grain storage house in a dream represents a caring mother, a
single parent or a foster mother. This interpretation comes from the example
of a fetus in his mother’s womb and its dependence on her to supply the
necessary nourishment. Once the stored food is consumed, then it is necessary
to depend on a new source. If one sees an underground granary demolished or
filled with dirt in the dream, and if his mother is sick, it means that she may
die from her illness. If one’s wife is pregnant, it means that she will soon deliver
her infant. A demolished underground granary in a dream means finding a
buyer for one’s grains, and the dirt that fills the storehouse in the dream
represents money. If the stored grain turns into dirt in a dream,
it means that market prices will come down, or it could mean the loss of one’s investment.
Seeing a granary filled with food in a dream means that one’s wife is pregnant.
If a fire consumes the stored grain in a dream, it means rising prices. If one sees
a granary filled with sugar or dates in a dream, it means that prices will stabilize
and become attainable, while the type of food stored therein will be in limited
supplies and consequently, its price will rise. If a sick person falls into an
underground granary in a dream, it means his death, or drowning in the sea,
or facing a highway robbery. As for one who is engaged in a fight, an underground
granary in his dream represents a prison or a visit to a brothel.

hand in a dream means ceasing the course of wrongdoing. Slapping one’s own
face with both hands means sorrow, sadness, or calamities. Hitting the top of
one’s hand into the palm of the other hand means separation. In a dream, the
palm of one’s hand also represents one’s strength. To stretch open one’s palm
in a dream signifies wealth and prosperity. Holding a tight fist in a dream
implies poverty, or tight living conditions. If one sees hair growing in the palm
of his hand in a dream, it means depression, distress and debts. Growing hair
on top of one’s hand in a dream indicates one’s strength or virility. Seeing one’s
hand hanging down from the skies in a dream denotes one’s connections with

could mean profits and blessings for a hunter, a builder and a real estate
professional. In a dream, the palm of one’s hand also represents his world. It also

Mosque
(Jami; Masjid) The main city mosque or the central mosque in a dream
represents the king, the governor, or the ruler of a Muslim country, since he
takes care of establishing the divine laws as well as he is the symbol of Islam
and the decisive judge between the lawful and the unlawful. Smelling an apple
inside a mosque means getting married. A mosque in a dream is like the central
market that people intend daily and endeavor to make profit therein. It is a place
where people will profit according to their deeds and efforts. A mosque in a

Seeing the main city mosque in a dream also means to recognize something good

wealth and ornaments. Its prayer mats represent the king’s justice and his
knowledgeable advisors. Its doors represent the guards. Its minaret represents
the king’s vice-regent, the official speaker of the palace or it announcer. If the
main mosque in the dream is interpreted to represent the ruler of the land, then
its pillars represent the element of time. Its lights represent the noble retinue
and the wise men of his epoch. The ceiling represents the knowledge contained
in the books that protect his justice and his references. The minaret will then
represent his chief minister or advisor. The pulpit represents his servant. The
prayer niche represents his wife, or it may represent his lawful earnings, or a
righteous and a chaste wife. If one sees a mosque burning in a dream, it means
death, losses and political changes in the country. The main mosque of the town

trustees and guards who shelter people from outside attacks. If one sees any of
that in a dream, or whatever condition these elements are in, they represent the
current condition of the people, and this is what the central mosque represents

himself, or commits suicide in fear of the consequences of his sins in a dream,
it means that he is offering true repentance from his sins, though committing
suicide is a major sin that will lead its author to eternal sufferings in hell-fire.
Killing a human being in a dream means committing an evil and an atrocious
sin. On the other hand, committing an outrageous sin, or a conspicuously
objectionable act in a dream may mean killing someone. If one is killed in a
dream, it means longevity and that he will acquire a great wealth from the one
who kills him in the dream. If one kills someone without slaughtering him in
a dream, it means that the victim will benefit greatly from his assailant.
Slaughtering in a dream means injustice. Killing someone in a dream also
means relief from depression, grief, affliction and sorrow. Killing oneself in a
dream also means recognition of the value of lost benefits. If one is murdered
in a dream and did not know who killed him, it indicates his failure to fulfill his
religious duties. If one recognizes his murderer in the dream, then it means
triumph over one’s enemy. If one sees a victim swimming in a pool of blood that
is pouring from his jugular veins in the dream, it means that the victim will
suffer greatly from the defamation and slander of his assailant. If one intention¬
ally commits suicide in a dream, it means that he is a subversive rebel and a
disobedient servant of God almighty. Confessing to a murder in a dream means
gaining the upper hand. Killing in a dream also could mean that one is missing
his prayers, or neglecting them. Killing one’s own son in a dream means
