also represents a shameless and an insolent worker, or it could represent a bird’s
nest. In this sense, capturing a bird, or looking inside a bird’s nest in a dream
means getting married. If a woman sees water entering her vagina in a dream,
it means that she will conceive a child. If a woman’s vagina turns into iron or
into any metal in the dream, it means that she has lost all hope in accomplishing
her aspirations, satisfying her desires or needs. (Also see Blowing into the va¬

Trumpet of Resurrection
Hearing the sound of the trumpet of the Day of Res¬
urrection in a dream means hearing the truth. Blowing in the trumpet of the arc
angel Israfil (uwbp) in a dream means salvation of the righteous ones. In a
dream, the sound of this trumpet invokes fear incurring news that cause shivers
and trembling in people’s hearts. If one hears it alone, then the news are
exclusive for him. If everyone hears its sound in the dream, then it is a public
affair. If one hears the sound of the trumpet and anticipates that everyone has
heard it too in a dream, it means plagues and adversities, for the first blow
indicates the end of the world and the death of everyone in it. The second blow
indicates their resurrection back to life, which will be followed by the Grand
Gathering for the Day of Judgment. If a sick person hears the first blow in a
dream, it means that he will shortly recover from his illness. If the town is
inflicted with a calamity, then hearing it in a dream means that people’s
adversities will be lifted. If there is a drought, it will end and food prices will
go back to normal. If one hears the second blow of the trumpet of resurrection
in a dream, it means prosperity, revealing what is hidden, exposing long kept
secrets, recovering from an illness, release from prison, reunion of beloveds, or
meeting with people who have just arrived from a long journey. (Also see
