Missile launcher
(Ballista; Battering ram; Mangonel) Seeing a mangonel or a
missile launcher for hurling heavy stones in a dream means calumny, slander
and a false accusation of fornication, untruth, or deceit. A missile launcher in
a dream also means victory for the oppressed and destruction for the unjust
ones. If the commander who is operating the missile launcher in the dream is
a ruler, then it means that he will write a letter with strong words to the other
party. The stone or the missile itself represents the messenger, or the carrier
of such a letter. If a superior launches a stone against a subject or an employee
in a dream, it means that he will send an investigator, a controller or a
supervisor of a stern nature. Watching the launch of a mangonel in a dream
implies treachery, betrayal and a cause of losses and sufferings. It also means
defamation of the learned ones, or forcing them to downplay the ruler’s injustice,
or to give utilitarian and opportune opinions about sacred religious values.
Seeing a missile launcher in a dream also may signify corruption, adversities
and trials that will befall the target of such missiles.

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.

qualities. If a qualified person sees himself stamping cases of merchandise, or
sealing coffers with his ring in a dream, it means that he may receive such a
position or become a controller. If he is poor, it also means that his needs will
be promptly satisfied. (Also see Cauterize)

Pen
(Pencil; Tongue) In a dream, a pen represents knowledge, learning, a child,
a tradesman, or commanding what is good and forbidding what is evil. If a
tradesman or a craftsman sees a pen in his dream, it means that he will be
successful in his trade, or that he will preside over people of the same trade. If
a tradesman earns something with a pen, or writes an invoice with it in a dream,
it means that he will be protected from poverty through his trade. If a writer
sees himself carrying a pen, or holding a paper, or an inkwell in a dream, it also
means having a source of income, protection against poverty, earning one’s
livelihood from writing, or from working under someone in authority. A pen in
a dream also represents one’s manager, his controller, a cosigner, a witness in

another pen laying beside him in a dream denotes having a half brother, or if
one’s mother is pregnant, it means that she will deliver a new son. A pen in a
dream also means a guarantee. If one’s wife is pregnant, then if he sees a pen
laying beside an inkwell in his dream, it means that she will beget a son. Holding
