Temples
( anat .) In a dream, one’s temples represent two noble and blessed sons.
Anything that affects them in the dream will affect one’s sons. Temples in a
dream also could mean recovering from an illness. If one is suffering from a
migraine headache sees his temples turn into iron in a dream, it means that he
will find a cure for his illness. One’s temples in a dream also may be interpreted
as money. Plucking out the facial hair from someone’s temples in a dream means
borrowing money from him, and the lender will take pride in lending him money.
If a rich person sees himself plucking out his facial hair in a dream, it means
that he may lose his wealth. If a poor person sees that dream, it means that he
will repay his debts. (Also see Body)

Marjoram
( bot. Mint; Sweet marjoram; Wild marjoram) Smelling a marjoram
plant in a dream means recovering from an illness and enjoying a good health
for that year. Planting a marjoram in a dream means begetting a healthy and
a beautiful child who will grow to possess a good character. Marjoram in a
dream also could mean marriage, or something that will not last. (Also see Mint)
Marketplace: Going to the marketplace in a dream means seeking knowledge, or
looking for work. A marketplace in a dream also represents a mosque, or
winning a war. In fact, the merchants and the customers bargain with one
another, some win and some lose. If a knowledge seeking student sees himself
in a marketplace that he does not recognize, then if he walks away from it in
the dream, it means that he will cease schooling or interrupt his studies and
fail to acquire his degree, or it could mean that he has missed his Friday
congregational prayers. It also could mean that the knowledge he is seeking is
not intended to please God Almighty. If one sees himself shoplifting in a dream,
it means that he steals, or holds contempt and conceit in his heart, or if he is
a man of knowledge, it means that he will foster falsehood or become affected.
If one sees a common marketplace on fire, or filled with people, or with a stream
of fresh water running in the middle of it, or if it is fragrant with perfumes in
the dream, then it represents good business for everyone and increase in their
profits, though hypocrisy will later on spread among the people. Otherwise, if
one finds the shops closed, the merchants drowsing and spiders webs spreading
in every corner and covering the merchandise in the dream, it means stagnation
of business or suffering major losses. Seeing the marketplace in a dream is also
interpreted to represent the world. Whatever affects it will show in people’s
lives, in their mosques, churches, or temples including their profits, losses,
clothing, recovering from illness, lies, stress, sorrows or adversities. If the
market is quiet in the dream, then it represents the laziness of its salespeople.

the whale which swallowed God’s prophet Jonah (uwbp) in a dream means
dispelling one’s fears, prosperity for a poor person and the coming relief for
someone in distress. In a dream, a whale also represents the chief minister of
sea life, while the ocean represents the king or the ruler. (Also see Fish)

Hermitage
(Retreat; Sanctuary) A hermitage in a dream represents a spiritual
retreat, abstinence, good character, seclusion, ascetic detachment, controlling
one’s desires and wants, divorcing one’s wife, abandoning one’s friends, or it
could mean an illness. If a sick person sees himself in a hermitage in a dream,
it may mean his death, or it could mean suppressing one’s sexual desires.
Occupying a hermitage or building one in a dream means rising in station. A
beautiful and a newly built hermitage in the dream represents a wife. A
hermitage in a dream also could mean migration, bewilderment, severing a
friendship, hiding, power, or it could represent one’s son. Whatever may affect
a hermitage in the dream also could manifest in the life of one’s son. (Also see

Retreat
(Sanctuary; Spiritual retreat, arh. I’tikaf) The place where one may see
himself observing a spiritual retreat in a dream represents what the person is
inclined to do. If it is a mosque in the dream, it means blessings or a marriage
to a righteous woman. If one’s retreat takes place inside his own shop in the
dream, it means that his business has become his primal concern. In a dream,
a spiritual retreat represents devotion, prayers, hunger, votive fast, depression,
humbling oneself, controlling one’s passions and desires. If one secludes himself
in a known location in a dream, it means that such a place is a source of comfort.
If one takes refuge in his shop in a dream, it means clinging to one’s livelihood.

worship, religion, knowledge, devotion, work, ascetic detachment, fear of
wrongdoing, penance, lamentation and it could mean crying. A church in a

business club, a meeting house, bingo, wine, alcoholic consumption, commun¬
ion, weddings or a wife. In a dream, a church also can represent its parish,
diocese, ministry, clergyman or a chaplain. If one sees a church turned into a
synagogue, or a synagogue turned into a church in a dream, it means mistrust,
an argument, or a scheme for tax evasion. Seeing oneself in a synagogue in a
dream means that one may become a Jew. If one’s house turns into a church in
a dream, it means that he will bring its business to his house, or it may mean
a fight with one’s boss. Seeing a church in a dream also denotes a cemetery,
confession, a prostitute, a music house or a place of confinement. If a woman sees
