Transformation
(Changing form) Transformation by substitution in a dream
where one thing is converted into something else. If a withered tree is trans¬
formed into a blossoming one in a dream, it means political changes, changes
in worldly conditions, or reversal of conditions from good to bad, or from bad to
good. This element includes the transformation of inner substances or physical
ones. For example, if sees himself as an old person in a dream, when in real life
he is young, it means progress in his spiritual life and gaining honor. If he is an
old person and sees himself as a young boy in a dream, it means indulging in
wrongdoing. If one sees a known old person regaining his youth, it means that
the material conditions of the person seeing the dream will turn around to one’s
advantage or otherwise, i.e., richness into poverty and vice-versa, or if he is sick,
he will recover from his illness. If one is transformed into a beautiful shoot of
green or a blossoming branch of a tree in a dream, it means that he may die
within a short time. Becoming taller in a dream means longevity, prosperity, or
begetting a son. If one finds himself missing partial mental keenness or physical
abilities or a limb in a dream, it means that he may suffer losses relating to his
worldly interests. If a man sees himself transformed into a woman, and wears
her apparels, ornaments and make-up in a dream, it means that he may suffer
humiliation, adversities and abuse. If a woman sees herself transformed into a
man, or if she grows a beard in a dream, it means that she will reestablish her

(Fire stone; Hard; Siliceous rock; Steel) In a dream, a flint stone means
searching for something that could bring profits or hoping for something to
happen, and both will take place. If one sees himself striking a flint stone with
a piece of steel to produce fire for cooking or for light, and if he sees the sparks

mercy and guide her to repentance. If she is unmarried, it means that she will
get married. If she is poor, it means that she will become rich, and her life in
this world as well as in the hereafter will turn to her advantage. Seeing Joseph

woman in a dream means hearing pleasing news coming from an unexpected

herself and plays up her charms in the dream, then such goodness will be public.
If a young girl sees herself as an old woman in a dream, it means that she will
live with modesty and preserve her chastity. If an old woman sees herself turned
young again in the dream, it means regaining her strength, sexual desire and
fertility. If she engages in lawful sexual intercourse in marriage, it denotes
strong religious adherence. If she engages in sexual intercourse with someone
without marriage in the dream, then her dream represents her love for the world
and attachment to its glitters. If one sees an old woman turned young in a dream,
then the above explanation becomes stronger. However, if one is poor, it means
that her basic needs will be secured. If one has lost her chances in this world,
it means that she will have a new opportunity, or if she is sick, it means that
she will recover from her illness. Seeing a young girl frowning in a dream means
that one may hear disturbing news. If she looks emaciated, then one’s dream
denotes poverty. If she is naked in the dream, it means business losses and
defamation. Marrying a virgin teenage girl in a dream means wealth. (Also see

Silver
(Woman) Silver in a dream represents hard earned money or savings. In
dream interpretation, the substance of silver and that of a woman are the same.
A silver coin in a dream represents a beautiful woman. Extracting silver in a
dream means taking advantage of a woman. If one finds abundance of silver in
his dream, it means that he will uncover a treasure. Melting silver in a dream
means having an argument with one’s wife that will become the talk of the town.
Receiving silverware or silver cups as a gift in a dream means being entrusted
with money or personal items for safe keeping. The same interpretation goes for
receiving a silver mirror in a dream as long as one does not look into it. Once
he looks into the mirror in his dream, it means adversities, defamation, and loss
of respect, for only harm could come from looking into a silver mirror in a dream.
Silverware, silver cups or silver pitchers, as well as the golden ones in a dream
also may represent good deeds that lead to paradise, or they could mean good
business and prosperity. To see expensive silver items mixed with trivial
imitations in a dream means innovation and suspicious behavior. Silver ornaments
in a dream mean forcing one’s way, or obliging a jealous person to revert the
course of his actions. Buying something with silver coins of unknown origin, or
placing them inside a silver bowl in a dream means hiding something suspicious,
or receiving something as a trust that one should keep with honesty, then return
it to its rightful owner when asked to do so.

Dragon
A dragon in a dream represents a tyrant and an unjust ruler, or it could
mean a killing fire. The more heads a dragon has in a dream, the greater is his
danger. If a sick person sees a dragon in his dream, it means his death. If a
pregnant woman sees herself delivering a dragon in a dream, it means that she
will give birth to a child who will be chronically ill. Giving birth to a dragon in
a dream also represents a child who will be a great speaker or who will be known
by two different names, or that he might become a fortuneteller, a monk, an evil
person, a bandit or an insolent person who will be killed later. A dragon in a
dream also connotes the stretch of time. If one sees a dragon coming his way
without causing fear, and if the dragon talks to him with clear expressions, or
if the dragon gives him something, it mean glad tidings or good news. If a giant
dragon is transformed into a man or a woman in a dream, it represents an army
of male or female jinn {see alphabetically), and a marching army of female jinns
in a dream means an enemy who conceals his true purpose or identity. Such an
enemy has many heads and ways in the arts of ugly actions and evil thinking.
Each head from one to seven represents an adversity of a different magnitude
or an art of evildoing. If the dragon in one’s dream has seven heads, it represents
an enemy that cannot be equalled and whose evil designs cannot be paralleled.
If one sees himself owning and controlling a dragon in a dream, it means taking
advantage of a person who is mentally ill. (Also see Jinn)

Hunter
In a dream, a hunter represents a philanderer, a womanizer who rounds
women, or a pimp. If one sees himself befriending a hunter, or if he helps him,
and if the hunter is pursuing what is lawful to kill for food, one’s dream then
connotes personal advantages. If the hunt is after an animal which is unlawful
for food, then the dream means sufferings. Hunting a lion in a dream means
acquiring great power through deception. Hunting sparrows, hawks, or falcons
in a dream also means gaining power. Hunting birds or pigeons in a dream
represents a tricky merchant. Hunting beasts in a dream means cheating
travellers. Fishing means womanizing. A beast hunter in a dream represents

Blood
In a dream, blood represents unlawful or illegal money, or an evil act that
will emanate from the person seeing the dream. If one sees himself dragging his
feet through puddles of blood in a dream, it means that he will finance his
business from unlawfully earned money, profit from an illegal business or
commit a major sin then be caught. If one sees blood staining his shirt in a
dream, it means that someone will lie to him, though he will not recognize it.
If his shirt is stained with blood or pus from pimples in a dream, it means that
a thief will lie to him. If his shirt is stained with the blood of a lion in a dream,
it means that an iniquitous person in authority will lie to him and take
advantage of him. If his shirt is stained with the blood of a ram in a dream, it
means that a rich, noble and a well respected person will lie to him, and at the
end he will consent to accepting corrupt money. Seeing blood flowing from one’s
body or from wounds is a sign of good health, safety, or it could mean coming
home after a long journey. Drinking human blood in a dream means money,
profits, escape from danger, safety from trials and adversities, or it could mean
committing a sin then repenting from it. Falling into a pool of blood in a dream
means that one will be accused of a murder or of stealing money. If one sees a
valley filled with blood in a dream, it means that he maybe killed in that locality.
If one sees blood emanating out of his body without cupping or cuts in a dream,
it means giving money to someone. If he is a poor person, then it means receiving
money from someone. If one sees himself falling into a cistern which is filled with
blood in a dream, it means that someone is seeking revenge from him. Blood in
a jar represents a woman in menstruation. Blood in a dream also represents
one’s life, strength, wealth, business, helpers, clothing, earning praise or blame,
weak points, unlawful food, lack of benefits, loss of business or money or esteem,
inability to draw benefits from one’s usual close ones, such as a father, a son,
or a business partner, separation through death from one’s beloveds or dear
one’s, such as wife or a kin. One’s blood in a dream also represents his own Satan,
or an enemy that dwells inside his house. Drinking one’s own blood in a dream
means paying one’s debts with second loan, or vanquishing one’s enemy.
Bleeding naturally in a dream means peace and comfort. Excess bleeding in a
dream means the opposite. The bleeding of an unwed woman means finding a
husband. Bleeding of a pregnant woman in a dream means a miscarriage and
for an elderly woman, bleeding means an illness. If one sees blood coming from
his anus in a dream, it means that he is tainted with the consequences of an evil
act, or it could mean a bad deal, or that he has earned unlawful money then
walked out of such a deal. To bleed in a dream also means being a spendthrift,
a money wasting family, or it could mean suffering from a venereal disease.
