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

frequenting a ruler and remaining constantly wary of him whether one obeys him,

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

community. A dead osprey in a dream means death. If thieves or robbers see an

evildoing. If an osprey caries someone in the air in a dream, it means rising in

Thief
(Assassin; Illness; Robber) In a dream, a thief represents an illness,
deficiency in one’s character, or a physical ailment. If the thief is a black man,
it means that the illness relates to one’s black bile. If the color of his skin is red,
then it relates to one’s blood. If the color of his skin is yellow, then it relates to
his galls. If the color of his skin is white, then it relates to his chest and phlegm.
Whatever a thief takes in the dream should be interpreted in relation to the
substance of what he took. If he takes nothing from one’s house, then it denotes
a passing ailment. If one catches the thief, or holds to his shirt in the dream,
it means that he knows the cure. A thief in a dream also represents an assassin,
the angel of death, a visitor, or someone asking for marriage. If there is a sick
person in the house and a thief enters that house in a dream, it means the death
of the ailing person. If a thief comes to one’s house and takes nothing from it in
a dream, it means the recovery of sick person from his illness. A thief in a dream
also can be interpreted to represent a cunning person, a deceiver, an adulterer,
a hunter, a backbiter, someone who asks for things that do not belong to him,
a lion, a snake, a Satan, eavesdropping, or one’s mind, desire and passions. If
a scholar sees a thief in his dream, it means that he will learn wisdom from an
anecdote. A thief in a dream also represents a liar, or the humiliation inflicted

his own esteem. Such a person will be well recognized in wakefulness. A broker

Blacksmith
(Jailer) In a dream, a blacksmith represents a strong personality, a
leader, or a powerful and a skillful ruler. A blacksmith in a dream also
represents the angel of death. Seeing a blacksmith in a dream or being one,
indicates both happiness and adversities. To be brought before a blacksmith in
a dream means an accident that will bring one before a person in authority for
intercession. Otherwise, it could mean seeking the fellowship of a worthless
person. If one sees a sick or a deceased person sitting with a blacksmith in a
dream, it means that he is in hell, and particularly when his face is blackened
from the smoke, or it could mean that he may be imprisoned. (Also see Bellows)

Butcher
A butcher in a dream represents the angel of death. Taking a knife from
a butcher in a dream means falling sick, then recovering from one’s illness to
become strong and healthy again. In a dream, a butcher also represents a man
who causes destruction or evil, and particularly if he is seen holding his cutting
knife, or if he is wearing a white uniform stained with blood. If one sees himself
as a butcher wearing clean cloths, it represents longevity. A good looking
butcher in a dream represents a prosperous culmination of one’s life, or
changing one’s trade. If someone looks at him with despise or in the wrong way
in the dream, it means that something isunlawful in what he sells. If the butcher
is a man in the dream, he then represents the angel of death. Whatever place
he appears in will bear the consequences. A butcher in a dream also represents
an unjust person. In a dream, if one sees a butcher who specializes in selling
animal heads, he represents a guardian of people’s estates, or a treasurer of a
company, he also could represent adversities or death. If the animals’ heads
cannot be identified in the dream, and if they still have their skin, hair, and are
dripping blood in the dream, then it means the disappearance of the people of
knowledge and that knowledge will become selectively disseminated by political
leaders. Cattles’ heads here represent people in danger. Buying an animal’s
head from a butcher in a dream means asking one’s superior for a teacher for
a special training, a coach, a continuing education program, or a better job. If
a butcher slaughters an animal for fun in a dream, it means suspicion about
one’s spiritual standing. Walking in a butchers market in a dream means
adversities, sufferings, a quick death for sick people, loss of wealth for rich
people, or the fear of people who are under oppression, or the scare of a person
in debt concerning his family or property, or the fears of a person awaiting a
court judgment. It is also said that a butcher in a dream represents tyranny and
bloodshed. If a prisoner sees a butcher in his dream, it means that he will soon
be released fromjail. Seeing a butcher in a dream also signifies safety, dispelling
fears, protection, silence, vanquishing one’s enemy, or it could mean meeting

Fever
In a dream, a fever means paying one’s debts, for fever in wakefulness is
an atonement for sins. Fever in a dream also means a threat and a menace. If
one sees someone he knows suffering from fever in a dream, it means that he
will get involved in a business that will require him to lose his religious
commitment. Fever in a dream also means wearing the garment of a revered
person. Fever is the messenger of the angel of death and his Warner. It reminds
the person to repent before death comes and to corrects his conduct with his Lord
before meeting Him. A feverish shiver in a dream means negligence and disdain
regarding one’s religious duties. If one sees that he died and was washed and
shrouded in preparation for burial in a dream, it means that he is persistent in
indulging in sins and that he is careless about the consequences. Such a warning
is only seen in a dream by an insolent sinner, if he is lucky. Fever in a dream
also may connote entering a bathhouse or a sauna and suffering therein from
heat, exhaustion and thirst. (Also see Bathhouse)
