neckband in a dream also could represent woman’s kindness, gentleness,
softness, protection and respect for her husband. Thus, for a woman, a neckband
in her dream represents her husband. If her neckband is made of silver, and if
it is wide, comfortable and well strapped to her neck in a dream, it denotes her
husband’s generosity, richness and forbearance. If the neckband is thin, then
it implies difficulties. If it is made of iron in the dream, it represents a strong
person. If it is made from wood in the dream, it represents a hypocrite. If a man
wears a neckband over a white or a green collar in a dream, it represents victory
in his life and comfort he will receive from an unexpected source. If he is a
merchant, it means profits, fame, honor and dignity. If he is a common person,
then the neckband means earning respect and fame. If a tight neckband is
strapped around one’s neck in a dream, it represents a stingy person no one can
benefit from. If he is a learned person, it means that no one benefits from his
knowledge. If he commands authority, it means that he disdains from giving
true judgment. To hire a servant who wears a silver neckband in a dream means
establishing a profitable business. A neckband in a dream also means impiety,
or it could be a sign of trustworthiness. If a man sees himself wearing a neckband
that is made of gold, silver, iron, copper or lead in a dream, it means that he has
abandoned his religious trust, forsaken his covenant and has become a profligate.

represents the mid-afternoon prayer, the ring finger represents the sunset
prayer, and the little finger represents the evening prayer. As for the fingers of
the left hand in a dream, they are interpreted to represent one's nephews. To
cross or intertwine one's fingers in a dream means difficulties and poverty. One's
toes in a dream represent the beauty of his character and denote his straight-
forwardness. Any defect or crookedness in them in a dream will mirror in
wakefulness. If a toe or a finger is bitten or crushed in a dream, it denotes evil
or perhaps an accident. If one sees milk coming forth from his thumb and blood
coming forth from his index finger in a dream, it means that he will marry a
mother, then will he marry her daughter, or it could mean that he will rape the

a little girl, a servant, a friend, or a brother. One's abdomen in a dream means
money, children, relatives or prosperity. If one sees his abdomen being cut open and washed, then stitched back to normal in the dream, it means blessings from
God Almighty, forgiveness for one's sins, and it could mean that one will receive
spiritual guidance. One's abdomen in a dream also denotes his good conduct,
amiable character, blessed enterprises and protection from the evil of the
accursed Satan. If one sees a newborn son or daughter coming out of his
abdomen in a dream, it means that such a child will be born and will grow to
govern that household. As for one's livers in a dream, they represent knowledge, money or children. If a man of knowledge sees his livers flying away from
his body like birds in a dream, it means that he will forget his knowledge, or if
one has children, they may die, or perhaps the government may seize his
property even if he has nothing. If one sees himself eating his own livers in a
dream, it means earning his livelihood. If they are cooked in the dream, then
they represent a lawful income, or they could mean gobbling the property of
one's own children. Ifa liver is removed in a dream, it means the death of a child.

three of them represent one's relationship with his wife. As for the ribs (See Ribs)
in a dream, they represent women. The loins or the spinal column in a dream

end or buttocks in the dream, it means giving high praises to an unworthy and
an impious person or commending him. The male and female sexual organs

in the dream interpretation. One's anus in a dream means a pouch, a store, a
resting place, or a coffer. The knee represents one's capital or one's attendance
to his work and earning his livelihood. As for the legs, they too represent one's

woman, and a woman's leg represents a man. If one's leg turns into wood or iron in a dream, it means that he will fail to earn his livelihood.
One's feet represent his parents, his livelihood, a journey or his wealth. (See Feet; Foot).
If one foot is broken or cut off in a dream, it means either the death of a parent or loss of half of one's capital. If one's feet turn into iron or copper in a dream, it means

Ritual bath
(Ablution; Ghusul: Ritual ablution; Wash) A ritual bath ( arb. Ghusul.
Islamic Law) is customarily performed on a festival day, or before the Friday
congregational prayers, before starting a pilgrimage, after recovering from an
illness, or is necessitated by the emission of sperms either during one’s sleep or
following a marital intercourse. A ritual ablution is also given to a deceased
person before his funeral and burial, or otherwise is taken by the undertaker
himself after washing the dead. To take a ritual ablution in a dream before the
Friday congregational prayers means purifying oneself, washing oneself from
sin, repenting from sin, serving one’s parents, or being true to one’s friends.
Taking a ritual ablution for any of the above reason during the wintertime and
using cold water in the dream means distress, trouble or a sickness. If hot water
is used, then it means profits, benefits and recovering from sickness. Taking a
ritual ablution in a dream before attending a festival means getting married.
Taking a ritual ablution after seeing either a solar or a lunar eclipses in a dream
means an adversity, and the same applies if one takes a ritual ablution in a
dream before the prayers of asking for rain. To take a ritual ablution after
washing a deceased person in a dream means abandoning one’s association with
heedless people. If the person who performs such an ablution is mentally
deranged, it means that he will wake-up cured from his condition. Taking a
ritual ablution prior to joining the sacred pilgrimage in a dream means
happiness, success, victory over one’s enemy, paying one’s debts, or reuniting
with one’s beloveds. Taking a ritual ablution before circumambulating the
sacred House in Mecca in a dream means working for one’s livelihood, serving
rich people, or caring for one’s wife and parents. If a sick person sees himself
taking a ritual ablution then putting on a new garment in a dream, it means that
he will soon recover from his illness. Taking a ritual ablution in a dream also
could mean the release of a prisoner, payment of one's debts, dispelling one’s
distress, or it could mean richness, prosperity, attending the sacred pilgrimage
in Mecca, or having a successful business. If one does not put a new garment
after taking his ritual ablution in the dream, it means that he will be able to
lighten his burdens, or recover his good health. Walking into a pond, or
descending a well, or stepping into a bathtub to take a bath in a dream means
marriage. Washing oneself with soap during such an ablution means dispensing
of one’s debts, or dispelling one’s stress. Washing one’s garment after taking a
Ghusul in a dream means correcting one’s conduct, pursuing the correct
religious life, paying one’s debts, or washing away one’s filth. If one sees a
deceased person washing himself before his burial in a dream, it means relief
for one’s dependents and increase of their wealth after him. Giving a ritual
ablution to a deceased person in a dream also means that someone will repent
for his sins at the hand of the undertaker. If a deceased person asks someone
to wash his clothes for him in a dream, it means that he needs someone to pray
for him, or to intercede on his behalf before his Lord, or to pay charity for the
benefit of his soul, or to pay his debts, or to fulfill his will, or to do him justice.
If one does fulfills the deceased person’s wish and washes his clothes for him in
the dream, it means the redemption of such a person. (Also see Ablution)

Sexual intercourse
(Adultery; Coitus; Fornication; Hugging; Instinct; Lesbian;
Molesting; Sexual drive; Sleeping together, Sodomy; Tribadism) If a man sees
himself having sexual intercourse with another man in a dream, it means that
both of them have lost their moral dedication, that have become aimless, turned
stingy toward their own dependents and generous toward others. It also means
loss of one’s capital, or divorcing one’s wife. If a poor person sees such a dream,
it means that he will fall sick, or attract an incurable disease. To have sexual
intercourse with a male in a dream also means falling into sin, committing the
unlawful, or engaging in sexual intercourse with a female member of one’s own
family, a blood relation, or a consanguineous person whom one is forbidden to
marry. Molesting a child in a dream means suffering from a great affliction.
Fornication with a young servant in a dream means suffering from continuous
stress and a lasting depression. Sleeping with a beautiful woman one recognizes
in his dream means profits. Sleeping with an ugly looking old woman in a dream
means the opposite. Having sexual intercourse with an unknown woman in a
dream represents the type of interactions and dealings one fosters with people
in general. Accordingly, and depending on the condition of the woman one is
sleeping with in a dream, one’s actions will substantiate. Sleeping with someone’s
wife in a dream means engaging in a profitable business with the husband. If
a sick person sees himself having sexual intercourse with his mother in a dream,
it means his death, for the mother here represent the earth. If a woman sees
herself engaging in tribadism, or a lesbian relationship with another woman she
knows in a dream, it means that she will confide her personal life to her, or
divulge all her secrets, become her intimate friend or a fan, shares opinions with
her and emulate her actions and look in public. If she does not know that woman
in the dream, it means that she will indulge in sin. If a married woman sees
herself engaging in tribadism with another woman in a dream, it means that
she will separate from her husband or become a widow. Engaging in sexual
intercourse with a deceased person, be it a man or a woman in a dream means
one’s own death, unless if one is travelling, then it could mean visiting that
country where the deceased person is buried. Any sexual intercourse in a dream
that culminates in ejecting semen and necessitates a complete ritual ablution
in wakefulness represents disturbed dreams, or engaging in a forbidden sexual
intercourse from the anus, or it could represent wet dreams. Having sexual
intercourse in a dream also signifies paying one’s debts, or it could mean relief
from pressures. Having sexual intercourse with a prostitute in a dream means
love for the world, or it could mean profits. Having sexual intercourse with one’s
wife in a dream means success in one’s trade. Having sexual intercourse with

Crocodile
(Alligator; Thief) A crocodile in a dream represents a policeman. A
crocodile in the water in a dream represents a person no one can trust, whether
he is a friend or a foe. A crocodile in a dream also represents a thief or an
untruthful merchant. If one sees a crocodile pulling him into the water where
he kills him in the dream, it means that one will be caught by a policeman who
will kill him, then steal his property. If one escapes from the crocodile in the
dream, it means that he will escape from such a danger in real life. In general,
a crocodile in a dream means insolence, sins, a bandit, unlawful earnings, fear
and depression. It may also mean the end of one’s life, portrayed by his
drowning. Seeing him in water is bad while seeing him on dry land means that
he is weak and humiliated. If a crocodile pulls someone into the waters in a
dream, it means that someone in authority will force him to do something he
despises. If one sees himself eating the meat or flesh of a crocodile, or if one sees
himself dragging a crocodile out of the water in a dream, it means that he will
triumph against his enemy or opponent. (Also see Alligator; Policeman; Thief)

Ishaq
(Also known as John in Western traditions. God’s prophet Ishaq, son of the
prophet Jacob, upon both of them be peace.) In a dream, seeing him indicates
adversities and hardships. If one has a son who ran away in disobedience to his
father, and if he sees God’s prophet Ishaq in a dream, it means that he will
return to his home and be obedient again. This dream also indicates a surge of
glad tidings, peace and tranquility. Seeing Ishaq (uwbp) in a dream also means
suffering from persecution by the senators of one’s town, or from some of his
relatives, and finally God Almighty will come to his help, and grant him back
his integrity and honor. If one sees him in his best form and radiant beauty, it
becomes a sign of glad tidings, whereby one’s progeny will engender leaders,
governors and righteous people. Seeing him in a dream also may mean coming
out of tight circumstances into a more relaxed ones, changing from heedlessness
into guidance, poverty into richness, and from disobedience to one’s parents to
obeying them again. If one sees himself transformed into Isliaq (uwbp) or to wear
his robe in a dream means that he may near his death then be saved from it.
Islam: (Religion of Islam; Surrender to God’s will; Submission) To see oneself as
a Muslim, praising God Almighty, thanking Him, facing the Ka‘aba in one’s
prayers, or to see oneself embracing Islam in a dream means straightening one’s
life, or repentance from one’s sins. If one sees himself renewing his Islam in a
dream, it means safety from plagues, sickness, or adversities. To proclaim the
two testimonies: ‘There is no god other than Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger
of Allah,” in one’s dream means relief from distress, or guidance after heedlessness.
Saying these testimonies in a dream also may mean returning to one’s parents
after having abandoned them. It also means returning to a place one has earlier
deserted, or to using earlier criterions in one’s life. If a Muslim recites these
proclamations in a dream, it means that he will testify to the truth in a court
of justice, or become known for his truthfulness. (Also see Exalting God’s one¬
ness; Exclamation of God’s sovereignty; Imam; Meadow; mosque; Quran; Pil¬

that people filled with ignorance will rule the land. This is particularly true
when the call is made outside the proper time. If a suitable person sees himself

govern a land which is as vast as his voice can reach in the dream. If one does
not fit the conditions of ruling, then it means that his enemies will increase in
number. If he is a merchant, it means that his business will grow. Hearing the

Almighty, to follow the jurisprudence He made obligatory upon humanity, and
to adopt the divine laws as their way of life and religion. If calling from inside
a well is done from within a Muslim country in the dream, it means that he is
a spy or an innovator who is introducing changes to God’s laws. If one sees
himself calling to prayers from the top of the Scared House of Kaaba in a dream,
it means that he is an innovator. If he calls to prayers while laying down in his
bed in a dream, it means that his wife is backbiting and slandering the
neighbors. If he makes the call at the door of a king in a dream, it means that
he will testify to the truth in a court of justice. If one’s call is made while
travelling in a caravan or in a marketplace in a dream, it means that he will
expose a band of thieves. If he makes the call to prayers from inside a ruin in
a dream, it means that such a place will be rebuilt and people will live in it. If
one sees himself calling to prayer from inside a bathhouse or while under the
shower in a dream, it means that he will suffer from a fever. If he sees himself
calling and no one is answering his call in a dream, it means that he belongs to
the company of unjust people. If he calls with a beautiful voice and the people
hearken to his call in the dream, it means that he is seeking the approval of
people in authority. If he sees himself calling to prayer while being naked, it
represents his recklessness and contempt about his own religion. Calling to
prayer standing on a pile of trash in a dream means calling a stupid person to
make peace but to no avail. Hearing the call to prayers given inside a marketplace

Ship
(Boat; Human being; Might; Mother; Prison; Star; Salvation; Stress) Seeing
a ship in a dream means escape from danger, overcoming adversities, recovering
from an illness, or it could represent rain after a severe drought. If one who is
experiencing adversities sees a ship or a boat anchored in a harbor in his dream,
it means that his adversities will be lifted shortly. If one sees himself pulling
it, or driving it on dry land in a dream, it means that he is a hypocrite or a pimp.
If he rides a ship along with righteous people in a dream, it means that he is
guided on the straight path and that his sins will be forgiven. If one reaches the
shore and leaves the boat in a dream, it means that he will live in safety and
happiness, and he will escape from the danger of his enemies. If one who is
dismissed from his work sees himself on a boat in a dream, it means that he will
be rehired to occupy the same office and regain his authority, or that he may take
a dangerous trip during which he may either die or escape from death. If one
thinks that the ship does not befit his class or rank in the dream, it means that
he will face danger. If one’s ship is drowning, and if another ship comes to its
rescue in the dream, it means that one will escape from a great danger to fall
into the hands of a strong person, or that he will escape from a danger, though
should he disobey its captain and abandon the second ship in his dream, it
means that he may disobey his leader and go astray. Recovering one’s ship from
the deep in a dream means regaining power. If the ship in one’s dream is
interpreted as power, it means that he will lose his power or authority. If the
ship is interpreted as burdens and difficulties, it means that he will overcome
them through prayers or giving charity, or taking a medicine if he is ill. If one’s
ship drown, and if he sees himself floating in the water holding to a panel or
debris from the ship in the dream, it means that he will face the wrath of
someone in authority. If he is holdings leadership position, it means that he may
lose it. If he is a merchant, it means that he may go bankrupt. If he still dies
from his trial in the dream, it means that he may be killed, and his death will
still be an escape from something he feared most. An empty ship in a dream
means business profits. Seeing a passenger ship transporting people in a dream
means safety. If the ship is floating still in the dream, it means imprisonment.
To hold to the rope of a ship in a dream represents a religious person who joins
the company a pious teacher. Even if one sees himself dropping the ropes, or
lowering the anchor in his dream, it means that he will remain in the company
of such a person. Riding a ship along with one’s family, relatives and friends in
a dream means honor, prosperity and escape from one’s enemies. If one sees
himself crossing the sea with a small boat in the dream, it represents a danger

to one’s religion, or they could mean complications. The sails of a ship in a dream

rudders, or the propellers in a dream represent the movement of the ship, or the
children of its owner. The condition of a ship represents the state of the person
seeing the dream or his living condition. If one rescues a drowned ship in a
dream, it means that he will discover a treasure, or it could mean marriage if
one is unwed, or a financial gift for one who works for a governor. If one sees
himself as a ship ebbing and stretching as the tide fall in the sea, then if the sea
calms in the dream, it means that he will receive a high ranking appointment,
leadership, authority and honor. If one sees a ship floating over a sea of blood
in a dream, it means adultery. If the ship sinks, and if some of its debris and
boards remain afloat in the dream, it may mean the death of one’s mother, for
one’s mother was once his ship. Buying a ship in a dream means getting married.
Carrying oars in a dream means knowledge. A flying ship in a dream means the
death of its rider. A flying ship in a dream also may represent another type of
vehicle, or it could mean a coffin or a funeral. If one dies inside a ship that has
sunk in a dream, it means that he will be saved from suffering in the hereafter,
and he will also escape from what he fears most in this world. If he finds a hole
in the ship in his dream, it means that he may escape from drowning. A ship in
a dream also represents a heavy built woman. In a dream, a ship also represents
the Bridge of Judgement {Sirat) that will be stretched on the Day of Resurrection
for the creation to cross into the land of the Grand Gathering. A ship in a dream
also represents salvation, avoiding ignorance, or overcoming temptation. If a
sick person sees himself riding in the morgue of a ship with dead people in a
dream, it means that he will escape from the trials of this world. If a healthy
person who is seeking knowledge does so in a dream, it means that he may meet
with a spiritual teacher to benefit from his knowledge and wisdom, and to escape
from ignorance. If an indebted person does so in his dream, it means that he will
repay his debts, while for a deprived person, he too will find plenitude and
acquire wealth from unexpected sources. If one sees his ship sailing to the shore,
then if it becomes amphibious, driving him on dry land in the dream, it means
that he will waiver in his faith and deviate from the path of truth to follow
innovations, hypocrisy and insolence. If he is not seeking knowledge, it means
that he will divorce his wife, then proceed to live with her in sin. If he is a
merchant, it means that his business will stagnate and he will seek unlawful
methods to market his merchandise. In a dream, a ship also represents good
deeds, righteous companions, associating with a wise man, a good fellowship,
praiseworthy deeds, a handcraft, stagnation of one’s business, fear, hope,
salvation, a mosque, a marketplace, one’s father, one’s mother, master, teacher,

and its body represents his body. Its oars represent his hands. Its front
represents his head. Its contents represent his brain. Its boards represent his

Tomcat
(Book of records; Cat; Reckoning; Siamese cat; Thief) In a dream, a tomcat
means a thief or a servant. A cat in a dream also represents an evil and a
treacherous woman. The same interpretation is given for anyone who compasses
people, or guards them, or someone who harms the interests of his employer
more than he benefits him. If a tomcat scratches someone or bites him in a
dream, it means that he will fall sick for a full year. The bite of a wildcat in a
dream is more dangerous and has greater implications. If one sees a tomcat
sitting peacefully and quietly in his house in a dream, it means that he will have
a comfortable, peaceful and a profitable year. Otherwise, a large wildcat in the
dream represents a troublesome year. Selling a tomcat in a dream means
spending one’s money in various charities. Eating a cat in a dream means
learning about sorcery. If one sees himself transformed into a tomcat in a dream,
it means that he lives from stealing and seeks what is harmful. A tomcat
entering one’s house in a dream represents a robber. Whatever a tomcat takes
from one’s house in the dream will be looted by such a thief. Killing or beating
a tomcat in a dream means catching a thief or killing him. If one extracts fat from
a cat in a dream, it means that he will receive stolen money or a share thereof.
Fighting with a tomcat in a dream means an affliction with a long and a
debilitating illness that will be followed by a complete recovery. If the tomcat
loses the fight, and if the man is already sick, it means that he will recover from
his illness shortly thereafter. Otherwise, if he loses in the dream, it means that
his illness has reached its peak. A cat or a tomcat in a dream also represent
reckoning, estrangement of one’s wife, her roughness with her husband, or they
could represent ill behaved children with their parents, fights, theft, adultery,
lack of loyalty, eavesdropping, taunting, roaring, clamor, a bastard son, a
foundling or an orphan. On the other hand, a cat in a dream could represent a
toadying person, dancing, being playful and kind, though awaiting to jump at
the first opportunity to spoil others’ peace. If the cat, the tomcat and the mouse,
or the lamb and the wolf become friends in the dream, it means hypocrisy,
affectation and loss of moral standards. A civet cat in a dream represents a man
who may have a suspicious look, though his character and conduct are exem¬
plary. (Also see Cat)

Stream
(Brook; Creek; Irrigation; Rivulet; Watering) In a dream, a stream
represents the course of one’s livelihood, his source of income, his shop, his
trade, travels and the like interests. A stream in a dream also could mean
festering wounds, waterskin, watering irrigation, the resting area on the
highway, one’s throat which is the watering access of his body, or it could
represent life if it is public property. If it is a private property, then it represents
the life of the person who digs out such a stream. A stream in a dream also
represents a good life, or the comfort of its owner. If its water flows over its banks
in the dream, then it represents sorrows, crying, or sadness. If one sees a stream
flowing through people’s homes in a dream, then such a stream represents a
happy life and particularly when its water is colorless and sweet tasting. If one
sees himself as the owner of a stream, a spring, or a watercourse which he
establishes as a charity in a dream, it means that he will become a leader, a
president, or happily serve his community. If one cleans a rivulet then finds it
filthy again, or finds it filled with trash in his dream, it represents diarrhea. If
he sees water flowing under his feet in a dream, then it means dropsy. If one sees
a stream of water running through a town where people are filling their jars,
drinking its water and thanking God for His blessings in a dream, it means that
a calamity is removed and is replaced with peace, safety and tranquility. If the
people are inflicted with adversities or a drought, then it means prosperity and
rains, food, or money and their merchandise will not stagnate. If the water in
the stream is murky, or salty, or running outside its canal, then it represents
a coming calamity that will cause mass sufferings, or a sickness such as cold in
the winter and fever in the summer, or it could mean that they will hear bad
news about some travellers, or it could represent a richness which is acquired
from an unlawful source, or it could mean that he will receive tainted money.
If one sees a watercourse flowing only in the direction of his house, then such
adversities will be his lot. If one sees a stream flowing in the direction of his
house, or garden in a dream, it means a marriage or conceiving a child. A stream
of flowing blood rather than water in a dream represents the deviation of one’s wife.
If one sees a stream running off its course, or damaging people’s crops in
a dream, it means bad news. Blocking the path of a stream in a dream means
separation between a husband and a wife, or avoiding a sinful action between
unmarried relatives. If one sees himself standing behind a rivulet in a dream,
it means that his wife will inherit him. If one sees the water of a stream flowing
toward his own home or garden, and if he finds that its water has turned into
blood in the dream, it means that someone will marry his wife after him.
Drinking fresh water from a rivulet, a stream, or a river in a dream represents
the joy of living or longevity. A murky water of a rivulet or a stream in a dream
means a fright, difficulties, or a sickness. Streams in a dream also represent the
veins and the blood that flows through the human body. (Also see Fountainhead;
Meadow; Spring)

Strand of hair
(Bun; Tuft; Wisp) If a pregnant woman sees a strand of hair in her
dream, it means that she will beget a blessed son. A strand of hair hanging over
one’s head in a dream means money. Carrying several tufts in a dream
represents one’s neighbors. If a woman sees herself having a long strand of hair
in a dream, it means that her son will become a leader. If she sees her hair thick
in the dream, it means that she will do something that will make her famous.
If people see her thick strand of hair, it means that she will be exposed for
something wrong she has committed. Black hair represents a respected and a
handsome looking husband. If the woman sees herself without a head cover in
a dream, it means that her husband has left her and he will not return back to
her. If she is not married, it means that she will never marry. If she sees herself
having charcoal colored hair in a dream, it means that she will live from her
husband’s wealth or inheritance. (Also see Black hair)

Tunnel
(Burrow; Hole; Underground passage) In a dream, a tunnel represents
trickery and deception. If one sees himself digging a tunnel or a hole for someone
else in a dream, it means tricking and deceiving him. If one enters the tunnel
that he dug in the dream, it means that he will fall in his own trap. If one enters
a tunnel or a burrow and cannot see light at the end of it, or if a traveller digs
a hole, enters it and can longer see the skies or the stars above him in the dream,
it means that thieves will rob him from his luggage, or that he will be high¬
jacked, or stopped by a band of highway robbers. If one sees himself taking an
ablution or a bath inside the tunnel or in the hole in a dream, it means that he
will arrest the robbers and recover his property. If one enters a tunnel and takes
a bath inside it in a dream, it means that he will pay his debts, or repent for his
sins, or if he is incarcerated, it means that he will be released. If one digs a tunnel
and draws water from it or discovers a hole filled with still water inside it in a
dream, it means that he earns his livelihood from trickery and deception. (Also
see Piercing a hole)

Marriage
(Cage; Digging a grave; Duel; Golden cage; Pearl; Sanctuary; Silver
cage) Marriage in a dream represents the providence of God Almighty and care
for His servants. Marriage in a dream also means imprisonment, indebtedness,
sorrow, distress, depression, carrying a liability, or endeavoring to achieve a
high ranking position. If one marries a known woman in his dream, it means
that he will endeavor to satisfy the normal responsibilities of a husband. If one
marries an unknown woman, and if he could not see her in his dream, it denotes
the nearing of his death, or it could mean moving from an old house into a new
one. If a sick woman sees herself getting married to a man she does not
recognize or know his name in a dream, it means that she may die from her
illness. If the man who sees himself getting married in the dream qualifies, it
means that he will attain a high ranking job or a suitable position. If one’s
wedding ceremony is made with witnesses only in the dream, it means that he
has made a covenant with God Almighty. If he performs a traditional wedding
ceremony with its celebrations and festivities in the dream, it means a new job,
or it could mean acquiring fame, or becoming renowned for one’s good reputation
or character. Marriage in a dream is also interpreted in association with a
trade. If one marries a woman who dies shortly after her wedding in the dream,
it means that he will perform a job that earns him nothing but hard labor,
toiling and stress. If one marries an adulteress in a dream, it means that he
is an adulterer. If one marries a vicious, aggressive or a dominating wife in a
dream, it means that his movements will be hampered with various restrictions.
If one marries a deceased woman in a dream, it means that he will revive a
profitable project he had earlier abandoned. If a man offers his mother in
marriage to one of his friends in a dream, it means that he will sell his house.
If a pregnant woman sees herself getting married in a dream, it means that she
will give birth to a girl. If she sees herself in her wedding night in a dream, it
means that she will beget a son. If a mother who has a son sees herself getting
married in a dream, it means that she will marry off her son. In general, the
marriage of a married woman, or of an unwed woman in a dream means
benefits. If a woman marries a deceased man in a dream, it means that she will
become lost and impoverished. If a married man sees himself getting married
to a second woman in a dream, it means profits. To marry the daughter of a
known man of knowledge in a dream means prosperity. If a sick woman marries
a man of knowledge in her dream, it means recovering from her illness. If a man
sees himself marrying a living relative who is in a degree of consanguinity that
precludes such a marriage in a dream, it means that he will sever his ties with
such a relative, or with her family. Otherwise, if that relative is already dead,
it means that he will contact her immediate relatives and establish a friendly
relationship with them. (Also see Cage; Duel; Sanctuary; Wife; Yoke)

Vulture
(Candor; Eagle; Enemy; Evil; Imbecile; Thieves) A vulture in a dream
represents a stupid, abominable and a lewd person. When seen during a
daylight dream, it means a grievous illness. If one sees a vulture inside his house
in a dream, it means sending help to assist someone in difficulty. Capturing a
vulture in a dream means a fight or war. A flock of vultures descending upon
a town in a dream represent an occupying army with merciless soldiers who will
plunder such town. If a sick person sees a vulture inside his house in a dream,

craftsmen, seeing a vulture in a dream means profits or benefits. As for

Skies
(Castle; Child; Firmament; Heavens; House; Mother; Oath; Ocean; Prison;
Teacher; Town; Wife; Wonders) In a dream, the sky represents itself. Whatever
descends from it or comes from that direction in a dream will materialize. If fire
falls from the sky over people’s homes in a dream, it means plagues, illness,
pleurisy, smallpox, or death and destruction. If fire falls over the marketplace
in the dream, it means higher prices. If it falls over the fields and farmlands in
the dream, it means that the crops could either burn, freeze, or be struck by a
swarm of locusts or by other harmful insects. If what falls from the sky indicates
prosperity, such as honey, oil, figs, barley, or money, etcetera, in the dream, it
means a good rain and a good harvest for that year. Whatever falls from the sky
of good or bad may represent the government and the hardships it inflicts upon
the people, or the benefits it may bring them. Climbing to the sky with a rope,
a ladder, or using a staircase in a dream means exaltation, rising in station, good
luck and support. If one climbs without a common medium in a dream, it means
fear and arrogance. If his intention in climbing is to spy on others in the dream,
it means that he may work as a spy. If one descends safely from the sky in the
dream, it means that he will escape and be spared the consequences of his sin.
If he falls and breaks or fractures a bone or so in the dream, it means that he
may suffer such accident in wakefulness. If a sick person sees himself climbing
to the sky, and if he does not return to earth in the dream, it means that he may
die from his illness. If he comes back in the dream, it means that his illness will
increase and his difficulties will reach their peak, though God willing, he will
recover from his illness, unless he falls into a hole in a dream. In that case the
hole represents his grave. If one sees the sky shooting arrows causing people
wounds, injuries and bleeding in a dream, it means taxes and confiscation of
properties by the government. If the arrows hit people’s ears and eyes only in
the dream, it means that major trials and temptations will strike at everyone.
If the arrows fall without causing harm to anyone, and if people rush to collect
them in the dream, they represent a booty that people will come to win, or a
divine gifts people will enjoy. To rise close to the sky in a dream means nearness
to one’s Lord. This is particularly true for pious people and for true believers.
Nearing the sky in a dream also represents a supplication needing an immediate
answer, and God willing such prayers will be answered. Nearing the sky in a
dream also could mean going before the governor of one’s town, or any person
from whom one may need something, i.e., a teacher, a man of knowledge, a
father, or a wife. If one sees the sky falling over his head in a dream, it means
that the roof of his house may cave in, or that he will die from an illness he
already suffers. If one sees himself climbing and entering the sky in a dream,
it means that he will die as a martyr. If one sees himself standing in the sky in
a dream, it means that he will command or admonish others. If one sees himself
in the sky looking down at something on earth in a dream, it means that he will
rise in station, then he will regret something he missed. If one sees the sky green
in a dream, it means prosperity and a good harvest. If one sees the sky turned
into iron in a dream, it means drought or scarcity of rain. If one falls from the
sky in a dream, it means that he may abandon his faith, become a reprobate,
or that he may be struck with a major calamity that will be driven by an unjust
person. If the iron sky splits open, and if an old man appears from behind it in
the dream, such an old person represents the grandfather of the people of that
town or tribe. Consequently, people will enjoy a good harvest, prosperity and
happiness. If it is a young man that appears in the dream, then he represents
an enemy and an evil that may befall the people following such dream. If a sheep
appears from the sky in a dream, then it means profits. If camels appear, then
they represent rain. If a lion appears in the dream, it represents an unjust ruler.
If the sky becomes one solid piece in the dream, it means drought. If it rips apart
and its doors become wide open in the dream, then it means rain or an answer
to people’s prayers. If one sees himself reaching out and touching the sky in a
dream, it means that he is seeking an important goal, and that he will fail to
attain it. If one sees himself rising near the lower heavens in a dream, it means
worldly gains, or profits and status in either material or spiritual realms. If one
looks toward the sky, whether to the East or to the West in a dream, it means
travels. If one sees himself stealing the sky and hiding it in ajar in a dream, it
means that he may steal a copy of the holy Quran and hides it with his wife.
If one sees the sky wide open in a dream, it means blessings and benefits. If one
sees himself rising toward the sky in a fiat posture in a dream, it means that
he will become emaciated, or suffer losses in his business. On the other hand,
if one sees himself rising without difficulty and without being laid on his back
in a dream, it means exaltation, success and safety from any harm that could
be driven by one’s enemies. If one bites the sky in a dream, it means that a
calamity will strike at him, or it could mean business losses, failure to attain
one’s goals, or an argument with one’s superior at work. If one sees himself
touring the sky then returning to earth in a dream, it means that he may become
an astronomer, or an astrologer and gain fame in his field. If one sees himself
leaning his back to the sky in a dream, it means that he may win a leadership
position, or win victory over his opponents. If one sees himself in the sky having
a form different than that of human beings in a dream, it means that he may
leave this world unblessed. If one sees himself hanging down with a rope from
the sky in a dream, it means that he will govern after someone else’s, or inherit
his post. However, if the rope breaks in the dream, it means that he may lose
such an opportunity. If one sees a lighted candle in the sky which luster and
brightness dims the light of the sun in a dream, it represents a solar eclipse. If
one sees the sky being build in his presence in a dream, it means that he lies
in his testimonies. Falling from the sky in a dream also could be a warning
against falling into sin. Falling from the sky in a dream with one’s head down
means longevity. If one sees himself in the sky but could not remember when
did he enter it in a dream, it means that God willing he is already in paradise.

Pregnancy
(Childbearing; Planting) In a dream, a pregnancy indicates woman’s
success, diligence and assiduity in pursuing her goals. In a dream, pregnancy
also means receiving recognition, respect and prosperity. If a man sees himself
pregnant in a dream, it means that he suffers from heaviness in his life, or it
could represent one’s fear of exposing his problems in public. In general,
pregnancy in a dream represents material gains. If a woman sees herself

secrets she maybe hiding. However, for a learned man, pregnancy in a dream

before marriage, or that she will marry an unsuitable person. If a barren woman
sees her self pregnant in a dream, it means a bad harvest for that year, or it could
mean a robbery in her neighborhood. If an unmarried woman or a young virgin
sees herself pregnant in a dream, it means that she will find a compatible
husband. Pregnancy in a dream has many meanings. In a dream, woman’s
pregnancy means wealth, and man’s pregnancy means pain and sorrow. However,
generally speaking, pregnancy in a dream also could mean prosperity and
material success. The extent of wealth is measured by the number of months of
such pregnancy and the size of one’s growth in the dream. This is true whether
it is a man or a woman in the dream. If a young boy who is under the age of
puberty sees himself pregnant in a dream, it represents his father, and if a young
girl who is under the age of menstruation sees herself pregnant, then it
represents her mother. If a man sees his wife pregnant in a dream, it reflects
his desire for material success. If one sees his pregnant wife delivering a baby
boy in a dream, it means that she will give birth to a girl and the opposite maybe
true, except if it is common for the person in the dream to experience in
wakefulness what he sees in his dream. If one sees himself delivering a baby
from his mouth in a dream, it means his death, or it could mean that he will use
poised and pleasant words in a conversation with someone he is careful not to
offend. If a man gives birth to a baby boy in a dream, it means that he will carry
a heavy burden then escape from it, or it could mean that he will vanquish his
enemy, or it could mean that he may escape from a treacherous woman. If a
pregnant woman sees herself delivering a child in a dream though having not

brother, brother in-law, or father in-law. If she is pregnant, it means that she
will beget a daughter. If a man sees himself wearing a waistband in a dream,
it represents a woman in his family to whom it is unlawful for him to marry. A
broken belt in a dream means a fight with one’s wife. If one’s waistband becomes
a snake in the dream, it means enmity with his brother in-law. If his waistband
is drenched in blood in the dream, it means that he may get killed because of

something that will bring limited benefits. If one loses his coat in a dream, it
means that he will be shielded from poverty and boasts about his status in

Dye
(Color; Expose; Hair; Henna; Hide; Gray hair) Applying henna or a dye to
one’s hair or hands in a dream represents a pharmacist, celebrations, glad
tidings, tenderness, or it could mean compassion. Dyeing one’s hair in a dream
also means veiling or protecting one’s personal life and that of others. To dye
the gray hair of one’s beard in a dream means ostentatiousness and adorning
one’s merchandise or deeds to make them look better than reality. Dyeing one’s
hair in a dream also connotes a display of blessings and favors, or it could mean
dictating one’s conditions to his enemy, if the person is in such position.
However, if not, it means difficulties, aggravation, distress, debts or dropping
off one’s ties with those who love him. Interpreting woman’s dyeing of her hair
in a dream is the same as that of a man. To dye one’s gray hair in a dream means
strength, dignity and valor. Applying henna dye to one’s head and not to one’s
beard in a dream means emulating the traditions of God’s Prophet, upon whom
be peace. To dye both the head and the beard in a dream means concealing one’s
poverty, though one will keep asking people to pay him respect or to recognize
him in their circles. If one’s hair accepts the dye in the dream, it means regaining
one’s status, though with less emphasis on his pride, or it could mean that he
will make contentment his new ornament or trim. If one uses a dye other than
what is commonly used, and if it works in the dream, it means that he will be
saved from an adverse condition through miraculous events. If the new dye does
not work in the dream, it means that his true nature will be exposed and he will
have no solutions to protect himself from defamation or public abuse. If he tries
to dyes his hair with dry henna clay, and if his hair still accepts it in the dream,
it means that he is an ignorant person, though he will ultimately repent for his
sins, amend his actions and improve himself. If a woman sees her hands dyed
with gold in a dream, it means that she will give all her wealth to her husband
and that she will be satisfied to see him happy, though in reality she too will gain
power and status in her family. If a man sees his feet dyed and tattooed in a
dream, it means that he will be struck with family problems. A dyed hand in a
dream means hardship in making ends meet. If one dips his hand into a laying
corpse in a dream, it means that he will witness a conspiracy. If one sees his
hands dyed in a dream, it also means that he has reached the end of the rope
with his money or business. If one sees his dyed hands wrapped or bandaged in
a dream, it means that he will lose a trial or a fight with his rivals, or that he
will fail to meet such a challenge again. Dyeing only the finger with henna in
a dream represents branches of dates or clusters of grapes. In general, dyeing
one’s hands with henna or one’s hair with regular dye as a makeup in a dream
represents joy for the husband and wife as long as they do not exceed the norms.
Dyeing one’s hands and feet in a dream means redecorating one’s house. If a poor
person sees himself dyeing his hands or hair in a dream, it means that he will
cover up the loss of his ablution during prayers or during his reading of the Holy
Quran or during other ritual occasions where he is required to have ablution
before proceeding. It could also mean that he cares little about attending his
prayers. As for women, dyeing means happiness, new clothing, receiving gold,
or a wedding celebration. If the dye exceeds the required surface of the hands
or the feet in the dream, it means being struck with fear and worries caused by
one’s business or friends. If a man sees himself in a dream dyeing his hair or
beard with other than henna, it means that he will suffer from what he fears
most. Dyeing or suppressing one’s feelings for a sick person means recovering
from his ailment. Dyeing one’s hair black in a dream means hiding one’s bad
conditions, spoiling the benefits of one’s deeds, or hiding one’s evil intentions.
This is taken from the practice of Egypt’s Pharaoh who sometimes dyed his hair
black, thus trying to hide his appearance and ignorance.

Stairway
(Conveyor; Steps; Travels) In a dream, stairways represent the vehicle
of rising in station, advancement in worldly gains, seeking the blessings of the
hereafter, and the rising of one’s station in the hereafter. A stairway in a dream
also could represent the days of one’s life and their term. If one sees a staircase
which he recognizes in the dream, it could represent the servant of a house, its
owner, or its accountant. If a sick person sees himself climbing an unknown
staircase which is leading him to the upper room from where he can see paradise
in the dream, it means that he may die from his illness and reach what he saw.
If obstacles hinder his way or impede his climb in the dream, it means that he
is detained, and the immediate blessings of such a gift will be veiled to him.
Descending a staircase in a dream means arriving from a journey, resigning
from one’s job, impeachment, or it could represent a pedestrian. If one’s descent
leads him to his family, house, or farmland in the dream, it means money. If
what he reaches at the end of the staircase is unknown, and if one meets people,
or souls he does not recognize in the dream, it also denotes what we have earlier
explained. If during one’s climb or descent he falls into a well, or if a giant bird
grabs him and flies away with him, or if a beast devours him, or if he steps into
a boat that sails away as he steps into it, or if he takes a step to find himself
riding an animal, or a vehicle of some type, the staircase then represents the
stages of one’s life and what he encountered during the journey of his life,
all replayed or screened before his eyes at the point of descending into his grave,
or as a book one reads after his death. If he does wake up and finds himself
healthy and fit, it means that he will become a tyrant, an unjust person, an
atheist and a reprobate. If one sees himself descending a staircase that leads
him into a mosque, lush foliage, green fields, a fresh breeze of spring, or into a
pond to take a ritual ablution to perform his prayers in the dream, it means that
he will become a true believer, repent for his his sins and abandon his
blameworthy conduct. Otherwise, if he descends upon adverse elements such as
snakes, lions, steep hills, corpses, or a field of scattered remains in a dream, then
it represents major trials and adversities. If the steps are made of clay in one’s
dream, they indicate positive signs. However, a stairway could be regarded as
unfavorable if its steps are made of backed bricks. If they are made of stones in
the dream, they mean business success, along with a heart like a stone. If the
staircase is made of wooden steps in the dream, it means reaching a high rank
which is compounded with hypocrisy. If they are made of gold in the dream, then
they mean achieving success and gaining authority. If they are made of silver
in the dream, they represent one’s entourage and attendants. Climbing a
staircase in a dream also means sharpening one’s intellect and awareness. In
a dream, a stairway is also interpreted to mean leading a life of ascetic
detachment and devotion. Coming near a staircase in a dream also means
attaining success and a growing piety. Each step represents a different station.
Climbing a staircase in a dream also represents the dangers one may have to
cross. Seeing a staircase with five steps in a dream represents the five time
prayers, or the pulpit where the Imam stands to deliver his Friday sermon. That
is why some interpreters qualify the staircase in one’s dream as glad tidings,
good news, prayers, charity, alms giving, fasting, or a pilgrimage. God knows
best.

Pot
(Cooking pot; Vessel) In a dream, a cooking pot represents one’s wife, his
livelihood and home, while the lid represents the husband. If the pot looks in
a good condition and of value in one’s dream, then it represents his nobility and
honor. A pottery cookware salesman in a dream represents comfort and one does
not need to travel to earn his livelihood, while a copper cookware or other types
of cookware salesman in a dream represent a livelihood based on travelling from
door to door. A cooking pot in a dream also represents a scholar or a man of
knowledge who is sitting in the teacher’s chair, while the meat, vegetables and
spices inside the pot represent his knowledge, wisdom and their benefits for the
seeker. A pot on fire with water boiling inside it in a dream represents a divorced
woman. A pot in a dream also represents a handsome looking man who cares
about his neighbors’ opinions. A pot in a dream also could represent a house¬
keeper . Whatever happens to it in a dream could affect the housekeeper. If there
is a sick person in a family, and if one sees a cooking pot he does not know what’s
inside it in a dream, the stove here represents his bed, the fire represents his
depression and the boiling water represents his worries. If the boiling stops, and
if the contents start to cool down, and if the fire is put off in one’s dream, it means
that he will recover from his illness. Putting a pot with meat and vegetables on
the stove in a dream means imposing oneself on someone to receive a favor. If
the meat is cooked in his dream, it means that one will greatly benefit from such
a person, and his earnings will be lawful. If the meat does not cook, it means that
whatever he earns through the other person will be unlawful. Stirring a pot in
a dream means backbiting someone. If one eats directly from the pot in a dream,
it represents money one could save otherwise beside other benefits. If the pot
one is stirring in his dream does not contain any meat or food, it means that he
will ask a poor person to do something beyond his means, and consequently he
will not benefit from his doing. A cooking pot in a dream also represents one’s
relentlessness toward his enemy. A pot in a dream also denotes one’s content¬
ment and his acceptance of his destiny and of the divine providence. A pot in a
dream also represents a woman or money. The sauce represents lawful earnings
that are accompanied with some hassles. (Also see Earthenware pot; Jar)
Potter: In a dream, a potter represents someone who handles pots and pitchers,
or he could represent a servant, a housekeeper, women, girls or daughters.

Pearl necklace
(Covenant; Husband; Quran; Wisdom) A pearl necklace in a
dream represents woman’s beauty and ornaments. A pearl necklace, or a
necklace made of corals in a dream also means piety, fear of wrongdoing, or an
expression of reverence before God Almighty. All of that is subject to the value,
beauty and clarity of the necklace, or the number of gems it holds. As for a
woman, a pearl necklace in a dream represents her husband, or her young son.
If a man sees himself wearing a pearl necklace in a dream, it means that he is
a seeker of knowledge, spiritual understanding and wisdom. It could also mean
fulfilling a covenant, making a promise, or getting married. If one’s wife is
pregnant, it means that she will give birth to a son who will grow to be a wise
person, a man of knowledge, or a judge. This interpretation is possible in most
cases except if the necklace breaks in the dream. In this case, if the necklace is
broken, it means that one will break his promise, or forget his learning, become
heedless, suffer eviction, deportation, or be exiled from his home or country. If
one sees himself wearing one or even two pearl necklaces in a dream, it means
that he subscribes to God’s revelations, memorizes God’s Words, recites the holy
Quran, speaks words of wisdom, and that he is one of the carriers of the divine
trust who demonstrates trustworthiness, piety, trueness, religious commitment
and beauty of character. All depending on the beauty, radiance and clarity of
one’s necklace. If one sees himself in a dream carrying many necklaces and
decorations, and if he finds them heavy and unbearable to carry, it represents
his incompetence, or his inability to complete a job. (Also see Necklace)

private life. Drapes in a dream also represent a confidant or a trustworthy friend
or a wife who covers the pitfalls of her husband, protects his business and guards
him from looking at other women. If a man of knowledge sees such a dream, then
drapes represent his integrity, his honorable wife and children. Unidentified
drapes in a dream represent worries or distress. If the drapes are hanging over
one’s front door in the dream, it means that such difficulties will come from the
world. Old drapes in a dream represent adversities which will not last. Torn
drapes in a dream mean happiness and joy. If they are torn vertically in the
dream, they represent a quick joy. If they are torn horizontally in the dream,
they mean slander against one’s family. Black drapes in a dream mean worries
because of money, a child, or the authorities. White or green drapes mean good
results. Drapes hanging over the door of a mosque in a dream represent spiritual
problems or religious failure. Seeing drapes out of their place in a dream mean
adversities, and seeing them hanging over one’s windows has no interpretation.
In a dream, seeing drapes hanging over a strange environment means fears
which will culminate in satisfaction. Drapes adorned with gold means hallu¬
cination or dispelling one’s worries. If an unmarried person sees drapes in his
dream, it means that he will get married and protect his chastity, or it could
mean a business that will shelter him from poverty. If a fugitive or a scared
person sees himself covered with drapes in a dream, it means a shelter from
what scares him. Falling through a hole while hanging to a drape in a dream
means taking a long, frustrating, toiling and a distant journey. The bigger the
drapes are in a dream, the more difficult is one’s adversity.

number of people gathering around a bowl to eat from it in a dream, it means
a reunion of his clan, or it could represent the place of his dwelling. If they are
people of true actions, it means that they will become friendly with him. If one
urinates in a bowl or in ajar in a dream, it means that he will sexually abuse
members of his own family. Abowl in a dream also represents one’s beloveds and

needs and serving the interests of his family. Eating from the dirt one piles from
digging in his dream represents a swagger, or someone who acquires money
through deception. Seeing oneself inside a hole in a dream also means divorce.
To see oneself outside of such a hole looking at it in a dream means having an

represents a king or a judge who deals with Islamic jurisprudence. If a king, a
ruler, or a judge sees that the Holy Book does no longer exist, or if he sees it
burning, or if its contents are washed away in a dream, it means his death. If
one sees a ruler or a governor handwriting a copy of the Holy Book in a dream,
it means that he is a just person who uses the divine laws in making his decision.
If a judge sees himself handwritings copy of the Holy Book in a dream, it means
that he does not share his knowledge, and that he is audacious about his rank
and status. If a religious scholar or a theologian sees himself writing a copy of
Holy Book in a dream, it means that he will profit from a business deal. If one
sees a king, or a ruler swallowing the Holy Book in a dream, it means that he
may die soon. If a judge swallows the Holy Book in a dream, it means that he

revelations in a dream means that one may preside over people. If one sees
himself carrying the Holy Book, or even any book of revelations, and if when he

that he portrays himself to be what he is not, or that he impersonates a scholar,
or pretends to be religious. Kissing the Holy Book in a dream means revering
what it contains and adhering to what it commands. If one looks into the pages
of the Holy Book and finds its lines crooked in a dream, it means that he lives
satisfied with what he has, and fulfills his required duties accordingly. Stealing
a copy of the Holy Book and hiding it in a dream means that one cheats in
performing his own prayers, or fails to do them properly. If one sees himself
looking in the Holy Book, then writing from what he is reading on his own
garment in the dream, it means that he interprets the Quranic revelation
according to his own liking. If one sees a Holy Book sitting in his lap, then if a
chick comes and picks all the words written therein in a dream, it means that
one will beget a child who will memorize and read the Holy Quran as an
inheritance, and benefit from the piety of his father, and as a trust, a lawful
earning and a source of strength in his life. Buying a copy of the Holy Book in
dream means benefits, prosperity and becoming a renowned and a distinguished
religious scholar. If the Holy Book is snatched away from someone’s hands in
a dream, it means that he will lose his knowledge, or perhaps lose his employment.
If one sees himself spreading the pages of the Holy Book on a flat surface in a
dream, it means that he is seeking wisdom which he will get, or that he may
receive an inheritance. If one sees himself putting the Holy Book over his
shoulders in a dream, it means that he will receive an appointment, or be
entrusted with a duty to guard, or that he will memorize the Holy Quran. If one
finds himself trying to eat the pages of the Holy Book in a dream, it means that
he is a regular reader of the Quran. If one sees himself trying to eat the pages
of the holy Book but is unable to do so in a dream, it means that he tries to
memorize the Holy Quran from time to time but keeps forgetting what he
learns. (Also see Quran)

one’s enemy, then forgiving him, or digging a river, a water irrigation, or
transporting dead people from one country to another. It also could represent
a great advent or a miracle by the fact that he (uwbp) had performed a miracle
by God’s leave and returned his father’s sight. Joseph’s shirt in a dream means
dispelling distress, sorrows and recovering from illness. If the shirt is spotted
withblood in the dream, then it means separation and imprisonment. Ifhis shirt
is torn from the back in the dream, it means a false accusation. If a woman sees
Joseph (uwbp) in a dream, it means that she will lose her comfort and sight. She
will also live unhappy because of her separation from her beloved, and she will
fall in love with a great man. If the woman who is actually suffering from such
adversity sees such a dream, it means that God Almighty will turn to her with
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
(uwbp) as a young boy in a dream means having little or no luck with one’s
brethren. He will be lied to, suffer from imprisonment and other trials before
he recuperates, to rise and triumph over them. They will all then become his
subject. One who sees God’s prophet Joseph (uwbp) in a dream will also be a
pious, generous, charitable, and shares his good advice with those who need it,
or ask for it. If Joseph (uwbp) talks to someone, or gives him something in a
dream, it means that one will understand dream interpretations and learn
about Chronicles, or the two biblical books of History. Seeing him (uwbp) in a
dream also means marriage to a beautiful woman who will truly love her
husband. (Also see Jacob; Sale; Introduction p.p. xvi, xvii, xuiii)

to his father. If a woman sees God’s prophet Noah (uwbp), or God’s prophet Lot
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that she is disobedient to her husband, and rather

a woman who comes from a powerful and a strong family. If the stove or the
fireplace is made from yellow copper or brass in the dream, then such a woman

Tongue
(Interpreter; Pen; Speech writer; Stinger; Translator) In a dream, one’s
tongue represents his translator or his business manager. One’s tongue in a
dream also represents the chief cause of sin. Moving one’s tongue without
speaking in a dream means committing a sin. Seeing an increase in size, width,

Having two tongues in a dream means acquiring a second language or a second
trade, using a proof other than one’s own in a court of justice, or winning victory

of his business, or it could mean poverty. If black hair grows over one’s tongue
in a dream, it means a fast coming evil. If gray hair grows over one’s tongue in

is cut off in a dream, it means the death of his interpreter or his speech writer.
The human tongue in a dream also represents his pen and his signing authority.
If one’s tongue becomes long and reaches the skies in a dream, it means that he
will be impeached or deposed from his leadership position following his tyranny
and injustices. If the tongue of a leader or a ruler becomes long in a dream, it
also signifies the expansion of his power and the infallibility and effectiveness
of his commands. One’s tongue in a dream also symbolizes a milk sucklingbaby,
a lion in his den, or an intelligent warrior. Thus, if one lets a lion out of a lair
in a dream, it denotes his tongue, or hurting people’s feeling or reputation with
one’s tongue. If one sees himself without a tongue in a dream, it may mean the
death of an infant. If one has to appear in court and sees his tongue cut off in
a dream, it means that his proof will be rejected by the judge. If only the side
of one’s tongue is cut off in a dream, it means that he has doubts about the
testimony of his witness. If he is a merchant, it means that he will lose an
important business deal. If he is a student, it means that he will not complete
his schooling. It is also said that when one’s tongue is cut off in a dream, it means
that he is a forbearing person. If the wife’s tongue is cut off in a dream it means
that she is a chaste and a pious woman. If a wife cuts off the tongue of her
husband in a dream, it means that she will flirt with him and show him
tenderness and love. Cutting off the tongue of a poor person in a dream means
giving something to an impudent person to shun off his evil. If a poor person cuts
off the tongue of another poor person in a dream, it means a fight between them.
If one’s tongue sticks to his palate in a dream, it means that he will deny or reject
someone’s right, refute the truth, or lie about a trust he received to keep for a
time. Eating one’s tongue or biting on it in a dream represents an act one will
regret. If a governor sees that in a dream, it means that he swindles people’s
money and receives bribes. Biting on one’s tongue in a dream also means
remaining mostly silent, withholding one’s advice, or controlling one’s fury and
anger. Biting one’s tongue in a dream also could denote gluttony. Cutting off
one’s tongue in a dream means invalidating one’s argument or proof, or
preventing him from asking for anything. The cutting off of a poet’s tongue in
a dream means giving him money for his recitation. Seeing one’s tongue black
in a dream means that one may preside over his own people. If he is a wretched
person, it means that he is a liar. If someone who is scared of something sees
his tongue in a dream, it means that he will lose his battle and become subject
to defamation and humiliation. If a wretched person sees himself having many
tongues in a dream, it means that he will have a large family. Having many
tongues in a dream also means speaking many foreign languages. If one’s tongue
is split in half in a dream, it means that he is a liar. Having many tongues and
of many colors in a dream means telling different and contradictory stories, or
it could represent a music writer. If people touch one’s tongue or suck it in a
dream, it means that they are acquiring his knowledge. It also represents people
toadying or lobbying in official business. One's tongue in a dream also repre¬
sents a hidden treasure, a hidden knowledge, a toadying servant, an employee,
one’s house, a vehicle, a skilled enemy, a seedling of a fruit bearing tree, a bad
wife, a barren woman, one’s spoken and irretrievable words, earnings, collecting
garbage, following someone’s traces, a policeman, or a prisoner. An animal’s
tongue in a dream represents one’s life or death, because for an animal, his
tongue is like a hand through which he takes things. If a scholar’s tongue is cut
off in a dream, it means that he will lose his argument, or it could mean the death
of his assistant, student or son. Losing one’s tongue in a dream represents the
malicious joy of one’s enemy, family, or neighbors for one’s losses, or it could
mean the death of a beloved, severing a relationship, or a plant disease that will
affect one’s fruit bearing trees. Perhaps losing one’s tongue in a dream could
mean separation between husband and wife, divorce, losing one’s job, or moving
to a new town. Having two tongues in a dream also means backbiting others,
or having two faces with people, for people say that so-and so has two tongues
or two faces. If the second tongue does not impede the person from speaking in
the dream, then it denotes his truthfulness, love and affection toward others.
One’s tongue in a dream also may represent something one fears, such as the
collapsing of a roof over his head, or it could represent an enemy. It also means
isolating oneself from people of knowledge and wisdom, or it could mean
remaining mostly silent, minding one’s own business, or offering devotion and
being grateful to God Almighty for His gifts and blessings. One’s tongue in a
dream also represents a captured prisoner of war, or a snake hiding in its pit.
Looking at one’s tongue in a dream means controlling what comes out of it. (Also

Death
In a dream, death signifies religious failure, corruption and rising in status
in the world. This interpretation applies if one is carried on a bier or on a litter
and his funeral is accompanied with crying and lamentation except if he is
buried in the dream. If one witnesses his own burial in the dream, then it means
that his case is hopeless and that he will be seized by the world. One's followers
or assisting entourage will be as many as those who walk in his funeral in the
dream. However, he will conquer people and ride over their shoulders. If one dies
in his dream but does not have the look of dead people and there is no crying
over his death or a funeral in the dream, it means that one of his properties will
be torn down, or that a room in his house will collapse, or that a wall will cave
in, or it could mean that a pillar will breakdown. Such a dream also may signify
weakness in one's religious standing or blindness of his heart. Despite that, he
will live a long life. If one dies in a dream and finds himself looking like a dead
person, and if his body is washed and wrapped in a shroud, it also means
weakness in his religion. All the sorrow and crying one sees in this case,
represents his rising in rank and promotion in the world. Death in a dream also
signifies travels, or it could mean poverty. One's death and burial in his dream
also means that he will die short of repentance. If one comes out of his grave after
his burial in the dream, it means that he will repent for his sins before dying.
Death in a dream also signifies marriage, for a deceased person is washed and
perfumed, and a bridegroom also takes a bath and anoints himself with
perfumes on his wedding day. If one dies and is carried over people's shoulders,
though they do not bury him in the dream, it means that he will conquer his
enemy and should he qualify for leadership, he will attain it. To come back to
life after dying in a dream means that one will become rich and dispense with
poverty, or it could mean that he will repent for his sins. This dream also means
the safe home coming of a traveller. The death of an unknown woman in a dream
means absence of rain or dearth, and if she comes back to life in the dream, it
means rain. In general, the death of a woman in a dream means the death of a
child in wakefulness and vice-versa. If a deceased person tells someone in a

than one carries a deceased person to bury him in a dream means acquiring
unlawful money. Carrying a deceased person to bury him in a dream means
working for the governor.If one sees a deceased person sick in a dream, it means

funeral in the dream, it means that someone among his children or in the family of that person will shortly die. If no crying or sorrow follows his death, then it
means that someone in his progeny will get married. What a deceased person
says about himself in a dream is true, for he has reached the abode of truth and
he can exercise no falsehood in that abode. If a deceased person tells something
in a dream, and if it does not take place, then it means that one is experiencing
confused dreams. If one sees a deceased person well dressed in a white or a green
garment, smiling and happy in a dream, it means that he is in that state one
witnessed in his dream. Otherwise, if one sees him disheveled, dirty, frowning
or crying in a dream, this also denotes his condition in the hereafter. If one sees
a deceased person sick in a dream, it means that his condition is contingent upon
the satisfaction of his debts and that he is awaiting the Divine justice to take
its course. Performing a funeral prayer for deceased people in a dream means
asking for forgiveness on their behalf or visiting their graves, or it could mean
admonishing someone with a dead heart, or it could mean bidding farewell to
traveling people or taking care of needy people. If one's wife dies and returns
back to life in a dream, it means making profits from a plantation or a farm.

behind a deceased person in a dream means following his footsteps or emulating

in a dream, it means that he will get married. If a sick person gets married in
a dream, it means that he will shortly die. If a married person dies and gets
buried in a dream, it means that he will divorce his wife or break a business
partnership or separates from his brothers, sisters and friends, or it could mean
that he may emigrate to another country. Otherwise, if he has already migrated
from his homeland, it means that he will return to it. Death in a dream has
positive connotation for someone in fear of something or a sad person or a sick
person. The death of one's brothers in a dream means the death of one's enemies,

person who saw him in his dream, or it could mean that one needs him to pay a debt he left behind or to ask people to forgive him his sins or to fulfill his will.

something he left. If he looks beautiful, happy and well dressed in the dream,
it means that such happiness will become the inheritance of his descendants.
If one sees a deceased person busy, worried and ill dressed in a dream, it means
that he is engaged in a struggle that can only subside by the will of God
Almighty. If he is sick in the dream, it means that he is answerable to God
Almighty for his religious negligence. If the deceased person's face looks dark
or opaque in the dream, it means that he died as an unbeliever. If one sees a
deceased person sprightly, pleasant and casual in a dream, it means that one's
dream is mere hallucination, or that he is experiencing disturbed dreams, for
dead people do not joke and have their own duties to respond to. If one's deceased
father or mother come back to life in a dream, it means relief from distress and
abolishing of his fears. This is particularly stronger when one's deceased mother
is seen in the dream. Resurrecting a deceased person in a dream means giving
guidance to an unbeliever or admonishing an innovator. This also could mean
admonishing heedless people who will repent for their sins. If one sees a
deceased person die again in a dream, it means that someone by the same name
will shortly die. If a deceased person complains about a migraine headache in
a dream, it means that he is being questioned about his religious negligence or
