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

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.
If one sees radiance, or scintillating rays of light coming through the sky in a
dream, it means guidance. If he sees dark clouds coming through the sky in a
dream, it means that he could stray from God’s path. If he sees a scourge
descending from the sky in a dream, it means that plagues and adversities will
befall the people as a chastisement for their sins, or for crimes they have
committed. As for gnostics and people of knowledge, seeing the sky in a dream
means clarity, vision, placing one’s interests in heavenly matters, or travelling
to distant lands, or engaging in importing and exporting goods. Climbing into
the sky in a dream also means falsehood, false beliefs, lies, or talking about God
Almighty without the proper knowledge or guidance. Climbing into the sky in
a dream also could mean seeking one’s livelihood, satisfying one’s needs, or
fulfilling a promise. Skies in a dream also represent the ocean because of their
vastness and the countless number of creation living therein, or they could
represent the ripening of fruits, or the conclusion of one’s work, or they could
represent one’s helmet, armor, wife, money, religion, death, or they could
indicate slander and falsehood against someone who descends from them after
being raised, and they could mean making peace with one’s enemies, or they
could represent the shares allotted for each one of God’s creation, the good and
the bad, people’s sustenance and that of beasts, gains, losses, blessings or
afflictions. (Also see Ascending in the skies; Celestial spheres; Heavens; Star)

Hand mill
(Laboring; Livelihood; Millstone; Travel) A hand mill in a dream means
overcoming distress, pain, or satisfying one’s needs. It could also mean richness
after poverty, marriage, a servant, or moving into a new house. If someone sees
