Interpreted by Ibn Sirin
Nasal mucus
(Blowing one’s nose; Snot) In a dream, nasal mucus means a son
or a daughter. To blow one’s nose in someone’s house in a dream means marrying
someone from that family, or betraying the house master by having a secret
affair with his wife. If a mother blows her nose in a dream, it means that she
will wean her child. If the wife of such a friend wipes the nasal mucus of her
husband’s guest in a dream, it means that she will betray her husband and carry
the child of his friend. If one blows his nose in a dream, it also means paying a
debt, or it could mean rewarding someone for a favor. Blowing one’s nose and
using someone’s bed sheet in a dream means betraying him with his wife.
Blowing one’s nose in someone’s handkerchief in a dream means betraying him
with his house servant. Clearing one’s nose from a nasal congestion in a dream
means dispelling distress. Wiping and washing someone else’s nose in a dream
means concealing his secret life in front of his wife. Eating one’s nasal mucus
in a dream means cheating one’s son in his money. A congested nose in a dream
represents a pregnant wife. If a beast or a bird comes out of one’s nose when he
sneezes or blows his nose in a dream, it means that he will beget a son from a
secret affair with a servant or an employee. If a sable comes out of one’s nose
in a dream, it means that he will beget a son who will grow to become a thief.
If a pigeon comes out of his nose in the dream, it means that he will beget a girl
that will grow to be insane. Blowing one’s nose and using one’s own shirt in a
dream means committing adultery with a sacrosanct member of his own family
or a blood relation. If one sees his nose gloppy with mucus in a dream, it means
that his fecundity and sexual appetite will bring him many children. Nasal
mucus in a dream also means an illness, a cold, charity or a will. (Also see Phlegm)

Arched bridge
(Bridge; Stone bridge; Viaduct) An arched bridge or a viaduct in
a dream represents suspicious matters or mundane questions or worldly vs.
ungodly concerns. An arched bridge or a viaduct in a dream also could represents
one’s wife, or it could mean dispelling of one’s worries or trouble. Driving over
an arched bridge or through a viaduct in a dream means riding a vehicle . An
arched bridge or a stone bridge in a dream also signifies richness, luxury,
longevity, a sickness, renouncing one’s allegiance, or it could mean breaking a
promise. An arched bridge in a dream also could represent a middle man, a wise
man, or a ruler, except if the bridge leads to a loathsome place, or to a dead end.
Crossing an arched bridge that leads to the palace of a ruler in a dream means
receiving money, or it could mean getting married to a noble person. An
unknown bridge in a dream represents the world and particularly if it connects
the city with the cemetery. It also could represent a ship, or the Bridge of the
Day of Judgement, for it is the last hurdle before reaching paradise. If one
crosses an arched bridge in his dream, then it means that he will cross the abode
of this world into the abode of the hereafter and particularly if one meets
departed souls from the world or enters unknown places or sees uncommon
structures, or if a bird carries him by air, or if a beast swallows him, or if he falls
into a ditch or flies into the heavens in his dream, all of which also means
recovering from an illness or undertaking a long journey, or it could mean
returning home from a long journey. If on the other side of the bridge one ends
in a fertile farm, luscious fields, or meets with an old woman in his dream, it
means money, benefits and prosperity. If the other side of the bridge leads to
a mosque in the dream, it means that one will achieve his goal, fulfill his
intention or perform a pilgrimage to God’s House in Mecca. If one becomes a
bridge in a dream, it means that he will acquire extensive powers or becomes
an inspiration to others, or that people will come to need his authority and help.
Crossing a wooden bridge in a dream means meeting with a group of hypocrites.

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.
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)
Skin inflammation: (Thinning; Shedding one’s skin) If one sees his skin thinned
or inflamed between his legs in a dream, it means that he will marry a rich
woman who will give him her wealth. If one sees himself shedding his skin or
skinning himself in a dream, it means money he will part with, and if he is sick,
it means his death. (Also see Dry skin; Skin)

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
connection with a missing child. As a man in the dream, and if she is pregnant,
it means that she will beget a son who may die in his early youth, but if she is
not pregnant, it means that she is no longer fertile. If one sees himself flying with
wings in a dream, it means travels. If one sees himself transformed into a
wooden staff in a dream, it represents his insolence. If one sees himself
transformed into an iron rod in a dream, it means longevity. If one sees himself
transformed into a bridge in a dream, it means that he may become a ruler, a
wise man, or a man of knowledge whom people will seek to benefit from his
wisdom. If a person sees his sick child turn into a bird in a dream, it means the
death of the child. If one sees himself turned into a beast in a dream, it means
that he will be segregated from the believers to live alone because of his evil
qualities. If one sees himself turned into a deer, a gazelle or an antelope in a
dream, it means that he will become obsessed with his sexual life, or that he will
become mentally deranged to the degree of indulging in bisexual practices. If he
turns into a pig in a dream, it means prosperity surrounded with absence of
human dignity. If one sees a steer transformed into a wolf in a dream, it
represents a government employee who will turn unjust. However, according to
Islamic interpretations of the human transformation into a lower category of
creatures phenomena, if such transformation takes place in real life, it connotes
a curse and a punishment, and it does not last for more than three days, and
it will culminate in death. (Also see Changing form)

Mankind
(Conduct; Quality; Magnitude) The quality of humankind in a dream
may represent the quality of the like creations. Thus, a beneficial bird may mean
a praiseworthy person, a beast may represent the like quality in man, a harvest
projecting a particular person denotes human qualities of a lesser magnitude,
etcetera. (Also see Human being; Man)
Interpreted by Ibn Sirin
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.

Resurrection
(Day of Reckoning; Day of Resurrection; Last Day; Reckoning;
Rising of the dead; Trumpet of Resurrection) Seeing the Day of Resurrection,
or Doomsday in a dream is a serious warning for a sinner, or it could represent
a warning for someone who is contemplating a sinful act. Seeing the Day of
Resurrection in a dream also denotes justice. Beingthe only person resurrected
on such a day means one’s death. Standing up awaiting one’s judgement on the
Day of Resurrection in a dream means travels. If one sees himself and his wife
being the only people who are brought for judgement of the grand Day of
Gathering in a dream, it means that he is being unjust. If a warrior sees the Day
of Resurrection in a dream, it means that by God’s decree, the aggressor shall
be defeated. The land of the grand gathering in a dream represents a chaste
woman or a noble man. The blowing of the Trumpet of Resurrection in a dream
represents the salvation of the righteous ones. Seeing any of the great ex¬
traordinary events or signs that shall precede the Day of resurrection in a dream
means glad tidings for a believer who does good, and a warning for a disbeliever
to correct himself and repent for his sins before its coming. Seeing the Day of
Resurrection in a dream also denotes that some of the major signs are actually
taking place, such as blood shedding, spread of evil, belligerence of atheism,
pride about wealth, ruling of the working class, building high rises, the end of
the era of kings on earth, or it could remind the person of the prophesied signs,
such as the rising of the sun from the West, the emergence of a beast that will
speak with a human tongue, the rising of the Imposter (arb. Dajjal. Antichrist),
etcetera. Seeing the Day of Resurrection in a dream also represents the spread
of evil, the presence of an extended police force, and the ruling of large armies
and dictatorships around the world. Thus, seeing the Day of Resurrection in a
dream is a reminder and a warning to the one who sees it. If one sees the graves
splitting open, dead people resurrected back to life and are walking out of them
accompanied with their angels in a dream, it means that justice will prevail in
that land. If one experiences the resurrection in a dream, then discovers that
the world went back to continue its prior course , it means that justice will
dominate that land for a while, then it will be followed by a tyranny that will
be carried by people who are not even suspected to be of such character. Such
a dream also could be interpreted to suit a person who is seeking the impossible,
or one who is adamant at pursuing the path of wrongdoing, falsehood and lies.
Recognizing the eminent final signs of the Day of Reckoning in a dream means
that one is unaware of his heedlessness and such dream constitutes a warning.
If one’s reckoning is easy in a dream, it denotes his wife’s piety, compassion and
love for him. If one’s reckoning is detailed and painful in a dream, then it
represents major losses. If one’s good deeds weigh heavier than his bad deeds
in the dream, it means that his devotion is true and that his reward will be
greater. If one sees himself carrying the scale to weigh his own deeds in a dream,
it denotes his righteousness and correctness. If one sees an angel handing him
his records and telling him to read his own book in the dream, it also means that
he is on the right path. Walking on the bridge of the Day of Judgment, carrying
one’s own records and crying in a dream means that one is praying for God’s
forgiveness and to ease his reckoning. If one sees the Doomsday in a dream, it
means that he will escape from dangerous enemies, or that perhaps a major trial
will befall the dwellers of that place. If one crosses the Bridge of Judgement in
a dream, it means that he will escape a major trial, or perhaps it could represent
a major hurdle one may have to cross in this life. If one sees himself carrying
his book of records in his right hand in a dream, it means that he will win
righteousness, wealth and honor. If one sees himself carrying his book of records
in his left hand in a dream, it means that he will fall into sin and the consequent
poverty and need of others, for wealth and adultery do not mix. If one witnesses
the emergence of the Imposter ( Antichrist ) in a dream, it signifies new trends,
innovations and masses straying from the straight path. (Also see Intercession;
Reckoning; Rising of the dead; Trumpet of Resurrection)

Driving force
(Demanding; Exacting; Pushing someone; Retaliation; Yielding) In
a dream, a driving force signifies retaliation by something, or compliance and
submission to someone together with vigilance and wonderment about what
might happen next. If one is driven by a human being in a dream, it means that
he is pushed into committing a murder or that he is hired to attack someone.
If one is driven by a beast, a lion or a bird of prey in a dream, it means humiliation
by a superior person, or suffering from a disease.

Wrestling
(Fight; Struggle) If one sees himself wrestled to the ground in a dream,
it means that he may lose his wealth. However, the one who is wrestled to the
ground in the dream will ultimately be victorious. The winner in the dream is
the loser in wakefulness. If there is a witness during the fight, then it could mean
that the winner in the dream may become the winner in wakefulness. This could
also happen if the winner in the dream has better preparedness, or if he is
fighting for his food, such as in a struggle between a beast and a human being.
If one sees two friends fighting a wrestling match in a dream, the loser in the
dream has better standing in wakefulness. Wrestling in a dream also could
mean a sickness that may befall the loser, or it could denote the consequences
of an illness. If one sees himself battling with a beast, and if he kills the beast
in the dream, it means relief from difficulties and dispelling of his sorrows and
sufferings. If one reaches the throes of death in his fight in the dream, it means
that he will triumph over his enemies. (Also see Wrestling match)

Milk
(Instinct; Nature; Profits) In a dream, milk represents nature, instinct, or
easy and lawful money. However, curdled milk in a dream represents unlawful
money. If a man or a woman discover that they are carrying milk in their breast
in a dream, it means building of one’s savings. If a man sees milk flowing from
his breast in a dream, it means wealth, prosperity and that new opportunities
will rise from every direction. Woman’s milk in a dream means recovering from
an illness. If a woman sees herself carrying milk in her breast in a dream, when
in reality she does not have it, it means that she will breast feed a new born.
If a woman sees herself breast-feeding a baby, a man, or another woman in her
dream, it means that the source of earnings will be hampered or restricted to
both the suckling person and to the one who is breast-feeding him. Hiring a wet-
nurse to breast-feed one’s child in a dream means raising a child to be like his
father, or to have the character of one’s father. Sucking milk from a woman’s
breast in a dream also means prosperity and profits. Drinking the milk of a horse
in a dream means receiving love and affection from someone in authority and
earning benefits from such a relationship. Drinking the milk of a mare in a
dream means a meeting with a ruler. In general, cow’s milk, goat’s milk, or
sheep’s milk in a dream represent lawful earnings. Milking in a dream means
craftiness and cunning, or it could mean prosperity. Milking an Arabian she-
camel in a dream means working in an Arab country. Milking an Asian Bactrian
camel in a dream means working in another country. If blood comes out of the
glands of a she-camel instead of milk in a dream, it means deviation from God’s
path, or it could represent a tyranny. If a venom flows from one’s glands instead
of milk in the dream, it means earning unlawful money. If a merchant, or a
business man milks any milk producing animal in a dream, it means profits.
Sucking the gland of a pregnant she-camel, one, two, or three times in a dream
means steadfastness in one’s religion, performing one’s obligatory prayers,
distributing charity, acquiring knowledge and wisdom. Milking a camel and
drinking its milk in a dream also means marriage to a pious and a chaste woman.
If one is already married, then it means that his wife will beget a blessed son.
If a poor person sees himself milking a cow and drinking its milk in a dream,
it means that he will earn enough money to satisfy his basic needs. Drinking
sheep’s milk, or goat’s milk in a dream means profits, happiness, comfort and
joy. Lioness milk in a dream also means money or conquering one’s enemy, or
justly opposing the ruler of the country. The milk of an eagle in a dream means
power and victory. Tiger’s milk in a dream means avowing one’s enmity toward
someone. Drinking the milk of a jackal or a wolf in a dream means paying a fine,
extreme fear, suffering losses, or lack of determination, or it could mean
presiding over people and skillfully defrauding them of their wealth. Drinking
swine’s milk in a dream means changes in one’s state, altering one’s mind and
focus. However, drinking a little of it in a dream may mean acquiring lawful
earnings, though drinking a lot of it in the dream could mean receiving unlawful
money. Drinking bitch’s milk in a dream means feebleness of mind, or senility,
or it could represent money earned from an unjust person, or it could mean
presiding over one’s local community, or becoming the governor of the town.
Drinking the milk of any beasts in a dream represents doubt about one’s
religion. Drinking zebra’s milk in a dream also means an illness. Drinking the
milk of a deer or a gazelle in a dream represents small earnings. The milk of
non-milk producing animals or birds in a dream means that one’s wish will
come true. The milk of predatory animals and stingers in a dream means
making peace with one’s enemy. Drinking snake’s milk in a dream means
performing a deed that is pleasing to God Almighty, rejoicing, or escaping from
a calamity. The milk of a fox in a dream denotes a passing illness which will
be followed by borrowing a small amount of money, or it could mean recovering
from an illness. Drinking donkey’s milk in a dream also represents an illness,
while drinking the milk of a she-ass in a dream means profits. Cat’s milk in a
dream represents an illness, experiencing life’s adversities, or it could denote
generosity. Seeing milk spilled on the ground in a dream means corruption,
tyranny and blood-shed on earth that will equal the amount of the spilled milk.
Sheep’s milk in a dream means honest earnings. Cow’s milk also means wealth.
A mule’s milk in a dream means financial straits, adversities and horror. The
milk of a sable in a dream means an illness or fear. Pouring milk into the drain
or wasting it in a dream means losing money, or it could mean longevity,
pregnancy, knowledge, or a scandal that will expose one’s private life. Curdled
milk in a dream means distress. Rabbit’s milk and horse’s milk in a dream
means having a righteous name, or giving a righteous name to one’s newborn.
Human milk in a dream represents a trust one should not waste or give to other
than its rightful owner. The milk of an unknown animal in a dream means
energy and strength for a sick person, release from prison, illegal seizure of
property, or extortion and blackmailing. (Also see Breast-feeding; Colostrum;

Mountain
A mountain in a dream represents a great and a noble man who
possesses a strong and a commanding voice, who commands good administration
of his affairs and an excellent leadership. It also can be interpreted as a son, a
difficult and austere woman, or a businessman. If the mountain is rounded or
flat in the dream, it means difficulties or distress. A mountain in a dream also
could mean achieving one’s goal, a journey, or fulfilling a promise. If the
mountain is standing distinct from other mountains in the dream, the above
meanings become stronger. If the mountain has pasture and stores a source of
water, and if it is used as a permanent guarding post, then it represents a pious
ruler. However, if it stores no water, and if no pasture grows therein in the
dream, it represents a tyrant and a ruler who is an atheist, for in that case, it
is dead and does not glorify God Almighty, nor can people benefit from it. In a
dream, a mountain that stands high is alive, but a crumbling mountain which
has turned into a pile of rocks is dead. If a person sees himself climbing an erect
mountain, eating from its plants and drinking from its water, and if he qualifies
to govern, it means that he will be appointed to a governing post under the
auspices of a stringent ruler, though his subjects do receive benefits from his
government. The size of benefits the governor will acquire is equal to the
quantity of food and the measure of water he drinks from it in his dream. If the
person is a merchant or a business man, a mountain in his dream represents
profits and earning a good reputation. If climbing the mountain is easy, then
there are no benefits in that climbing in the dream, for there are no benefits
without hardships. If at the end of his climbing one thanks God Almighty for
what he has reached in the dream, it means that he will become a just ruler.
If he calls to prayers on the top of a mountain or performs his prayers thereat
in the dream, it means that he will be appointed to govern. If one sees himself
descending a mountain in a dream, it means loss of rank, business losses, or
regret. If one is accompanied with his king and soldiers in a dream, it means
that he is in the company of God Almighty and that of His angels, therefore,
he shall be victorious, whereby, he can win a war, conquer an enemy, or
renounces his attachment to the world. If climbing a mountain with difficulty
means distress, then descending it in a dream means relief. If climbing means
gaining a higher station, then descending in a dream means losing rank. If one
sees himself climbing a mountain, though at a certain height he finds himself
no longer able to climb or to descend in the dream, it means that he will die
young. If one sees himself falling from a mountain in a dream, it means that he
will fall into sin. If he falls and breaks a leg in the dream, it means that he will
become despised by his superiors. A mountain on fire in a dream represents the
death of a dangerous person. Leaning against a mountain in a dream represents
friendship with someone in authority. Living in the shadow of a mountain in a
dream means earning one’s livelihood from such a person and living happily
there. Carrying a mountain in a dream means carrying the responsibility of
managing the business of a notable merchant, and such responsibilities will
bear heavy on him. If the mountain is radiant with lights, it means that one’s
responsibilities will be light too. If he sees a mountain descending from the
heavens in a dream, it represents a visit of the local governor to that locality.
If one sees the mountain rising into the skies in a dream, it means that the
governor of that town will be dismissed. Throwing stones from the top of a
mountain in a dream means insulting others. If the mountain is beautifully
dressed in the dream, it means that one will command a greater authority.
Seeing a mountain at a distance in a dream means a journey. If one sees an
earthquake hitting a mountain in a dream, it means that calamities will befall
that land or country. If an evildoer sees a mountain in his dream, it means that
he will surely suffer for his sins. Swallowing a mountain in a dream means
commanding and controlling ruthless and strong men. Climbing a mountain
until one reaches a flat surface in a dream means serving orphans, or nursing
sick people. Entering a cave inside a mountain in a dream means reaching
safety. The good or evil emanating from seeing a mountain in one’s dream
depend on its fertility or bareness. Climbing a mountain and enjoying its
vegetations and its sweet fresh waters in a dream means sheltering one’s
chastity in the company of one’s wife, or learning a knowledge or a trade that
will satisfy one’s needs. Climbing a mountain through a straight path in a dream
means facing things the way they are. If one sees mountains moving forward
with him, it means a war or a major conflict between people of knowledge.
Falling down from the top of a mountain into the middle of beasts, crows,
vultures, snakes, mammals, mire, filth, or rats and their different kinds in a
dream means abstaining from sins, or refraining from innovation if escaping
from them leads one into a mosque where he can enter to pray, or a garden where
he can rest in peace. If the mountain crumbles, and if it is transformed into ashes
or dirt in the dream, it means that whoever is meant in that dream shall lose
his devotion and waste his life. (Also see Ascending in the skies)

bad company, or into a beast’s den, etcetera, means evil consequences, or it could
