Friday
( arb. Jumua, the sixth day of the week.) Recognizing Friday, the sixth day
of the week in which the believers gather for their congregational prayers in a
dream means receiving God’s blessings, recuperating a lost property, receiving
compensation for one’s losses, and changes in his financial conditions from
tightness to ease. If one sees people gathered to pray the congregational Friday
prayers at the grand mosque while he is still in his house or shop, and if he hears
the call and segments of their prayers, or if he suspects people to be leaving the
mosque to return to their homes in the dream, it means loss of his status in that
town. If one joins the congregational prayers in the dream, it means that he will
receive protection and honor in that town. If one thinks it is Friday in his dream,
then the meaning will be more pejorative than laudatory. Joining the congre¬
gational Friday prayers in a dream also may connote a pleasant journey with
anticipation of a financial reward one may receive. Joining the Friday con¬
gregational prayers in a dream is a sign of joy and living to join one of the two
festive congregational prayers of the end of Ramadan or that of the pilgrimage
season. The Friday congregational prayers in a dream also represents the
pilgrimage of the poor people, or satisfying one’s debts. It also means anticipating
a relaxed financial conditions, or meeting with an old friend or a beloved after
a long separation. (Also see Pilgrimage; Preachr)

Jewelry; Precious stone; Stone) Seeing a Carnelian-red stone in a dream means
dispelling poverty. At the beginning of the creation, of all stones, the Carnelian-
red was the first stone that testified to God’s Oneness. If one sees himself in a
dream concluding his ablution or ritual bath with the essence of a Carnelian-
red, it means that he owns something blessed. Such blessings will manifest in
one’s work and success in his material as well as spiritual life. A Carnelian-red
stone in a dream also represents one’s progeny, good religious conduct, good
character, while seeing the white variety of this stone has a stronger meaning
and a better attribute than the red. (Also see Aqlq canyons; Aqiqah rites)

one's hands in a dream, it indicates benefits. If such a life is a malignant one,
then it means the opposite. If one takes someone by the hand in a dream, it
means that he will help him and save his life. If something sprouts in one's hands
or if one's hands turn into iron, or a vegetable in a dream, it means negative

strength, wealth, leadership, money, proof, a craft, or work. The condition in
which the palm of one's hand looks in a dream indicates the state of one's health
and fitness. Clapping one's hands in a dream could either mean joy and
happiness, or it could mean nothing. Wearing a glove in one's hand in a dream
means ceasing the course of wrongdoing. Slapping one's own face with both
hands means sorrow, sadness or calamities. Hitting the back of one's hand into
the palm of the other hand in a dream means separation. In a dream, the fingers
of the right hand represent the daily five time prayers. The thumb represents

represents the mid-afternoon prayer, the ring finger represents the sunset

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-

of a near breaking in a dream mean distress, sorrow, fears and depression. If

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
represent one's progeny. One's back in a dream (See Back) represents his strength,

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 a dream represent a good father or one's profession. What comes or goes into
the male organ or woman's vagina in a dream of good or bad will reflect in their
lives. Seeing one's penis in a dream means children, money, pride, state, or
authority. The testicles represent one's livelihood, one's daughters, protection
and maintenance. The meaning of the penis and the testicles may be transposed
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
capital, paying attention to one's work and conduct. Man's leg represents a
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

could mean bad news if one is afraid of something, or if he is travelling. As for rich
and noble people, riding an osprey in a dream means death, while for poor people

Poverty
(Beggar; Enamored; Emaciated; Hobo; Homeless; Indigence; Love; Men¬
dicant; Poor) Poverty in a dream means richness in wakefulness. Seeing oneself
poor and hungry in a dream means that one will wake up to a great meal, or it
could mean that he has stored sufficient provisions and satisfactory sustenance
for sometime to come. If one sees himself as a poor beggar in a dream, it means
that he prays incessantly and often asks God Almighty for extra favors and
blessings. Seeing a group of needy people and beggars in a dream connotes the
death of a rich person in that locality, and it is a sign for poor people to go and
collect the charitable donations his heirs will distribute after his death. If
someone sees himself asking for something, and if he is given what he is asking
for in a dream, it means that he will receive money without trouble, or that he

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,

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

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.

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

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,

Grave
(Burial; Tomb; Sepulcher) A grave in a dream represents a prison and a
prison in a dream represents a grave. If one sees himself living in a grave in a
dream, it means that he will be incarcerated in a prison. Building a grave in a
dream means building a house. If one enters a grave but does not witness a
funeral in his dream, it means that he will buy a house. Digging a grave in a
dream means getting married, though through tricking the woman to get her
consent. Standing over a grave in a dream means committing a sin. If one sees
himself digging a grave and upon completing his work, if he discovers that what
he has dug is standing on the surface of the earth and has no walls in the dream,
such ground represents the abode of the hereafter. If he then enters it in his
dream, it signifies that his life term in this world has come to its conclusion. If
he does not enter it in the dream, then there are no consequences to his dream.
Seeing a known grave in a dream is a proof of what is true and a sign of what
will unfailingly come. An unknown grave in a dream represents a hypocrite.
Building a tomb on the roof of one’s house means longevity. Visiting the
graveyard in a dream means visiting people in prison. Raining over the graves
in a dream means blessings from God Almighty upon the people of the graves.
Graves in a dream also represent distant travels, bewilderment, a wife, or they
could mean a prison. Filling a grave with dirt in a dream means longevity and

of a scholar, then it means wanting to acquire his knowledge. If it is the grave
of a rich person in the dream, then it means becoming rich or receiving an

instance, the knowledge or wisdom one is seeking will be true, except if the
person in the grave is dead in the dream. A stone tomb or a sarcophagus in a

Prison
(Cage) Imprisonment in a dream means benefits, money and comfort. It
also could mean the reversal of one’s condition for the worst. Becoming a
prisoner in a dream also could mean making unnecessary and wasted efforts to
unveil a secret. In general, prison in a dream means difficulties and humiliation.
If one sees a known personality or a government administrator imprisoned or
jailed, it could mean the same. If one sees himself incarcerated in a large prison
in a dream, it means that he will stand before a strong person who will delegate
an important responsibility to him, and from which he will gain spiritual
advancement. If he is incarcerated in an unknown jail which is built from plaster
in a dream, then it represents his grave. If one sees himself locked and tied-up
inside a house in a dream, it means a positive advancement in his life. If in such
a place one sees himself being tortured in a dream, it means that his benefits
and profits will be greater. If a woman sees herself imprisoned in a dream, it
means that she will marry an important person or an older person. If in one’s
dream the prison is administered by a religious authority, it means that one
correctly prescribes to his religion. If it is a civil prison, then it means adver¬
sities, sufferings and distress caused by hypocrisy and by blaming others. An
unknown prison in a dream means the world. A prison in a dream also
represents an ill-natured wife, a difficult cause, silence, or controlling one’s
tongue, the perfidy of one’s enemy, accusations, allegations, associating with
rich people, one’s grave, suspension of travels because of an illness, losing one’s
drive, poverty, or unhappiness. Entering a prison in a dream also means
longevity, or reuniting with one’s beloved. If one chooses to live in a sanctuary
away from people in a dream, it means that he will be protected from sin. If a
sick person leaves his prison cell in a dream, it means that he will recover from
his illness. If a prisoner sees the gates of his jail open, or if there is a hole in the
wall, or a ray of light, or if the ceiling of one’s prison disappears and he can see
the skies and stars above him, or if he can see them through the walls of his cell
in a dream, it means that he will escape from jail. A prison in a dream also
represents the safe return of a traveller, or the death of a sick person. If one sees
himself imprisoned and tide-up by someone in authority in a dream, it repre¬
sents adversities he wishes for them to be removed. Walking out of such an
imprisonment in a dream means relief from such adversities If one is travelling,
it means that he is a heedless, and if he is sick, it means that his sickness is a
prolonged one. It is also said that imprisonment in a dream may mean that one’s
prayers are answered and that his difficulties and distress will be removed. If
one sees himself incarcerated in an unknown jail of an unknown location and
whose dwellers have uncommon appearance in a dream, such a prison then
represents his grave. If a sick person sees himself walking out of an unknown
prison, or out of a tiny house into a large open space in a dream, it means that
he will recover from his illness and fully enjoy his life. If one sees himself
incarcerated in a prison he does not recognize in a dream, it means that he will
marry a woman through whom he will prosper and have children. If one sees
himself tied-up inside his own house in a dream, it means that he will profit and
witness blessings that will show in his household members. If one who is
experiencing difficulties in his life sees himself tied-up to a chair or to a wall in
a dream, it means that his problems and fears will be dispelled. If one sees
himself building a prison in a dream, it means that he will meet a righteous man,
or an Imam who will guide him on the straight path. A prison in a dream also
represents paralysis, arrogance, self-deception, or incarcerating troublesome
people. If one sees a deceased person in jail in a dream, it means that he is in
hell. If one sees himself imprisoned in a dream, it also means that he may enter
a forbidden place, a house of a prostitution, or a tavern. (Also see Cage; Imam;

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)

Angels
(Celestial beings; Heavenly beings) If one sees the heavenly angels (arb.
Mala’ika) coming before him to congratulate him in a dream, it means that God
Almighty has forgiven that person his sins and endowed him with patience,
through which he will attain success in this life and in the hereafter. If one sees
the heavenly angels greeting him or giving him something in the dream, it
means that his insight will grow, or that he maybe martyrized. If one sees angels
descending upon a locality that is raging with a war in a dream, it means that
the dwellers of that place will win victory. If the people are suffering from
adversities, it means that their calamities will be lifted. Flying with angels or
visiting the heavens in their company in a dream may mean that one will die
in the station of a martyr and receive God’s utmost blessings. If one feels scared
of the angels in his dream, it means that a fight, an argument or awesome trials
will befall that locality. In general, to see the angels descending from the
heavens to the earth in a dream means enfeeblement of those who have doubt,
and strength for those who have faith and certitude. If one sees the angels
prostrating to him in a dream, it means that all his needs will be satisfied and
he will be endowed with good conduct, good behavior and a blessed fame. If one
sees them looking like women in the dream, it means that he lies before God
Almighty. If a pious person sees an angel telling him in a dream: “Read God’s

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

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

dawn Fajr prayers in a dream indicates a vow one pledges. Praying the mid¬

to his Lord. If one could not find the direction of the Ka‘aba in his dream, it means
that he has doubt about his faith. However, if one sees himself facing the holy
Ka‘aba in the dream, it means that he is walking on the straight path. If one sees
himself wearing a white garb and reading the Quran in the dream, it means that
he will join the caravan of pilgrims to Mecca. God knows best. (Also see Death;
Imam; Pharaoh)

Righteous people
(Companions of God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace; Follow¬
ers; Successors) Seeing God’s blessed people and His righteous ones, or any of
the early companions of God’s Messenger (uwbp), whether such a companion is
known or not in a dream represents blessings in one’s life and denotes one’s
correct following of their example, and their advice or comments in one’s dream
must be heeded. To see oneself as one of such true ones, or to enter their circles
in a dream means that one is following their example and enjoying or suffering
similar trials to theirs, then he will triumph over his enemies. To see one of the
companions living in a city in a dream also represents the joy, happiness,
prosperity, and justice the inhabitants of such a city enjoy under the leadership
of a righteous governor. (Also see Companions of the Prophet; Scholars; Serving;
Shepherd)

and blessings. If one sees himself being merciful and happy in a dream, it means
that he will memorize the holy Quran by heart.

Conciliation
(Compromise; Peace; Reconciliation; Settlement) Making peace
with one’s adversary in a dream means disagreement in wakefulness. However,
reconciliation between two adversaries or friends in accordance with the
prescribed laws in a dream means unity, repentance from sin, guidance that
pleases God Almighty, blessings and profits. It also could mean an argument
with the person seen in the dream. If one sees himself making peace with an
adversary in a dream, it means that he will call upon a heedless person to walk
on God’s path. Making a settlement with an adversary over money in a dream
means profits for the lender. In a dream, signing a peace agreement between two
enemies in the battlefield means safety and prosperity, intending to get married, or building a business partnership.
Conciliation between arguing drunkards over what they are drinking means enmity between people. If two groups
of opposing trends compromise or consent to respect each others’ philosophy in
a dream, it denotes the birth of a new ideology, innovations and trials. If
someone invites a litigant to making an out of court settlement in a dream, it
means that he is admonishing people to follow the divine guidance.

Clouds
(Concealment; Gloom; Dream; Life; Rains; Skies; Soldiers; Sufferings;
Vapor; Water) In a dream, clouds represent the course of life which provides
people with rainwater to drink, water to wash their dirt, water for their crops
and sustenance. Clouds in a dream also represent knowledge, understanding,
wisdom, clarity as they show the divine kindness. Clouds in a dream also
represent an army or friends who carry the water and the water represents life
and the original element from which they were created. Clouds in a dream also
represent ships, airplanes, or if they are black or carry stones or bring thunder,
then they represent the antagonistic character of a leader who deprives his
people from their rights or causes them to suffer through restrictive laws or
harsh mandates. If one sees a cloud inside his house or descending upon him in
his room in a dream, it means that he will join the company of believers or
receives an award, or that he is endowed with wisdom, or should he wish for a
child, his wife will conceive one. If he is a merchant, it means that his
merchandise will arrive to its port of destination. If one sees himself riding over
a cloud in a dream, it means exaltation or marriage to a pious woman, or that
one will attend a pilgrimage should it be his wish. Otherwise, should he wish
for it, he will become renowned for his knowledge and wisdom. Should he
qualify, it means that he will lead an army, or that he will rise in rank, or that
he will be sent as an emissary of his government or as an ambassador. If people
are expecting clouds to water their farms, and should one see masses of clear
clouds carrying rains and coming in that direction in the dream, it means a
calamity. If the clouds carry poisonous rains or acid rains or polluted rains, or
if they are driven by heavy winds, or if they carry fires or dust or ashes or rocks
from a volcano, they mean that a calamity will strike that locality, or that they
will receive news about travellers the majority of whom will perish during a trip.
Clouds also mean innovations and man made religions that may spread throughout
the land. If one sees himself merging with the clouds in a dream, it means that
he associates himself with a person in authority or a wise man or a man of
knowledge. If one sees himself eating clouds in his dream, it means that he will
gain lawfully earned money from such a person, or that perhaps he may gain
wisdom. If one sees himself amassing clouds in a dream, it means that he will
learn wisdom at the hand of a close associate. If one sees himself mixing with
the clouds but does not carry anything out of them in a dream, it means that he
will mix with people of knowledge and learn nothing from what they say, or
practice nothing of what they teach. If one sees himself riding over the clouds
in a dream, it means that he may become famous for his wisdom and knowledge.
If one sees his own son turned into a cloud in a dream, it means that he earns
his livelihood from teaching wisdom or religious knowledge to others. Black clouds
in a dream mean wisdom, forbearance, honesty and joy. If the black clouds also
carry a threat or cause fear in the dream, it means that one will be reprimanded
by such a wise person. If one sees himself building a house over a cloud in a
dream, it means that he lives an honest life, earns lawful money and lives his
life with wisdom and integrity. If one builds a palace over a cloud in a dream,
it means that through his wisdom, he avoids committing sins. It also means that
he prospers from such a wisdom or builds a palace in paradise with his deeds.
If one sees a cloud in his hand and rain falling from it in a dream, it denotes the
wisdom he speaks. If one turns into a rainy cloud in a dream, it means that he
lives wealthy and benefits people from his money. If one turns into a cloud that
rains gold in a dream, it means that he will learn wisdom from a great man.
Clouds in a dream also represent the people in authority who do others favors
and ask for no reward. If one hears a human sound calling him from behind a
cloud in a dream, it means that God willing he will attend a pilgrimage. ( See
Invisible caller). A black cloud in a dream also represents a just judge, while a
white cloud represents a blessed and a noble justice. Clouds in season in a dream
represent benefits, profits and prosperity. A mass of black clouds carrying no
rain in a dream mean benefits, extreme cold, sadness or sorrow. Red clouds in
a dream mean distress, adversities or a sickness. A cloud covering a town in a
dream means blessings. If the person who sees such black clouds in his dream
is intending to take a trip, it will take place, though his safety cannot be insured.
On the other hand, if he is unhappy about something, then if he sees such a
dream, it means that his sorrow will be dispelled. White clouds in a dream are
a sign of work, a job or business. Rising fog in a dream means taking a journey,
or returning from one. Red clouds in a dream means lack of work. A gloomy cloud
in a dream means stress. If one sees clouds welcoming him in a dream, it means
glad tidings. If he is an evil person, it means a calamity and a chastisement for
his sins. If one sees clouds covering the sun in a dream, it means that the ruler
of that land is ill. If one sees himself wearing a shirt of clouds in a dream, it
means blessings that God Almighty has favored him with. Clouds in a dream
also represent virtues, miracles, favors, rains, love and blessings, because they
also appear when a prophet or a saint pray for rain or to shelter a blessed person
from the heat of the sun. Clouds in a dream also mean travel by sea or air.

Salt
(Condiment; Veteran) In a dream, salt means easy money, common people
and a good person. Seeing an argument between two adversaries and witnessing
salt placed between them in a dream means that they will allay their differences
and make peace. If common salt becomes spoiled in a dream, it means that a
plague, injustice, or a drought will befall the people of that locality. Salt in a
dream also signifies hard work, or an illness. Table salt in a dream also means
asceticism, renunciation and detachment from the material world. It also means
blessings, honesty and comfort. Eating bread with salt in a dream means
contentment with little from this world. A salt shaker in a dream represents a
good and a dutiful woman. Discovering salt in a dream means adversities and
a severe illness. Salt in a dream also represents balance, usability of things and
acceptability of everything. This includes knowledge, religion, wife, money,
child and lawful earnings. Salt in a dream also means appeasement of one’s fear,
peacefulness, developingpatience and forbearance. Salt in a dream also represents
a medicine, a remedy, drugs, love, tenderness, unity, compassion, earning
suspicious money, or a conspiracy. Receiving a fish preserved in salt in a dream
means good news. Olives treated with salt in a dream means recanting one’s
promise.

Celestial spheres
(Constellations; Firmaments; Heavens) Seeing oneself at the
first celestial sphere in a dream means associating with a tyrant or a liar or
befriending a mail carrier. The second celestial sphere represents the scribes of
a king. The third celestial sphere represents a marriage to a woman from a noble
lineage. The fourth celestial sphere represents leadership, prosperity and
reverence. The fifth celestial sphere represents marriage to a most beautiful
woman. Travelling in its orbit together with its stars in that galaxy in a dream
means travelling to meet a ruler, a warrior, a pious man, or a perfect man. The
sixth celestial sphere represents knowledge, blessings and steadfastness. The
seventh celestial sphere represents the inner circles of a ruler. The eight
celestial sphere represents the company of a great ruler. The ninth celestial
sphere represents the company of a revered man. Seeing the tenth celestial
sphere or the all-encompassing sphere in a dream means meeting the greatest
ruler. Orbiting a celestial sphere or a galaxy or seeing them in a dream means
rising in station and honor, attaining one’s goals, or increase in one’s power. If
one sees the all-encompassing sphere in a dream, it means that he will meet the
Almighty Lord, the Master of the universes, God Almighty Himself or become
the intimate friend of the greatest ruler in the world. If one sees himself in a
dream changing the order of stars, galaxies or constellations, it means being
unjust or trying to obscure the truth. If a woman sees herself under the first
celestial sphere in a dream, it means that she will marry someone from the
ruling class. (Also see Constellations, Dog; Moon; Skies; Star)

(Contract; Homage) Making a pledge of allegiance to the
blessed family of God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, or to their descendents,

and abiding by them. Making a pledge of allegiance to the governor of a seaport
city in a dream means winning victory over one’s enemy, glad tidings, honoring

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.

seeing fresh green almond in season in a dream means profits and blessings.
Sweet almond in adream represent lawful money or earnings, dependingon the
quantity one sees in his dream. Eating sweet almond in a dream means profits,

also represents one who is stingy with people, though generous with his wife and
children. Eating sweet almond in a dream also means tasting the sweetness of

Thunder
(Curse; Omen; Policeman; Warning sign) In a dream, thunder without
rain means a scare, a warning or an ultimatum. It also represents good
promises, gracious orders, or the sound of drums. Seeing thunder in a dream
means repayment of one’s debts, and for a sick person, it means recovering from
his illness. Thunder, lightening and rain in a dream represent fear for a
traveller, or the greed of a merchant. Hearing about an awesome blast in a
distant land in a dream means that the dwellers of that place will be struck with
a major calamity or sudden mass casualties. The sound of thunder in a dream
represents a murder, a fight, a dispute, an argument, lack of religious atten¬
dance, loss of money, or the release of a prisoner. A thunderstorm with rain when
needed in a dream represents a good harvest for that year. Hearing a thunderous
sky without seeing the lightening in a dream means an assassination, deception,
falsehood or slander. Hearing the sound of thunder in a dream also means being
reprimanded by a higher authority. There are no benefits in hearing the sound
of thunder in the darkness without seeing lightening in the dream, this would
be interpreted as apostasy or disloyalty. This can be particularly true when it
is accompanied with an earthquake. If one hears thunder in its season in a
dream, it means good news and blessings. Otherwise, out of its usual season,
thunder in a dream represents an army on the move, or a foreign occupation of
a country. Hearing the sound of thunder in a dream also represents hymns,
praising God Almighty, glorifying Him, or it could mean a sickness, fear,
deafness, or the sound of drums in a wedding. If the one seeing the dream is an
atheist, it means that he will be guided and have faith in God Almighty. If he
is a sinner, it means that he will repent for his sins. Hearing the roaring of
thunder in a dream on the first day of October means death. If it is heard during
the first six days of that month, it means benefits, or lower prices, but if it is
heard near the end of the month, then it means a plague or a disaster. Hearing
the sound of thunder at any other time during the month of October in a dream
means evil. If it is heard during the month of November in a dream, it means
blessings for the land, prosperity, the spreading of God’s words in a new land,
the falling of a comet in a populated area, the death of a leader, a pollution that
will devastate bird life, or a heavy rainstorm with limited damages. If the sound
of thunder is heard during the first ten days of December in a dream, it means
the death of famous people within the Western hemisphere, inflation, rising
prices, degradation of social behavior, decrease in harvest, inflation, or playing
dirty politics. Hearing the sound of thunder during the last seven days of
December in a dream means that the winter will be cold and dry, though the
forthcoming spring will be cool and wet. Hearing the sound of thunder in the first
six days of the month of January in a dream means that a major event will take
place, such as an earthquake, death, destruction, or a war in Iraq. If this dream
is witnessed during the last week of the month of January, then it represents
a solar eclipse, or the death of a Western leader, a plague, or the birth of a planet
that signifies the destruction of a great city on earth. Hearing the sound of
thunder on the first day of February in a dream means a good harvest, lowering
or stabilization of prices, discovering a new disease in the East, death in the
seas, heavy rains in Mecca, fear, devastation and famines in Ethiopia, or that
a Western leader will move his armies to the East and control the land for a short
period of time. Hearing the sound of thunder during the first six days of March
in a dream means good harvest, lowering of prices, stabilization of the market
and prosperity. Hearing the sound of thunder at the end of March in a dream
means famines, destruction, or that a swarm of locusts may devastate the lands,
or it could mean a drought that will kill African cattle. Also in this type of
dreams, if the sound of thunder is heard on the twenty first day of April, it means
that Western armies will drive East and establish military bases there. If the
first of April happens to be a Sunday, then March will be a month of great fear
and disturbances in the East, meanwhile, a conflict between the Western armies
will end by the death of a Western leader and the defeat of his army. If the dream
is seen on the eleventh day of April, it may mean that earthquakes or cyclones
will devastate many countries. If the dream takes place on the thirteenth day
of April, then it means that inflation will strike and price hiking will burden the
common people. If the dream is seen on the seventeenth day of April, it purports
a major political dispute between the leaders of the world, and if it is seen on
the twenty second day of April, it means that a disastrous evil will contaminate
many societies. If the dream takes place on the twenty third day of the month
of April, it means abundance, falling prices, fertility in the lands, while if it is
seen on the twenty fifth day of April, it will mean price hiking. If it is seen on
the twenty ninth day of April, it means that blessings, fertility, relief and joy
will spread in the land. If the sound of thunder is heard during the first nine
days of the month of May in a dream, it means the death of noble and leading
people in Turkey. During that period, rain will be in abundance, the land will
be fertile and the farms most productive. If the dream takes place between the
tenth and the twentieth day of the month of May, it means plagues. If the sound
of thunder is heard in a dream during the first ten days of June, it means the
death of renowned scholars, people of knowledge, religious leaders, or noble
people in Egypt. Meanwhile, prices will fall, and abundance will ease the
economy into a major economic turnaround. If the dream is seen during the first
six days of July, it means that good rain will fall during the following December
and that the land will be fertile. During that year, several Western leaders will
die, and a war may take place in Persia. Meanwhile, evil will spread throughout
Egypt, and it will be brought about by its own leaders. If the dream takes place
during the last seven days of July, it means that peace will spread throughout
the earth, prices will fall in Iraq and in East Africa, and a new disease will affect
fruit trees, banana trees, date trees, though wheat will be available in abun¬
dance, even if the farmers were concerned about it in the early part of the year.
If the sound of thunder is heard during the month of August in a dream, it
means blessings for the people in Syria and the people of Azerbaijan on the
Caspian Sea. At that time, sea passages will be blockaded, the highways will be
forsaken and a war may take place in China. If the sound of thunder is heard
at the end of the month of August in a dream, it means the end of a drought in
Egypt, risingprices, death, earthquakes, or major political changes. If the sound
of thunder is heard during the first eight days of September in a dream, it
announces a drought during the early part of the year that will be followed by
heavy rains and results in a good harvest. It also means that a long and
destructive war will take place. If the thunder takes place on the tenth day of
September in one’s dream, then it means a drought in Morocco. God knows best
what He has reserved for His creation and He is the best of judges.
Thunderbolt: Thunderbolts in a dream are signs of punishment, illness or death.
If a thunderbolt hits and burns something in the dream, it means false rumors,
damages, financial losses, recession, or dumping of merchandise. A thunderbolt
in a dream also means a warning for a sinner, the punishment for his crime,
devastation, calamities, diseases, tornados, plagues, a blast, a major political
shift, tyranny, decapitation, a bad death, inceneration, burining people alive,
or a robbery. If one is under surveillance, then seeing a thunderbolt in a dream
means a crackdown on his house or business. If thunderbolts strike people’s
homes in a dream, they mean the arrival of covetous and despicable criminals
in the company of decent and innocent people who are not aware of the true
identity of their companions. If thunderbolts strike the fields and damage the
crop in a dream, they represent taxes or an investigation. If one sees a town hit
and burnt with a thunderbolt in a dream, it means that an unjust governor will
rise in that town, and his government will bring fear, rising prices, economic
chaos, injustice or war. If a thunderbolt does not carry fire in the dream, then
it represents a new leader. (Also see Earthquake)

general. Descending a steep slope in a dream also means safe landing, worldly
blessings and nomination for a religious duty. Descending from a mountain in
a dream means relief from adversities or change in one’s conditions. Coming
down from an old ladder in a dream means investing in a business to earn
nothing from one’s efforts. If the ladder breaks half-way through in the dream,
it means losing to one’s adversary.

Table
(Dining table) A dining table with its food ready to serve in a dream means
blessings, accepting an invitation to dinner or lunch, financial comfort, status
and winning victory over one’s enemy. In this case, one’s enemy is hunger. The
food placed on the table represents a booty. Clearing the dinner table in a dream
means cessation of comfort and blessings. The dinning table of one’s house in
a dream represents his livelihood and sustenance, an important project that
requires the help of many people, or a great person who is gracious, true and
generous. Sitting on such a table in a dream means joining the company of such
great man. If the dining table is topped with clean food and fresh bread in the
dream, it means love between friends and brethren. To have little food and
some bread on the table in a dream means lack of such love between brethren.
Accepting the invitation to share a loaf of bread with someone in a dream means
love, unity and prescribing to the prophetic traditions. If one sees one or two
dishes on his table in a dream, it means profits for oneself and sustenance for
his dependents. Having good appetite in a dream means longevity. If the dining
table is cleared after one’s meal in the dream, it denotes the conclusion of one’s
life. If a crowd of people sits on a table to partake their meal in a dream, they
represent one’s dependent. If two opponents sit on the same table in a dream,
it means war, and particularly if their is broiled meat and herbs on the table.
The dining table in the dream then represents the battlefield, and eating their
meal means fighting. A dining table in a dream also represents piety. If one
shares his meal in a dream, it means that he will meet new friends and enjoy
their company, then a conflict will rise concerning his livelihood and earnings.

Exhibition
(Display; Hearing; Honor guards; Inspection of troops; Military re¬
view; Portrayal; Presentation; Review officer; Show) If one sees himself standing
before a high-ranking officer during a ceremony of reviewing the guards of honor
or in a military barrack in a dream, and if the officer is displeased with him in
the dream, it means that he will commit a major sin. If one thinks that the officer
is pleased with him in the dream, then it implies God’s blessings. The high-
ranking officer or the review officer in such a dream also represents a com¬
passionate person who cares, and who frequently asks about his friends, helps
them solve their problems, and assists them in every possible way. (Also see

Banknote
(Dollar; Money) A banknote in a dream represents a pure intention, a
beautiful son, a treasure, an agreement, a consent, deputyship, devotion,
straight path, swearing in, testimony or wisdom. Losing a banknote in a dream
means losing one’s son or missing one’s prayers. If one sees himself moving piles
of banknotes to his house in a dream, it means that money will be delivered to
his hand. Though banknotes are blessings and they are what people need,
nevertheless, they are also Satan’s arrows. If one sees himself handling a large
quantity of banknotes in a dream, they mean trusts he receives for saving or as
a business. If one sees himself holding a banknote in his hand in a dream, it
means that he has entrusted something to a friend who will deliver it back to
him on demand. A counterfeit banknote means illegal money or income from
unknown source. A banknote carrying the denomination five, represents the
five time daily prayers in Islam. If one loses one in the dream, it means that he
neglects his required prayers. In some interpretations, banknotes represent a
book. They also represent benefits to a poor person. Perhaps banknotes in a
dream could represent the punishment of a hypocrite, or a person who respects
no commitment toward his friends, or perhaps they could represent a beloved,
mutual support, helping others, or good news. Common denominations such as
one hundred represent working for the government. If one sees himself receiving
a coin of money, or a banknote (e.g. One dollar), it means that he is suffering from
oppression. If one sees himself giving someone a banknote of the denomination
one, then if he finds it shred’ded into pieces in the dream, it represents a severe
enmity, a grievance, or a fight. If he finds it thrown to the floor in the dream,
it signifies heavy fighting between two people. (Also see Money)

Fruit
(Dried fruits; Fresh fruits) In a dream, a sweet tasting fruit represents
blessings, knowledge or money. Even a sour tasting fruit means the same when
it suits the taste of the person eating it in his dream. When a sour tasting fruit
does not agree with the person’s taste in the dream, then it means unlawful
earnings or aggravation of his illness. Eating or drinking any by-product that
is made of fruit in a dream means debts or facing challenges in a foreign land.
Seeing one’s most preferred fruit in a dream represent profits earned from one’s
own sweat and such profits will equal the amount of efforts exerted to earn them.
A large size fruit in a dream represents earnings that are not yet free from due
alms. A fruit without seeds or hull in a dream represents success and lawful
earnings. Eating fruits out of season in a dream means prosperity and comfort.
A fruit that grows or which is plucked in cluster or as bunch in a dream means
love and unity. Imported fruits in a dream represent their country of origin.
Fruits in a dream also represent one’s wife, children, business agreements,
exchanging knowledge, good deeds, family reunion, weddings, recovering from
sickness or recovering lost money. Grapes in a dream represent wine, and water
melon represents the alcoholic beverage which is fermented from its juices. To
pick up a fruit that fell from a tree in a dream means leading a fight against a
righteous person. If one sees a tree that bears fruit in warm weather bearing
fruit in the winter in a dream, it means that he will associate with someone
expecting to make a business deal, though their friendship will end in wasting
time and money. To pluck a fruit from a tree other than its own in a dream

Wild berries in the mountains or prairies in a dream represent innate arts,
abilities and knowledge given directly from God Almighty and no other teacher
has a claim in it. Figs in a dream represent the best of fruits in a dream. Fresh
fruits in a dream signify money that does not last, while dried fruits represent
savings. Fruits for a poor person in a dream signify prosperity and for a rich

fearing person places kohl on someone’s eyes in a dream, it means blessings and
guidance. Finding a container of kohl in a dream means receiving money.
Smearing one’s eyes with kohl in a dream means becoming more religious. If a
blind person smears his eyes with kohl in a dream, it means that he will
miraculously recover his sight. If one smears his eyes with a silver-white
powdered mixture or antimony in a dream, it means that he will have two wives.
If one coats his eyelids with butter or lather in a dream, it means that he is
pursuing an unlawful heterosexual, or a loathsome homosexual relationship.
Beautifying childrens’ eyes with other than kohl or antimony in a dream means
molesting them. If one uses kohl as medicine for his eyes in a dream, it means
that he will correct his religious performance and commit his life to a godly
cause. If his intention is made to beautify himself with kohl in the dream, it
means that he is seeking material success, or worldly promotion. If someone
smears one’s eyes with kohl to the degree of blinding him in the dream, it means
that he will defraud him of some money. If a virgin girl or a widow places kohl
over her eyelids in a dream, it means her marriage. Coating or encrusting one’s

cities live from the produce of a farmland. A farmland in a dream also represents
stored grains or fruits or vegetables. Anything that affects the farmland, such
as drought, inundation, diseases or a fire in a dream will manifest in people’s

King
(God Almighty; Governor; Mayor; President; Royalty; Sultan) The true King
is God Almighty. If the king is pleased with someone in a dream, it means that
God Almighty is pleased with him, and if the king is angry with him in the
dream, it means that God Almighty is displeased with him. If one sees the king
frowning in a dream, it means that he fails to properly perform his prayers or
show true religious devotion. If one sees him smiling in a dream, it means profits
in one’s material as well as spiritual life. If one sees that God Almighty has
appointed him as a king over a land, it means that he will receive such a regency,
should he qualify. Later on, unrest will bring tyrants, or dictators to justice,
while people of knowledge and piety will survive and regain their authority. If
one sees himself as a calif or as an Imam in a dream and should he qualify, it
means that he will receive such an honor, rank, trust and fame in the land,
though his vice-regency will not become hereditary. However, it is a bad omen
if he becomes a calif in the dream and does not qualify for such an appointment.
In such a case, and by contrast, he will be humiliated and dispersed, and his own
helpers will become his superiors, while his enemies will rejoice at his misfortune.
If one sees himself as a king in a dream, though in reality he does not qualify,
it means that he may die quickly, and the same is true if a sick person sees
himself turned into a king. If he is healthy, it means that someone in his family
may die shortly. Seeing a king in a dream also denotes exposing hidden secrets.
If a philosopher or a fortuneteller sees himself transformed into a king in a
dream, then it denotes glad tidings should he not complain about it in his dream.
If a slave sees himself becoming a king in a dream, it means that he will be set
free. If one sees himself becoming one of the great kings of this world in a dream,
it means that he will attain worldly success in his life, though it will be
accompanied with religious failure. If the person is a natural con artist, it means
that he will be captured and imprisoned. If a man sees himself awarded a
knighthood that is suitable only for woman, then it means his death. If one sees
the kingreprimandinghim in a dream, it means peace between them. If one sees
himself arguing a case with knowledge and wisdom before a king in a dream,
it means that he will win his case and receive what he came for. If one sees
himself complaisant with the king about his case in the dream, it means that
he will lose his case and the judgment will go the king’s way. If one sees himself
walking with a king and rubbing shoulders with him in the dream, it means that
he will oppose the king or disobey him. If he sees himself following the king in
a dream, it means that he will pursue the king’s traditions during his lifetime
or after his death. If one enters the king’s palace prostrating in a dream, it means
that he will be appointed in a leadership position and receive the king’s pardon.
If one sees himself mixing with the king’s harem, or sleeping with them and
should there be signs of comfort, trueness, or wisdom in his act in the dream,
it means that he will enter the king’s inner circles. Otherwise, should he in the
dream fear the consequences of what is happening, or if he lacks trueness, or
if he slanders them, or indulges in what is unlawful for him to do, then should
he reach the king’s door, it means that he will triumph against his enemies
inside that palace, and they can cause no harm to him. If in his dream, the king
gives him a gift, it means that he will win victory and honor in his life to equal
the value of that gift. If the king gives him a brocaded silk garment in the dream,
it means that he will give him a wife from the royal family. If the king speaks
to someone in a dream, it means honor, fame, wealth after poverty, release from
jail, expansion of one’s business, or victory over one’s enemy. If an appointed
governor sees himself looking into a mirror in a dream, it means that he will be
dismissed from his post. If an appointed king sees someone who looks like him
sitting in his throne in a dream, it means that he will beget a son. If he divorces
his wife in a dream, it means that he will abdicate his throne. To see oneself
sleeping with the king in the same bed and without a curtain between them, and
if the king leaves the bed while one remains resting therein in the dream, it
means that his mixing with the king will incur jealousy, or that he will inherit
him. If one leaves the bed before the king, it means that he will escape from a
great danger. If one sees himself sleeping alone in the king’s bed in a dream, it
means that he will marry a woman from the governing family, or that he may
spend from his own money for the sake of a woman in that palace. If the bed is
in the palace though unknown in the dream, it means that he will become a
member of that government. If a king hears his subjects praising him in a dream,
it means that he will show good qualities. If his subjects shower him with money
in a dream, it means that they speak ill of him or cast blame at him. If they
shower him with sugar in the dream, it means they speak nicely of him, and if
they shower him with stones in the dream, it means that they will speak harshly
of him. If one sees the people paying obeisance and bowing to him in a dream,
it means that they will stand humbly before him. If they prostrate themselves
before him in a dream, it means that they truly praise him. If a king sees himself
following the opinion of a woman in a dream, it means that he will lose his
kingdom or fall victim to depression, or that he will be thrown into jail. If he
opposes her in the dream, it means that he will escape from a great danger. If
a king sees himself walking in a dream when a common subject comes near him
and whispers something in his ear, the commoner here represents the angel of
death ‘Izrail, and it means that the king may die a sudden death. Eating from
the hand of one’s servant in a dream represents the growing of one’s authority,
increase of his business, knowledge, or wisdom. If a king sees himself preparing
a banquet for guests in a dream, it means that his opponents will come to argue
their case, though he will win over them. If he sees himself placing food on the
table in a dream, it means that a messenger will come to see him concerning a
dispute. If the food is sweet, then the problem will end nicely. If the food is
greasy, then the problem will be a lasting one. Sour food then means steadfastness.
Eating on the table of a just and a righteous king in a dream means blessings
and honor. If the king is seen walking alone in the markets in a dream, it means
that he is a humble, just, and a strong ruler. A sick king in a dream represents
weakness in his faith and injustice toward his subjects. If the king is carried over
people’s shoulders in a dream, it means lack of faith and lack of attendance to
one’s religious obligations, or weakness in his ruling. If the king dies and does
not get buried in a dream, it means that the king and his subjects are deviates.
If he is buried and the people walk away from his grave in the dream, it means
that one will pursue something of no benefit, unless God Almighty decrees
otherwise. If one sees the king’s head transformed into a ram’s head in a dream,
it means that the king is a just and a kind ruler. If his head is transformed into
a dog’s head in the dream, then it represents his vile nature. If his chest turns
into a stone in the dream, it means that his heart will become like a rock. If one
sees his own hand turn into the king’s hand in a dream, it means that he will
receive a leadingjob. If one sees the king flying with wings in a dream, it means
that his authority will spread. If his fingers increase in shape or number in the
dream, it means that his greed and injustice will manifest. Any dream about a
deceased king will manifest in his successors or in his progeny.

noble goals, righteous progeny, commanding good and forbidding evil, discard¬
ing bad company, compliance with the divine ruling, knowledge, guidance,
success after failure and separation from one’s family and kin to seek God’s
nearness and pleasure. In a dream, Abraham represents the element of com¬
passion toward one’s son and family and sometime he represents the element
of adversities and finally of reachingsafety. (Also see Feast of Immolation; Station

distress, and be saved from their evil. Seeing God’s prophet Hud (uwbp) in a

others from plagues and destruction.

Muhammad
(God’s Prophet Muhammad, blessings and peace be upon him; The
Seal of the prophets; The last Messenger) It is related that God’s Messenger,
upon whom be peace, has said: “One who sees me in a dream will see me in his
wakefulness, for Satan cannot impersonate me. ”He also has said: “One who sees
me in a dream, it is as if he has truly seen me, for Satan cannot impersonate me. ”
He also has said: “One who sees me in a dream will not enter the fire of hell. ”
Muslim theologians and scholars differ in opinion about the meaning of seeing
God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream. Imam Ibn Seerin used to ask someone who
tells of such a dream to describe the Prophet, upon whom be peace. If any of the
details did not fit his description, Ibn Seerin’s reply was: “You have not seen
him.” Asim Bin Kulayb once said: “I related to Ibn Abbas, God bless his soul and
that of his father, that I saw God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream. Ibn Abbas replied:
“Describe him to me.” Asim Bin Kulayb added: “I described him as resembling
Al-Hassan son of‘Ali, upon both of them be peace.” Ibn Abbas replied: “Indeed
you have seen him.” Ibn ‘Arabi once explained that the essence of seeing God’s
Prophet (uwbp) is cognizance of his presence and understanding the reality of
his character and example. Thus, recognizing the presence of the blessed being
is as affirmation of the truth, while seeing the physical form represents his
example and attributes, for being earthly does not change the essence of
prophethood. When God’s Prophet (uwbp) said: “He will see me in wakefulness,”
it means: ‘Expounding upon what he saw,’ for what one sees in such a dream is
the truth which resides in the realms of the unseen. In the second saying, when
God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, said: “It is as if he has truly seen me,” it
means that if one had seen him during the time of delivering God’s massage, the
example will be the same. Thus, the first saying signifies what is real and true
while the second saying implies the physical reality and its example. If one sees
God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, coming toward him in a dream, it means
blessings and benefits, and if one sees God’s prophet (uwbp) turning away from
him in a dream, it means the opposite. Al-Qadi ‘Iyad, God bless his soul, in¬
terpreted the words of God’s Prophet (uwbp) in his saying: “Has truly seen me,"
to mean: “has truly seen my physical form,” that the blessed companions knew,
while seeing him in another form in a dream means that one’s dream connotes
personal interpretations. Following the explanation of Al-Qadi ‘Iyad, Imam Al-
Nawawi commented by saying: “This is a weak explanation. A stronger inter¬
pretation is to say that one who sees God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream has seen
him in reality however his resemblance may appear. Whether the resemblance
in the dream is known or not.” In a separate commentary, Shaikh Al-Baqlani
added: “What Al-Qadi ‘Iyad has said does not contradict what Imam Al-Nawawi
has said.” This is because the first dream does not require interpretation,
according to Al-QadI ‘Iyad. In the second type of dream, that is discussed in
Imam Al-Nawawi’s comments, one’s dream does require interpretation or
analysis. This is to mean that since no Satan can impersonate God’s Prophet
(uwbp), then whatever appearance he displays in one’s dream is true. The
meaning of God’s prophet’s saying: “For Satan cannot impersonate me, ” implies
that since God’s guardianship (Isma ) is inviolable, and since God’s Prophet,
upon whom be peace, is sacrosanct, then as he was protected during the time
of delivering God’s message to humanity, he is still protected by the same
guardianship after God Almighty took him back to Himself. Thus, whoever sees
God’s Prophet (uwbp) in any appearance in a dream, it is as if has seen him in
reality, regardless whether one sees him as a young man, or at the time of
delivering his message, or as an old person. If one sees him looking old in a
dream, it means peace. If one sees him looking young in a dream, it means war.
If one sees him smiling in a dream, it means that one is truly emulating his
traditions. Seeing God’s Prophet (uwbp) in his known and recognized appear¬
ance in a dream means that the one seeing the dream is a pious person, that his
integrity is inviolable, and that his success is unquestionable. Seeing him
(uwbp) in a dream frowning represents the ill state of the one seeing the dream.
Ibn Abi Jumrah once said: “Seeing Him (uwbp) in a beautiful appearance
denotes the good religious standing of the person seeing the dream. Seeing him
with some disfeatures in a dream, a deficiency or distortion in one’s application
of his religious duties, for God’s Prophet (uwbp) is like a mirror that portrays
the one standing before it.” In this sense, the person seeing the dream can
recognize his own state. This interpretation is also given by Ibn Hajar Al-Hutaymi,
God bless his soul. Like that, in the book of ‘Sharh al-Shama-il’ of Imam Al-
Tirmithi, it is also stated that Satan cannot impersonate God Almighty, His
signs, prophets or angels. If someone suffering from distress sees God’s Prophet
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that his difficulties will be removed. If a prisoner
sees him in a dream, it means that he will be released form prison. If one is living
at a time of economic chaos, and if high prices are exploiting the people of the
land, or if injustice is tyrannizing everyone, then seeing God’s Prophet, upon
whom be peace, in a dream represents an end to such adversities. Seeing him
in his beautiful, radiant and impeccable appearance as best described by his
companions in a dream means glad tidings of attaining a successful conclusion
to one’s life in this world and in the hereafter. The state and clarity of one’s heart
and how well polished is his own mirror determines in what appearance he may
see him, upon whom be peace. If God’s Prophet (uwbp) comes toward someone
in a dream, or leads him in prayers, or if one sees himself accompanying him
on the road, or if one eats something sweet from his blessed hand, or receives
a cloak, or a suitable shirt, or if God’s Prophet promises him something, or prays
for him, then if the one seeing the dream qualifies for leadership, and if he is
a righteous and a just man who commands what is good and forbids what is evil,
and if he is learned and practices what he knows, and if he is a pious worshipper
and a devout Muslim, he will then attain the station and company of the blessed
ones. If the one who sees the dream is a disobedient servant of God Almighty,
it means that he will repent for his sins and return to his Lord. If he is living
in heedlessness, it means that he will be guided. Perhaps, he might attain his
goals in acquiring knowledge, or learn how to reconstruct his innermost being
to befit a human being who is grateful to his Lord. If one is fearing oppression,
persecution, or loss of his property and wealth sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it
means putting an end to such fears, for he is the best of intercessors to restore
anyone before God Almighty. If one who follows innovations sees God’s Prophet
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that he should fear God Almighty, heed to His
warnings and correct himself and particularly if he sees Him (uwbp) walking
away from him, or turning his back to him. Seeing God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a
dream also means receiving glad tidings and happy news, or it could signify
justice, establishing the truth, fulfillment of a promise, reaching a high rank
among the members of one’s family, or perhaps it could mean that one may suffer
from their envy and jealousy, or leave his homeland and migrate to another
country, or it could mean that he may lose his parents and become an orphan.
Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also could mean seeing miraculous events
( Karamat ), for his companions witnessed and testified to a deer greeting him,
a camel who kissed his foot, the broiled leg of mutton talking to him, trees
moving to give him cover, pebbles glorifying God’s praises in his hand, among
countless miracles, including his Nocturnal Journey and ascension ( Miraj ) to
the heavens to meet his Lord. If an ophthalmologist sees him in a dream, it
means that he will acquire great expertise in his field and become renowned in
the land, for God’s prophet upon whom be peace, did return the eye of his
companion Qutadah to its place and made his sight sharper than it was by God’s
leave, after Qutadah had lost his eye during one of the battles with the
unbelievers. If a traveller in the desert sees God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream,
or if there is drought somewhere, it means that rain will fall and springs will
gush forth, as water gushed from between his blessed fingers when he placed
his blessed hand over a half filled cup to quench the thirst of an entire army.
If calamities, starvation and drought has befallen a land and someone sees Him
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that such calamities will be lifted and life will return
to normal in that place. If a woman sees him in a dream, it means that she will
reach a high spiritual station, honor, righteousness, chastity, trustworthiness
and perhaps be given a blessed progeny, or if she is wealthy, it means that she
will spend her wealth on God’s path. Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also means
facing adversities, bearing patience and suffering from one’s enemy. If an
orphan sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it means that he will reach an exalted
station and the same goes if a foreigner sees him in his dream. If a physician
sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it means that people will benefit from his medicine.
Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also means victory over one’s enemy, or consolidating
and paying one’s debts, or recovering from an illness, or attending a pilgrimage
to God’s House in Mecca, or triumphing over one’s trials, or cessation of one’s
adversities, or fertility of a barren land, or the pregnancy of a barren woman.
If a visitor to his mosque sees himself in a dream coming before God’s Prophet
(uwbp) and finds him standing up, it denotes one’s correct religious standing,
and it means that he will have commanding authority over the Imam of his time.
If one finds him (uwbp) deceased in the dream, it means that a noble person from
the family of the person seeing the dream will shortly die. If one sees the funeral
of God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream, it means that a calamity will befall that
country. Following his funeral procession up to his grave (uwbp) in a dream
means that the person seeing the dream will yield to innovations. Visiting his
grave (uwbp) in a dream means receiving a great treasure. If one sees himself
as the son of God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream, and even if one is not one of his
descendents, it denotes one’s sincerity, true faith and certitude. Seeing God’s
Prophet (uwbp) by one person does not exclude the remainder of the believers,
but the blessings encompass all of them. Receiving something from him (uwbp)
such as food or a drink in a dream means benefits and profits. If one receives
food which substance connotes negative circumstances, such as a melon or the
like elements in a dream, it means that one will escape from a great danger,
though he will toil and suffer from hardships during his trials. If one sees that
one of the limbs that belong to God’s Prophet (uwbp) has become his own in a
dream, it means that he is following innovation and making changes in the laws
God’s Prophet (uwbp) brought to humankind. If one sees himself in a dream
embodying the form of God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, or wearing one of
his garments, or receives his ring, or sword, then if the person is seeking to
govern, he will attain that and the people will accept his leadership. If one is
suffering from persecution, or humiliation in the land, then seeing God’s
Prophet (uwbp) standing in a dream means that God Almighty will grant him
victory and make him rise above his enemies. If one is poor, his needs will be
satisfied, or if he is unmarried, he will get married. If one sees him (uwbp) in
a ruined place in a dream, it means that such a place will be rebuilt. If one enters
a room and finds him (uwbp) sitting there in a dream, it means that a miraculous
sign, or a major event will take place in such a locality. If one sees him (uwbp)
making the call to prayers in a dream, it means that prosperity will spread in
that place. If one sees him establishing the prayers ( Iqamah ) in a dream, it
means that the Muslims will reunite and dispel their differences. If one sees him
(uwbp) placing kohl over his eyelids in a dream, it means that he will find safety
and correct his religious stand, or it could mean that one will study and become
a scholar in the field of the prophetic sayings ( Ak&dith ). If a pregnant woman
sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it means that she will beget a son. If one sees him
(uwbp) having a black beard with no gray hair in it in a dream, it will bring
happiness, joy and prosperity to one’s life. If God’s Prophet (uwbp) is seen as an
old man in a dream, it means strength in one’s life and victory over one’s enemy.
Seeing him (uwbp) in his most exalted state in a dream means that the Imam,
or the ruler of the country will rise in station and that his authority will expand.
If one sees his blessed neck wide, it means that the Imam is holding firmly to
his trust. If one sees him (uwbp) having a large chest in a dream, it means that
the Imam or the ruler of the country is generous toward his subjects. If one sees
his blessed stomach (uwbp) empty in a dream, it means that the treasury of the
country is empty. If one sees his right hand closed in a dream, it means that the
Imam or the ruler of the country does not pay his employees, or distribute the
collected alms tax. If one sees his blessed right hand (uwbp) open in a dream,
it denotes the generosity of the ruler and his compliance with the distribution
of charities and alms tax as prescribed in God’s book. If his hands are locked
together in a dream, it means complications in the life of the Imam, or the ruler
of the country. The same will affect the life of the person seeing the dream,
including suffering from distress and adversities. If one sees his blessed leg
beautiful and hairy in a dream, it means that one’s clan will become stronger,
and his tribe will grow. If one sees the blessed thighs of God’s Prophet tall in
a dream, it denotes longevity of the Imam or the ruler of the country. If one sees
him (uwbp) standing in the midst of soldiers and everyone is laughing and joking
in a dream, it means that the Muslim army will be defeated and humiliated in
a war. If he is seen with a small army that is ill equipped and everyone is looking
down in the dream, it means that the Muslim army will triumph in that year.
If one sees him (uwbp) combing his blessed hair and beard in a dream, It means
that one’s distress and adversities will be dispelled. Seeing him (uwbp) in his
own mosque, or in any mosque, or in his usual place in a dream it means gaining
power and honor. If one sees him standing in the midst of his companions
delivering a revelation in a dream, it means that one will acquire a greater
knowledge, wisdom and spiritual understanding. Seeing the grave of God’s
Prophet (uwbp) in a dream means prosperity and profits for a merchant, or the
release of a prisoner from his jail. Seeingoneself in a dream as the father of God’s
Prophet (uwbp) means that one’s faith will diminish and his certitude will
weaken. If a woman sees herself in a dream as one of the wives of God’s Prophet
(uwbp), it represents her growing faith. If one sees him (uwbp) looking into one’s
affairs in a dream, it means that God’s Prophet (uwbp) is admonishing the one
seeing the dream and commanding him to render his wife her due rights. To
walk behind him (uwbp) in a dream means following his ( Sunnah ) traditions in
wakefulness. To eat with him (uwbp) in a dream means that one is commanded
to pay the annual alms tax ( Islamic law) due over one’s money making assets,
or liquid assets, gold, silver, jewelry, savings, etcetera, excepting one’s home or
vehicle. If one sees God’s Prophet (uwbp) eating alone in a dream, it means that
the one seeing the dream refuses to give charities and disdains to help those who
ask for his help. In this sense, it is as if God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, is
commanding the person to give charities and to help the needy. If one sees him
(uwbp) bare footed in a dream, it means that one has neglected to do his regular
prayers. To see him (uwbp) and to shake hands with him in a dream means that
one is truly his follower. If one sees his blood mixed with that of God’s Prophet
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that one will marry a woman from among his
descendents, or that one will marry the daughter of a great religious scholar.
If God’s Prophet (uwbp) gives someone some type of greens or herbs in a dream,
it means that one will escape from a great danger. If he (uwbp) gives him
something fresh or honey in the dream, it means that one will learn the Holy
Quran and acquire a great knowledge and wisdom according to the amount he
receives in his dream. If one returns the gift to God’s Prophet (uwbp) it means
that he will follow innovation. To see him (uwbp) delivering a sermon in a dream
means that he is commanding people to do good and to eschew evil. If one sees
the color of his skin (uwbp) tan in a dream, it means that one will think about
repenting from his sins and abstain from young people’s ignorance. If the color
of his skin is white in the dream, it means that one will repent for his sins and
turn to God Almighty for acceptance. If he (uwbp) reprimands someone in a
dream, it means that one must refrain from innovation and follow the prophetic
traditions. If one finds that God’s Prophet (uwbp) has died in a specific location
in a dream, it means that the person seeing the dream will die in that same place
and God knows best. (Also see Visiting holy sites)

gated the wind to serve the prophet Solomon. Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream
denotes leadership, the seat of a judge, acquiring wisdom, or giving religious
interpretations if the person who sees him in a dream qualifies. This vision
becomes stronger if the Prophet Solomon crowns the person, or places a ring on
his right hand, or sits him beside himself on his throne. Seeing him (uwbp) in
a dream also means overcoming adversities and hardships, and receiving a
divine endowment of an exalted station in this world, and greater blessings in
the hereafter. Seeing him (uwhp) in a dream also means trials with women and
ingratitude on their part. If the person who sees God’s prophet Solomon in a
dream is a governor, it means that he will be dismissed from his functions,
though his authority will be restored later on, or he could through cheating,
marry a rich woman. If the one who sees God’s prophet Solomon in a dream
practices sorcery, witchcraft, black magic, or invoking jinn or evil spirits, it
means that he will profit from his trade and become wealthy after having lost
hope in attaining such benefits, or he could triumph over his enemy. Whoever
sees God’s prophet Solomon (uwbp) in his dream will receive God’s favors,
including clear visions, clarity of religious interpretations, the ability to learn
many languages, or he could become a translator, or perhaps could master the
Arabic language. Seeing Solomon in a dream also means that one will recover
from an illness. If one gets hold of Solomon’s staff in a dream, it means that he
will engage in slander or calumny, and if he is sick, it means his death. Seeing
or finding Solomon’s ring in a dream means renewing one’s term of leadership,
or a manifestation of a great and a confounding wonder that will bewilder
people. If a woman sees God’s prophet Solomon (uwbp) in a dream, it means that
she will deceive her husband. Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also means that one
may acquire knowledge about herbal medicine. If one sees him laying dead on
his bed in a dream, it means that the calif, an army commander, a leader, or a
man of knowledge will die in that locality and whose death will remain
undetected, or undisclosed for sometime. Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also
means increase in one’s travels, supremacy over one’s enemy and subjugation
of one’s friends and foes to his orders should he qualify. Seeing him (uwbp) in
a dream also denotes riches, sovereignty, distant but fast travels and receiving
blessings, peace and protection. (Also see Solomon’s ring)

Engraver
(Goldsmith; Leather craftsman; or any craft using a hammer and a
chisel.) An engraver in a dream represents knowledge and pursuit of the
prophetic traditions. In a dream, an engraver also means deception, trickery
and imposing credulity upon others through dishonesty. A stone carver in a
dream represents someone who deals with people of ignorance. A copper
engraver represents disputes and illness. Gold and silver engraver in a dream
represents clear wisdom and putting things where they belong. An engraver in
a dream also represents a worldly person. If he also deals with fabrics in the
dream, it means that he is a peacemaker. Seeing him also means spending one’s
money to serve evil people or investing money in their projects, lies, falsehood
and hypocrisy. The customers in the dream represent people who prefer worldly
and temporary benefits over the eternal reward and benefits of the hereafter.
If the engraver sells the merchandise but does not accept money for them in the
dream, it means that he prefers his spiritual life over his temporary material
pleasure and that he is grateful to God Almighty. If he asks for a price for his
services, then it means the opposite. If the engraver barters what he sells for
wheat or flour in the dream, it means that he will become detached from worldly
interests, and that he is grateful for his Lord’s blessings. An engraver in a dream
also represents a person who teaches arts and science.

Palm
(Hand) In a dream, the palm of one’s hand represents one’s fitness in
wakefulness. Clapping one’s hands in a dream could either mean joy and
happiness, or it could mean nothing in wakefulness. Carrying a glove in one’s
hand in a dream means ceasing the course of wrongdoing. Slapping one’s own
face with both hands means sorrow, sadness, or calamities. Hitting the top of
one’s hand into the palm of the other hand means separation. In a dream, the
palm of one’s hand also represents one’s strength. To stretch open one’s palm
in a dream signifies wealth and prosperity. Holding a tight fist in a dream
implies poverty, or tight living conditions. If one sees hair growing in the palm
of his hand in a dream, it means depression, distress and debts. Growing hair
on top of one’s hand in a dream indicates one’s strength or virility. Seeing one’s
hand hanging down from the skies in a dream denotes one’s connections with
the ruler or people in authority. A stretched hand from the skies in a dream also
could mean profits and blessings for a hunter, a builder and a real estate
professional. In a dream, the palm of one’s hand also represents his world. It also
may mean ceasing a certain course of action. If one finds himself afraid, then
sees the palm of a hand holding out before him in a dream, it means that his fears
will be dispelled. A large and a stretched palm in a dream means prosperity and

Supplication
(Imploring; Invocations) In a dream, supplications represent worship,
a special prayer, or asking for a specific need. Invocations in a dream mean that
one’s needs are satisfied. If one’s supplications are done under dire need, or if
they involve strong emotions, sobbing or grief in the dream, then they represent
trying moments in one’s life, or they could mean temptations. Loud or solemn
supplications in a dream may indicate a special prayer for rain. If the suppli¬
cations do not call for God’s favors, or if they are not directed toward Him in the
dream, then they represent falsehood. If the supplications are silent in the
dream, they could mean that one will beget a blessed son. If one sees a group
of people gathering in a circle of prayers, or doing Zikr and invoking the divine
attributes in a dream, then they represent a gathering of children, growth,
blessings, or waiving away sufferings. If one sees himself praying to God
Almighty, or that prayers are invoked on his behalf in a dream, it means
happiness and money. Supplications in God’s house or in a mosque in a dream
are more beneficial than prayers which are offered anywhere else. If one prays
in the dark in a dream, it means that he will be saved from trials. If one sees
himself imploring another person in a dream, it means that he fears him. (Also
see Prayers; Zikr)

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,
or length of one’s tongue in a dream means strength and overcoming one’s
enemy. If one’s tongue becomes elongated with no cause for dispute or argument
in a dream, it means having a bad tongue, or backbiting others, speaking ill
about others, or using base and despicable language. Having a long tongue in
a dream also could mean clarity in one’s speech and eloquence in one’s expressions.
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
over one’s enemy. If one finds his tongue tied in a dream, it means stagnation
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
a dream, then it means a slow coming adversity. Hair growing over one’s tongue
in a dream also means writing or reciting a poem. One’s tongue in a dream also
represents the perfect alibi, the beauty and eloquence of one’s presentation, a
professional presentation, good fame and good conduct. If a governor’s tongue
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

Flood
(Inundation; Torrent) Flood in a dream represents enemy attack, harm,
destruction, sickness, a toiling journey or the inundation of a town. If the water
flows toward a river in a dream, it means that he will escape from a dangerous
enemy. Fighting a flood or trying to prevent it from entering one’s house in a
dream means fighting with one’s enemy to protect one’s family and property.
However, if people still benefit from its waters for their wells or farms in the
dream, then it represents a prosperous year and a good harvest, or it could
represent good irrigations and strong dams. In a dream, a flood also represents
lies, hypocrisy, wasting one’s speech, or it could mean falsehood. If one sees his
town flooded with blood in a dream, then it represents God’s wrath and
punishment for people’s sins. Inundations in a dream also could represent a
rainfall, one’s tongue or a sharp spoken woman. If one’s house is flooded in a
dream, it represent past deeds that will bring later benefits. Flood in a dream
also represents liquid nourishment such as honey, milk, or oil. If one sees
himself collecting the waters of a flood in jars and people seem happy about it
in the dream, it means the availability of food products in abundance and falling
or stabilization of prices. A flood in a dream also means blocking the roads to
extremism or isolating a danger. When one sees a flood in his dream but outside
of its season, it means that he is following some psychic influences or pursuing
religious innovations. It also means wrath, destruction, impeachment, penal¬
ties or a plague, unless if it is falling from the skies, then it means rains and
blessings. If one sees himself coming out of his home to swim into an inundated
town in the dream, it means that he will escape from a ruthless tyrant. Should
one fail to cross, and if he is rather forced to return to his house in the dream,
it means that he should be careful about staying in that town or about disobeying
his boss. Stopping the flood from reaching or entering one’s home in a dream also
means reconciliation with one’s enemy.

important political appointment, or that he should be careful about his asso¬
ciation with someone in authority, or it may mean marriage. If the sun rises

dream, it represents his death. If one sees the sun rising from an unusual
direction in a dream, it represents a beneficial knowledge he will acquire. If the
sun shines over one’s head and not the rest of his body in a dream, it means that
he will receive a prominent responsibility. If its rays rise to shine over his feet
and not the rest of his body in the dream, it means a farming project that brings
him prosperity and lawful earnings. If the sun discretely shines over one’s belly
and without people’s noticing it in the dream, it means that he will be struck
with leprosy. If it shines over his chest and not the balance of his body in the
dream, it means a sickness. If a woman sees that the sun has embraced her from
her neck down in a dream, it means that she will marry a person in authority

or bad has passed. If one sees the sun rising at times different than its usual
sun rising time in a dream, it means that an uprising against the government
will take place in different parts of the country. If one sees himself with the sun
in a dream and should he be working in the government, or the army, it means
that he will betray his superior, or the ruler of that land. Otherwise, it means
that his condition will deteriorate and life will turn against him. If the sun has
no rays in the dream, it means that the governor or the general of the army will lose respect.
If he is an administrator, it means that he will be dismissed from his function.
If he is a subject or an employee it means that he will lose his source
of income. If a woman sees a sun that has no rays in a dream, it means that her
husband will deprive her of her needs. If one sees the sun split in two in a dream,
it means losing one’s dominion. If one sees the sun falling down in a dream, it
means that a major calamity will befall the inhabitants of the earth. If it falls

that direction, but in general, it may mean revealing a secret, or it could mean
a scandal or death. The same interpretation is given if one sees the sun rising
from the South to set in the North. If the sun changes its nature in a dream, it
means trouble in that land. If one sits under the sun in a dream, it means that
he will receive honor and blessed profits. Grabbing some rays of the sun in a
dream means receiving undiminishing wealth. The sunrise in a dream also
means waking people up to go to work, seeking one’s livelihood, begetting a son,
or releasing a prisoner. If one is hiding something, then seeing the sun in his
dream means that his secret will be exposed. If one sees the rays of the sun
falling over his bed or threatening him in a dream, it means a painful sickness,
or inflammation of the skin. If the sun rays which are falling over his bed provide
him with good energy in the dream, it means a good harvest, or good health. If
travellers see many suns in the sky in a dream, it means profits and prosperity.
Running away from the sun in a dream means that one may leave his wife, or
he may run away from the governor of that land, or escape from an evil. If the
sun and the moon meet in one’s dream, it means a royal marriage, or a marriage
between a beautiful woman and a wealthy man. Clouds covering the rays of the
sun in a dream means an illness. If one carries the sun in a bag in a dream, it
means money. The sun in a dream also could represent a wise man, or a teacher
one whose company is sought. Otherwise, the sun in a dream could represent,
the governor, one’s husband, wife, child, mother, daughter, aunt, father, or
grandfather and the above interpretations will relate to such a person. Whatever
happens to the sun in the dream, will then affect such people. If one sees the sun
rising, then immediately setting in the same direction in a dream, it means a
newborn who may die shortly after his birth, returning an ex-prisoner to jail
shortly after his release, earning amazing amounts of money, or repenting from
sin, reverting to wrongdoing, the return of a bride to her parent’s house
immediately after her wedding night, or it could mean reconciliation between

City
(Knowledge; Town; Village) Entering a city in a dream means appeasement
of one’s fears. Imam Ibn Seerin use to prefer entering the city in a dream rather
than leaving it. A city in a dream also represents a learned person, a wise man
and a scholar. If one enters a city and finds it in ruins in his dream, it means
that the learned people of that city no longer live there. It is said that seeing a
city in a dream means the death of its ruler or an unjust governor from that
place. Seeing a city being built in a dream signifies the growing number of its
learned people and represents children who will continue the path of their
fathers. Seeing a city with no governor in a dream means rising prices. An
unknown city in a dream represents the hereafter, while a known city represents
the world. Seeing oneself in an unknown city in a dream is also a sign of
righteousness. The best of cities in a dream are the large ones. One’s home town
in a dream represents his father, while one’s homeland in a dream represents
his mother. Seeing oneself in a northern city in a dream mean increase of one’s

in a dream perhaps means that he is in paradise enjoying its blessings. Seeing
a deceased person in a village in a dream means that he might be in hell laboring
with its people. A city in a dream also represents the entertainment it provides
for its dwellers. The name of a city one sees in a dream should reflect some of
the meanings of one’s dream. (See Introduction). The industry of a city also has
a share in the dream interpretation. Known cities in the world in a dream
represent their rulers. Entering a city one already knows in a dream means that
one will not die until he enters it again, or it could mean that he will receive news
from that city. The walls of a city represent a strong ruler. A demolished wall
of a city in a dream signifies the death of its ruler or his removal from office. If
one sees a flourishing city with its urban construction, factories and farms, his
dream will reflect the spiritual awareness and religious devotion of its people.

one sees grass growing in the palm of his hand in a dream, it means that he will
discover his wife having a secret affair, and he will find her in the company of
someone else. If one sees grass growing over his hand in a dream, it means that
he will die shortly and grass will grow over his grave. If he sees grass growing
in a place where it is not supposed to grow, such as inside one’s house or inside
a mosque in a dream, it means a wedding. If one sees grass growing all over him
but does not cover his ears or eyes in a dream, it means prosperity. If he sees
grass growing on people’s hands or floating on water in a dream, it means a good

does not cover his head in the dream, it means prosperity and wealth. If the grass
covers one’s eyes and ears in the dream, it means that he will become heedless

if one sees feathers growing over his body. If poisonous weeds grow over one’s
body in a dream, they represent an illness or death. As grass is cattle’s food and
cattle represents people’s wealth, then gathering and eating grass in a dream
means prosperity. If an ascetic sees himself eating grass in a dream, it means
that he will revert to desiring the world and its pleasures, and consequently, he
will be deceived by it. Wild grass in a dream represent bad earnings and a
miserable life. Cutting and selling grass in a dream means dispelling stress and

Arabic months
(Lunar months: 1- Muharram; 2- 3- Rabi-'uIAwal; 4- Rabi'u
Thani'; 5-Jamadul Awwal; 6- Jamadu Thani'; 7- Rajab; 8- Sha'ban; 9- Ramadan;
10- Shawwal; 11- Zul-Qi'dah; 12- Zul-Hiliah) Seeing a dream during the month of Muharram means that the dream is most true as it is seen. Thus, having a
dream during the month of Muharram could be even called a vision and it never
fails. Such a dream means success, relief from difficulties, release from a prison,
or recovering from an illness. If the person had retreated from his town, he will
return to it. This interpretation is based on the story of God's prophet Jonah,
upon whom be peace, after he emerged from the belly of the whale. Perhaps the
person in the dream may face a great spiritual challenge in his life, or it could
mean the death of a great man of knowledge or the emergence of such a gnostic
or wise man in that city. If the person seeing the dream is a sinner, it means that
he will repent of his sins, for God Almighty has accepted the repentance ofAdam,
upon whom be peace, during that month. If the person in the dream is one who
hopes for a station of honor, he will attain it, because God Almighty has raised
the prophet Enoch (Idrls) upon whom be peace, to a high station during that
month. If a traveller sees a dream during that month, it means that he will safely
return home from a long journey, because it is the month in which the prophet
Noah upon whom be peace, was saved with his people, and it is the month in
which the arc settle on top of Mount Judiyyi. If the seer desires a son, then he
will beget a righteous son, because it is the month in which God's prophets
Abraham and Jesus, upon both of them be peace, were born. If the person seeing
the dream is suffering from tight financial circumstances and if he desired a way
out, it means that he will see the light or escape from the danger of his enemy,
because this is the month in which God's prophet Abraham was saved from the
fire ofNimrod, or perhaps, ifhe had followed a path of innovation and falsehood,
he will turn back to God Almighty and repent of his sin, because it is also the
month in which God Almighty forgave the prophet David, upon whom be peace.
If the person in the dream is impeached from his leadership position or stripped
from his status, he will return to his office and regain honor, because it is also
the month in which God Almighty returned the prophet Solomon to his kingdom.
If one is bedridden, it means that he will recover from his illness, because it is
the month in which the prophet Job (uwbp) recovered from his illness, or
perhaps it could mean that one will be sent as an emissary with a mission, or
as an ambassador, because it is during this month that God Almighty spoke to
His prophet Moses upon whom be peace. As for the second lunar month, known
in Arabic as Safar, having a dream during it could be interpreted as follows: If
one is pessimistic about what he saw, then it could mean the opposite. If he is
sick, it means recovering from his illness. If one is needy, it means that his needs
will be satisfied. If one is suffering from stress and worries, it means that they
can cause him no harm. If one sees his dream during the third lunar month,
known in Arabic as Rabt-rul Awwal, and if he is a merchant, it means that his
business will grow, prosper and that his money will be blessed or perhaps he may
conceive a child during that month. If he is under stress and worries, they will
be dispelled. Ifhe is persecuted or treated unjustly, he will end in a triumph,
or it could mean that he will hear good news, or he may be appointed as a
governor, or he may admonish people to do good and discard evil, for it is the
month in which God's Prophet Muhammad, upon whom be peace, was born to
this world. If one's dream takes place during the fourth lunar month, known in
Arabic as Rabi'u Thiini, and if it suggests glad tidings, then one may have to
wait and exercise patience, but ifit suggests evil, then such happening will come
fast. During this month, seeing a dream also means victory over one's enemy,
or it could mean conceiving a blessed son who will grow to become a gnostic, or
a hero, for it is during this month that the Imam 'Ali, may God bless his
countenance and be forever pleased with him was born. As for the fifth lunar
month, known in Arabic as Jamiidul Awwal, seeing a dream during this month
means that one should slow down or scrutinize his buying and selling, or it could
mean that he may lose his daughter or wife, for it is in this month that the daughter of God's Messenger, upon whom be peace, Fatima died. May God. be
forever pleased with her. If the dream happens during the sixth lunar month,
known in Arabic as Jamadu Thaw, and if the dream carries a good meaning,
it will come, but slow and one should not contradict it. If one sees this dream
during the seventh lunar month, known in Arabic as Rajab, it means that he
will gain honor and status, for it is the month of the prophet's Ascension (Mi'raj)
and his night journey to the seventh heaven. A dream during the eighth lunar
month, known in Arabic as Sha'ban, represents honor and ranks, for during
this month, every good deed will be honored. As for the ninth lunar month,
known in Arabic as Ramadan, in it, all difficulties will be suspended, evil will
be shun and stinginess will be dispelled. During this month all what is good will
manifest and bad dream will dissipate to become null and void. During this
month, the dreams of a believer may be differently interpreted than the dream
of a disbeliever. If one sees the month of Ramadan in his dream, his dream
means blessings, profits, commanding good and forbidding evil. If the person is
seeking knowledge, then knowledge will be given to him, for it is during this
great month that the Holy Qur'an was revealed. If the person is inflicted with
epilepsy, he will recover from it, for the devils and all evil spirits are shackled
and are rendered powerless during this month. As for the tenth lunar month,
known in Arabic as Shawwal, if one's dream suggests a war or a conflict, it
means that he will come first in it, and that he will triumph. If one sees the
month of Shawwal in his dream, it means that he will come out of difficulties
and finds happiness and devotion, for it is the month during which that God's
House, known as the Ka'aba was built. As for the eleventh lunar month, known
in Arabic as Zul-Qi'dah, if one's dream suggests a trip, then the person should
refrain from taking that trip or perhaps he should delay it for the better. He also
should guard himself where he lives. If the dream denote stress or worries, then
he should avoid whatever may cause them. However, if one's dream takes place
during the twelfth lunar month, known inArabic as Zul-Hijjah indicates a journey
then one may take it, or if it denotes a good business, one should seek it, for it
is a most blessed month and it is the month of festivities and sacrifices. If one
sees this month in his dream or sees himself offering sacrifices in it, or if he sees
himself praying the festival of Sacrifice prayers in it, his dream means paying
one's debts or fulfilling one's vows, repentance from sin, guidance or perhaps his
dream may indicate the death of great people of knowledge, the impeachment
of governors, the changing of governments, or it could mean a sudden war.

Judge
(Man; Person) Seeing a judge or a governor in a dream means involvement
in the judicial business. If one is appointed to be a judge in a dream, it means
that he will be just and righteous. If one sees himself sitting on the bench, but
finds himself unable to handle people’s cases with justice, it means that he is
an unjust person. If one presides over people in a dream, it means that he may
be dismissed from his job. If a traveller becomes a judge in a dream, it means
that he will be held up by robbers, or it could mean that God’s blessings upon
him will turn into a curse. If one sees a known judge being unjust in a dream,
it means that the people of that locality are inequitable and that they cheat in
their weights and measures. If one sees himself standing before a judge, and if
the judge treats him fairly in the dream, it means that he will find justice
concerning a personal case involving himself and an adversary, or it could mean
relief from depression and stress. If the judge is inequitable in the dream, it
means that one will lose to his adversary. If someone sees a judge holding the
scale of justice and that the scale tilts to one’s favor in the dream, it represents
glad tidings of a great reward from God Almighty for one’s deeds. However, if
the scale of justice tilts to the opposite direction, then it represents a warning
from God Almighty for one to repent of his sins, or abandon his involvement in
a sinful ventures. If one sees the judge weighing pennies or bad monies in the
scale of justice, it means that one will give a false testimony which will be
accepted. If one sees himself as a judge, a wise man, a scholar, or a righteous
man in a dream, it means that he will attain fame, good reputation, ascetic
detachment and spiritual knowledge if he qualifies for that. If one is not suitable
for such blessings, then it means that he will be falsely accused of a crime, or
that he maybe robbed during a trip. If a judge looks cheerful in a dream, it means
glad tidings. Seeing the bench of a judge in a dream means a scare or a fight.
Seeing the seat of rulers, judges, speakers, scholars, or teachers in a dream
means disturbance, sorrow, money, business losses, sickness, depression, or the
surfacing of hidden secrets. If a sick person sees himself standing before a judge
in a dream, it means his death. However, if the case is decided to his favor in
the dream, it means that he will recover from his illness. If one who is facing
adversities sees himself sitting in the judges bench in a dream, it means that
he will triumph. An unknown judge in a dream represents God Almighty. A
known judge in a dream represents a physician.

difficulties. Receiving a sour or a bitter tasting food from someone in a dream
means hearing harsh words, and the same interpretation is given if one offers
someone sour or bitter food in a dream. If he eats it, then it means sorrow,
sadness and distress. If one finds himself eating it patiently and thanks God
Almighty for it in the dream, it means that he will escape from such dangers.

malicious fraud, or trouble with one’s neighbors. Seeing Adam and Eve in a
dream also means hardships caused by one’s wife or children, consent for sexual
intercourse, repentance or regret for one’s past. If a woman sees Eve in her

that a major adversity will befall her, since Eve was the first to experience
female menstrual period and the pain of childbirth. It may also mean suffering

Killing
(Murder; Suicide) Killing in a dream represents a major sin. If one kills
himself, or commits suicide in fear of the consequences of his sins in a dream,
it means that he is offering true repentance from his sins, though committing
suicide is a major sin that will lead its author to eternal sufferings in hell-fire.
Killing a human being in a dream means committing an evil and an atrocious
sin. On the other hand, committing an outrageous sin, or a conspicuously
objectionable act in a dream may mean killing someone. If one is killed in a

Slaughtering in a dream means injustice. Killing someone in a dream also

ally commits suicide in a dream, it means that he is a subversive rebel and a
disobedient servant of God almighty. Confessing to a murder in a dream means

the moon splits in two halves in a dream, it means that harm will befall a great

they mean a calamity. In a dream, seeing a sun and a moon on one’s right side
and the same on his left side, above him, in front of him and behind him means
a calamity and a defeat that will force one to retreat or to escape but to no avail.

Young man
(Teenage boy) An unknown young man in a dream represents an
enemy. If the young man is known in the dream, then whatever strength,
harshness, weaknesses, deceit, perfidy, or character he displays, they denote
the same character in wakefulness. Walking behind an unknown young man in
a dream means pursuing one’s enemy and conquering him. If one meets an
unknown young man whom he dislikes in a dream, it means that such an enemy
will surface and people will abhor him. If one happens to like him in the dream,
then it means that he will face an enemy whom most people like and sympathize
with. If a young man sees himself turned into an old person in a dream, it means
that he will suffer major losses in his life. Ayoung man or a teenager in a dream
mostly represents an enemy, for a teenager rarely respects or heeds the advice
of his peers. A young man in a dream also represents deceit, betrayal, energy,
or stubbornness, though he also could represent blessings and gratitude.

Young woman
(Teenage girl) A young girl in a dream represents an enemy
however she may look. Seeing a well dressed and pleasingly adorned young
woman in a dream means hearing pleasing news coming from an unexpected
person. Seeing a young and a beautiful looking female servant in a dream means
blessings, a favor, joy and festivities. In a dream, seeing an unknown young girl
is more advantageous than seeing a known one. The strongest in meaning are
those teenage girls who are presentable, well mannered and beautifully dressed.
If she is seen dressed with modesty in the dream, then she represents goodness,
chastity, discreteness, and following the correct religious conduct. If she adorns
herself and plays up her charms in the dream, then such goodness will be public.
If a young girl sees herself as an old woman in a dream, it means that she will
live with modesty and preserve her chastity. If an old woman sees herself turned
young again in the dream, it means regaining her strength, sexual desire and
fertility. If she engages in lawful sexual intercourse in marriage, it denotes
strong religious adherence. If she engages in sexual intercourse with someone
without marriage in the dream, then her dream represents her love for the world
and attachment to its glitters. If one sees an old woman turned young in a dream,
then the above explanation becomes stronger. However, if one is poor, it means
that her basic needs will be secured. If one has lost her chances in this world,
it means that she will have a new opportunity, or if she is sick, it means that
she will recover from her illness. Seeing a young girl frowning in a dream means
that one may hear disturbing news. If she looks emaciated, then one’s dream
denotes poverty. If she is naked in the dream, it means business losses and
defamation. Marrying a virgin teenage girl in a dream means wealth. (Also see

angel of paradise in a dream means blessings and comfort in one’s life, glad
tidings, an unalterable happiness, and protection from illness. In a dream,
Ridhwan (uwbp) represents the treasurer of the king and his messenger, seeing

disagreements with his superiors then if he sees Ridhwan (uwbp) in a dream,

Ridhwan (uwbp) hands the person a heavenly fruit or a heavenly garment, or
meets him cheerfully with a comforting smile, showing a sign of God’s pleasure
with him. Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also denotes a divine grace which is
bestowed secretly and openly upon the one who sees him. Seeing Ridhwan (uwbp)

world and in the next. If one sees the heavenly angels coming before him to

person his sins and endowed him with the gift of patience and forbearance
through which he will triumph in this life and be blessed in the next. (Also see

Divine Throne
(The Glorious Throne of God Almighty.) Seeingthe Divine Throne
of God Almighty in its perfect form means blessings, glad tidings and correct¬

of God Almighty in a dream may entail whatever good or evil destiny one may
go through. Seeing the Divine Throne in a dream also means receiving a high
ranking position or assuming a noble function, if one qualifies, or it could
represent one’s wife, house, vehicle, victory over his enemy, writing poems, or
doing good deeds for the one who sees it in its perfect, radiant and glorious
manifestation. If one sees the Divine Throne, and ifhe sees God Almighty sitting
on it in a dream, it denotes his faith, certitude, determination and correct
religious adherence. If one sees himself sitting upon the Divine Throne and his
Lord sittingunder it in a dream, and if one qualifies for governing, then it means
that he will oppress the religious scholars, show arrogance and spread evil on
earth. If one does not qualify for governing, then it means that he will become
a disobedient son to his parents, oppose his teacher, rebel against his superior,
issue a verdict without knowledge, commit aggression against others, or ifhe
is a judge, he will be an unjust one. (Also see Allah; Carriers of the Divine Throne;

be peace and blessings, in a dream, it means that he will be victorious and

dispersal of one’s family that will be followed by a joyful reunion. Seeing God’s
prophet Jacob (uwbp) in a dream also means earning God’s nearness through

attachment to his blood ties, though God willing, the results will be positive.
Seeing him in a dream also means a calamity, or loss of family and wealth. The
person in the dream also will be endowed with great patience and will come out
of it victorious. If a sick person sees him (uwbp) in his dream, it means that he
will recover from his illness. If he has a prayer or a need, they will be fulfilled.
If one sees himself wearing Jacob’s robe in a dream, it means that he will be
afflicted with calamities, distress, separation from his family and beloveds, or
it could mean an illness. At the end, his sufferings will vanish to be replaced with
happiness. Seeing God’s prophet Jacob (uwbp) in a dream also means business,
travels, rising prices, stashing merchandise then revealing it. If a woman sees
Jacob’s wife in a dream, it means that she will be stripped of her wealth and
become subject of defamation, though again, the conclusion of her case will turn
positive. It also could mean the imprisonment of one of her children. If a sick
person sees her in a dream, it means that he will recover by God’s mercy and
grace, since her name was ‘Rahma’ (Mercy). (Also see Joseph, upon whom be

(Tithe) Paying the dues alms tax in a dream means increase in one’s
income or prosperity. If a rich man sees himself paying the due tithe on his liquid
assets in a dream, it means increase in his wealth, a spiritual growth and

of one’s due tithe also represents protection from one’s enemies. Paying alms tax
in a dream also means performing supererogatory prayers during the night,

dream also means the death of a dear person in the family, or it could mean

a departed soul, or payment of one’s debts. Thus, paying alms tax in a dream

debts, all of which earn levels of exaltation and blessings. To pay charity on one’s
property of silver in a dream means begetting a son, or it could mean getting
married. If it is a poor person, then paying alms tax in a dream represents God’s
acceptance of one’s deeds. If he is a sinner, it means that he will repent of sin

(Valley) Seeing a ravine or a valley with a dry watercourse in a dream means
going on a tiering trip, taking a longjourney, or it could represent an intractable
person. Seeing a wadi in a dream denotes good deeds, or making offerings to
please God Almighty. A wadi in a dream also represents its dwellers, a tribe from
that region, or its plantations. If one sees the wadi blossoming with fruit trees,
fragrant flowers, a running water course, or if one hears nice words during such
a dream, it means that he will rise in station, or mingle with people in power,
or receive an appointment in the government, and for a righteous person, it
means that miraculous events and blessings will be shown at his hands by God’s
leave. Seeing a wadi in a dream also means rain, and that the ravine will be filled

steep mountains surrounding it and the difficulty in crossing it. Seeing oneself
in a wadi floating in the air until one reaches a desired altitude in a dream means
working for a powerful person. A wadi in a dream also represents a warrior, a
bandit, a highway robber or a lion. If a wadi obstructs one’s journey in a dream,

If one is not travelling, then it means distress, adversity, harm, imprisonment,
fear, or illness. Crossing a wadi in the wintertime in a dream means escaping
from danger. Digging a wadi in a dream means the death of a family member.
Falling into a steep wadi in a dream and feeling no pain or incurring no harm
from it in a dream means that one will receive a gift from someone in authority

Bucket
(Well) If one sees himself drawing water from a well with a bucket in a
dream, it means that he earns his money through deception, that is to acquire
unlawful money. If he finds money inside the bucket instead of water in the
dream, it means that he will suffer from a calamity. If he draws water from the
well to fill a pitcher in the dream, it means that such money will soon be spent
or that its benefits will be mixed with misdeeds. If one sees himself watering a
garden from that bucket in a dream, it means that he will get married and
benefit from his wife’s wealth. If the garden blossoms with flowers in the dream,
it means that he will beget a son. If one sees himself drawing water from an old
well to give water to his camels or to provide drinks for people in a dream, it
means that he performs good deeds and that he is a charitable person. He then
becomes like a shepherd. If one draws water from an old well to give drink to
animals in his dream, it means that he is a hypocrite and through falsehood, he
fabricates as many tricks as the amount of water he draws from that old well.
If one sees himself lowering the bucket into the well for himself to drink in the
dream, it means that his so-called charitable deeds are solely done for his
worldly gains, money, respect or status. If a prisoner sees himself drawing water
with a bucket to take a bath in a dream, it means that he will escape from jail
or that he will be released shortly. It also means that he will receive money and
rejoice after his sorrows. Ifone’s wife is pregnant and ifhe sees himself lowering
a bucket in a well to draw water in a dream, it means that his wife will deliver
a son. Ifhe is a merchant, it means that his new merchandise will arrive safely
to his shop. If he is sick, it means that he will miraculously wake-up healthy
again. Standing by a well in a dream means blessings and benefits. A well in
a dream also represents a woman. Otherwise, if one is a student, then the well
represents his teacher. What one draws from a well in a dream also represents
his luck.

or performing the funeral prayer on him or carrying his coffin or prostrating to

Palace
A palace in a dream represents a prison, tightness, shortage of cash, or
loss of respect for an abominable and sinful person. If a rich person sees a palace
in his dream, then it means rising in station, or repayment of his debts. Seeing
a palace from a distance in a dream also means prosperity. A palace in a dream
represents an unknown person, or a private person who maintains a steady
religious life. Entering a palace in a dream means gaining authority, rising in
station, and a growing religious adherence. If one sees himself managing his
own palace in a dream, it means exaltation, power and reverence. If the palace
he is managing in the dream belongs to someone else, then it means earnings
from such a person. A palace in a dream also denotes good deeds. Entering a
palace in a dream also means getting married. Entering a palace made of glass
means a marriage that will not last. It is thus said that a palace in a dream can
be interpreted in eight different ways: that is blessings, money, leadership,
rank, management, authority, attaining one’s goals and happiness. Residing in
one of the palaces of paradise in a dream means leadership, victory, or marriage.

houses, religions or sects. If a storm damages a tree, burns it, or causes it to falls

tree in a dream also represents a famous person, a man of knowledge, the wife

Elderly person
An unknown elderly person in a dream represents one’s good luck,
happiness and one’s assiduity and diligence. If the unknown elderly person
looks strong in the dream, he represents one’s strength. Otherwise, if he looks
feeble, then he represents one’s weakness. Whatever physical conditions an
elderly person is seen with in the dream, such condition will reflect in one’s own
state. If an elderly person comes toward the person seeing the dream, it means
that someone will help him attain a praiseworthy rank. If one follows an elderly
person in a dream, it means that he follows a good path. If one sees an elderly
person and displeases him in the dream, it means that he will displease a close
friend or reject his advice. If he pleases him in the dream, it means that he will
consent with a close good friend and they will walk together on the path to reap
material as well as spiritual benefits. If one sees a gathering of friendly people
but could not determine whether they are young or elderly in a dream, it means
that he will discover new avenues in his life and he will draw material and
spiritual benefits from them. If he sees a gathering of young people he does not
recognize in the dream, it means that he will associate himself with rich people.
If he sees a gathering of elderly people he does not recognize in the dream, it
means that he will associate himself with good friends. If a woman sees an
elderly person she could not recognize in the dream, he represents the world.
If a young man sees himself turned into an elderly person in a dream, it means

person in a dream means receiving honor and rank. If an elderly person sees
himself turned young in a dream, it represents his strength, wealth, good living

his death. If an elderly person sees himself beingborn again in a dream, it means
his death. If he is ill, it could represent his attachment to the world, and if he
is poor, it could denote his earning. If an elderly person sees himself as a youth
in a dream, it could also mean committing a childish act or an unwise act. A wise
elderly person in a dream represents honor, rank, dignity, wealth, blessings and
longevity. On the other hand, seeing an elderly person in a dream could

Doing a good deed in a dream means repentance, reestablishing the
connection with one’s blood relations, uniting one’s family with love or being

ning what is forbidden incurs the divine pleasure and bounty, and brings profits

dream means receiving an inheritance. Doing a good deed in a dream also

Allah
God Almighty, Lord, Creator and Cherisher of the universes. There is
nothing like unto Him and He is the All-Hearing, the Al-Seeing Lord. Seeing
Him in a dream can be interpreted according to one’s state of being. If one sees
Him in His glory and majesty, without descriptive designation, without ascrip¬
tion of human characteristics to Him and without depiction or portrayal in the
dream, it is an indication of glad tidings for both this world and the hereafter.These blessings also may continue to affect the lives of one’s progeny. If one sees
Him otherwise in a dream, it means confusion, and particularly if the Almighty
Lord does not address him. If an ailing person sees Him in a dream, it means
that he will soon die and come to meet Him. If a straying soul sees God Almighty
in a dream, it will find guidance. If an oppressed person sees Him, it means that
justice will prevail and he will triumph over his oppressors. Hearing God’s words
without designation represents the imagination of the person in the dream.
Perhaps hearing His words in a dream appeases one’s heart and increases the
person’s drive for success. Hearing God’s words without seeing Him represents
the rising of one’s station. If one receives revelations from behind a veil in a
dream, it means mental confusion and innovation. This is most true if a
messenger comes in one’s dream and describes the one who spoke as God. In this
case, the dream is a nightmare, because God Almighty cannot be depicted
according to human descriptions. If one sees a picture of God in his dream, it
means that he is a liar who ascribes images to God Almighty that do not befit
His Majesty and Glory. If one hears God Almighty talking to him directly and
if he can focus at Him in the dream, it means that he will be encompassed with
God’s mercy and blessings. If one sees God Almighty in a dream, it means that
he will look at His Divine countenance in the hereafter. Seeing God Almighty
seated on the Divine Throne in a dream means elevation of one’s rank,
knowledge and increase in his wealth. If one sees himself running away to hide
from God Almighty in a dream, it means that he will change the course of his
devotion into heedlessness. Seeing a veil separating between the servant and
his Lord in a dream means that one will commit major sins and abominable
actions. If one sees his Lord frowning at him, whereby he could not bear the
effulgence of God’s light, or if he is seized by a shock and immediately commences
to repent and pray for forgiveness in the dream, it means that such a person is
indulging in abominable actions, and that he is a despicable sinner who follows
his own mind and desires, and that he is an innovator of religious thoughts who
misleads the people. If one hears God Almighty talking to him in a dream, it
represents an admonition and a warning to abstain from sin. If one hears God
Almighty talking to him in a dream, it also means that one is more assiduous
in his recital of the Quran. If one hears God Almighty talking to him with words
he cannot understand, then if He anoints him and blesses him in the dream, it
means that God Almighty will bring him nigh unto Himself and exalt his station.
If one sees God Almighty in a form resembling one’s father, a brother or a
relative and showing His kindness or blessing him in a dream, it means that he
will be afflicted with a calamity and a major illness. If a righteous person sees
himself standing before God Almighty in reverence and filled with awe in a
dream, it means that mercy will encompass him and help him to further his
growth. The same interpretation applies if one sees himself prostrating before
Him. If God Almighty speaks to someone from behind a veil in a dream, it can
also represent a good worshipper, but if the Divine address takes place without
a veil in the dream, it means falling into sin. If God Almighty names someone
in his dream with his birth name, then adds another title to it, it means rising
in station and rank. If one sees God Almighty angry with him in a dream, it
means that his parents are displeased with him. This description includes
seeing oneself falling from the skies or from the top of a mountain. If a devoted
servant sees God Almighty kissing him in a dream, it applies to his growing
devotion and reward. Fearing God Almighty in a dream reflects eminence,
peacefulness, quiescence, wealth of being and disregard for material needs.

Entering a house
If one sees himself entering someone else’s house in a dream,
it means that he will defeat him, gain the upper hand in business over him or
control his interests. To enter the house of the governor and to feel comfortable
and at ease therein in a dream means that he is soliciting the governor’s
assistance in a personal business. The coming of a just person to a house in a
dream means blessings. If an unjust person enters a place in a dream, it means
that evil and calamities will befall such a house. If it is customary for such a
person to enter that place, then no harm will incur from his coming or going. If
one sees himself entering a house of unfamiliar substance, ground or structure,
and if he meets departed souls whom he recognizes in the dream, it means that
he has entered the realms of the dead. If he sees himself going into that sphere,
then coming out of it in the dream, it means that he will near his death, then
recover from a serious illness. Entering the Sacred House in Mecca in a dream
means entering one’s house as a newlywed. (Also see Marketplace)

Fountain
In a dream, a fountain placed in a suitable place or as a decorative item
in the middle of a yard or a park represents honor, dignity, dispelling worries
or adversities, hearing good news or listening to good music, squandering
money, dispersal of one’s interests, breaking a gathering, or adding and sub¬
tracting if seen near an accountant. A fountain in a dream also means avoiding
evil actions. If one is told that such a fountain is a blessed one in the dream, it
means the opposite, and should one wash himself with its water or drink from
it in a dream, it means depression and trouble. A fountain in a dream also could
represent a beautiful, rich and a noble woman. If no water is coming from the
fountainhead in the dream, then it represents a poor woman or a barren woman.
(Also see Fountainhead; Spring)
Fountainhead: A fountainhead in a dream represents blessings, grace, bounty and
attaining one’s goal. If one sees many springs gushing forth inside his own house
in a dream, and if he is not a discrete person, it represents a calamity that will
bringhim and his family to their knees with sorrow and tears. If one sees himself
taking a ritual ablution for prayers from a fountainhead in a dream, it means
that he will receive lawful money. Discovering a fountainhead in a dream means
prosperity. If the spring gushes forth inside one’s house or from the walls of one’s
house in the dream, then it means a calamity or a misfortune that will be caused
by a woman, a brother or a brother in-law. If the water flows into the street in
a dream, it means that such a calamity or adversity will leave that house and
peace will finally prevail. If the water is pure and clean in the dream, it means
depression along with a strong and a healthy body. What is disliked in such
dreams is the murky water. If one owns a stream in a dream, it represents one’s
livelihood, his shop, business, work, or one’s good deeds that remain beneficial
even after his death and until the Day of Judgment such as a blessed progeny,
a school or a mosque he builds, a road he opens, a book of knowledge he leaves
behind.oracharitableendowment. Seeingwaters overflowing from afountainhead
and flooding one’s property means sadness, crying and sorrow and the same
applies if one drinks from that water in his dream. If one sees several springs
gushing forth in a dream, it means prospering through dirty actions and
corruption. Seeing a spring in the valley in a dream means blessings for most
people and particularly for the sick and the needy. A dried well in a dream means
the opposite. If one who is suffering from depression sees a spring in his dream,
it means relief from his difficulties, repayment of his debts, recovering from his
illness, or repentance from his sins. A spring of sweet water in a dream also
means collecting one’s profits or rents. If one sees a rivulet carrying pure and
sweet water to his house in a dream, it means profits, easy life and blessings that
will be driven to him. (Also see Rivulet; Spring)

Peacock
In a dream, a peacock represents a vain and a strutting person. A
peacock in a dream also could represent a beautiful and a wealthy woman, or
cheerful looking people. If one sees himself owning apeacock and a pigeon in a
dream, it means that he is a pimp. A female peacock in a dream represents a
bride, children, or wealth. Owning a peacock in a dream also means wandering,
heedlessness, pride, ostentatiousness, backbiting, deceit, lies, confiding into
one’s enemy, loss of blessings, experiencing poverty after being rich and
tightness after plenitude. Seeing a peacock in a dream also means jewelry,
clothing, presidency, a beautiful wife, marriage and good children. Eating the
flesh of a peacock in a dream means the death of one’s wife and inheriting her
wealth. To hold the radiant rain-bow colored plumules of a peacock in a dream
means profits earned earned through a woman. To catch the chick of a peacock
in a dream means profits through a son from that woman, or it could mean that
one may beget a son. (Also see Chicken)

Cistern
In a dream, a water cistern represents a pouch, a safe, a box, a coffer, a
partner, one’s wife, a son, or knowing people’s personal secrets. If the oil cistern
is filled with water in the dream, it means stagnation of any of the above. If one
sees a water cistern filled with oil in a dream, then it means prosperity. The
cistern of a fellowship house, a khanakah or a mosque in a dream represents its
Imam or its supervising spiritual teacher or the caretaker and guard of the
property. If one sees the water cistern of the house sitting in an unsuitable place
in that house in a dream, it represents the spirit of a jinni who pursues such a
person or who may haunt his house. If one sees a well being used as a cistern
in his house in a dream, it denotes that the dwellers of that house are of the
middle class, or it could mean that the water of that house is salty or non-
potable. If one sees the cistern filled with butter or honey or milk in a dream,
it means that one’s wife is pregnant, or it could mean prosperity for that family.
If the family of such a house is thirsty in the dream, and if the cistern is filled
with other than water, then it means that they owe alms tax and must pay the
necessary charity on their assets, or it could mean that such a family has turned
its back to God’s path and preferred worldly gains instead, or that they have a
knowledge that they do not practice, or it could mean shortage of rain in that
locality that necessitates spending money on God’s path. A cistern in a dream
also could represent a protective shield or a pocket, one’s dignity, blessings or
attaining a respectable rank or dispelling difficulties. However, this interpre¬
tation can only apply for those who use a cistern or a similar water container
or a water dispenser and in their case, it also could mean peace and protection
from any fears. (See Urn)

Well
In a dream, a well inside one’s house means prosperity, riches, a wife,
business, a teacher, poverty, deception, fulfillment of one’s needs, travels, goals,
stinginess, generosity, or it could mean a servant. The structural condition of
each well in a dream has its own interpretation. A well in a dream also represent
a woman who has a loud laughter, or it could represent a pleasant and an in¬
spiring woman. If a woman sees a well in a dream, it means meeting a man of
good character. If one sees himself looking into a well in a dream, it means that
he is thinking about a particular woman for marriage. A well in a dream is also
interpreted to represent knowledge, marriage, a big man, prison, ties, or
deception. If one digs a well and finds water in it in his dream, it means that
he will marry a wealthy woman whom he will deceive. If the water gushes forth,
rises and runs outside of an old well in the dream, it represents crying and grief
in that place. Digging a well and finding water to channel for one’s garden in
a dream means taking an herbal remedy to cure one’s impotence, or to save his
marriage. Falling into a well of muddy waters in a dream means that one may
become subject to the tyranny of an unjust ruler. If the water he falls into is clear
in the dream, it means that he will willingly work to serve a righteous man and
for a nominal wage. Falling into a well in a dream also means demotion, or it
could mean travels. Sitting at the edge of a well in a dream means dealing with
a deceiving person. A collapsed well in a dream represents a dying woman.
Reaching a well which is dug for the general public to draw from its water means
getting relief after suffering from difficulties. Finding a well adjacent to a
barmaid in a dream means finding a spiritual teacher, or joining a fellowship
and a school for the seekers. If one sees the well of Zamzam quenching the thirst
of people in a particular neighborhood other than Mecca in a dream, it means
that a gnostic will come to that town, and whose knowledge and wisdom will
greatly benefit its people. It also may denote the bounty and blessings which are
imparted to that town, or it could denote the victory of its people over their real
enemy. Drinking from such a well in a dream means fulfillment of one’s
intentions and satisfaction of his needs. In a dream, a well also means a prison
or depression. If one is in such a state, it means that his adversities will
dissipate, and that he will reestablish himself in the circles of people in
authority. If the person in the dream is a seer who predicts events, then he may
be involved in the circles of governors, particularly to interpret their dreams.
It is possible that he also might receive emissaries of notable people who will
bring him what pleases him. It also could mean a fight in one’s family involving
jealousy, envy, betrayal, though at the end one will triumph over them. Falling
into a well in a dream also means being indicted in an alleged crime from which
one is clearly innocent. A well in a dream is also interpreted as levying taxes,
or it could mean circumcision. Digging a well in a dream also represents a crafty
and an artful deceiver.

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
dream that he did not die, it means that he is blessed in the hereafter. Carrying
a deceased person in a dream means carrying the provisions or food supplies of
an irreligious and an ungodly person. Carrying a dead person in a different way
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
that he is being questioned about forsaking his religious attendance during his
lifetime. If one sees the dwellers of the graveyards coming out of their grave to
eat people's harvest or food supplies in a dream, it means rising of food prices.
If he sees them drinking from the wells in a dream, it means that a great plague
will befall that town. If one sees a deceased person die, then if he walks in his
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.
Discovering a body of a deceased in a dream means finding money. Walking
behind a deceased person in a dream means following his footsteps or emulating
his trade or traditions, whether they be material or spiritual. If the Imam of the
country dies in a dream, it means destruction of that city by war. On the other
hand, if one sees a city in ruins in a dream, it means that the Imam has died.
If one sees that he is immortal in a dream, it means the nearing of his death.
Death in a dream also signifies being recalled to account for a major sin or a
crime. To die in a dream with no apparent reason or illness and to exhibit no
features of a dead person means longevity. To suffer from death-pangs in a
dream means being unjust to oneself or to others. To sees oneself dead and naked
in a dream means poverty. To see oneself dead and lying on a straw-mat or a
carpet in a dream means prosperity and success in the world. Ifone sees himself
dead lying on a litter in a dream, it means rising in rank. Ifhe is lying on a bed
in the dream, it means benefits from one's family. If one hears about the death
of an unknown person in a dream, it means a warning about his success in the
world at the expense of his religious compromises. If one's son dies in a dream,
it means that he will escape from an enemy. If one's daughter dies in a dream,
it means despair from relief. If one dies and gets buried in a dream, it means
his freedom. Otherwise, if he is entrusted with something, it means that he will
be required to deliver it back to its rightful owner. If one dies and gets buried
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

from his homeland, it means that he will return to it. Death in a dream has

means befriending some hypocrites. Walking in the company of a deceased
person in a dream means undertaking a long journey, or it could mean profits
from one's travels. Eating the flesh of a dead person in a dream means enjoying

will rejoice. If a deceased person eats something in a dream, it means that such
a commodity will become expensive. If one sees himself laying on a washing
table in a funeral home in a dream, it means that his sins will be washed away
and that his debts will be paid. If a deceased person asks someone to wash his
cloth in a dream, it means that he needs the prayers and forgiveness of the
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.
If one washes the deceased person's clothes in the dream, it means that the
deceased person will become free from his burdens in the hereafter. Transport-
ing dead people to the cemetery in a dream means that one is doing something
right. If he transports them to the marketplace in a dream, it means that he
needs something, or that his merchandise will be sold quickly. If one sees that
a deceased person has returned to life in a dream, it means that one will

difficulties, it means that his adversities will dissipate. If a deceased person
comes back to life in a dream, it also means that his progeny will benefit from
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

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
his injustices or his abominable attitude toward his father or mother. If the
deceased person complains about his eyes in the dream, it means that he is being

legs in a dream, it means that he is being questioned about wasting his life in
corruption and falsehood. If he complains about his feet in the dream, it means

same. Like that, each limb provides for a specific stand one took during his
lifetime in this world. (See Body'). If a living person gives a deceased person
something to eat or drink in a dream, it means loss of money. If he gives a
deceased person a garment in the dream, it means adversity or an illness. If a
deceased person gives the person seeing the dream his own shroud to wear in
a dream, it means his death. If a deceased person gives the person seeing the

lawful earnings from an unexpected source. If the deceased person gives him

friends. If a sick person sees himself kissing a deceased person in a dream, it
means that he will shortly die. If a healthy person sees that same dream, it
means that what he says is false. Having sexual intercourse with a deceased
person in his grave in a dream means committing adultery or mixing with an
evil person or losing money to a deceitful and a hypocritical person. If one sees
that a deceased woman has come back to life, and if he engages in sexual
intercourse with her, then finds his body spattered with her ova and semen in
a dream, it means that he has committed something which he regrets. Consequently he will suffer losses because of it. To have a wedding with a deceased
person and to move to his or her house in the dream means one's own death.
Walking behind a deceased person and entering an unknown house from which
one does not come out again in the dream means death. If one follows the
deceased person and does not enter such a house in the dream, it means that
he will near his death, then recuperate from his illness. If a deceased person
beats the person seeing the dream, it means that one has displeased his Lord
and has committed an abominable act from which he should repent, for in the
abode of truth, a deceased person accepts only what pleases God Almighty and
dislikes what He dislikes. If one sees a living person beating a deceased person
who is willingly submitting to his fate in a dream, it represents the spiritual and
religious strength and the rank of the living person, his charities, prayers,
devotion, piety, or it could mean that he is fulfilling the deceased person's will.

the abode of rest and comfort for the believers. Sleeping in one bed with a

dead people have no more deeds to offer. Ifa married woman marries a deceased
person in a dream, it means her divorce from her husband, while if an unmarried
woman marries a deceased person in a dream means that she will get married.
In a dream, death also means being inflamed with love or separation from one's

suffering from separation in a hell-fire. (Also seeAgony of death; Funeral prayers;

Prophet
In a dream, each one of God’s prophets, upon all of them be peace and
blessings, is like a compassionate father toward his son, who is trying to save
his child from the hell of this world and the hell-fire in the hereafter. In a dream,
a prophet also represents a teacher, a tutor, a shaikh, a warning, or glad tidings.
If one sees them standing in a stately form, or if one prays behind them, or
follows them on the road, or eats something from their delicious food, or drinks
from their drink, or if one is anointed with their perfume, or learns something
from them, or acquires a particular knowledge from them in a dream, it
demonstrates his trueness, faith in God’s oneness, following His Messenger and
being faithful to his traditions. Otherwise, if one walks before them, or leads
them into a narrow lane, or stones them, or mocks them, or argues with them
in a dream, it means that he is an innovator and a heedless person. This could
also mean that he will be persecuted by his superiors, for a prophet in a dream
also represents a ruler or a king, and God’s prophets are in truth the guardians
of the souls, and they are kings in this world and in the hereafter. A prophet in
a dream also represents a religious scholar, because religious scholars are the
heirs of the prophets, upon all of them be peace. Religious scholars also know
God’s prophets better than the common people. They understand their message
and follow their traditions of glorifying God’s Oneness, devotion, piety, prayers,
charity, acting upon what they know and admonishing others to follow the path
of truth and righteousness. A prophet in a dream also represents one’s superior,
a preacher, a righteous Imam, a conscientious teacher and a caller to God
Almighty. Seeing any of God’s prophets looking gracious, stately and courtly in
a dream also represents his people’s devotion, or that a major and a positive
change will take place among his followers. If such a prophet looks spurious,
unhappy in a dream, or if he appears in a state that does not befit God’s prophets,
it means that his followers in the world have deviated from his path and created
their own religion, opposing his commands, falsifying and interpreting his
message to their own liking and abusing his admonition. If one claims to be a
prophet in a dream, it means that he will become known in his field, or if he
qualifies, he may become a ruler, a judge, a teacher or a caller to God Almighty,
commanding what is good and forbidding what is evil. Otherwise, it means that
he will be inflicted with a great calamity because of a falsehood he fosters, or
innovations he practices. If one becomes a messenger in a dream or a caller to
God Almighty, and if someone hearkens to him and accepts his message in the
dream, it means that he will rise in rank. Otherwise, it means that he will
become a broker, a liar, a defrauder, a swagger, depending on his level of
knowledge, or it could mean that he will be struck with a major calamity in his
life. Such a calamity will be of the same caliber, degree and nature that a
messenger of God Almighty may have suffered from his own people. Seeing one
of God’s prophets in a dream also means living the experience of time, space and
condition in which he saw him in the dream. Wearing the cloak of one of God’s
prophets in a dream means attaining one’s goals, or presiding over people, or
acquiring true knowledge. Consequently, one will become renowned, revered
and his opinions will be respected by most people. If one becomes a prophet in
a dream, it means that he will die as a martyr, or become poor and be gifted with
patience and endurance. He will then be granted victory, and God willing, all
his needs will be satisfied. Emulating the devotion of a prophet in a dream
means trueness in one’s faith, compliance with God’s religion, certitude and
determination. Becoming one of God’s prophets, upon all of them be peace and
blessings, in a dream means commanding good and forbidding evil, suffering
from adversities and distress equal to those endured by such a prophet, then one
will escape from destruction or humiliation by God’s leave and through His
subtle kindness. If one sees a prophet suffering from poverty and asking for help
in a dream, it means that God Almighty will satisfy all the needs of the person
seeing such a dream for the sake of the blessings reserved for that prophet. If
one kills a prophet in a dream, it means that he will betray a trust, negate a
promise, or deny a covenant. Living in the time of one of God’s prophets on earth
in a dream means honor, dignity, success, piety and wealth if one is suited for
such gifts. Otherwise, it means that Satan is deceiving him. If a prophet of God
Almighty beats a righteous and a sincere believer in a dream, it means that he
will attain peace and salvation in his life in the hereafter. If a prophet talks to
someone in a dream, it means that he will receive blessings, honor, status,
knowledge, wisdom and fame in his life. (Also see Muhammad, upon whom be
peace.)

Jasmine
In a dream, jasmine denotes happiness, blessings and benefits. It also
represents religious scholars and spiritual teachers. If one sees heavenly angels
descending from the heavens to pick jasmine flowers in a dream, it means the
death of scholars. Jasmine in a dream also means despair, or making a false
oath. It also could mean dispelling anxieties, distress and adversities. As for a
bachelor, jasmine in a dream means getting married. Seeing a jasmine flower
in one’s hand in a dream also means recovering from a chest cold or a fever.

Wild thyme
In a dream, wild thyme means hoarding money, or it could mean
virility and rejuvenation of one’s sexual appetite. In a dream, wild thyme also
means continuous blessings, power, a good business, a woman or a child. Seeing
wild thyme in the field is better than seeing it cut in a dream, for once any
fragrant plant is cut in a dream, then it means distress and worries. (Also see
Wild plants)

Laughing
Laughing in a dream means happiness and joy in wakefulness, except
if one bursts with a horselaugh or falls over his back from laughing in his dream.
If so, then it means crying. If one’s laughter in his dream is caused by a joke,
then it denotes his dishonesty. The same goes for laughing by imitation in a
dream which means falling into sin. Laughing in a dream also could mean
sorrow in wakefulness. Laughing in a dream also means that one will receive
news about a newborn son. If one’s laughter in a dream is as gentle and soft as
a smile, then it denotes his good character and means happiness, or it could
denote exactly what he shall see in wakefulness. If one sees the earth laughing
in a dream, it means a good harvest in that land. If one sees a deceased person
laughing in a dream, it means that he is in paradise, and enjoying the blessings
of the hereafter. Laughing in a dream also represents lightheadedness, frivolity
and buoyancy. This is particularly true when it denotes capable people, or people
in authority, where laughing in a dream could mean their dismissal from office.
(Also see Crying; Laughter)

Lice
Lice in a dream mean worldly success and prosperity. If one finds lice in his
shirt in a dream, they mean receiving an endowment, or renewal of a leadership
position. In a dream, lice in one’s shirt also may represent something one does
not care for it to last. If one’s shirt is made of a rag, or if it is tattered in the dream,
it means indebtedness. Lice on the floor in a dream represent weak people. If
they surround the person in his dream, it mean that he mixes with such people.
If he hates them in the dream, then they represent his enemies, though they
cannot cause him any harm. If they bite him in the dream, then they represent
people who slander him. If a louse flies away from one’s chest in a dream, it
means that one’s son or an employee has run away from his house or place of
business. If a large louse comes out of one’s skin in a dream, it means losing one’s
life. A louse in a dream also represents a woman, a housekeeper, a son, an
illness, an invading army, soldiers, depression, or distress. For a ruler or a
policeman, lice represent his helpers. As for a teacher, lice in a dream represent
his students, and for merchants, they represent his envious competition, while
for a craftsperson or tradesmen they mean taxes. As for sick people, lice in a
dream represent what seems to be a lasting illness. Cutting a louse in half in
a dream means being good toward one’s children. Eating a louse in a dream
means backbiting someone. A colony of lice in a dream represent punishment.
Lice in a dream also represent one’s dependents or relatives who backbite,
slander and divide the family. An invasion office in a dream means blessings,
wealth, relief from difficulties, dispelling all worries and sorrows. Killing a louse
in a dream means the same in wakefulness. If one wakes up from a dream in
which lice were attacking him, it means that he will not escape from depression,
difficulties or adversities. Picking up a louse from one’s shirt or garment in a
dream means hearing lies. If one becomes allergic to lice and starts itching in
a dream, it means debts. Plant lice in a dream represent wrath, a calamity or
a punishment. (Also see Nit)

Face
One’s face in a dream represents his state. If it appears cheerful and
handsome looking in the dream, it represents glad tidings, happiness and a good
life, though if it looks opaque in the dream, it means the opposite. In general,
a yellow face in a dream means humiliation, loneliness, hypocrisy or illness. If
a believer sees his face yellow in a dream, it denotes his devotion and fear of
wrongdoing. Yellowness of the face in a dream also could mean being In love.
If an African person sees his face white in a dream, it means hypocrisy,
impudence and shamelessness. If a Caucasian sees his face black in a dream,
it means that his heart and intentions are better than what a stranger may
think of him. If one’s face appears white and his body black in a dream, it means
that he shows decency and disguises inappropriateness. If a whiskerless person
sees hair growing over the sides of his upper lip in a dream, it means that he
carries burdening debts, or that he has lost dignity. If one’s face looks different
or missing some of its clarity or beauty in a dream, it denotes someone who jokes
excessively, for immoderate jesting, hilarity or mirth decreases people’s respect.
If there is no skin to cover one’s cheeks in a dream, it means that he lives from
asking others for his needs. Dust coveringone’s face in a dream means deficiency
in one’s religious devotion. If one’s face or eyes turn bluish in a dream, it means
that he is a criminal in God’s sight. An opaque face in a dream represents a liar
or an innovator. If the color of one’s face is blush or reddish with white spots in
the dream, it means joy, happiness and good living. If a righteous person sees
his face blush in a dream, it means that he feels ashamed of something he did.
If one’s face is soaking with sweat in a dream, it represents his modesty and
reserve. If one is frowning, and if the color of his face turns red in the dream,
it means that he may suffer from distress or losses. Frowning in someone’s face
in a dream also means suffering at his hand. If a woman sees her face blackened
with soot in a dream, it means the death of her husband. If she sees herself
putting makeup and anointing herself with perfume in a dream, it means good
news for her and for her husband. A smiling and a cheerful face in a dream
connotes happiness and righteousness whether the person is alive or dead. The
beauty of a woman’s face or that of a child in a dream means blessings. Having
two faces in a dream mean a grievous and an woeful end, for God Almighty does
not look at someone who has two faces. If a scholar sees himself having several
faces in a dream, it means that he is utilizing his knowledge in various
applications, or giving a subject several possible interpretations. A frowning
face, a crying face, a scarred face, or the darkness of one’s face in a dream also
mean loss of job, fear, or they could represent a liar. If the skin of one’s face is
crackingin a dream, it denotes lack of modesty or absence of shame. Adisgusting
look on one’s face in a dream means loathsomeness, and loathsomeness in a
dream represents a disgusting face. (Also see Body; Jesting)

performingone’s regular obligatory prayers, or beingoft-forgetful, and distracted
during one’s prayers. Leading the funeral prayers in a dream and interceding
with exaggerated invocations on behalf of the deceased in a dream means

for those who passed away in a dream means attending a funeral. Performing

religious attendance, release of a prisoner, arrival of a traveller, recovery of a
sick person, marriage of an unwed person, guidance, repentance, learning the
Quran, buying new clothing for one’s children, having a loyal servant, or
earning blessed monies. Seasonal sweets in a dream represent witnessing an
annual festival, or the reinstatement of a just ruler. To feel saturated with
sweets in a dream means self-conceit, lies, or it could mean extollment, or
speaking nice words. Eating sweets in a dream also means suffering from cold
symptoms. Though, eating fermented sweets or preserves in a dream may
represent a cure. If a sweet is made from the basic four ingredients (i.e., honey,
sugar, flour and manna or dates, or other fillings) in a dream, it means
happiness, longevity, or escaping from the consequences of a dangerous busi¬
ness one ventures in with greed. As for a believer, eating sweets in a dream
means tasting the blessings of one’s faith, though for a disbeliever, it means
indulging in the pleasures of this world. (Also see Pastry; Seasonal sweets; Sweets
maker)

Air
Standing in the air in a dream means being honored or acknowledged by a
governor, though it will not last. If one has exaggerated hopes, arrogance, pride,
or if he is a self-centered individual, then his floating in the air represents mere
disturbed dreams. Walking in the air without ascending or descending in a
dream means receiving dignity, honor and earning lawful money. If one does not
qualify for it, then walking in the air in his dream means travels. Hanging in
the air between the heavens and the earth in a dream represents a concerned
heart and uncertainty about what to do! Falling in the air in a dream means
despair or loss of status in wakefulness. Falling in a dream also means relief
from distress, wantonness, or satisfying one’s needs. Clear, fresh and pure air
in a dream represents a good time to take a trip for business or pleasure. Air
in a dream also represents one’s desire and passion. Thus, disobeying one’s
mind, desire and passion in a dream means entering the heavenly paradise.
Following one’s desires in a dream means negligence of once religious duties.
Standing up in the air and speaking loud in a dream means blessings, favors,
money, honor and fame. Sitting in the air in a dream means arrogance and self-
deception regarding religious opinions. Building a house up in the air or placing
a mat in the air or raising a tent in the air means death of a sick person, and
what is built in this case is one’s own coffin. If a governor sees that dream, it
means his dismissal from his office or his death. Seeing that dream after a
wedding or after having marital relations with one’s wife means mistrust and
loss. It also means involvement in an uncouth action, lacking knowledge of the
Holy Book and prophetic traditions, because what one has built lacks a foun- dation. Flying in the air in a dream may mean travels. Flying with wings in a
dream has stronger connotations and is safer. The wings here will represent
money or power. Swimming in the air means benefits or business travels. If the
air looks opaque in one’s eyes, so he cannot see the skies in his dream, it means
problems with one’s superior. If one does not have a boss, then it means that he
may lose his sight. If all the people witnessed the air opaque or red in the dr earn,
then it means a major calamity and a trying adversity. (Also see Ascending in
the Skies; Flying)

Gratitude
To be grateful to God Almighty in a dream means dispelling stress,
gaining strength, wealth, blessings, prosperity or a good harvest. If someone in
authority sees himself thanking God Almighty for His blessings in a dream, it
means expansion of his authority. Gratitude to God Almighty for His blessings
in a dream represents a monotheist, or one who submits to God’s Will. If he is
a hypocrite, it means that he will turn sincere, and if he is a true being to his
Lord, it means that he will join the company of a noble, powerful, wise and a
renowned person. (Also see Prostration)

feeling safe, mixing with people of knowledge, associating with people of
religious ranks, joining the company of knowledge seekers, and developing
sincere love for the family of God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, serving and
loving those who love his progeny. Visiting the Prophet’s Mosque in a dream also
means love, knowledge and guidance. Visiting Al-Aqsa Sacred Mosque in
Jerusalem in a dream means blessings, understanding the inner meaning of
important spiritual subjects and miraculous events, or reflecting upon the
Nocturnal Journey of God’s Messenger (uwbp), the night in which the eight
heavens were decorated to receive and honor him when he was called upon to
come before God Almighty. Visiting the grave of God’s Prophet Abraham, upon
whom be peace, in a dream means obedience to one’s parents, being true to them,
seeking their love, blessings and pleasure with sincerity and trueness with one’s
words and actions. Visiting holy sites in a dream also means seeking knowledge
and wisdom, having love for charitable people, associating with good people,
seeking to learn one’s religion at the hand of a pious teacher, to receive blessings
and benefits in this life and in the next. (Also see Muhammad, upon whom be
