Masjid
(arb. God’s House; Mosque; Place of worship) In Arabic, the word masjid
means a place of prostration, while the word Jami means a place of gathering.
A masjid or a mosque in a dream represents a scholar and its gates represent
men of knowledge and the guardians, or the attendants of God’s House. Building
a masjid in a dream means emulating the traditions of God’s Prophet, upon
whom be peace, fostering the unity of one’s family, or becoming a judge, should
one qualify for such an office. A masjid filled with people in a dream represents
a gnostic, a man of knowledge and wisdom, or a preacher who invites people
to his house, advises them, brings their hearts together, teaches them the
precepts of their religion and explains the wisdom behind the divine revelations.
Seeing a masjid being demolished in a dream means that such a gnostic, or
religious scholar and devout believer will die in that locality. In a dream, if the
roof of a masjid caves in, it means that one will indulge in an abominable action.
If one sees a stranger performing his prayers in a masjid in a dream, it means
that the Imam of that masjid will dies from a terminal illness. If one enters a
masjid in the company of a group of people, and if they dig a small hole for him
inside the masjid in the dream, it means that he will get married. If one’s house
becomes a masjid in a dream, it means that he will attain piety, purity of heart,
escetic detachment and an honor he will receive from his brethren. He will also
call upon them to follow what is true and to abstain from what is false. If a masjid
is transformed into a bathhouse in a dream, it means that a chaste person will
turn corrupt or become heedless. A masjid in a dream also represents a
marketplace or a business. If one has to climb up a staircase to reach the masjid
in a dream, then the masjid represents a thrifty person who does not like to
share what he has. If one has to climb down a staircase to reach the masjid in
a dream, it means that his needs will be satisfied. If a masjid in the city is moved
to a remote village in a dream, it means stagnation of one’s business, being
ostracized from one’s community, or it could mean legal complications related
to one’s inheritance. If a ruler builds a house for God Almighty or a masjid in
a dream, it means that he will be a just ruler and he will govern his subject by
the divine laws. If a religious scholar builds a masjid in a dream, it means that
he will author a book that will benefit others, or delivers a commentary on a
complex religious issue, or if he is wealthy, it means that he will pay the alms
tax due on his assets. Building a masjid in a dream also means getting married,
or conceiving a child who will grow to become a righteous and a knowledgeable
scholar, or if one is poor, it means that he will become rich. Otherwise, it means
that one will serve God’s House and fill it with invocations, supplications,
serving the interest of the community, leading the people to unity and love, and
teaching them to value obedience to God’s commands. Building a masjid in a
dream also could mean becoming a real estate agent, or repenting from one’s
sins, or receiving guidance on God’s path, or to die as a martyr, hence, what one
builds for God Almighty in a dream, represents his house in paradise. Such
interpretation applies if one builds a masjid following the proper procedures
and with lawfully earned money, and using proper materials. Otherwise,
building it with what is unlawful of money or materials in the dream, or
changing the direction of the prayer niche, etcetera, then one’s dream will carry
the opposite meaning. If one builds a masjid or a fellowship house in a dream,
it means that he will seek the path of knowledge and wisdom, or that he will
attend a pilgrimage during that same year, or establish a permanent business,
such as a hotel, a bathhouse or a shop, etcetera. Building the roof of a masjid
in a dream means taking care of orphans, or sponsoring homeless children.
Expanding a masjid in a dream means increase in one’s good deeds, repentance
from a sin, adopting good conduct, or being just. Seeing oneself inside a new
masjid one does not recognize in a dream means attending the pilgrimage to
God’s House in Mecca during that same year, or joining religious circles to learn
about one’s religion. If one’s shop becomes a masjid, or if the masjid becomes a
shop in the dream, it denotes lawful earnings, or it could mean mixing lawful
and unlawful earnings. A forsaken masjid or mosque in a dream means
intentionally ignoring the value of gnostics and religious scholars, or denying
the necessity to command what is good and to eschew what is evil. A forsaken
masjid in a dream also denotes the presence of ascetics who have renounced the
world and its people and care less about their material possessions. A known
mosque in a dream represents the city where it is erected. For instance, the Aqsa
mosque in a dream represents Jerusalem, the Sacred mosque represents Mecca,
the Prophet’s Mosque (uwbp) represents Medina, the Omayyad mosque represents
Damascus, Al-Azhar mosque represents Cairo and the Blue mosque represents
Istanbul, etcetera. A known mosque in a dream also could represent the
renowned scholars who live in that place, or the ruler of that country, or any
of his ministers. If one enters a mosque and immediately after crossing the
entrance gate, he prostrates himself to God Almighty in the dream, it means
that he will be given the opportunity to repent for his sins. If one comes to a
masjid and finds its doors locked, then if someone opens the door to him in a
dream, it means that he will help someone in paying his debt, then extol his good
virtues in public. If one enters a mosque riding on an animal in a dream, it means
that he will cut off his connection with his relatives, leave them behind and
forbid them to follow him. If one dies in a masjid in a dream, it means that he
will die as a true penitent. If the carpet or the straw mat of a mosque becomes
a shredded rag in the dream, it means that the community of that masjid is
divided and corrupt. Building a masjid in a dream also means overcoming one’s
enemy. Entering the Sacred Mosque in Mecca in a dream means arriving with
one’s bride to their new home and it could mean fulfillment of a promise, being
truthful, dispelling one’s fear and reaching the shore of safety. (Also see Minaret;
Minbar; Mosque)

(Chaste; Girl; Unmarried) Seeing a virgin woman in a dream means

means comfort and success. (Also see Bride)
Interpreted by Ibn Sirin
Garden
(Flower garden) A garden in a dream means repentance, and repentance
from sin in a dream means a garden. Watering one’s garden in a dream means
having marital relations. If one sees his garden dry in a dream, it means that
his wife has commenced her menstrual period during which he is not permitted
to have sexual intercourse with her. If he sees someone else watering his garden
in a dream, it means that such a person will betray him with his wife. If one sees
himself entering an unknown garden with its trees unattended and its pasture
unkempt in a dream, it means distress and worries. A garden in a dream also
represents a woman. They both need water and they both bear fruits or children.
In this case, if the garden is interpreted to represent a woman, then its trees and
fruits represent her tribe, family and children. An unknown garden in a dream
also represents the Holy Quran. A garden in a dream also represents a
marketplace, a new bride’s house, a property, an animal domesticated for
service, a shop, a business, a tavern, a bathhouse, generosity, an army made of
slaves, cattle or personal assets. If one sees himself inside a garden in a dream,
it means comfort and growth in his life. If the house to which this garden belongs
is God’s house, then the man seeing it is in paradise. If he is sick, it means that
he will die from his illness and enter that paradise. If the garden is unknown
in the dream, it means martyrdom and particularly if he finds inside the garden
a woman calling him to herself, or to drink milk or honey from the garden’s rivers
and the same is true if the garden does not look like the ones he is accustomed
to see in the world. Otherwise, If one sees himself looking at a garden, and if he
is unmarried, it means that he will meet a suitable woman and get married. If
he is married, it means that he will receive joy from his wife equal to that which
he received from the garden in his dream. If one finds within such a garden a
group of associates or colleagues, the garden then represents a marketplace. If
one sees a servant or a worker of his urinating inside a well or a stream inside
such a garden in the dream, it means that a relative will betray the interests
of the family. A garden whose owner is known in a dream represents a mosque,
a park, people of knowledge, ignorant people, the generous ones or the stingy
ones. It also represents a meeting place where the rich and the poor, the
righteous and the insolent gather. A garden in a dream also may indicate a
religious center, a school, a center for scientific research and studies, a place of
worship, etcetera. If one enters a garden at the season of plucking its fruits in
a dream, it means glad tidings, money and increase in one’s good deeds,
marriage or children. On the other hand, if he enters a garden in the fall in a
dream, it means defamation, indebtedness, divorce, or it could mean loss of a
child. Seeing a deceased person in a garden means that he is in paradise. A
garden in a dream also represents a source of nourishment. Its fruits are colorful
and their taste ranges from sweet to salty and from sour to bitter. (Also see House
garden; Quran)

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

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

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

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

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