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
generosity. A close fist in a dream means stinginess. A nice looking palm of one’s

Balance
(Scale) A balance and a scale in a dream have similar interpretations.
Both represent faith, justice and righteousness in words and actions. In a
dream, a balance also may represent a wife, or it could mean payment of one's
debts. A steelyard in a dream represents an architect or a builder. A miller's
scale in a dream represents a man who considers himself worthy of respect,
while his actions, earnings and moves are contemptible. A precision scale in a
dream represents a warning against heedlessness and concern for proper
accounting for one's actions. The justice scale represents a judge. If it stands
balanced in one's dream, then it means that the judge of that locality is a just
and a learned person. In a dream, the scales of a balance represents the judge's
ears. The money put on a scale for measuring represents the lawsuits, and the
weights represent the judgment. If one sees himself standing before God
Almighty on Judgment Day and if his good deeds weigh heavier than his sins
in the dream, it means that he will reckon himself, reflect about his bad actions
and correct the course of his life. Consequently, his reward in the hereafter will
be greater. Seeing the Balance of the Day of Judgement in a dream means
vulnerability of people's secrets, exposing one's actions in public, recognition of
the ultimate truth, joy, happiness, victory and justice. If one's deeds are
praiseworthy, then he will be a winner. Ifone's deeds are blameworthy, then he
will be a loser. In general, a balance in a dream represents a guide, an example
to follow, a scholar one seeks to learn at his hand, a ruler, a criterion and the
Qur'fm. It also may represent one's tongue and correctness, truthfulness, lies,
incredulity or trustworthiness. (Also see Measure 2; Measurer; Scale)

Satan
Seeing the accursed one in a dream means evil, sin, lying, stealing,
jealousy, sorcery, separation between husband and wife, disdain from performing
one’s prayers, or it could mean preaching falsehood. Seeing the accursed one in
a dream also means propagation of an invented world or ideas. If in a dream one
becomes Satan, it is interpreted as loosing one’s sight. If one kills Satan in a
dream, it means that he will deceive and conquer a deceiver and an evil person.
In a dream, the accursed Satan also represents an enemy of the body and the
soul. He deceives, cheats, disbelieves, as well as he is ungrateful, jealous,
capricious, arrogant, heedless, impetuous, or he could represent a leader, a
minister, a judge, a policeman, a man of knowledge, a preacher, a hypocrite, or
one’s own family and children. Seeing Satan in a dream also means villainy, dirt,
passion and sexual devilry. If one sees Satan attacking him in a dream, it means
that he earns his money from usury. If Satan touches him in a dream, it means
that someone is slandering or trying to deceive his wife. If one is sick or under
stress, and if he sees Satan touching him in a dream, it means that he will put
his hand on material wealth. If one is suffering from the consequences of devilry
while he recognizes his trials and remains steadfast in remembering God
Almighty and calling upon Him for help in a dream, it means that he has many
enemies tryingto deceive him or to destroy him, though they will eventually fail,
and in turn, they will be defeated by God’s leave. If one sees Satan following him
in a dream, it means that an enemy is pursuing him to deceive him, and
consequently one will lose his status, rank and the benefits of his knowledge.
If one sees himself inwardly talking with Satan in a dream, it means that he will
join hands with his own enemy, and his strike will be against the righteous
people, though he will ultimately fail. If one sees Satan teaching him something
in a dream, it means that he will fabricate a story, speak falsehood, or recite
poems filled with lies. If one sees that Satan has descended upon him in a dream,
it means that he engages in falsehood and sin. If one sees himself presiding over
a band of satans, controlling them, commanding them, and if they obey him in
the dream, it means that he will receive a seat of honor and he will be feared
by his friend and foes. If one ties Satan with chains in a dream, it means that
he will win victory in his life together with might and fame. If one sees himself
deceived by a group of satans in a dream, it means that he will suffer financial
losses or lose his job. If Satan strips someone from his clothing in a dream, it
means that the latter will lose a battle to an enemy. If one sees Satan whispering
something in his ear in dream, it means that he will be dismissed from his job.
If one sees himself defying and fighting Satan in a dream, it means that he is
a true and a strong believer who obeys his Lord and who holds fast to his
religious obligations. If Satan frightens him in a dream, it means that the latter
is a sincere deputy and a protege of God Almighty, and that God will safeguard
him from any fear of the accursed Satan or his army. If one sees a meteor or a
flame shooting at Satan in the skies in a dream, it means that there is an enemy
of God Almighty in that locality. If that person is a ruler, then his secrets will
be exposed, and if he is ajudge, it means that a just punishment will befall him
for his injustice. If one sees Satan happy in a dream, it means that he engages
in sensuality, passion and loathsome actions. In general, Satan is a weak enemy,
if one sees himself fighting him with resoluteness in a dream, it shows that he
is a religious and a pious person. If Satan swallows someone or penetrates inside
his body in dream, it means a fright, losses and sufferings. Satan in a dream also
represents builders or ocean divers who work as spies. Seeing them in a dream
also could mean backbiting or slandering. If one sees himself as a Satan in a
dream, it means that he constantly frowns with people and that he is quick to
harm them, or that he may work at cleaning sewers, or perhaps he may perish
in a fire, or die as a heedless person.

Building
The element of a good building in a dream represents love, affection,
unity, progeny, prosperity, a garment of honor, and girls in one’s family. A
strong edifice means strength and firmness. It also means support, help and a
long life. Raising a new edifice in a dream represents either personal or
collective material benefits in this world. If one sees himself building an edifice
in a dream, it means having intercourse with his spouse. If one builds a church,
it defines him as Christian. If he builds a mosque, it defines him as Muslim. If
a man of knowledge sees himself building a mosque as an offering to please God
Almighty in a dream, it means that he will compile a study from which others
will benefit or that people will seek his advice in religious matters or inter¬
pretations. If a king, or a ruler sees himself building a mosque as an offering for
God’s pleasure in a dream, it means that he will rule his subjects with justice,
command what is lawful and forbid what is unlawful. If he builds a school, it
shows him to be a man of knowledge. If he builds a hospice in a dream, it means
that he is an ascetic. If a sick person sees himself building a house in a dream,
it means that he will recover from his illness and enjoy good health. Seeing
buildings in a dream explains one’s determination, it also means one’s wants for
himself when he rejoices at finding something suitable for status. If one sees his
house bigger than it is in reality in a dream, it means expansion in one’s material
resources. If it grows beyond the normal norms in a dream, it means anxiety,
or a delegation that hastens to enter that house without permission, announcing
a calamity, or it could mean that a wedding will take place in that house.
Building a house in a dream also means extending one’s connections, strengthening
one’s relationship with his kin, friends, or if the person in question is a general
in the army, or a leader, then it means building a strong army. Building a house
in a dream also means regaining power, rejoicing or success in one’s business,
all of which are relative to the thickness of its walls. On the other hand,
demolishing one’s house in a dream means disagreement, disintegration or
separation of one’s family, relatives, friends, associates or dissolution of one’s
army. If one sees himself working for some people to renovate an old building
in a dream, it means correcting the norms of conduct in that community or
reviving old traditions. For example if one sees himself reconstructing the house
of Pharaoh in a dream, it means that he is reviving or reestablishing Pharaoh’s
system of government, or adopting its principals. Erecting a foundation for a
building, then completing its structure in a dream means seeking knowledge,
wisdom or leadership. Building a house in a different county, town or locality
in a dream means a marriage with a woman from that neighborhood. Building
an edifice from ceramic in a dream means decorating oneself. If the building is
from clay in the dream, it means lawful earnings. If one engraves pictures or
forms thereon in the dream, it means acquiring knowledge, learning a new craft,
a leading position in the government which involves partying, alcohol and
mingling with what is unlawful. Building an edifice from plaster or backed
bricks encrusted with pictures or forms in a dream means engaging in an
unlawful or a deceitful act. Building a house in a dream and strengthening its
walls, means to complete the father’s traditions, and to continue working in his
trade. (Also see Builder)
