Cemetery
(Burial ground; Grave; Graveyard) Seeing a cemetery or a graveyard
in a dream means appeasement and comfort for a terrified person, and dismay
to a comfortable and a relaxed person. A graveyard represents the elements of
fear, hope and return to guidance after heedlessness. A cemetery represents the
hereafter, because it is its vehicle. A cemetery in a dream also represents the
prison of the body, but in a dream, it also means seclusion, devotion, abstinence,
asceticism or admonition. A cemetery also can be interpreted as the dead looking
drunkard in a bar, a man laying flat in a prostitution house, the home of a
heedless person who often sleeps rather than pray or a hypocrite whose deeds
are not subject to receiving a heavenly reward, etcetera. If a sick person walks
into a funeral procession in a dream, it means that his illness will culminate in
his death. If he is not sick and then during that procession he weeps or prays
for the deceased person in the dream, it means that he will repent of his sins,
join spiritual study circles and serves the people of knowledge. Such a person
also may attain a blessed spiritual station and benefit from what he hears and
sees. If one sees himself walking in a funeral procession and neglecting respect
and contemplation, and instead laughs and jokes, it means that he will befriend
evildoers and accept their evil conduct as a standard norm of behavior. If one
sees himself visiting a graveyard for seclusion, self-awakening and self-re¬
straint, then if he reflects about words of truth, wisdom and repentance in his
dream, it means that he will be asked to judge between two people, and that he
will rule with justice. If one does not contemplate thus in the dream, it means
that he will forget about something important or dear to his heart. If one enters
the graveyard calling to prayers in a dream, it means that he will admonish
people, commands what is good and forbids what is evil. If one sees himself
entering a graveyard and walking over the scattered bones of the dead people
in a dream, it means that he will die and be buried there. A cemetery in a dream
also represents admonition, reading the Quran, crying, reminiscence, piety,
surrender to one’s destiny and discarding worldly gains. A cemetery in a dream
also may represent the scholars, ascetics, governors, leaders, camps or a brothel.
The graves of saints or shrines in a dream signify innovation, heedlessness,
intoxication, adultery, corruption and fear. A stone tomb or a sarcophagus in a
dream signifies profits, war prisoners, a booty or exposing one’s personal
secrets. (Also see Burial; Grave; Shrine)

Padlock
A padlock in a dream represents an employee who is treated roughly and
unfavorably. A padlock made from wood in a dream represents deceit and
hypocrisy. Locking one’s door securely in a dream means managing and controlling
one’s business in accordance with the divine laws. If one’s door does not have
a lock in a dream, it means that one has no control over which way his life goes,
and that he cares little about its consequences. Attempting to lock one’s door,
but to no avail in a dream means one’s failure to complete an important project.
Breaking a lock and entering a house in a dream represents a conqueror or
benefits that will come through such a person. A padlock in a dream also
represents a bolt, a door latch, one’s son, a handicapped wife, taking shelter
away from one’s enemy, a hidden treasure, or a burial ground. A padlock in a
dream also may denotes sorcery, concealing secrets, or hindrances obstructing
one’s travel plans. Putting a padlock on one’s door in a dream means prosperity
after suffering from poverty, or receiving honors after being humiliated. A
padlock in a dream also could represent a bastard son, or a foundling. (Also see
Close; Lock)
