Buyer
A buyer in a dream represents someone under obligation; emergency; or
need to acquire something. Buying something, then selling it in a dream means
needing people’s help. In a dream, a buyer also could represent a demanding
situation that may push someone to use tricks and to deceive others. (Also see
Seller)

Sieve
(Bolter; Colander; Filter; Separate; Sift; Sort; Strainer) In a dream, a sieve
represents knowledge, discerning, honor, rank and discriminating between
truth and false. A sieve in a dream is like a detector of true banknotes from
counterfeit, a person who chooses his words, a choosy person of the type of work
he does, or a discriminating buyer, a pious person, or it could represent a comb.
If a sieve is given as a collateral, or as a promissory note in a dream, it means
that the depositor will flunk his promise, for a sieve does not retain water. (Also
see Bolter; Strainer)

Slave
(Bondman; Servant; Submission) If a free man sees himself as a slave, and
if he recognizes the person who enslaved him in the dream, it means that he will
serve such a person, or perhaps he may blackmail him. Becoming a slave in a
dream also means excessive borrowing of money until one becomes a slave to his
lenders, or that the compounded interest of his loans weigh heavy on his family,
or it could mean reorganization of one’s business, or that he may work for his
lender to repay his debts, or it could mean that he may develop heart problems,
or any debilitating illness. If one is sold as a slave in a dream, it means that he
will regain honor and dignity, or perhaps fall in a trap, for selling a free person
in a dream means humiliating him. Selling a human being in a dream also
connotes a good end, such as that in the story of God’s prophet Joseph, upon
whom be peace. If a bondman sees himself free in a dream, it means that he will
experience ease after he was subjugated to difficulties and hardships, or it could
mean paying his debts, recovering from an illness, attaining one’s goals, or
perhaps he may become a true servant of God Almighty, who commands good
and forbids evil, establishes regular prayers, pays his charities and fears
wrongdoing. Being a slave in a dream also means distress. Being sold in a dream
also means worries, unless if the buyer is a woman, then it means that he will
be honored and well treated. His value and comfort then will depend on the price
he is sold for in the dream. If an unmarried woman is sold as a slave in a dream,
it means that she will marry the one who bought her. If a man sells his wife in
a dream, it means that he will divorce her. If one is captured and turned into
a slave by his enemy in a dream, it means that he will learn something about
humiliation and submissiveness.

Underground granary
(Granary; Pantry; Storrage room; Subterranean storehouse)
An underground grain storage house in a dream represents a caring mother, a
single parent or a foster mother. This interpretation comes from the example
of a fetus in his mother’s womb and its dependence on her to supply the
necessary nourishment. Once the stored food is consumed, then it is necessary
to depend on a new source. If one sees an underground granary demolished or
filled with dirt in the dream, and if his mother is sick, it means that she may
die from her illness. If one’s wife is pregnant, it means that she will soon deliver
her infant. A demolished underground granary in a dream means finding a
buyer for one’s grains, and the dirt that fills the storehouse in the dream
represents money. If the stored grain turns into dirt in a dream,
it means that market prices will come down, or it could mean the loss of one’s investment.
Seeing a granary filled with food in a dream means that one’s wife is pregnant.
If a fire consumes the stored grain in a dream, it means rising prices. If one sees
a granary filled with sugar or dates in a dream, it means that prices will stabilize
and become attainable, while the type of food stored therein will be in limited
supplies and consequently, its price will rise. If a sick person falls into an
underground granary in a dream, it means his death, or drowning in the sea,
or facing a highway robbery. As for one who is engaged in a fight, an underground
granary in his dream represents a prison or a visit to a brothel.

Sale
If one sees himself as a prisoner being sold in a slave market in a dream, it
means honor if the buyer is a woman, and difficulties if the buyer is a man. The
higher the price he is auctioned for, the better or worse is his luck. In a dream,
the more loss the buyer incurs, the better it is for the traded subject and vice-
versa. There is also a difference between seeing oneself being auctioned and
being sold. Being auctioned in a dream means evil. To sell means to part with.
In a dream, the buyer is the seller and the seller is a buyer. Selling means giving
preference and value to the merchandise. If what is being sold is worldly, the
preference is then given to one’s benefits in the hereafter. Selling in a dream also
means exchanging one condition with another. However, bartering in a dream
means to exchange the benefit of things, or to share them. If for example one sees
himself in a dream trading something of no value for something precious, and
if he is a warrior, it means that he will die as a martyr. Selling a free man in
a dream means rotation of power and reaching a praiseworthy end. As it
happened in the story of Joseph son of Jacob, upon both of them be peace. (See
