Chest
(Bosom; Heart) If one has a broad and a nice looking chest in a dream, it
means repentance of a sinner or being eager and willing to follow the truth and to comply with it, or it could mean making it easy to accept things that were
difficult to absorb. If a woman sees her beloved inside her chest in a dream, it
means that she is suffering because of him or complaining about him, or if she
is ill, it means that she will recover from her illness. To have a broad chest in
a dream also means giving preference to others' needs. One's chest in a dream
also represents what one may conceal in it of knowledge, guidance, heedlessness
or it could represent a coffer where one hides his money. One's chest in a dream
also represents a guest, one's wife, a rank, a position, magnanimity or generosity. The narrowness of one's chest in a dream represents heedlessness, or it
could mean going astray, loss of money, or one's stinginess. If one sees his chest
turned into a stone in a dream, it means that he is a hard hearted person.
However, a broad chest in a dream also could signify being unjust. The chest in
a dream also represents the house of worries and anxieties. Having chest pain
in a dream denotes a sin one is being punished for, or it could mean being a
spendthrift or generous in other than God's pleasure, and the pain in the dream
represents his punishment for it. If a man sees himself having a woman's breasts
in his dream, it means that he will get married, or fall in love with a woman,
or have a secret affair that will turn into a scandal. (Also see Body 1; Case)

the shoulders of his enemy, it means that he will commit a wrongdoing or a
shameful act. If there is no enmity between them, and if he sees himself riding
over the shoulders of a friend in a dream, it means earning something from him.
Carrying something over one's shoulders in a dream means debts. If one sees

Longhands in a dream represent a charitable person, or a capable one, and short

means that such a person does little good in his life. If one enters his hand under
his arm's pit in a dream, then brings it out bright and radiant in a dream, it
means that he will acquire knowledge and may develop wisdom. Otherwise, it
could mean profits. If he brings forth his hand from under his arm's pit in the
dream, and if it reveal a flame in his dream, it represents a manifestation of
divine power and a blessed victory. If one pulls his hand from under his arm's
pit and it brings forth water in the dream, it means that he will receive great
benefits and growth in his life, or perhaps that a long awaited traveller will
shortly arrive to his doorsteps. If a right-handed person sees himself being left-
handed in a dream, it means hardships. If one sees himself walking with his
hands in a dream, it represents his dependence on a relative to provide for his

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

that is a brother, a sister, a partner, a son, a compassionate friend, one's
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
the pre-dawn prayer, the index represents the midday prayer, the middle finger
represents the mid-afternoon prayer, the ring finger represents the sunset
prayer, and the little finger represents the evening prayer. As for the fingers of
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-
forwardness. Any defect or crookedness in them in a dream will mirror in
wakefulness. If a toe or a finger is bitten or crushed in a dream, it denotes evil
or perhaps an accident. If one sees milk coming forth from his thumb and blood
coming forth from his index finger in a dream, it means that he will marry a
mother, then will he marry her daughter, or it could mean that he will rape the
mother, then her daughter. Cracking one's fingers in a dream means exchanging

If one's fingers are paralyzed in a dream, it means that he has committed an

toward a weak person or inflicting losses upon an innocent person. If one's left
hand is paralyzed in a dream, it means the death of his brother or sister. As for
the fingernails in a dream, they denote beauty, courage, strength, a religious
covenant, or money. If one's fingernails are chipped, extracted, or broken in a
dream, they means loss of money and strength. If they look nicely clipped in a

of a near breaking in a dream mean distress, sorrow, fears and depression. If
one's nail becomes a claw in a dream, it means rising against one's enemy and
opposition. If one does not have fingernails in a dream, it means bankruptcy.
If one's fingernails turn yellow, green or blue or if they are broken in the dream,

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.
Removing a liver in a dream also could mean injustice. One's kidney in a dream

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,

his sins. If he carries merchandise in the dream, it means debt. If he carries
woods in the dream, it means backbiting others. If one sees himself carrying a
dead person on his back in a dream, it means that he takes care of orphans. As
for one's heart (See Heart) in a dream, it means intelligence, vigilance, aware-
ness, guidance, clarity and piety. One's buttocks and the rear end in a dream
represent his earnings, job and profits. If one sees himself licking someone's rear
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
longevity. If they turn into glass in the dream, they denote his short life. The

without accumulation of ashes in a dream means a bad marriage. Dream
interpretation of ovens varies sometimes depending on the type of oven one sees

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.

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

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

sign, or a major event will take place in such a locality. If one sees him (uwbp)

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)

experienced master. If one sees himself roasting or grilling meat in a dream, it
means that he may become a tax collector, a physician, a jailer, a torturer, a
thief, or a murderer. Seeing someone roasting meat on fire in a dream may

uncooked in the dream, it means a headache and stress caused by one’s son.
Roasting a whole sheep in a dream means money. Eating the meat of a roasted

is touched by fire in a dream means profits. If one sees a roasted leg of sheep
talking to him in a dream, it means that he will escape from an accident, a
danger, or gain a strong foothold, or become well established in this world. A
broiled rib in a dream represents a woman, for Eve was created from Adam’s rib.
The chest represents plants and servants. The belly represents the children. A
roasted leg in a dream represents woman’s earnings that her husband regularly
swindles from her. If it is uncooked, then it means slander or backbiting. Eating

Sun
(King; The Fourth heaven; Planet) In a dream, the sun represents a great
king, the vice-regent, a father, a prince, a commander, gold, or a beautiful
woman. If one sees himself turned into a sun in a dream, it means that he may
receive a dominion that will stretch as far as the radiance one sees in his dream.
If one sees himself holding the sun in a dream, it means that he will gain
strength and wealth that will come about through someone in the government.
If one receives the sun hanging as a necklace in a dream, it means that he will
win a seat in the senate. If he goes near the sun or sits inside it in a dream, it
means that he will acquire power, wealth and support. Should he qualify, the
stretch of his power will extend between the two horizons he sees in his dream,
or it may mean that he will acquire a knowledge coupled with fame. If one sees
that he owns the sun in a dream, it means that his words will be respected and
listened to by someone in authority. If someone in authority sees the sun looking
clear and brilliant in the dream, it means that his authority will grow, or that
he will assist someone in leadership. Otherwise, it means that he will live
happily and acquire lawful wealth. If a woman sees such a dream, it means that
she will enjoy her marriage and receive what pleases her from her husband. If
the sun rises inside one’s house in a dream, it means that he will receive an
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
inside one’s house and lights the entire house in the dream, it means that he will
receive honor, dignity, rank and fame. If a woman sees the sun rising inside her
house in a dream, it means that she will marry a wealthy person, and that her
horizon will expand. The radiance of the sun in a dream means reverence, might
and justice of the ruler of that land. If one sees the sun talking to him in a dream,
it means that he will be honored and commended by the governor. If one sees
the sun or the moon talking to him, and if he then strolls away with them in the
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
and for one night only. Should such a person divorce her the next morning, it
means that she may become a prostitute. If the sun rises from one’s open belly
in a dream, it means his death. If one sees the sun setting and himself walking
behind it, it also means death. If one sees himself walking behind the sun in a
dream, it means that he will be captured and imprisoned. If one sees the sun
turned into an old man in a dream, it means that the governor will become a
pious and God-fearing person. Otherwise, if the sun turns into a young man in
the dream, it represents his weakness. If one sees blazes of fire straying away
from the sun in a dream, it means the impeachment of some members of the
governor’s cabinet or someone from his counsel. If one sees the sun turned red
in a dream, it means corruption. If it turns yellow in the dream, it means an
illness. If it turns black in the dream, it means losses. If one seeks the sun after
it sets in a dream, it means that whatever is destined for him whether it be good
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
over the earth in the dream, it means the death of one’s father. Gazing at the
sun in a dream means gaining authority and dominion, or presiding over the
people of one’s locality. If a traveller sees the sun too bright in a dream, it means
that he will return home safely. If one sees the sun rising from the East and
setting in the West with a clear brightness in a dream, it means blessings for
that land. If one swallows the sun in a dream, it means distress, sorrow or death.
If the sun rises from the West, then it means defamation, exposing the ills of the
person seeing it, or divulging a secret. The rising of the sun from the West also
means recovering from an illness, and for a businessman, it means profits from
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
