Bridge of the Day of Judgement
( arb. Sirat) This is the bridge people have to walk
on after the Day of Resurrection to meet their Lord on the Day of Judgement.
The ease of crossing it depends on the weight of deeds one is carrying. Some cross
like lightening, while others have to carry their burdens and move at varying
paste. Walking on it in a dream means a journey. If the bridge caves under one’s
feet in the dream, it means destruction and death. Seeing this bridge in a dream
also represents knowledge, truth, believing in God’s oneness and following the
teachings and example of God’s Messenger upon whom be peace. If one’s foot
slips while crossing in the dream, it means that he will miss the true path. If
one sees himself walking the path in a dream, it means that he is on the right
track, follows what is commanded and abstains from what is forbidden. It also
means that one will undergo awesome changes, undertakes major responsibili¬
ties and succeeds to reach safety. If one’s foot slips in a dream, it also means that

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.

helpers, borrowing money, governing, fulfilling one's commands, profits from
one's business or having business sense. If one's hand is cut off in a dream, it

assistant. If the right hand is cut off in a dream, it means a vow one takes to

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
needs. If one's hands say something nice to him in a dream, it means financial comfort. If one's hand is cut-off in a dream as punishment for a sin, it could mean
marriage, a bad wife, or lack of trustworthiness. If one washes his hands with
soap in a dream, it means that he will abandon something he initiated, or that
his intention will not be fulfilled. If a form of life or a good spirit comes out from
one's hands in a dream, it indicates benefits. If such a life is a malignant one,
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
repercussions in wakefulness. Hands in a dream are interpreted in twelve ways:
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
bad words between relatives or being sarcastic or making fun of other people.
If one's fingers are paralyzed in a dream, it means that he has committed an
awful sin. If one sees his right hand paralyzed in a dream, it means injustice
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.

his daughter. Man's breast in a dream means a woman, and woman's breasts
in a dream represents a man. Breasts in a dream mean five things: a little boy,
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
means having a good business connection, dispelling adversities, distress,

As for seeing one's intestines in a dream, they represent earnings, leadership,
a child, unlawful money, intercession, hatred, livelihood, work or they could
mean changing one's mind about doing something which could cause a disaster.
One's stomach in a dream represents longevity, livelihood or children. A

interpretation is given to the intestines or the umbilicus or the navel and the
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

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

(Angel of death; Bone-breaker; Eagle) In a dream, an osprey represents a
powerful and a mighty warrior, and a merciless man whom no one trusts. If one
sees an osprey over his roof, or inside his house, or standing over his head in a
dream, it represents the angel of death. Catching an osprey in a dream means
frequenting a ruler and remaining constantly wary of him whether one obeys him,
or opposes him in opinion. If an osprey scratches someone with his claws in a
dream, it means depression and financial losses. Eating the flesh of an osprey in

a ruler about whom people speak very scarcely, but who is the direct cause of the
falling of many neighboring rulers. Seeing an osprey in a tree means profits,
favors and blessings. A flying osprey in a dream means victory in one’s life. An
osprey standing on top of a mountain or a rock, or on a cliff in a dream means
success for the one who is starting a new job or a new business. However, it also
could mean bad news if one is afraid of something, or if he is travelling. As for rich
and noble people, riding an osprey in a dream means death, while for poor people
it means profits and success that will benefit their families and neighbors. An

Ride
(Animal; Carrier; Mount; Vehicle) A vehicle in a dream represents care,
concern, attaining one’s purpose, or it could mean reaching one’s destination
through striving and hard work. To ride an animal in a dream means following
one’s desires and passions. However, to be carried by any animal, or by any type
of vehicle in a dream is a sign of honor and authority. Riding a horse one cannot
control in a dream means following one’s passions and wantonness. If one is able
to adequately tame his horse and control it in the dream, it means that he will
be saved from adversities. Riding an elaborately dressed horse for a parade,
being surrounded by servants and an entourage in the dream means receiving
an inheritance, or it could mean becoming the guardian of an estate one will
inherit in a short while. Riding over the shoulder of another man and forcing
him to accept it in a dream represents one’s funeral, and it means that the other
person will have no choice but to carry the coffin. If the person carrying him in
the dream is willingly doing so, then it means that he will care for his needs and
bear his encumbrance. Riding over someone’s shoulders in a dream also means
facing an major adversity. Should he meanwhile fall down in the dream, it
means that such a trial will not take place. If one sees himself riding over
someone’s shoulder backward in a dream, it means that he does not accept any
advice or excuse, or it may mean that he turns to the other side if he is asked
for help, or it may mean that he engages in the forbidden sexual intercourse
during women’s menstrual period, or that he engages in sodomy. To see a
horseman leading a procession or a caravan of travellers in a dream means
taking a distant journey, or it could represent business activities, or recovering
from an illness.

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

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;

means a thief or a servant. A cat in a dream also represents an evil and a
treacherous woman. The same interpretation is given for anyone who compasses
people, or guards them, or someone who harms the interests of his employer
more than he benefits him. If a tomcat scratches someone or bites him in a
dream, it means that he will fall sick for a full year. The bite of a wildcat in a
dream is more dangerous and has greater implications. If one sees a tomcat
sitting peacefully and quietly in his house in a dream, it means that he will have
a comfortable, peaceful and a profitable year. Otherwise, a large wildcat in the
dream represents a troublesome year. Selling a tomcat in a dream means
spending one’s money in various charities. Eating a cat in a dream means
learning about sorcery. If one sees himself transformed into a tomcat in a dream,
it means that he lives from stealing and seeks what is harmful. A tomcat
entering one’s house in a dream represents a robber. Whatever a tomcat takes
from one’s house in the dream will be looted by such a thief. Killing or beating
a tomcat in a dream means catching a thief or killing him. If one extracts fat from
a cat in a dream, it means that he will receive stolen money or a share thereof.
Fighting with a tomcat in a dream means an affliction with a long and a
debilitating illness that will be followed by a complete recovery. If the tomcat
loses the fight, and if the man is already sick, it means that he will recover from
his illness shortly thereafter. Otherwise, if he loses in the dream, it means that
his illness has reached its peak. A cat or a tomcat in a dream also represent
reckoning, estrangement of one’s wife, her roughness with her husband, or they
could represent ill behaved children with their parents, fights, theft, adultery,
lack of loyalty, eavesdropping, taunting, roaring, clamor, a bastard son, a
foundling or an orphan. On the other hand, a cat in a dream could represent a
toadying person, dancing, being playful and kind, though awaiting to jump at
the first opportunity to spoil others’ peace. If the cat, the tomcat and the mouse,
or the lamb and the wolf become friends in the dream, it means hypocrisy,
affectation and loss of moral standards. A civet cat in a dream represents a man

Crossing an arched bridge that leads to the palace of a ruler in a dream means
receiving money, or it could mean getting married to a noble person. An
unknown bridge in a dream represents the world and particularly if it connects
the city with the cemetery. It also could represent a ship, or the Bridge of the
Day of Judgement, for it is the last hurdle before reaching paradise. If one
crosses an arched bridge in his dream, then it means that he will cross the abode
of this world into the abode of the hereafter and particularly if one meets

Skies
(Castle; Child; Firmament; Heavens; House; Mother; Oath; Ocean; Prison;
Teacher; Town; Wife; Wonders) In a dream, the sky represents itself. Whatever
descends from it or comes from that direction in a dream will materialize. If fire
falls from the sky over people’s homes in a dream, it means plagues, illness,
pleurisy, smallpox, or death and destruction. If fire falls over the marketplace
in the dream, it means higher prices. If it falls over the fields and farmlands in
the dream, it means that the crops could either burn, freeze, or be struck by a
swarm of locusts or by other harmful insects. If what falls from the sky indicates
prosperity, such as honey, oil, figs, barley, or money, etcetera, in the dream, it
means a good rain and a good harvest for that year. Whatever falls from the sky
of good or bad may represent the government and the hardships it inflicts upon
the people, or the benefits it may bring them. Climbing to the sky with a rope,
a ladder, or using a staircase in a dream means exaltation, rising in station, good
luck and support. If one climbs without a common medium in a dream, it means
fear and arrogance. If his intention in climbing is to spy on others in the dream,
it means that he may work as a spy. If one descends safely from the sky in the
dream, it means that he will escape and be spared the consequences of his sin.
If he falls and breaks or fractures a bone or so in the dream, it means that he
may suffer such accident in wakefulness. If a sick person sees himself climbing
to the sky, and if he does not return to earth in the dream, it means that he may
die from his illness. If he comes back in the dream, it means that his illness will
increase and his difficulties will reach their peak, though God willing, he will
recover from his illness, unless he falls into a hole in a dream. In that case the
hole represents his grave. If one sees the sky shooting arrows causing people
wounds, injuries and bleeding in a dream, it means taxes and confiscation of
properties by the government. If the arrows hit people’s ears and eyes only in
the dream, it means that major trials and temptations will strike at everyone.
If the arrows fall without causing harm to anyone, and if people rush to collect
them in the dream, they represent a booty that people will come to win, or a
divine gifts people will enjoy. To rise close to the sky in a dream means nearness
to one’s Lord. This is particularly true for pious people and for true believers.
Nearing the sky in a dream also represents a supplication needing an immediate
answer, and God willing such prayers will be answered. Nearing the sky in a
dream also could mean going before the governor of one’s town, or any person
from whom one may need something, i.e., a teacher, a man of knowledge, a
father, or a wife. If one sees the sky falling over his head in a dream, it means
that the roof of his house may cave in, or that he will die from an illness he
already suffers. If one sees himself climbing and entering the sky in a dream,
it means that he will die as a martyr. If one sees himself standing in the sky in
a dream, it means that he will command or admonish others. If one sees himself
in the sky looking down at something on earth in a dream, it means that he will
rise in station, then he will regret something he missed. If one sees the sky green
in a dream, it means prosperity and a good harvest. If one sees the sky turned
into iron in a dream, it means drought or scarcity of rain. If one falls from the
sky in a dream, it means that he may abandon his faith, become a reprobate,
or that he may be struck with a major calamity that will be driven by an unjust
person. If the iron sky splits open, and if an old man appears from behind it in
the dream, such an old person represents the grandfather of the people of that
town or tribe. Consequently, people will enjoy a good harvest, prosperity and
happiness. If it is a young man that appears in the dream, then he represents
an enemy and an evil that may befall the people following such dream. If a sheep
appears from the sky in a dream, then it means profits. If camels appear, then
they represent rain. If a lion appears in the dream, it represents an unjust ruler.
If the sky becomes one solid piece in the dream, it means drought. If it rips apart
and its doors become wide open in the dream, then it means rain or an answer
to people’s prayers. If one sees himself reaching out and touching the sky in a
dream, it means that he is seeking an important goal, and that he will fail to
attain it. If one sees himself rising near the lower heavens in a dream, it means
worldly gains, or profits and status in either material or spiritual realms. If one
looks toward the sky, whether to the East or to the West in a dream, it means
travels. If one sees himself stealing the sky and hiding it in ajar in a dream, it
means that he may steal a copy of the holy Quran and hides it with his wife.
If one sees the sky wide open in a dream, it means blessings and benefits. If one
sees himself rising toward the sky in a fiat posture in a dream, it means that
he will become emaciated, or suffer losses in his business. On the other hand,
if one sees himself rising without difficulty and without being laid on his back
in a dream, it means exaltation, success and safety from any harm that could
be driven by one’s enemies. If one bites the sky in a dream, it means that a
calamity will strike at him, or it could mean business losses, failure to attain
one’s goals, or an argument with one’s superior at work. If one sees himself
touring the sky then returning to earth in a dream, it means that he may become
an astronomer, or an astrologer and gain fame in his field. If one sees himself
leaning his back to the sky in a dream, it means that he may win a leadership
position, or win victory over his opponents. If one sees himself in the sky having
a form different than that of human beings in a dream, it means that he may
leave this world unblessed. If one sees himself hanging down with a rope from
the sky in a dream, it means that he will govern after someone else’s, or inherit
his post. However, if the rope breaks in the dream, it means that he may lose
such an opportunity. If one sees a lighted candle in the sky which luster and
brightness dims the light of the sun in a dream, it represents a solar eclipse. If
one sees the sky being build in his presence in a dream, it means that he lies
in his testimonies. Falling from the sky in a dream also could be a warning
against falling into sin. Falling from the sky in a dream with one’s head down
means longevity. If one sees himself in the sky but could not remember when
did he enter it in a dream, it means that God willing he is already in paradise.
If one sees radiance, or scintillating rays of light coming through the sky in a
dream, it means guidance. If he sees dark clouds coming through the sky in a
dream, it means that he could stray from God’s path. If he sees a scourge
descending from the sky in a dream, it means that plagues and adversities will
befall the people as a chastisement for their sins, or for crimes they have
committed. As for gnostics and people of knowledge, seeing the sky in a dream
means clarity, vision, placing one’s interests in heavenly matters, or travelling
to distant lands, or engaging in importing and exporting goods. Climbing into
the sky in a dream also means falsehood, false beliefs, lies, or talking about God
Almighty without the proper knowledge or guidance. Climbing into the sky in
a dream also could mean seeking one’s livelihood, satisfying one’s needs, or
fulfilling a promise. Skies in a dream also represent the ocean because of their
vastness and the countless number of creation living therein, or they could
represent the ripening of fruits, or the conclusion of one’s work, or they could
represent one’s helmet, armor, wife, money, religion, death, or they could
indicate slander and falsehood against someone who descends from them after
being raised, and they could mean making peace with one’s enemies, or they
could represent the shares allotted for each one of God’s creation, the good and
the bad, people’s sustenance and that of beasts, gains, losses, blessings or
afflictions. (Also see Ascending in the skies; Celestial spheres; Heavens; Star)

Thus, one’s dream may mean attaining one’s goal as far as he reaches in his

elevation or even climbing a roof means attaining one’s goal or satisfying one’s
needs. To see oneself climbing flat on his back in a dream then means uncalled

marriage, moving from one place into another, or it could mean suffering from
cataract, weakness of one’s vision, or it could denote the vastness of what is to

dawn Fajr prayers in a dream indicates a vow one pledges. Praying the mid¬

backbites and slanders others and who is daring to indulge in sin and disobedience
to his Lord. If one could not find the direction of the Ka‘aba in his dream, it means
that he has doubt about his faith. However, if one sees himself facing the holy
Ka‘aba in the dream, it means that he is walking on the straight path. If one sees
himself wearing a white garb and reading the Quran in the dream, it means that
he will join the caravan of pilgrims to Mecca. God knows best. (Also see Death;
Imam; Pharaoh)

Baker
(Compassionate leader; Honest livelihood; Just ruler; Love; Son) A baker
in the dream represents peacefulness and a lucrative life. One who bakes bread
on top of limestone in a dream represents a happy and a good person who entices
people to work and earn honest income from their own sweat. If he receives
money for his bread in the dream, it means that he has made preaching to others
his main source of income. Seeing oneself as a baker in a dream means becoming
wealthy and prosperous. If one sees himself buying bread from a baker and if
the baker does not look at how much money is tendered in the dream, it means
that the baker is a noble man, and he is capable of doing good deeds without
anticipating a reward. A baker in a dream also represents someone who brings
benefits to others, for they all need him. Receiving a loaf of bread from a baker
in a dream means earning an honest income. If one who is not a baker sees
himself baking bread and selling it to people in a dream, it means that he solicit
customers for a prostitute. The profession of a baker in a dream also involves
talks, disputes and energy. (Also see Bread; Sweets)

Clouds
(Concealment; Gloom; Dream; Life; Rains; Skies; Soldiers; Sufferings;
Vapor; Water) In a dream, clouds represent the course of life which provides
people with rainwater to drink, water to wash their dirt, water for their crops
and sustenance. Clouds in a dream also represent knowledge, understanding,
wisdom, clarity as they show the divine kindness. Clouds in a dream also
represent an army or friends who carry the water and the water represents life
and the original element from which they were created. Clouds in a dream also
represent ships, airplanes, or if they are black or carry stones or bring thunder,
then they represent the antagonistic character of a leader who deprives his
people from their rights or causes them to suffer through restrictive laws or
harsh mandates. If one sees a cloud inside his house or descending upon him in
his room in a dream, it means that he will join the company of believers or
receives an award, or that he is endowed with wisdom, or should he wish for a
child, his wife will conceive one. If he is a merchant, it means that his
merchandise will arrive to its port of destination. If one sees himself riding over
a cloud in a dream, it means exaltation or marriage to a pious woman, or that
one will attend a pilgrimage should it be his wish. Otherwise, should he wish
for it, he will become renowned for his knowledge and wisdom. Should he
qualify, it means that he will lead an army, or that he will rise in rank, or that
he will be sent as an emissary of his government or as an ambassador. If people
are expecting clouds to water their farms, and should one see masses of clear
clouds carrying rains and coming in that direction in the dream, it means a
calamity. If the clouds carry poisonous rains or acid rains or polluted rains, or
if they are driven by heavy winds, or if they carry fires or dust or ashes or rocks
from a volcano, they mean that a calamity will strike that locality, or that they
will receive news about travellers the majority of whom will perish during a trip.
Clouds also mean innovations and man made religions that may spread throughout
the land. If one sees himself merging with the clouds in a dream, it means that
he associates himself with a person in authority or a wise man or a man of
knowledge. If one sees himself eating clouds in his dream, it means that he will
gain lawfully earned money from such a person, or that perhaps he may gain
wisdom. If one sees himself amassing clouds in a dream, it means that he will
learn wisdom at the hand of a close associate. If one sees himself mixing with
the clouds but does not carry anything out of them in a dream, it means that he
will mix with people of knowledge and learn nothing from what they say, or
practice nothing of what they teach. If one sees himself riding over the clouds
in a dream, it means that he may become famous for his wisdom and knowledge.
If one sees his own son turned into a cloud in a dream, it means that he earns
his livelihood from teaching wisdom or religious knowledge to others. Black clouds
in a dream mean wisdom, forbearance, honesty and joy. If the black clouds also
carry a threat or cause fear in the dream, it means that one will be reprimanded
by such a wise person. If one sees himself building a house over a cloud in a
dream, it means that he lives an honest life, earns lawful money and lives his
life with wisdom and integrity. If one builds a palace over a cloud in a dream,
it means that through his wisdom, he avoids committing sins. It also means that
he prospers from such a wisdom or builds a palace in paradise with his deeds.
If one sees a cloud in his hand and rain falling from it in a dream, it denotes the
wisdom he speaks. If one turns into a rainy cloud in a dream, it means that he
lives wealthy and benefits people from his money. If one turns into a cloud that
rains gold in a dream, it means that he will learn wisdom from a great man.
Clouds in a dream also represent the people in authority who do others favors
and ask for no reward. If one hears a human sound calling him from behind a
cloud in a dream, it means that God willing he will attend a pilgrimage. ( See
Invisible caller). A black cloud in a dream also represents a just judge, while a
white cloud represents a blessed and a noble justice. Clouds in season in a dream
represent benefits, profits and prosperity. A mass of black clouds carrying no
rain in a dream mean benefits, extreme cold, sadness or sorrow. Red clouds in
a dream mean distress, adversities or a sickness. A cloud covering a town in a
dream means blessings. If the person who sees such black clouds in his dream
is intending to take a trip, it will take place, though his safety cannot be insured.
On the other hand, if he is unhappy about something, then if he sees such a
dream, it means that his sorrow will be dispelled. White clouds in a dream are
a sign of work, a job or business. Rising fog in a dream means taking a journey,
or returning from one. Red clouds in a dream means lack of work. A gloomy cloud
in a dream means stress. If one sees clouds welcoming him in a dream, it means
glad tidings. If he is an evil person, it means a calamity and a chastisement for
his sins. If one sees clouds covering the sun in a dream, it means that the ruler
of that land is ill. If one sees himself wearing a shirt of clouds in a dream, it
means blessings that God Almighty has favored him with. Clouds in a dream
also represent virtues, miracles, favors, rains, love and blessings, because they
also appear when a prophet or a saint pray for rain or to shelter a blessed person
from the heat of the sun. Clouds in a dream also mean travel by sea or air.

Stairway
(Conveyor; Steps; Travels) In a dream, stairways represent the vehicle
of rising in station, advancement in worldly gains, seeking the blessings of the
hereafter, and the rising of one’s station in the hereafter. A stairway in a dream
also could represent the days of one’s life and their term. If one sees a staircase
which he recognizes in the dream, it could represent the servant of a house, its
owner, or its accountant. If a sick person sees himself climbing an unknown
staircase which is leading him to the upper room from where he can see paradise
in the dream, it means that he may die from his illness and reach what he saw.
If obstacles hinder his way or impede his climb in the dream, it means that he
is detained, and the immediate blessings of such a gift will be veiled to him.
Descending a staircase in a dream means arriving from a journey, resigning
from one’s job, impeachment, or it could represent a pedestrian. If one’s descent
leads him to his family, house, or farmland in the dream, it means money. If
what he reaches at the end of the staircase is unknown, and if one meets people,
or souls he does not recognize in the dream, it also denotes what we have earlier
explained. If during one’s climb or descent he falls into a well, or if a giant bird
grabs him and flies away with him, or if a beast devours him, or if he steps into
a boat that sails away as he steps into it, or if he takes a step to find himself
riding an animal, or a vehicle of some type, the staircase then represents the
stages of one’s life and what he encountered during the journey of his life,
all replayed or screened before his eyes at the point of descending into his grave,
or as a book one reads after his death. If he does wake up and finds himself
healthy and fit, it means that he will become a tyrant, an unjust person, an
atheist and a reprobate. If one sees himself descending a staircase that leads
him into a mosque, lush foliage, green fields, a fresh breeze of spring, or into a
pond to take a ritual ablution to perform his prayers in the dream, it means that
he will become a true believer, repent for his his sins and abandon his
blameworthy conduct. Otherwise, if he descends upon adverse elements such as
snakes, lions, steep hills, corpses, or a field of scattered remains in a dream, then
it represents major trials and adversities. If the steps are made of clay in one’s
dream, they indicate positive signs. However, a stairway could be regarded as
unfavorable if its steps are made of backed bricks. If they are made of stones in
the dream, they mean business success, along with a heart like a stone. If the
staircase is made of wooden steps in the dream, it means reaching a high rank
which is compounded with hypocrisy. If they are made of gold in the dream, then
they mean achieving success and gaining authority. If they are made of silver
in the dream, they represent one’s entourage and attendants. Climbing a
staircase in a dream also means sharpening one’s intellect and awareness. In
a dream, a stairway is also interpreted to mean leading a life of ascetic
detachment and devotion. Coming near a staircase in a dream also means
attaining success and a growing piety. Each step represents a different station.
Climbing a staircase in a dream also represents the dangers one may have to
cross. Seeing a staircase with five steps in a dream represents the five time
prayers, or the pulpit where the Imam stands to deliver his Friday sermon. That
is why some interpreters qualify the staircase in one’s dream as glad tidings,
good news, prayers, charity, alms giving, fasting, or a pilgrimage. God knows
best.

Thunder
(Curse; Omen; Policeman; Warning sign) In a dream, thunder without
rain means a scare, a warning or an ultimatum. It also represents good
promises, gracious orders, or the sound of drums. Seeing thunder in a dream
means repayment of one’s debts, and for a sick person, it means recovering from
his illness. Thunder, lightening and rain in a dream represent fear for a
traveller, or the greed of a merchant. Hearing about an awesome blast in a
distant land in a dream means that the dwellers of that place will be struck with
a major calamity or sudden mass casualties. The sound of thunder in a dream
represents a murder, a fight, a dispute, an argument, lack of religious atten¬
dance, loss of money, or the release of a prisoner. A thunderstorm with rain when
needed in a dream represents a good harvest for that year. Hearing a thunderous
sky without seeing the lightening in a dream means an assassination, deception,
falsehood or slander. Hearing the sound of thunder in a dream also means being
reprimanded by a higher authority. There are no benefits in hearing the sound
of thunder in the darkness without seeing lightening in the dream, this would
be interpreted as apostasy or disloyalty. This can be particularly true when it
is accompanied with an earthquake. If one hears thunder in its season in a
dream, it means good news and blessings. Otherwise, out of its usual season,
thunder in a dream represents an army on the move, or a foreign occupation of
a country. Hearing the sound of thunder in a dream also represents hymns,
praising God Almighty, glorifying Him, or it could mean a sickness, fear,
deafness, or the sound of drums in a wedding. If the one seeing the dream is an
atheist, it means that he will be guided and have faith in God Almighty. If he
is a sinner, it means that he will repent for his sins. Hearing the roaring of
thunder in a dream on the first day of October means death. If it is heard during
the first six days of that month, it means benefits, or lower prices, but if it is
heard near the end of the month, then it means a plague or a disaster. Hearing
the sound of thunder at any other time during the month of October in a dream
means evil. If it is heard during the month of November in a dream, it means
blessings for the land, prosperity, the spreading of God’s words in a new land,
the falling of a comet in a populated area, the death of a leader, a pollution that
will devastate bird life, or a heavy rainstorm with limited damages. If the sound
of thunder is heard during the first ten days of December in a dream, it means
the death of famous people within the Western hemisphere, inflation, rising
prices, degradation of social behavior, decrease in harvest, inflation, or playing
dirty politics. Hearing the sound of thunder during the last seven days of
December in a dream means that the winter will be cold and dry, though the
forthcoming spring will be cool and wet. Hearing the sound of thunder in the first
six days of the month of January in a dream means that a major event will take
place, such as an earthquake, death, destruction, or a war in Iraq. If this dream
is witnessed during the last week of the month of January, then it represents
a solar eclipse, or the death of a Western leader, a plague, or the birth of a planet
that signifies the destruction of a great city on earth. Hearing the sound of
thunder on the first day of February in a dream means a good harvest, lowering
or stabilization of prices, discovering a new disease in the East, death in the
seas, heavy rains in Mecca, fear, devastation and famines in Ethiopia, or that
a Western leader will move his armies to the East and control the land for a short
period of time. Hearing the sound of thunder during the first six days of March
in a dream means good harvest, lowering of prices, stabilization of the market
and prosperity. Hearing the sound of thunder at the end of March in a dream
means famines, destruction, or that a swarm of locusts may devastate the lands,
or it could mean a drought that will kill African cattle. Also in this type of
dreams, if the sound of thunder is heard on the twenty first day of April, it means
that Western armies will drive East and establish military bases there. If the
first of April happens to be a Sunday, then March will be a month of great fear
and disturbances in the East, meanwhile, a conflict between the Western armies
will end by the death of a Western leader and the defeat of his army. If the dream
is seen on the eleventh day of April, it may mean that earthquakes or cyclones
will devastate many countries. If the dream takes place on the thirteenth day
of April, then it means that inflation will strike and price hiking will burden the
common people. If the dream is seen on the seventeenth day of April, it purports
a major political dispute between the leaders of the world, and if it is seen on
the twenty second day of April, it means that a disastrous evil will contaminate
many societies. If the dream takes place on the twenty third day of the month
of April, it means abundance, falling prices, fertility in the lands, while if it is
seen on the twenty fifth day of April, it will mean price hiking. If it is seen on
the twenty ninth day of April, it means that blessings, fertility, relief and joy
will spread in the land. If the sound of thunder is heard during the first nine
days of the month of May in a dream, it means the death of noble and leading
people in Turkey. During that period, rain will be in abundance, the land will
be fertile and the farms most productive. If the dream takes place between the
tenth and the twentieth day of the month of May, it means plagues. If the sound
of thunder is heard in a dream during the first ten days of June, it means the
death of renowned scholars, people of knowledge, religious leaders, or noble
people in Egypt. Meanwhile, prices will fall, and abundance will ease the
economy into a major economic turnaround. If the dream is seen during the first
six days of July, it means that good rain will fall during the following December
and that the land will be fertile. During that year, several Western leaders will
die, and a war may take place in Persia. Meanwhile, evil will spread throughout
Egypt, and it will be brought about by its own leaders. If the dream takes place
during the last seven days of July, it means that peace will spread throughout
the earth, prices will fall in Iraq and in East Africa, and a new disease will affect
fruit trees, banana trees, date trees, though wheat will be available in abun¬
dance, even if the farmers were concerned about it in the early part of the year.
If the sound of thunder is heard during the month of August in a dream, it
means blessings for the people in Syria and the people of Azerbaijan on the
Caspian Sea. At that time, sea passages will be blockaded, the highways will be
forsaken and a war may take place in China. If the sound of thunder is heard
at the end of the month of August in a dream, it means the end of a drought in
Egypt, risingprices, death, earthquakes, or major political changes. If the sound
of thunder is heard during the first eight days of September in a dream, it
announces a drought during the early part of the year that will be followed by
heavy rains and results in a good harvest. It also means that a long and
destructive war will take place. If the thunder takes place on the tenth day of
September in one’s dream, then it means a drought in Morocco. God knows best
what He has reserved for His creation and He is the best of judges.
Thunderbolt: Thunderbolts in a dream are signs of punishment, illness or death.
If a thunderbolt hits and burns something in the dream, it means false rumors,
damages, financial losses, recession, or dumping of merchandise. A thunderbolt
in a dream also means a warning for a sinner, the punishment for his crime,
devastation, calamities, diseases, tornados, plagues, a blast, a major political
shift, tyranny, decapitation, a bad death, inceneration, burining people alive,
or a robbery. If one is under surveillance, then seeing a thunderbolt in a dream
means a crackdown on his house or business. If thunderbolts strike people’s
homes in a dream, they mean the arrival of covetous and despicable criminals
in the company of decent and innocent people who are not aware of the true
identity of their companions. If thunderbolts strike the fields and damage the
crop in a dream, they represent taxes or an investigation. If one sees a town hit
and burnt with a thunderbolt in a dream, it means that an unjust governor will
rise in that town, and his government will bring fear, rising prices, economic
chaos, injustice or war. If a thunderbolt does not carry fire in the dream, then
it represents a new leader. (Also see Earthquake)

Stonemasonry
(Cutting stones; Stone carving; Sculpturing) Building a structure
in a dream from masonry rather than baked brick represents elevation of one’s
status, success, or stretching one’s hopes. It also could denote concerns about
protecting one’s wife, adopting what is beneficial, conducting scientific re¬
search, or preserving one’s heritage. Building the base, the foundation, or the
pillars from uncut stones rather than marble in a dream connotes humiliation
and poverty. If one sees that the gravestones were changed from marble into
unfinished stones in a dream, it means alteration of a will left by the deceased.

Crucifixion
(Death; Punishment) In a dream, crucifixion means exaltation of the
one who is put on the cross, or a high rank he will attain. If one who qualifies
for a leadership position sees himself crucified in a dream, it means that he will
attain his goals. If he dies of his crucifixion in the dream, it means that he will
lose faith or fail to apply the divine laws in his life. If he is crucified in the dream
and does not die from it, it means that he will rule with justice. If an average
person sees himself crucified in a dream, it means that he will be humiliated and
suppressed. If one sees himself raised to be crucified after he had died in a
dream, it means that he will attain worldly status, though remains morally
defiled and religiously corrupt. If one sees himself crucified and did not know
when was he put on the cross in a dream, it means that he will recover lost
property or money, or fulfill his goals. If one is crucified after being killed in the
dream, it means that someone will lie to him, despite his high rank. If one eats
the flesh of a crucified person in a dream, it means that he will backbite him.
If blood comes out of the flesh of a crucified person in a dream, it means that he
is recruited to cause harm. If one eats the flesh of a crucified person in a dream,
it means that he will travel in the mail wagon or on a cargo ship. If one sees
himself riding in the mail wagon in a dream, it means that he will shortly die.
If one is crucified on the walls of a city and people are watching him in a dream,
it means that he will rise in station and rank and that he will command strong
men. If he bleeds in the dream, it means that his subjects draw benefits from
him. Crucifixion of a poor person in a dream means richness, while for a rich
person, it means revelations about his business dealings, exposure of his true
character, defamation, or it could mean poverty. As for an unwed person,
crucifixion in a dream means getting married.

Hole
(Deception; Plot; Profits; Fall) Digging a hole, a water well, or an irrigation
and planning to water the plants with them in a dream means attending one’s
needs and serving the interests of his family. Eating from the dirt one piles from
digging in his dream represents a swagger, or someone who acquires money
through deception. Seeing oneself inside a hole in a dream also means divorce.
To see oneself outside of such a hole looking at it in a dream means having an
argument with one’s spouse that will end in reconciliation. If a sick person or
a prisoner sees himself coming out of a hole in a dream, it means that he will
become free from his trials. Falling into a hole and crying for help to no avail
in a dream means taking a short trip. A hole in a dream also represents a poor
woman who strives to cover others pitfalls, though she cannot veil her own.
Hiding inside a hole in a dream also means appeasement of one’s fears, or ending
of one’s adversities. If while hiding, one finds food, or fresh water, or a cloth to
cover himself in the dream, it means profiting from sources one does not
anticipate, or making peace with an opponent. To put a hole in one’s shoe in a
dream means facing trouble and adversities. (Also see Den; Mouse hole; Tunnel)
Holy Book: (Quran; The Last Revelation) In a dream, the Holy Book, or the Quran
represents a king or a judge who deals with Islamic jurisprudence. If a king, a
ruler, or a judge sees that the Holy Book does no longer exist, or if he sees it
burning, or if its contents are washed away in a dream, it means his death. If
one sees a ruler or a governor handwriting a copy of the Holy Book in a dream,
it means that he is a just person who uses the divine laws in making his decision.
If a judge sees himself handwritings copy of the Holy Book in a dream, it means
that he does not share his knowledge, and that he is audacious about his rank
and status. If a religious scholar or a theologian sees himself writing a copy of
Holy Book in a dream, it means that he will profit from a business deal. If one
sees a king, or a ruler swallowing the Holy Book in a dream, it means that he
may die soon. If a judge swallows the Holy Book in a dream, it means that he
accepts bribes. If a ruler sees himself erasing what is written in the Holy Book
in a dream, it means that he will be exiled. If a judge erases what is written in
the Holy Book in a dream, it also means his death. If he erases it by licking it
with his own tongue in a dream, it means that he will commit an awful sin. If
a witness erases it in a dream, it means that he will deny his own testimony.
Carrying the Holy Book, or buying a copy of the Quran in a dream means living
by its criterion. Reading from the Holy Book before God’s Prophet, upon whom
be peace, in a dream means that one will commit himself to memorizing it.
Eating the pages of the Holy Book in a dream means accepting bribes. If a
layman eats the pages of the Holy Book, or few lines from some pages in a dream,
it means that he earns his livelihood from reciting the Holy Quran or teaching
it. Eating the pages of the Holy Book in a dream also means earning one’s
livelihood from copying and selling it. Seeing the Holy Book in a dream also
mans growing in wisdom. Handwriting copies of the Holy Book in a dream
denotes one’s piety, or it could represent a religious scholar who lives by the
book, act by its commands and shares his knowledge with others. Tearing off the
pages of the Holy Book in a dream means ingratitude toward God’s revelations,
or denying God’s favors, or questioning some of them. If one does something to
the Holy Book in his dream that he would abhor to do in wakefulness, it means
that he has lost his religious devotion and faith. Carrying a copy of the Holy Book
in a dream means attaining power and acquiring knowledge. The Holy Book in
a dream also represents a husband, a wife, a son, or wealth. If a sick person sees
it in his dream, it means that he will recover from his illness. If the one who sees
it in his dream is facing an enemy, it means that he will triumph over him. If
he is a sinner, it means that he will repent of his sins and turn to his Lord, or
it could mean that he may receive an inheritance. If one sees himself following
innovations and he recognizes that in his sleep, his dream denotes a warning
from God Almighty. Seeing the Holy Book in a dream also could mean seeing
wonders, witnessing a miracle, hearing news, receiving happy news, or it could
mean longevity for one who browse through it from cover to cover in his dream.
The Holy Book in a dream also represents gardens, heavens, places of worship,
or a person one is commanded to obey, such as a ruler, or a father, a mother, one’s
teacher, or shaikh, or it could mean making a true oath, receiving glad tidings,
admonition or a warning. Seeing the Holy Book or any of the early divine
revelations in a dream means that one may preside over people. If one sees
himself carrying the Holy Book, or even any book of revelations, and if when he
opens it finds the pages blank with no writing inside it in the dream, it means
that he portrays himself to be what he is not, or that he impersonates a scholar,
or pretends to be religious. Kissing the Holy Book in a dream means revering
what it contains and adhering to what it commands. If one looks into the pages
of the Holy Book and finds its lines crooked in a dream, it means that he lives
satisfied with what he has, and fulfills his required duties accordingly. Stealing
a copy of the Holy Book and hiding it in a dream means that one cheats in
performing his own prayers, or fails to do them properly. If one sees himself
looking in the Holy Book, then writing from what he is reading on his own
garment in the dream, it means that he interprets the Quranic revelation
according to his own liking. If one sees a Holy Book sitting in his lap, then if a
chick comes and picks all the words written therein in a dream, it means that
one will beget a child who will memorize and read the Holy Quran as an
inheritance, and benefit from the piety of his father, and as a trust, a lawful
earning and a source of strength in his life. Buying a copy of the Holy Book in
dream means benefits, prosperity and becoming a renowned and a distinguished
religious scholar. If the Holy Book is snatched away from someone’s hands in
a dream, it means that he will lose his knowledge, or perhaps lose his employment.
If one sees himself spreading the pages of the Holy Book on a flat surface in a
dream, it means that he is seeking wisdom which he will get, or that he may
receive an inheritance. If one sees himself putting the Holy Book over his
shoulders in a dream, it means that he will receive an appointment, or be
entrusted with a duty to guard, or that he will memorize the Holy Quran. If one
finds himself trying to eat the pages of the Holy Book in a dream, it means that
he is a regular reader of the Quran. If one sees himself trying to eat the pages
of the holy Book but is unable to do so in a dream, it means that he tries to
memorize the Holy Quran from time to time but keeps forgetting what he
learns. (Also see Quran)

carrying his favor for a longtime to come. Feces in a dream also denote earnings
from an unjust and a loathsome person. Excreting in a dream also means
dispelling one’s worries or getting rid of one’s burdens. If one excretes in the
ablution room in his dream, it means that his spendings or deeds are recognized
to be a fulfillment of his desires, ostentatiousness and love for fame. If one
excretes in an unknown place in a dream, it means that his deeds will not be
acknowledged, nor will he receive any reward for them. Going to the bathroom
in a dream means dispelling one’s worries, paying one’s debts or paying an
unavoidable alimony for his children. Putting a shirt in the wilderness and
defecating inside it rather than in the field in a dream means committing a sin
and carrying its consequences for sometime to come. Excreting in the wilder¬
ness, then covering one’s feces with dirt in a dream means hiding money. To
defecate in a marketplace in public in a dream means incurring God’s displeasure
and the curse of His angels. Throwing feces at someone in a dream means
starting a fight or opposing him in opinion, being unjust to him, or causing him
great losses. The consequences also may backfire at the assailant. If one sees
himself standing inside the sewers and searching through the filth with a stick
in his dream, it means that he might become a judge and be accused of bribery
or misuse of people’s money. Seeing human excrements in a dream means
abstraction of movement, stalling of businesses, or facing complex and harmful
adversities. To soil oneself with people’s feces in a dream means sickness or fear,

Flint stone
(Fire stone; Hard; Siliceous rock; Steel) In a dream, a flint stone means
searching for something that could bring profits or hoping for something to
happen, and both will take place. If one sees himself striking a flint stone with
a piece of steel to produce fire for cooking or for light, and if he sees the sparks
coming from them in a dream, it means that he will take advantage of his
friendship with someone in authority who is rock hearted to help him overcome
his poverty and to make his life more manageable. The flint stone in a dream
also represents the rock hearted man, and the steel represents his might. On
the other hand, if one strikes a flint stone with a piece of steel and produces
sparks from them in his dream, it means that he will witness an awesome fight
between two rock hearted and cruel people. Striking a flint stone in a dream also
means marriage of an unwed person. If a woman sees herself striking a flint
stone with a piece of steel, and if she can produce sparks in the dream, it means
that she will beget a son. If a spark starts a fire in the dream, it means that one’s
wife will become pregnant or perhaps it could represent a fight between the
husband and the wife, or a fight between two partners. If the sparks burn one’s
gown in the dream, it means that harm will affect that house and such harm will
bring about losses in money, family honor or bodily injury. If the sparks burn
a notebook in the dream, it means deviation from God’s path.

in a dream also represents one’s source of income, revenues, or shop, or it could
denote one’s carnal self, its good and evil nature, or it could mean changes in one’s

Quran
(Garden; Holy Book; The Last Revelation) In a dream, the holy Quran
represents a garden because when one looks at it, it looks like a beautiful garden
and its verses are the fruit of knowledge and wisdom the reader can pluck.
Learning a Quranic verse, a saying of God’s Prophet (uwbp), a prophetic
tradition, or a craft in a dream means richness after poverty, or guidance after
heedlessness. If one sees himself in a dream reading from the pages the holy
Quran, it signifies honor, command, happiness and victory. Reciting the Quran
by heart and without reading the pages of the holy Book in a dream means
proving to be true, or having a true claim, being pious, commanding what is good
and forbidding what is evil. If one is told a verse from the holy Quran in a dream,
he should understand it, memorize it and comply with the same. If the verse
reads about mercy or glad tidings or other admonitions in the dream, the
interpretation of one’s dream should be the same. If the Quranic verses recited
in the dream connote an advice, one should act upon it in order for him to reap
its benefits. If one hears a Quranic verse containing a warning, promising
punishment for the disbelievers, or announcing a swift retribution for their sins,
then one should immediately repent for his sins, even if the verses relate to
previous nations or times. If one sees himself reciting the Quran and under¬
standing what it says in a dream, it denotes his vigilance, intelligence, faith and
spiritual awareness. If a Quranic verse is recited to someone, and if he does not
agree with the divine judgement in the dream, it means that he will suffer harm
from someone in authority, or that a punishment from God Almighty will soon
befall him. If an unlettered person sees himself reading the holy Quran in a
dream, it could also mean his death, or his reading of his own records. If one sees
himself reading the holy Quran without true interest in it in a dream, it means
that he follows his own mind, personal interpretations and innovations. If one
sees himself eating the pages of the holy Quran in a dream, it means that he
earns his livelihood from his knowledge of it. If one sees himself completing the
reading of the entire Quran in a dream, it means that a splendid reward from
his Lord is awaiting him, and that he will get whatever he asks for. If a
disbeliever sees himself reading the holy Quran in a dream, the verses of
admonition will help him in his life, the verses of punishment will be his warning
from God Almighty and the parables will denote his need to contemplate the
meaning. If one sees himself writing the verses of the holy Quran on slabs of
a mother of pearl, or on a piece of cloth in a dream, it means that he interprets
it according to his own liking. If one sees himself inscribing a Quranic verse on
the ground in a dream, it means that he is an atheist. It is also said that reading
the Quran in a dream means fulfillment of one’s needs, clearing of one’s heart
and establishment of one’s success in his life. If one discovers that he has
memorized the Quran in a dream, though in wakefulness he has not memorized
it, it means that he will own a large property. Hearing the verses of the holy
Quran in a dream means the strengthening of one’s power, reaching a praiseworthy
end to his life, and that one will be protected from the envy and jealousy of
evildoing people. If a sick person sees himself reciting a verse from the holy
Quran, but could not remember to what chapter it belongs in the dream, it
means that he will recover from his illness. Licking the holy Quran in a dream
means that one has committed a major sin. Reciting the holy Quran in a dream
means increase in one’s good deeds and rising in his station. (Also see Holy Book;

(Getting lost) If a man of knowledge sees himself lost in a dream, it means

it means extra expenses, repairs, or taxes he will pay for his property. If one is
stripped of his entire wardrobe in a dream, it means that he will avoid an evil
and a costly incident. (Also see Wandering)

Abraham
(God’s bosom friend, upon whom be peace, arb. khalil) To see the

noble goals, righteous progeny, commanding good and forbidding evil, discard¬
ing bad company, compliance with the divine ruling, knowledge, guidance,
success after failure and separation from one’s family and kin to seek God’s
nearness and pleasure. In a dream, Abraham represents the element of com¬
passion toward one’s son and family and sometime he represents the element
of adversities and finally of reachingsafety. (Also see Feast of Immolation; Station

Kaaba
(God’s house in Mecca.) In a dream, the holy Kaaba represents the calif
of all Muslims, his chief minister, a leader of a country, or it may represent a
wedding. Seeing the holy Kaaba in a dream also means that one may enter it,
or it could mean receiving glad tidings and dispelling evil. Praying inside the
holy Kaaba in a dream means enjoying the guardianship and protection of
someone in authority, and safety from one’s enemy. Entering inside the holy
Kaaba in a dream means entering before a ruler. Taking something from inside
the holy Kaaba in a dream means receiving something from the ruler. If one of
the walls of the holy Kaaba crumbles in a dream, it means the death of the Calif
or the local governor. Entering the holy Kaaba and failing to perform any of the
prescribed rites in a dream means standing before God Almighty on the Day of
Judgment having performed one’s obligations, or it could mean repenting from
one’s sins. To look at the holy Kaaba in a dream means safety and protection
against fear. If one is given a job in Mecca in a dream, it means that he may
become an Imam. Stealing anything from the holy Kaaba in a dream means
committing a sin. Walking toward the holy Kaaba, or seeking it in a dream
means correcting one’s religious standing. Seeing oneself in Mecca mixing with
departed souls who are inquiring from him about the world in a dream means
to die testifying to the Oneness of God Almighty and to the prophethood of His
Messenger, upon whom be peace. Seeing the Kaaba inside one’s own house in
a dream means that one is still in power and living with grace. If the holy Kaaba
does not look right in one’s eyes in the dream, then it means adversities. If one
sees the holy Kaaba as his own house in a dream, the holy Kaaba then
represents the Imam of all Muslims who is the representative and vice-regent
of God’s Messenger (uwbp), and it means that one truly follows the Imam.
Praying on top of the holy Kaaba in a dream means becoming an apostate.
Entering the holy Mosque in Mecca and praying on the roof of the holy Kaaba
in a dream represents peace, tranquility, presiding over others, it also means
that one will become victorious wherever one goes, though with a questionable
conduct, he also may follow innovation and depart from the traditions and
teachings of God’s Messenger, upon whom be peace. Walkingby the holy Kaaba,
or leaving it behind in a dream means going against the traditions of God’s
Prophet, upon whom be peace, following the path of innovation, or interpreting
things according to one’s own mind and liking. If one sees angels descending
from the heavens to lift away the pillar of God’s House from Mecca and place
it in a different town in the dream, it means that people have gone astray and
the time of destruction has come. It also means that the pillar of the faith, the
righteous guide of the believers and God’s vice-regent on earth Al-Mahdi will
soon emerge to dwell in that town. If one sees the holy Kaaba burning in a
dream, it means that one has neglected or abandoned his prescribed prayers.
Any changes, decrease or increase in the shape of the holy Kaaba, moving of it
away from its place, or changing its look in a dream will reflect upon the Imam,
or the guide of all Muslims. Circumambulating the holy Kaaba or performing
any of the prescribed rites in a dream means walking the path of righteousness,
or correcting one’s religious life as much as one does in his dream. Failure to
perform some of the prescribed rites that are associated with being at the holy
Ka‘aba in a dream indicates one’s deviation from God’s path, and such innovation
is equal to changing the direction ( arb. Qiblah ) of one’s prayers. The holy Kaaba
in a dream also represents one’s prayers, for it is the focal point of all praying
Muslims. The holy Kaaba in a dream also represents God’s House, a mosque,
a community center of all Muslims, and it represents a teacher, a guide, Islam,
the holy Quran, the prophetic traditions, one’s son, a religious scholar, a shaikh,
a master, a husband, one’s mother, and the heavenly paradise. The holy Kaaba
is God’s House, and thereat people will be gathered and led into paradise. The
holy Kaaba in a dream also represents the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, the
gathering of believers, the local markets and the vicinity of the holy Mosque. If
one sees that his own house has become the Kaaba and people are seeking it
and crowds are gathering at his door in a dream, it means that he will be
endowed with wisdom, gain knowledge and act upon it, and that people will
learn at his hand and follow his example. Performing some of the required rites
at the holy Kaaba in a dream also means that one may work for someone in
authority, or serve a man of knowledge, a shaikh, a renunciate, one’s father,
one’s mother, or it could mean that one has a master who demands clarity, true
following and hard-work from his students and disciples. (Also see Circum-

Joseph
(God’s prophet Joseph, upon whom be peace; arb. Yusuf) Seeing God’s
prophet Joseph (uwbp) in a dream means attaining high rank or a vice-regency.
Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also could denote a time of rising prices, drought,
loss of one’s family, or suffering from people’s stratagem, entering a prison, then
be released by God’s grace. It also denotes one’s luck with women and adversities
related to one’s beauty and good character. Seeing God’s prophet Joseph in a
dream also means acquiring knowledge about dream interpretation, or catching
one’s enemy, then forgiving him, or digging a river, a water irrigation, or
transporting dead people from one country to another. It also could represent
a great advent or a miracle by the fact that he (uwbp) had performed a miracle
by God’s leave and returned his father’s sight. Joseph’s shirt in a dream means
dispelling distress, sorrows and recovering from illness. If the shirt is spotted
withblood in the dream, then it means separation and imprisonment. Ifhis shirt
is torn from the back in the dream, it means a false accusation. If a woman sees
Joseph (uwbp) in a dream, it means that she will lose her comfort and sight. She
will also live unhappy because of her separation from her beloved, and she will
fall in love with a great man. If the woman who is actually suffering from such
adversity sees such a dream, it means that God Almighty will turn to her with
mercy and guide her to repentance. If she is unmarried, it means that she will
get married. If she is poor, it means that she will become rich, and her life in
this world as well as in the hereafter will turn to her advantage. Seeing Joseph
(uwbp) as a young boy in a dream means having little or no luck with one’s
brethren. He will be lied to, suffer from imprisonment and other trials before
he recuperates, to rise and triumph over them. They will all then become his
subject. One who sees God’s prophet Joseph (uwbp) in a dream will also be a
pious, generous, charitable, and shares his good advice with those who need it,
or ask for it. If Joseph (uwbp) talks to someone, or gives him something in a
dream, it means that one will understand dream interpretations and learn
about Chronicles, or the two biblical books of History. Seeing him (uwbp) in a
dream also means marriage to a beautiful woman who will truly love her
husband. (Also see Jacob; Sale; Introduction p.p. xvi, xvii, xuiii)

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

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

adversities, or fertility of a barren land, or the pregnancy of a barren woman.

the family of the person seeing the dream will shortly die. If one sees the funeral

country. Following his funeral procession up to his grave (uwbp) in a dream

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

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

to pay the annual alms tax ( Islamic law) due over one’s money making assets,

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

that God Almighty will surely replace him with a just and an honorable one. If
one becomes God’s prophet David (uwbp), or if he wears his robe in the dream

that he will marry a rich woman and conceives one or two sons with her. If he
finds a ring in the belly of the fish in a dream, it means that he will gain authority
and might. Finding fat in the belly of a fish in a dream means acquiring money
from a woman. Seeing oneself fishing on a dry land means committing adultery,
a sin, or it could mean hearing good news. Catching a fish with excessive bones
and scales denotes the necessity to pay one’s dues or to distribute alms tax on
one’s liquid assets, because one cannot enjoy his catch unless he first cleanse
it. Seeing sea fish swimming toward sweet waters, or river fish swimming
toward the sea in a dream means hypocrisy, falsehood or the rise of an innovator
or an impostor. If one sees fish swimming on the water surface in a dream, it

if one catches a goldfish from its belly in the dream, it means that God Almighty
will reveal new spiritual knowledge to him in order to help him understand his
religion and to receive guidance. If the goldfish leaves his hand and returns to
the sea in the dream, it means that he will join the company of righteous people
and saints from whom he will learn about the inner spiritual knowledge, or that
he will find a good companion for a journey he intends. If one eats a fish without
cleaning or cooking it in a dream, it means that he will speak ill of his own
friends, slander his associates, commit adultery, acquire money from trickery
and falsehood, or become inflicted with a dangerous disease or suffer from a
stroke. If one sees fish on the shore rather than in the water in a dream, it means
that he may change his profession. The different types of fish in a dream
represent human beings and their professions. A fish in a dream also could mean
that death will take place where it is found, because of the departure of its soul,
its stench, weight and one’s responsibility to bury the deceased. Eating a fish

means that he holds fast to his prayers, fasting, controls his carnal self and base
desires. Engaging in a battle with Jinn in a dream means that one will be safe

also may indicate the presence of snakes, scorpions, or what human beings may
fear in the wilderness. (Also see Dragon; Pumpkin)

A mold maker in a dream represents a gnostic, or a genius who teaches
each and everyone of his students what they particularly need. Since molds are

Mountain
A mountain in a dream represents a great and a noble man who
possesses a strong and a commanding voice, who commands good administration
of his affairs and an excellent leadership. It also can be interpreted as a son, a
difficult and austere woman, or a businessman. If the mountain is rounded or
flat in the dream, it means difficulties or distress. A mountain in a dream also
could mean achieving one’s goal, a journey, or fulfilling a promise. If the
mountain is standing distinct from other mountains in the dream, the above
meanings become stronger. If the mountain has pasture and stores a source of
water, and if it is used as a permanent guarding post, then it represents a pious
ruler. However, if it stores no water, and if no pasture grows therein in the
dream, it represents a tyrant and a ruler who is an atheist, for in that case, it
is dead and does not glorify God Almighty, nor can people benefit from it. In a
dream, a mountain that stands high is alive, but a crumbling mountain which
has turned into a pile of rocks is dead. If a person sees himself climbing an erect
mountain, eating from its plants and drinking from its water, and if he qualifies
to govern, it means that he will be appointed to a governing post under the
auspices of a stringent ruler, though his subjects do receive benefits from his
government. The size of benefits the governor will acquire is equal to the
quantity of food and the measure of water he drinks from it in his dream. If the
person is a merchant or a business man, a mountain in his dream represents
profits and earning a good reputation. If climbing the mountain is easy, then
there are no benefits in that climbing in the dream, for there are no benefits
without hardships. If at the end of his climbing one thanks God Almighty for
what he has reached in the dream, it means that he will become a just ruler.
If he calls to prayers on the top of a mountain or performs his prayers thereat
in the dream, it means that he will be appointed to govern. If one sees himself
descending a mountain in a dream, it means loss of rank, business losses, or
regret. If one is accompanied with his king and soldiers in a dream, it means
that he is in the company of God Almighty and that of His angels, therefore,
he shall be victorious, whereby, he can win a war, conquer an enemy, or
renounces his attachment to the world. If climbing a mountain with difficulty
means distress, then descending it in a dream means relief. If climbing means
gaining a higher station, then descending in a dream means losing rank. If one
sees himself climbing a mountain, though at a certain height he finds himself
no longer able to climb or to descend in the dream, it means that he will die
young. If one sees himself falling from a mountain in a dream, it means that he
will fall into sin. If he falls and breaks a leg in the dream, it means that he will
become despised by his superiors. A mountain on fire in a dream represents the
death of a dangerous person. Leaning against a mountain in a dream represents
friendship with someone in authority. Living in the shadow of a mountain in a
dream means earning one’s livelihood from such a person and living happily
there. Carrying a mountain in a dream means carrying the responsibility of
managing the business of a notable merchant, and such responsibilities will
bear heavy on him. If the mountain is radiant with lights, it means that one’s
responsibilities will be light too. If he sees a mountain descending from the
heavens in a dream, it represents a visit of the local governor to that locality.
If one sees the mountain rising into the skies in a dream, it means that the
governor of that town will be dismissed. Throwing stones from the top of a
mountain in a dream means insulting others. If the mountain is beautifully
dressed in the dream, it means that one will command a greater authority.
Seeing a mountain at a distance in a dream means a journey. If one sees an
earthquake hitting a mountain in a dream, it means that calamities will befall
that land or country. If an evildoer sees a mountain in his dream, it means that
he will surely suffer for his sins. Swallowing a mountain in a dream means
commanding and controlling ruthless and strong men. Climbing a mountain
until one reaches a flat surface in a dream means serving orphans, or nursing
sick people. Entering a cave inside a mountain in a dream means reaching
safety. The good or evil emanating from seeing a mountain in one’s dream
depend on its fertility or bareness. Climbing a mountain and enjoying its
vegetations and its sweet fresh waters in a dream means sheltering one’s
chastity in the company of one’s wife, or learning a knowledge or a trade that
will satisfy one’s needs. Climbing a mountain through a straight path in a dream
means facing things the way they are. If one sees mountains moving forward
with him, it means a war or a major conflict between people of knowledge.
Falling down from the top of a mountain into the middle of beasts, crows,
vultures, snakes, mammals, mire, filth, or rats and their different kinds in a
dream means abstaining from sins, or refraining from innovation if escaping
from them leads one into a mosque where he can enter to pray, or a garden where
he can rest in peace. If the mountain crumbles, and if it is transformed into ashes
or dirt in the dream, it means that whoever is meant in that dream shall lose
his devotion and waste his life. (Also see Ascending in the skies)

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

happened in the story of Joseph son of Jacob, upon both of them be peace. (See

enemy. Drinking from such a well in a dream means fulfillment of one’s
intentions and satisfaction of his needs. In a dream, a well also means a prison
or depression. If one is in such a state, it means that his adversities will
dissipate, and that he will reestablish himself in the circles of people in
authority. If the person in the dream is a seer who predicts events, then he may
be involved in the circles of governors, particularly to interpret their dreams.
It is possible that he also might receive emissaries of notable people who will
bring him what pleases him. It also could mean a fight in one’s family involving
jealousy, envy, betrayal, though at the end one will triumph over them. Falling
into a well in a dream also means being indicted in an alleged crime from which
one is clearly innocent. A well in a dream is also interpreted as levying taxes,
or it could mean circumcision. Digging a well in a dream also represents a crafty

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.

Walking on water
Walking on water in a dream represents one’s strong faith,
certitude and trust in God Almighty. This is particularly true if while waking
one also speaks words of wisdom. Otherwise, walking on water in a dream also
could mean clarifying a complex issue. Walking on water in a dream also could
mean undertaking a dangerous venture and trusting one’s affairs to God’s
protection. If one walks back from the water to the dry land in a dream, it means
that he will satisfy his needs or fulfill his intentions. In a dream, waking on
water represents one’s good intention, clarity and certitude. Walking on water
in a dream also means unveiling a mystery, the need to trust one’s affairs into
God’s hand, or it may mean approaching a danger, or it could mean that the
accumulated pressures one is enduring are bearing heavy on him. It also means
placing one’s trust in God Almighty before embarking on a trip that could entail
some danger. To walk on water, whether it is an ocean or a river in a dream also
denotes good spiritual standing, religious assiduousness and strong faith,
certitude and determination. (Also see River; Water)
