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)

in a dream, it means glad tidings. If it is carried by a servant or a housekeeper,
then it means glad tidings and good news. If a letter is carried by a woman, then
one could expect a quick relief from his trouble. If the letter which the woman
is carrying in the dream is an open letter, and if the woman is wearing a veil,
it means that the news she is bringing must be treated carefully. If the woman
is wearing perfume, then one could expect good news and a commendation for
his work. If one sees himself holding a closed book in a dream, it means the end
of his life in this world. If one sees a flyer or a public announcement in display
by the authorities in a dream, it means that he will gain leadership, happiness
and income. If one sends a sealed letter to someone, which is returned to him
unopened in the dream, it means losing a war to one’s enemy. If he is a merchant,
it means that he will suffer losses in his business. If he is seeking marriage, it
means the denial of his request. If one sees himself carrying a book, a record,
or a letter in his right hand in a dream, and if he had an argument, or a confusing

he will bring proof of his innocence and escape from his difficulties. If he is

trials or evil encounters and receiving benefits. Holding to a sealed book, decree,
or a letter in a dream also signifies abidingby the rules of one’s superior. Holding
a sealed book in one’s dream also signifies success, leadership and honor. If one
is seeking marriage and sees a sealed book in his hand in a dream, it means that
his betrothal to someone will end in marriage. Seeing or receiving a blank letter
or a book from someone in a dream means absence of his news, or not knowing
where he lives. If one sees a book descending to him from the heavens and if he
thinks in the dream that he understood the contents, then whatever good or bad
news it brings, it will be the same in wakefulness. A book in a dream also
represents one’s companion, or an intimate friend. Seeing a book in a dream also
could signify recovering from an illness. A hardcover book if the content is
unknown represents dishonesty, deceit, a cheap product or selling a sealed
package with undisclosed contents, or it could represent an old woman. Bringing
books into one’s home in a dream signify hearing news about an honest and a
pious person, learning happy stories from a reporter or becoming acquainted
with religious thoughts. (Also see Encyclopedia; Letter; Write; Writer)

Scholars
(Early companions; Legist; Masjid; Men of knowledge; Mosque; Reli¬
gious doctors; Righteous men) A scholar in a dream represents glad tidings, a
promotion, or a commendation and it represents one who acts upon what he
knows and says. Seeing one of the early scholars in a dream means increase in
one’s knowledge, for they were the wise representatives of God’s message on
earth. Seeing them also means increase in one’s wisdom, happiness, joy, and
one’s dream could mean that one will stand to admonish people or counsel them.
Seeing the early righteous people and the blessed companions of God’s Prophet,
upon whom be peace, in a dream means growth of one’s righteousness. If one sees
a scholar who is considered to be a reference in religious knowledge, and if one
accepts his admonition in the dream, though in wakefulness he does not follow
this school of thought, it means that he will be tried with an adversity that will
be remembered by people for sometime to come, though his testimony will be
accepted by the people. If a well-known early scholar appears in one’s dream
when the dwellers of that locality are experiencing adversities, economic
distress or a drought, it means that their calamity will be lifted. Seeing an
unknown scholar, or an unknown religious doctor in a dream means that a
physician or a philosopher may visit one’s house. (Also see Legist; Companions
of the Prophet; uwbp; Masjid; Mosque)

(Fowl; Man; Woman) An unknown bird in a dream represents the angel of
death. If one sees a bird diving to the ground to pick a pebble, a paper, or a worm,

that the sick person will shortly die from his illness. If one sees a bird diving
toward him in a dream, it means a journey. If one sees him standing over his
head, or over his shoulders, or sitting in his lap in a dream, it denotes one’s work
or profession. If the bird is white in the dream, it means that one’s work is clean,

bird sits in the lap of a pregnant woman in a dream, it means that she will beget
a boy. If a female bird sits in her lap in a dream, it means that she will beget
a girl. Large or predatory birds in a dream represent kings, presidents, leaders,

Quince

eats this fruit in his dream, it means that he will recover from his illness. If a
governor eats quince in his dream, it means that he will achieve his goals. If a
healthy person eats it in his dream, it means that he will receive spiritual

discrete and a firm man from whom no one can benefit, or it could represent a
vile person. A green quince in a dream is better than a yellow one. A quince in
a dream also represents a beautiful and a noble woman. Many interpreters
disliked the quince fruit because of its yellowish color, and they mostly qualify
it to mean sickness because of the constipation it causes if eaten raw. However,
its yellowish color also can be interpreted as the color of gold. Seeing or eating
a quince in a dream also means travelling with good companions, though some
of them may be of no benefit. However, in general a quince or a quince tree in
a dream can still be interpreted in a positive sense under all circumstances.

may mean the death of one’s wife. In a dream, a pair of new slippers that are
elongated like a boat means tight circumstances and debts. Slippers in a dream
also represent money which is earned from a foreign country or from an import
and export business. If slippers in a dream are interpreted to mean protection,
then losing them in a dream could mean loss of one’s job. If they are interpreted
to mean religion, then losing them in a dream means relief from difficulties, or
an end to one’s trials. Wearing a pair of simple slippers in a dream means taking

Muhammad
(God’s Prophet Muhammad, blessings and peace be upon him; The
Seal of the prophets; The last Messenger) It is related that God’s Messenger,
upon whom be peace, has said: “One who sees me in a dream will see me in his
wakefulness, for Satan cannot impersonate me. ”He also has said: “One who sees
me in a dream, it is as if he has truly seen me, for Satan cannot impersonate me. ”
He also has said: “One who sees me in a dream will not enter the fire of hell. ”
Muslim theologians and scholars differ in opinion about the meaning of seeing
God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream. Imam Ibn Seerin used to ask someone who
tells of such a dream to describe the Prophet, upon whom be peace. If any of the
details did not fit his description, Ibn Seerin’s reply was: “You have not seen
him.” Asim Bin Kulayb once said: “I related to Ibn Abbas, God bless his soul and
that of his father, that I saw God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream. Ibn Abbas replied:
“Describe him to me.” Asim Bin Kulayb added: “I described him as resembling
Al-Hassan son of‘Ali, upon both of them be peace.” Ibn Abbas replied: “Indeed
you have seen him.” Ibn ‘Arabi once explained that the essence of seeing God’s
Prophet (uwbp) is cognizance of his presence and understanding the reality of
his character and example. Thus, recognizing the presence of the blessed being
is as affirmation of the truth, while seeing the physical form represents his
example and attributes, for being earthly does not change the essence of
prophethood. When God’s Prophet (uwbp) said: “He will see me in wakefulness,”
it means: ‘Expounding upon what he saw,’ for what one sees in such a dream is
the truth which resides in the realms of the unseen. In the second saying, when
God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, said: “It is as if he has truly seen me,” it
means that if one had seen him during the time of delivering God’s massage, the
example will be the same. Thus, the first saying signifies what is real and true
while the second saying implies the physical reality and its example. If one sees
God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, coming toward him in a dream, it means
blessings and benefits, and if one sees God’s prophet (uwbp) turning away from
him in a dream, it means the opposite. Al-Qadi ‘Iyad, God bless his soul, in¬
terpreted the words of God’s Prophet (uwbp) in his saying: “Has truly seen me,"
to mean: “has truly seen my physical form,” that the blessed companions knew,
while seeing him in another form in a dream means that one’s dream connotes
personal interpretations. Following the explanation of Al-Qadi ‘Iyad, Imam Al-
Nawawi commented by saying: “This is a weak explanation. A stronger inter¬
pretation is to say that one who sees God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream has seen
him in reality however his resemblance may appear. Whether the resemblance
in the dream is known or not.” In a separate commentary, Shaikh Al-Baqlani
added: “What Al-Qadi ‘Iyad has said does not contradict what Imam Al-Nawawi
has said.” This is because the first dream does not require interpretation,
according to Al-QadI ‘Iyad. In the second type of dream, that is discussed in
Imam Al-Nawawi’s comments, one’s dream does require interpretation or
analysis. This is to mean that since no Satan can impersonate God’s Prophet
(uwbp), then whatever appearance he displays in one’s dream is true. The
meaning of God’s prophet’s saying: “For Satan cannot impersonate me, ” implies
that since God’s guardianship (Isma ) is inviolable, and since God’s Prophet,
upon whom be peace, is sacrosanct, then as he was protected during the time
of delivering God’s message to humanity, he is still protected by the same
guardianship after God Almighty took him back to Himself. Thus, whoever sees
God’s Prophet (uwbp) in any appearance in a dream, it is as if has seen him in
reality, regardless whether one sees him as a young man, or at the time of
delivering his message, or as an old person. If one sees him looking old in a
dream, it means peace. If one sees him looking young in a dream, it means war.
If one sees him smiling in a dream, it means that one is truly emulating his
traditions. Seeing God’s Prophet (uwbp) in his known and recognized appear¬
ance in a dream means that the one seeing the dream is a pious person, that his
integrity is inviolable, and that his success is unquestionable. Seeing him
(uwbp) in a dream frowning represents the ill state of the one seeing the dream.
Ibn Abi Jumrah once said: “Seeing Him (uwbp) in a beautiful appearance
denotes the good religious standing of the person seeing the dream. Seeing him
with some disfeatures in a dream, a deficiency or distortion in one’s application
of his religious duties, for God’s Prophet (uwbp) is like a mirror that portrays
the one standing before it.” In this sense, the person seeing the dream can
recognize his own state. This interpretation is also given by Ibn Hajar Al-Hutaymi,
God bless his soul. Like that, in the book of ‘Sharh al-Shama-il’ of Imam Al-
Tirmithi, it is also stated that Satan cannot impersonate God Almighty, His
signs, prophets or angels. If someone suffering from distress sees God’s Prophet
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that his difficulties will be removed. If a prisoner
sees him in a dream, it means that he will be released form prison. If one is living
at a time of economic chaos, and if high prices are exploiting the people of the
land, or if injustice is tyrannizing everyone, then seeing God’s Prophet, upon
whom be peace, in a dream represents an end to such adversities. Seeing him
in his beautiful, radiant and impeccable appearance as best described by his
companions in a dream means glad tidings of attaining a successful conclusion
to one’s life in this world and in the hereafter. The state and clarity of one’s heart
and how well polished is his own mirror determines in what appearance he may
see him, upon whom be peace. If God’s Prophet (uwbp) comes toward someone
in a dream, or leads him in prayers, or if one sees himself accompanying him
on the road, or if one eats something sweet from his blessed hand, or receives
a cloak, or a suitable shirt, or if God’s Prophet promises him something, or prays
for him, then if the one seeing the dream qualifies for leadership, and if he is
a righteous and a just man who commands what is good and forbids what is evil,
and if he is learned and practices what he knows, and if he is a pious worshipper
and a devout Muslim, he will then attain the station and company of the blessed
ones. If the one who sees the dream is a disobedient servant of God Almighty,
it means that he will repent for his sins and return to his Lord. If he is living
in heedlessness, it means that he will be guided. Perhaps, he might attain his
goals in acquiring knowledge, or learn how to reconstruct his innermost being
to befit a human being who is grateful to his Lord. If one is fearing oppression,
persecution, or loss of his property and wealth sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it
means putting an end to such fears, for he is the best of intercessors to restore
anyone before God Almighty. If one who follows innovations sees God’s Prophet
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that he should fear God Almighty, heed to His
warnings and correct himself and particularly if he sees Him (uwbp) walking
away from him, or turning his back to him. Seeing God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a
dream also means receiving glad tidings and happy news, or it could signify
justice, establishing the truth, fulfillment of a promise, reaching a high rank
among the members of one’s family, or perhaps it could mean that one may suffer
from their envy and jealousy, or leave his homeland and migrate to another
country, or it could mean that he may lose his parents and become an orphan.
Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also could mean seeing miraculous events
( Karamat ), for his companions witnessed and testified to a deer greeting him,
a camel who kissed his foot, the broiled leg of mutton talking to him, trees
moving to give him cover, pebbles glorifying God’s praises in his hand, among
countless miracles, including his Nocturnal Journey and ascension ( Miraj ) to
the heavens to meet his Lord. If an ophthalmologist sees him in a dream, it
means that he will acquire great expertise in his field and become renowned in
the land, for God’s prophet upon whom be peace, did return the eye of his
companion Qutadah to its place and made his sight sharper than it was by God’s
leave, after Qutadah had lost his eye during one of the battles with the
unbelievers. If a traveller in the desert sees God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream,
or if there is drought somewhere, it means that rain will fall and springs will
gush forth, as water gushed from between his blessed fingers when he placed
his blessed hand over a half filled cup to quench the thirst of an entire army.
If calamities, starvation and drought has befallen a land and someone sees Him
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that such calamities will be lifted and life will return
to normal in that place. If a woman sees him in a dream, it means that she will
reach a high spiritual station, honor, righteousness, chastity, trustworthiness
and perhaps be given a blessed progeny, or if she is wealthy, it means that she
will spend her wealth on God’s path. Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also means
facing adversities, bearing patience and suffering from one’s enemy. If an
orphan sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it means that he will reach an exalted
station and the same goes if a foreigner sees him in his dream. If a physician
sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it means that people will benefit from his medicine.
Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also means victory over one’s enemy, or consolidating
and paying one’s debts, or recovering from an illness, or attending a pilgrimage
to God’s House in Mecca, or triumphing over one’s trials, or cessation of one’s
adversities, or fertility of a barren land, or the pregnancy of a barren woman.
If a visitor to his mosque sees himself in a dream coming before God’s Prophet
(uwbp) and finds him standing up, it denotes one’s correct religious standing,
and it means that he will have commanding authority over the Imam of his time.
If one finds him (uwbp) deceased in the dream, it means that a noble person from
the family of the person seeing the dream will shortly die. If one sees the funeral
of God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream, it means that a calamity will befall that
country. Following his funeral procession up to his grave (uwbp) in a dream
means that the person seeing the dream will yield to innovations. Visiting his
grave (uwbp) in a dream means receiving a great treasure. If one sees himself
as the son of God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream, and even if one is not one of his
descendents, it denotes one’s sincerity, true faith and certitude. Seeing God’s
Prophet (uwbp) by one person does not exclude the remainder of the believers,
but the blessings encompass all of them. Receiving something from him (uwbp)
such as food or a drink in a dream means benefits and profits. If one receives
food which substance connotes negative circumstances, such as a melon or the
like elements in a dream, it means that one will escape from a great danger,
though he will toil and suffer from hardships during his trials. If one sees that
one of the limbs that belong to God’s Prophet (uwbp) has become his own in a
dream, it means that he is following innovation and making changes in the laws
God’s Prophet (uwbp) brought to humankind. If one sees himself in a dream
embodying the form of God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, or wearing one of
his garments, or receives his ring, or sword, then if the person is seeking to
govern, he will attain that and the people will accept his leadership. If one is
suffering from persecution, or humiliation in the land, then seeing God’s
Prophet (uwbp) standing in a dream means that God Almighty will grant him
victory and make him rise above his enemies. If one is poor, his needs will be
satisfied, or if he is unmarried, he will get married. If one sees him (uwbp) in
a ruined place in a dream, it means that such a place will be rebuilt. If one enters
a room and finds him (uwbp) sitting there in a dream, it means that a miraculous
sign, or a major event will take place in such a locality. If one sees him (uwbp)
making the call to prayers in a dream, it means that prosperity will spread in
that place. If one sees him establishing the prayers ( Iqamah ) in a dream, it
means that the Muslims will reunite and dispel their differences. If one sees him
(uwbp) placing kohl over his eyelids in a dream, it means that he will find safety
and correct his religious stand, or it could mean that one will study and become
a scholar in the field of the prophetic sayings ( Ak&dith ). If a pregnant woman
sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it means that she will beget a son. If one sees him
(uwbp) having a black beard with no gray hair in it in a dream, it will bring
happiness, joy and prosperity to one’s life. If God’s Prophet (uwbp) is seen as an

doubtful source. If one sees a fish colony gathering at seabed, where he is fishing,
bringing them up and eating them raw as he pleases, or if he places them into
baskets and divides them into lots in the dream, it means that he will prosper
and invest his wealth in different ventures and savings plans. A whale in a
dream represents the minister of sea life, while the sea itself represents the king
or the country. A whale in a pond with his jaws opened in a dream represents
a prison. A large fish colony in a dream represents despised earnings, or earning
a large amount money one is accountable for its expenditure. Fishing in a well
means homosexuality, or it could represent someone who tries to tempt his
servant or his assistant to indulge in a loathsome act. If one sees himself fishing
in murky waters in a dream, it conveys evil, sorrows, or distress however it may
happen. If one sees himself fishing in clear waters in a dream, it means money
or hearing nice words or conceiving a son, while fishing in salty waters in a
dream means difficulties. If one sees himself fishing with a fishhook in a dream,
it means excitement, pleasure or losing benefits. A soft skin fish in a dream
means benefits for someone intending to trick or to swindle people’s money.
Mostly fishing with a pole and a fishhook in a dream means difficulties or slow

fish or a barbel fish (cyprinus bynni; barbus ) in a dream denote positive benefits
for someone intending marriage or to enter into a business partnership. Seeing
a herring or any of its clupeid type fish in a dream represent evil work or toiling
for something one will never get. A fish in the pond in a dream is also a sign of
benefits, though may be little benefits. Seeing dead fish floating in the water in
a dream has an ominous connotation, or they could represent a hopeless case.
Taking fish from the water and eating them alivemeans profits, or an appointment
to a high raking position in wakefulness. In a dream, if a sick man or a traveller
finds fish in his bed it also connotes bad or a painful sickness or suffering from
arthritis, or he may drown because he would be sleeping with them. Seeing sea
fish covered with salt in a dream means lasting richness, because fish are
preserved in salt, or it could mean burdens. If one’s wife is pregnant and he sees
a fish coming out of his male organ in a dream, it means that his wife will beget
a son. If a fish comes out of his mouth, then it means speaking ill of a woman.
A fried fish in a dream means that one’s prayers will be answered. A broiled fish
in a dream means travels or seeking knowledge. A large fish in a dream means
money, while a small fish means difficulties, burdens and stress, because it
carries more spikes than meat, beside, small fish are more difficult to eat. Mixed
sized of different kinds offish in a dream represent money, trouble, liking social
events or mixing with all types of people, the good and the bad ones. Buying a
fish in a dream may mean marriage. Eating a rotten fish in a dream means
pursuing adultery and avoiding a lawful marriage. If one sees himself attempting
painstakingly to catch a whale in a small pond in a dream, it means money that

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
means ease in attaining his goals, exposing secrets, unveiling hidden past,
reviewing old books or redistributing an old inheritance. If one sees fish that
have the look ofhuman beings in a dream, it means business, trading or meeting
with an interpreter, or a translator, or associating with people of good character.
If such fish with a human face look beautiful, then one’s companions are good.
Otherwise, if the fish look ugly in the dream, then it means that he has
associated himself with evil companions. If one sees an aquarium in his house
filled with all types of catfish, or angelfish or similar fish that live in a home
aquarium in a dream, it means being charitable or taking care of orphans or
adopting children. If one sees himself reaching with his hand to the bottom of
the seabed to catch fish in a dream, it means that he will acquire extensive
knowledge in his profession and prosper from his trade. Otherwise, it could
mean that one will become a spy. If the sea opens and unveils its treasures, and
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
in a dream also means receiving easy, lawful and enjoyable earnings. (Also see

Torah
Reciting the Torah but not recognizing what it is in a dream means that
one may become a fatalist. To own a copy of the Torah for a king or ruler in a
dream means that he will conquer a land or make peace with its people on his
terms. If he is learned in real life, it means that either his knowledge will
increase or that he will invent what is not ordained, or he may tend to lean
toward jovial company. Seeing the Torah in a dream also means finding what
is lost, welcoming a long awaited traveller, or it could represent someone who
follows the Jewish faith. As for an unmarried person, owning a Torah in a dream
means getting married to a woman from a different religion, or it could mean
marrying a woman without her parents’ consent. Seeing the Torah in a dream
also may mean extensive travels. If one’s wife is pregnant, it means that she will
bear a child who resembles his father. If one’s wife is pregnant, and if he sees
himself holding the Torah in a dream, it means that she will beget a daughter,
for the gender of the word Torah is feminine. It also means that he will mix with
evil companions. Similar interpretations are given to carrying other scriptures.
To see the Torah, or the Evangel, or the Gospel in a dream is as though one has
seen God’s Prophet Muhammad, upon whom be peace, because his name (uwbp)
is mentioned in all three of them. It could also mean betrayal, negating a
covenant, or desiring what is shoddy.

Snow
Snow in a dream means profits, or it could mean a cure for an illness. If snow
and fire coexist beside one another in a dream, they represent love, passion and
companionship. If one sees snow in its season, then it means washing away one’s
difficulties and exposing one’s enemies or jealous companions. Seeing snow in
other than wintertime in a dream means an illness, paralysis, or obstacles
hindering one’s travel plans, or it could mean sufferings, swearing, or deceit. A
heavy snow storm in a dream means oppression, while a light snowfall or
flurries mean benefits to one’s town. Melting snow in a dream means dispersal
of agony, or it could mean the end of depression. Like rain, snow in a dream is
a sign of divine mercy and a good harvest. When heavy, it represents a calamity,
and when light, it is a blessing. Standing under a snowfall in a dream signifies
enemy blows. (Also see Snowball)
