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

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

a deceased person writes it in one’s dream, it means that such a person dwells
encompassed with God’s mercy. If the one who wrote it in the dream is alive and
if he erases it or if a bird steals it from him in the dream, it means the nearing
of his death and exhaustion of his sustenance in this world. If one recites it

strength, dignity and valor. Applying henna dye to one’s head and not to one’s
beard in a dream means emulating the traditions of God’s Prophet, upon whom
be peace. To dye both the head and the beard in a dream means concealing one’s
poverty, though one will keep asking people to pay him respect or to recognize
him in their circles. If one’s hair accepts the dye in the dream, it means regaining
one’s status, though with less emphasis on his pride, or it could mean that he
will make contentment his new ornament or trim. If one uses a dye other than
what is commonly used, and if it works in the dream, it means that he will be
saved from an adverse condition through miraculous events. If the new dye does
not work in the dream, it means that his true nature will be exposed and he will
have no solutions to protect himself from defamation or public abuse. If he tries
to dyes his hair with dry henna clay, and if his hair still accepts it in the dream,
it means that he is an ignorant person, though he will ultimately repent for his
sins, amend his actions and improve himself. If a woman sees her hands dyed

dream, it means that he will be struck with family problems. A dyed hand in a
dream means hardship in making ends meet. If one dips his hand into a laying
corpse in a dream, it means that he will witness a conspiracy. If one sees his
hands dyed in a dream, it also means that he has reached the end of the rope
with his money or business. If one sees his dyed hands wrapped or bandaged in
a dream, it means that he will lose a trial or a fight with his rivals, or that he
will fail to meet such a challenge again. Dyeing only the finger with henna in
a dream represents branches of dates or clusters of grapes. In general, dyeing
one’s hands with henna or one’s hair with regular dye as a makeup in a dream
represents joy for the husband and wife as long as they do not exceed the norms.
Dyeing one’s hands and feet in a dream means redecorating one’s house. If a poor
person sees himself dyeing his hands or hair in a dream, it means that he will

Quran or during other ritual occasions where he is required to have ablution
before proceeding. It could also mean that he cares little about attending his
prayers. As for women, dyeing means happiness, new clothing, receiving gold,
or a wedding celebration. If the dye exceeds the required surface of the hands
or the feet in the dream, it means being struck with fear and worries caused by
one’s business or friends. If a man sees himself in a dream dyeing his hair or
beard with other than henna, it means that he will suffer from what he fears
most. Dyeing or suppressing one’s feelings for a sick person means recovering
from his ailment. Dyeing one’s hair black in a dream means hiding one’s bad
conditions, spoiling the benefits of one’s deeds, or hiding one’s evil intentions.
This is taken from the practice of Egypt’s Pharaoh who sometimes dyed his hair
black, thus trying to hide his appearance and ignorance.

on such a day means one’s death. Standing up awaiting one’s judgement on the
Day of Resurrection in a dream means travels. If one sees himself and his wife
being the only people who are brought for judgement of the grand Day of
Gathering in a dream, it means that he is being unjust. If a warrior sees the Day
of Resurrection in a dream, it means that by God’s decree, the aggressor shall
be defeated. The land of the grand gathering in a dream represents a chaste
woman or a noble man. The blowing of the Trumpet of Resurrection in a dream
represents the salvation of the righteous ones. Seeing any of the great ex¬
traordinary events or signs that shall precede the Day of resurrection in a dream
means glad tidings for a believer who does good, and a warning for a disbeliever
to correct himself and repent for his sins before its coming. Seeing the Day of
Resurrection in a dream also denotes that some of the major signs are actually
taking place, such as blood shedding, spread of evil, belligerence of atheism,
pride about wealth, ruling of the working class, building high rises, the end of
the era of kings on earth, or it could remind the person of the prophesied signs,
such as the rising of the sun from the West, the emergence of a beast that will
speak with a human tongue, the rising of the Imposter (arb. Dajjal. Antichrist),
etcetera. Seeing the Day of Resurrection in a dream also represents the spread
of evil, the presence of an extended police force, and the ruling of large armies
and dictatorships around the world. Thus, seeing the Day of Resurrection in a
dream is a reminder and a warning to the one who sees it. If one sees the graves
splitting open, dead people resurrected back to life and are walking out of them
accompanied with their angels in a dream, it means that justice will prevail in
that land. If one experiences the resurrection in a dream, then discovers that
the world went back to continue its prior course , it means that justice will
dominate that land for a while, then it will be followed by a tyranny that will
be carried by people who are not even suspected to be of such character. Such
a dream also could be interpreted to suit a person who is seeking the impossible,
or one who is adamant at pursuing the path of wrongdoing, falsehood and lies.
Recognizing the eminent final signs of the Day of Reckoning in a dream means
that one is unaware of his heedlessness and such dream constitutes a warning.
If one’s reckoning is easy in a dream, it denotes his wife’s piety, compassion and
love for him. If one’s reckoning is detailed and painful in a dream, then it
represents major losses. If one’s good deeds weigh heavier than his bad deeds
in the dream, it means that his devotion is true and that his reward will be
greater. If one sees himself carrying the scale to weigh his own deeds in a dream,
it denotes his righteousness and correctness. If one sees an angel handing him
his records and telling him to read his own book in the dream, it also means that
he is on the right path. Walking on the bridge of the Day of Judgment, carrying
one’s own records and crying in a dream means that one is praying for God’s
forgiveness and to ease his reckoning. If one sees the Doomsday in a dream, it
means that he will escape from dangerous enemies, or that perhaps a major trial
will befall the dwellers of that place. If one crosses the Bridge of Judgement in
a dream, it means that he will escape a major trial, or perhaps it could represent
a major hurdle one may have to cross in this life. If one sees himself carrying
his book of records in his right hand in a dream, it means that he will win
righteousness, wealth and honor. If one sees himself carrying his book of records
in his left hand in a dream, it means that he will fall into sin and the consequent
poverty and need of others, for wealth and adultery do not mix. If one witnesses
the emergence of the Imposter ( Antichrist ) in a dream, it signifies new trends,
innovations and masses straying from the straight path. (Also see Intercession;
Reckoning; Rising of the dead; Trumpet of Resurrection)

Reckoning
(Day of Reckoning; Doomsday; Resurrection) Seeing the reckoning of
a deceased person in a dream denotes his sufferings in the hereafter. If a
traveller is asked to account for his travel expenses, and if he is treated with
kindness during the reading of his report in the dream, it means profits from
his journey and a safe return to his homeland. If one reckons himself in a dream,
it means that he will repent for his sins. If one is brought for judgment on the
day of reckoning, and if his questioning is made easy in the dream, it means that
God has blessed him to marry a pious wife who has love and compassion for him,
and who cares about his interests. If his questioning is strict and detailed in the
dream, it means that he will incur losses. If a person sees himself questioned,
probed and investigated in a court by people he does not recognize in the dream,
it means that he has strayed into innovation, and that he will remain accountable
for his actions. If he sees them well dressed and fragrant, congratulating him
and greeting him with the salutation of peace: “As-Salamu Alaikum", then it
is an indication of his righteousness and good deeds. (Also see Intercession; Reading;
Resurrection)

Rooster
(Fighter) In a dream, a rooster represents the man of the house and a
chicken represents the lady of the house. If one is offered a rooster in a dream,
it means that he will beget a son who will spend his life serving others. A rooster
in a dream also represents a man of bad character who also mixes serious talk
with joking, and whose words carry no weight. A rooster in a dream also
represents a servant who has compassion toward his master. Receiving a rooster
as a gift in a dream means making peace with a friend. If one sees himself
slaughtering a rooster in a dream, it means that he does not heed the call to
prayers. A rooster hence represents the caller to prayers. Seeing a rooster in a
dream also denotes increase in one’s wisdom and knowledge, or frequenting the
circles of knowledge. If one becomes a rooster in a dream, it means that he may
die shortly, or it could mean that he will become knowledgeable about setting
a timetable for the daily prayers. A rooster in a dream also represents a
preacher, a reader of sermons, a singer, a maii who commands good but does not
practice it, a sexually obsessed person, a broker, a guard, a generous man, a man
with good will and determination, or a man with a large family who gives
preference to helping others, and contents himself with little.

Ocean
(Government) The element of ocean in a dream represents a prison where
sea lives are incarcerated, and it means losses, fear, despair, limitless knowledge,
a city without walls, or the world, its trials and wonders. An ocean or a sea in a
dream also represents a strong ruler who is just, compassionate toward his
subjects and whom people revere, have access to, and seek for their daily needs.
If a businessman sees an ocean in a dream, it represents his merchandise. As for
a worker or an apprentice, the ocean in a dream represents his veteran teacher
or master. If one sees the ocean in a dream, it means that he will succeed in his
goals. If one sees himself entering into the ocean or sea in a dream, it means that
he will enter before a ruler, or stand before someone in authority. If one sees
himself sitting or lounging at the sea shore in a dream, it means that he will work
for such a person or a ruler, though he will be observing caution and diplomacy
with him. If one sees himself drinking the entire water of the sea though no one
sees him except the king in a dream, it means that he will reign and live a long
life. Drinking any portion thereof also means equal earnings to what he takes in.
If one sees himself drinking from it to quench his thirst in the dream, it means
riches, strength and longevity. If one sees himself asking for some of its water to
drink in a dream, it means that he is seeking to work for such a strong person or
ruler. If he pours its water in a pitcher in the dream, it means prosperity, or that
he will receive a bounteous gift from God Almighty to encompass a high rank as
well as riches. However, his status will last longer than his money. To drink water
from the sea in a dream means acquiring knowledge and adopting proper conduct.
Crossing the ocean in a dream means booty. If one sees strong waves bringing
seawater to his street without causing damages in a dream, it means that a ruler
or a great person will enter or visit that locality. Bathing in seawater in a dream
means repentance from one’s sins. Seeing the ocean from a distance in a dream
means that calamities, temptations and trials are coming to one’s community. If
one sees the sea receding, whereby he can see the edges of the earth it covers in
a dream, it means diminishing of his authority and control, or that the wrath of
God Almighty has descended upon that locality. This calamity could be carried
by one’s own government, economic tribulations, drought, or one’s enemies.
Standing over seawater in a dream means attaining something one did not seek.
Walking in the air above the seawater in a dream represents the person’s good
intentions, his clarity, faith and certitude. If a sick person sees himself taking
ablution in seawater in a dream, it means that he will recover from his illness,
or it could mean payment of one’s debts and relief from worldly pressures. (Also
see Water)

Porcupine
(Hedgehog) In a dream, a porcupine represents someone who is
constantly depressed, easily annoyed, who quickly gets angry and who has little
compassion. A porcupine in a dream also represents deceit, spying, betraying
someone, hiding, or evil.
Interpreted by Ibn Sirin
Enamored
(Love; Poverty) To see oneself inflamed with love for someone in a
dream represents distress, adversities, blindness, deafness or notoriousness.
Such a case may draw people’s compassion. If a sick person sees himself in a
dream inflamed with love it may mean his death. Fire in a dream also means
love. Love in a dream also means heedlessness and failure to fulfill one’s
religious obligations. It also means financial losses, losing one’s child, divorce,
despise of one’s friends, hunger, travels, sickness or dangers. Being enamored
with God in a dream means a strong devotion and certitude. Pretending to be
in love in one’s dream means straying from God’s path. If one finally reaches his
beloved to mates with in the dream, it means that adversities may strike at him,
or affect his or her beloved. (Also see Love)

Physician
(Mother) A physician in a dream represents a wise man, or a religious
doctor. A physician in a dream also represents a scholar, and a scholar in a
dream represents a physician. If one sees a physician examining him in a dream,
it means an improvement in his health condition. If one sees a religious scholar
advising him in a dream, it means that hypocrisy and doubt will be dispelled
from his heart. A physician in a dream also represents one’s mother, or he could
be an opponent, or an adversary. The death of one’s physician in a dream means
the death of one’s mother. If a sick person sees a physician visiting him in a
dream, it means that he will recover from his illness. If a physician visits a
healthy person in a dream and write a prescription for him, it means that he will
fall sick. Seeing or visiting a physician in a dream means exposing one’s secrets,
for a physician works to extract the patient’s illness just like a snake charmer
who brings a snake out of its hiding. A physician in a dream also represents a
garbage collector, a street cleaner, a spy, a backbiter, or a fighter who sometime
wins and sometime loses. To see oneself as a physician in a dream means
attaining a high ranking position, or becoming a policeman, or a commander
who controls people’s livelihood. A physician in a dream also represents some¬
one who provides spiritual as well as practical guidance, a social reformer, a
judge, a preacher, a teacher, a tanner, or a copper. If one sees a just and a well
known judge as a physician in a dream, it means that his compassion and
welfare will encompass everyone in that locality. If one sees a known physician
as a judge or a wise man in a dream, it means that one will become renowned,
his status will rise and he will become a celebrated pioneer in his field. If he is
not known to be a righteous physician, then it means that one will be visited with
adversities, or it could mean that someone will die from malpractice, or it could
mean persevering with daring attempts do increase one’s business at the
expense of people’s lives. If one sees a physician selling coffins or folded shrouds
in a dream, one should be suspicious of him in wakefulness even if people are
fascinated by his charm. If one sees a physician working as a tanner in a dream,
it shows the physicians ingenuity, knowledge of his trade and the many people
who recover from their illness at his hand. The exception to that is when the tan
is spoiled, or if it has a stench, or if it is ineffective in the dream, then it means
that such a physician is a crafty swagger.

Column
(Pillar; Post) In a dream, a column represents one’s religion. If one sees
a column descending from the firmament in a dream, it means a divine favor and
a blessing to have a just, compassionate and a forbearing ruler in that land. If
one is hit with a post, or if he uses it to beat someone in a dream, it means hearing
or exchanging harsh words that describe the quality of the one who is struck.
If one sees himself leaning against a pillar that he bought or which is given to
him in his dream, it means that he will rely upon an old woman for his livelihood,
or that he will marry an old woman. A column in a dream also represents a friend
one can depend on. A leaning column in a dream represents a worker who cheats
his employer, disobeys him and who is a hypocrite. If a worker sees a leaning
post in his dream, it means that his employer will lean toward kindness and
appreciation of his workers. Columns in a dream also represent important and
strong men who are capable of managing their responsibilities. Owning a
column or becoming a column in a dream, and if one qualifies, it means that he
will become a leader of his community, a pillar in his own field, or a beacon of
knowledge and a pillar of wisdom who is sought by knowledge seeking people.
If one becomes a pillar in a dream, it also could mean his death, or it could mean
crying. A pillar in a dream also represents a father, a son, money, capital, a
partner, a vehicle, one’s wife or a leader. A marble column in a dream represents
a great wealth, a great man, or a great woman. A column made from granite in
a dream represents someone who despises himself. If it is from stone, it means
fast changing conditions. If it is a wooden column in the dream, then it
represents a hypocrite. The pillars of a mosque represent the Imam, the
muezzin, the servants and the people who pray in it. (Also see Base)

Bathhouse
(Sauna; Steam room; Sweat room; Rest room) Washing one’s dirt with
hot water in a dream brings benefits. If one builds a bathhouse in his dream,
it means committing a sin or searching for a woman to partake in it, then
suffering its consequence. If the bathhouse is heated and the water is lukewarm
in the dream, it represents his family’s compassion toward him, trying to help
him out of his breach. If the bathhouse is cold and if its water is cold in the dream,
it means that his family has ostracized or banished him. If one witness the hot
water pipes breaking, whereby he could not control the flow of water in the
dream, it means that someone will betray him with his wife, though he will keep
trying to control the situation, but to no avail. A water leak from the boiler that
flows through the floors of the bathing quarters in a dream means incurring the
anger of one’s wife. Entering a bathhouse in a dream means suffering from a
fever. Drinking hot water directly from the boiler in a dream means sickness,
stress, depression and a scare from evil spirits. If one sees himself drinking cold
refreshing water from the regular water tab in a dream, it means comfort and
joy. Taking abath with cold water in a dream means recovering from an illness.
A bathhouse in a dream also represents hell-fire, and the attendant represents
its keepers. A bathhouse in a dream also represents the judge’s court, and its
attendant represents the judge himself. A bathhouse in a dream also represents
a prison and its guard, the ocean and the ship pilot, the evil bawdy houses and
their dwellers, a woman and a pimp, or a cadet posing as her husband. If one
goes to a public bath, then after completing his wash wears a white garment,
and takes a carriage back home in his dream, it means that he will shortly die
and the elements of his dream represent his washing, shrouding, coffin and
funeral. The element of a bathhouse in a dream also represent a library,
knowledge, guard’s post, house of worship, a mosque, a church, idol worship, a
prison, or a marketplace. It also represents repentance, guidance, richness,
healing, an ocean or marriage. If one sees himself taking a bath with his clothe
on in a dream, it means that he will fall prey to an attractive prostitute who will
deceive him and lead him to commit his religious life to waste. (Also see Bath;
Bathroom; Hell-fire; Turkish bath)

Pine
(Seeds; Terebinth; Tree) Pine trees and their fruit in a dream mean
loneliness and bewilderment during travels. Climbing a pine tree in a dream
means triumph, success and hearing good news. Pine nuts in a dream represent
the pine tree itself. A pine nut in a dream also represents a renowned person
who has a noble character, a godly person who is respected, holy but poor, or it
could represent someone who has little to offer, or a person who shelters thieves
out of compassion. The same interpretation applies to owls and crows. Building
a door for one’s house from pine wood in a dream means hiring a servant or a
doorman who has little politeness and who is filled with foolish ideas. If a
merchant or a businessman builds such a door in a dream, it means that he will
unknowingly employ a thief.

Omar
(The commander of the believers, Omar bin Al-Khattab. may God be pleased
with him.) Seeing him in a dream means longevity, trustworthiness and praise¬
worthy deeds. One who sees him in a dream will speak the truth, be just and call
people to the straight path. He also may be able to attend to the Sacred House
in Mecca in an auxiliary pilgrimage ( Umrah ). If one shakes hands with Omar bin
Al-Khattab in a dream, it means that he will prosper and live a pious life, and he
will be a vigilant and a strong believer, the value of whose deeds will surpass his
fame. If one sees him frowning in a dream, it means that Omar is calling for
justice, commanding what is good and forbidding what is evil. If there is a drought
in a town and one sees Omar in a dream, it means that rain will fall and be a
blessing for that land. If there is tyranny in that land and one sees Omar in his
dream, it means that justice will prevail. If Omar hits someone with a stick, or
warns him, or threatens him in a dream, it means that one must renounce the
course of his current actions or deviation from God’s path, or perhaps that
someone in authority or a scholar will persecute him. If one sees himself being
Omar in a dream, or if he wears one of his garments in a dream, it means that
he will be awarded honor, a dignified status, or die as a martyr. If one sees Omar
smiling in a dream, it means that he follows the correct precepts of God’s
Messenger, upon whom be peace, and emulates his practices. Seeing him in a
dream also means that justice and truth will prevail in his time, or that he is a
trustworthy person, or that the propagation of truth is prominent in his time.
Seeing him in a dream also could mean signing a peace treaty with one’s enemy,
annihilating hatred with love, good luck with one’s in-laws, renouncing one’s
attachment to worldly things, though being capable of winning it, or presiding
over people with justice, love and compassion.

Dream interpreter
In a dream, a dream interpreter represents happiness for a sad
person and sorrow for a happy person. If one who desires to maintain secrecy
around his life and goals sees a dream interpreter in his dream, it means that
he will find an intimate friend or a confidant to complete his intention. If one
is expecting news from an associate or if someone in a different land sees a dream
interpreter in his dream, it means that he will receive the desired news. A dream
interpreter in a dream also represents knowledge of sings, deciphering mes¬
sages, analyzing substances, a tracer, a religious scholar, a lawyer, a good
advisor, a compassionate friend, a judge or a physician. A dream interpreter in
a dream also represents someone who does not keep a secret or someone who
brings people both happy or sad news. In a dream, he is also a preacher, an
advisor, one who balances things, a money changer, a garment cleaner, an
undertaker, a barber, a comedian, a news broadcaster or someone who searches
for people’s faults. Seeing oneself as a dream interpreter in a dream, and if one
qualifies to sit on the bench, it means that he will become a judge. If he is seeking
knowledge, he will acquire it. If he is seeking to become a physician, he will
become one. Otherwise, he might become a money changer, a banker or any of
the earlier mentioned trades. Telling a dream interpreted a dream in one’s
dream, and if the explanation agrees with the common wisdom and religious
norms of the Holy Quran and the traditions of God’s Prophet, upon whom be
peace, then whatever one is told in his dream is true. If one does not understand
the explanation of the dream interpreter in his dream, then he might need to
find a qualified interpreter in wakefulness to satisfy his needs. (Also see As¬
trologer; Divination; Fortuneteller; Founder; Interpretation; Seer)

Prophet
In a dream, each one of God’s prophets, upon all of them be peace and
blessings, is like a compassionate father toward his son, who is trying to save
his child from the hell of this world and the hell-fire in the hereafter. In a dream,
a prophet also represents a teacher, a tutor, a shaikh, a warning, or glad tidings.
If one sees them standing in a stately form, or if one prays behind them, or
follows them on the road, or eats something from their delicious food, or drinks
from their drink, or if one is anointed with their perfume, or learns something
from them, or acquires a particular knowledge from them in a dream, it
demonstrates his trueness, faith in God’s oneness, following His Messenger and
being faithful to his traditions. Otherwise, if one walks before them, or leads
them into a narrow lane, or stones them, or mocks them, or argues with them
in a dream, it means that he is an innovator and a heedless person. This could
also mean that he will be persecuted by his superiors, for a prophet in a dream
also represents a ruler or a king, and God’s prophets are in truth the guardians
of the souls, and they are kings in this world and in the hereafter. A prophet in
a dream also represents a religious scholar, because religious scholars are the
heirs of the prophets, upon all of them be peace. Religious scholars also know
God’s prophets better than the common people. They understand their message
and follow their traditions of glorifying God’s Oneness, devotion, piety, prayers,
charity, acting upon what they know and admonishing others to follow the path
of truth and righteousness. A prophet in a dream also represents one’s superior,
a preacher, a righteous Imam, a conscientious teacher and a caller to God
Almighty. Seeing any of God’s prophets looking gracious, stately and courtly in
a dream also represents his people’s devotion, or that a major and a positive
change will take place among his followers. If such a prophet looks spurious,
unhappy in a dream, or if he appears in a state that does not befit God’s prophets,
it means that his followers in the world have deviated from his path and created
their own religion, opposing his commands, falsifying and interpreting his
message to their own liking and abusing his admonition. If one claims to be a
prophet in a dream, it means that he will become known in his field, or if he
qualifies, he may become a ruler, a judge, a teacher or a caller to God Almighty,
commanding what is good and forbidding what is evil. Otherwise, it means that
he will be inflicted with a great calamity because of a falsehood he fosters, or
innovations he practices. If one becomes a messenger in a dream or a caller to
God Almighty, and if someone hearkens to him and accepts his message in the
dream, it means that he will rise in rank. Otherwise, it means that he will
become a broker, a liar, a defrauder, a swagger, depending on his level of
knowledge, or it could mean that he will be struck with a major calamity in his
life. Such a calamity will be of the same caliber, degree and nature that a
messenger of God Almighty may have suffered from his own people. Seeing one
of God’s prophets in a dream also means living the experience of time, space and
condition in which he saw him in the dream. Wearing the cloak of one of God’s
prophets in a dream means attaining one’s goals, or presiding over people, or
acquiring true knowledge. Consequently, one will become renowned, revered
and his opinions will be respected by most people. If one becomes a prophet in
a dream, it means that he will die as a martyr, or become poor and be gifted with
patience and endurance. He will then be granted victory, and God willing, all
his needs will be satisfied. Emulating the devotion of a prophet in a dream
means trueness in one’s faith, compliance with God’s religion, certitude and
determination. Becoming one of God’s prophets, upon all of them be peace and
blessings, in a dream means commanding good and forbidding evil, suffering
from adversities and distress equal to those endured by such a prophet, then one
will escape from destruction or humiliation by God’s leave and through His
subtle kindness. If one sees a prophet suffering from poverty and asking for help
in a dream, it means that God Almighty will satisfy all the needs of the person
seeing such a dream for the sake of the blessings reserved for that prophet. If
one kills a prophet in a dream, it means that he will betray a trust, negate a
promise, or deny a covenant. Living in the time of one of God’s prophets on earth
in a dream means honor, dignity, success, piety and wealth if one is suited for
such gifts. Otherwise, it means that Satan is deceiving him. If a prophet of God
Almighty beats a righteous and a sincere believer in a dream, it means that he
will attain peace and salvation in his life in the hereafter. If a prophet talks to
someone in a dream, it means that he will receive blessings, honor, status,
knowledge, wisdom and fame in his life. (Also see Muhammad, upon whom be
peace.)

Tooth
Teeth in a dream represent one's identity, age, clan, a boy, a girl, his
family, money, servants, domestic animals, employees, weapons, life, death,
unity, separation, trusts, or savings. In a dream, male's or female's upper teeth
represent the male members of one's family from the father's side, and the teeth
ofthe lowerjaw represent the female members of one's family from the mother's
side. The closer the teeth are to the incisor, the closer is the relative. Divided
in two sections, the upper right incisor represents the father, and the upper left
incisor represents the paternal uncle, or it could represent one's sisters, sons,
or a close friend. The upper canines represent one's cousin. or two friends who
are as close as cousins. The bicuspids represent one's uncles from the mother's
side and their children, while the molars represent the grandparents and the
grand children. The lower right incisor represents the mother, and the lower left
incisor represents one's aunt from his father's side, or they could represent two
sisters, two daughters, or two close friends who have the same compassion,
concern and love. The lower canines represent one's female cousin from either the father or the mother's side. The lower canine tooth, or the eyetooth
represents the sire of the house, or the landlord. The upper and the lower molars
also represent the furthest members of one's family, including the grandmother
and her grand daughters. If a tooth moves in its place in the dream, it means
an illness. Ifit falls, or if it is lost, then it means death of the person to whom
it is attributed, or it could possibly mean that he will be separated from him and
can no longer see him. If one saves his lost tooth and does not bury it in the
dream, it means that someone will come forth and be to him as good as that
relative. Otherwise, ifhe does bury it, then it means the death of his relative.
(2)ln a dream, the human limbs also represent the members of his family, and
whatever condition they portray in one's dream may become visible in the
members of his family. Similarly, whatever may affect one's teeth in a dream
can be interpreted as affecting such family members. If one's incisors look
beautiful and bright in the dream, they denote the power, honor and prosperity
his father or uncle will gain. If extra incisors grow in one's mouth in a dream,
it means that one's family will grow by either a new born brother or a new son.
Ifone finds his teeth slightly deteriorating in a dream, it means a trial, or that
his family will engage in a disgraceful act that will bring him shame. If one
attempts to pull out his teeth in a dream, it means that he may spend his money
unwillingly, pay a fine, or separate from his parents, thus cutting off his blood
ties, or he may become untrue to his relatives. If one's teeth turn yellow or black
in a dream, such a dream also represents a disgraceful act that will bring shame
upon one'sfamily. Yellow teeth in a dream mean spendingmoney to restore one's
reputation, or it could mean being knowledgeable in one's own esteem. Developing
bad mouth odor in a dream represents bad connotations resulting from praises
one's family may receive. Deteriorating teeth in a dream represent weakness in
one's family. If one sees people biting him in a dream, it means that he could
have pretended something in public, though he fortunately restrained himself.
(31If one's mouth in a dream is interpreted to represent his household, then the
teeth of the right side represent the boys, and those on the left side represent
the girls. On the other hand, the teeth on the right side could represent the older
generation, and the teeth on the left side could represent the younger generation.
The incisors represent the young men in the family, and the canines represent
the young girls. As to the molars, they represent elderly people. If one loses a
molar tooth in a dream, it meansthe death of an elderly person in his household.
(4lHuman teeth in a dream also represent one's business and management of his
life. In that case, the molars represent one's private life, the eyetooth represents
what is semi-public, while the front incisors represent what is openly practiced,
one's public character, words and deeds. Ifone sees his teeth broken in a dream,
it means that he pays his debts slowly. Long teeth in a dream mean enmity or
a fight between members of one's household. If one sees his teeth curved and
deteriorating, and if one decides that it is better to pull them out in a dream,
it means that he will escape from great adversities and dangers. Ifone's teeth
turn gold in a dream, they represent benefits for a teacher or a preacher.
Otherwise, golden teeth for everyone else in a dream mean fire, illness, Candida,
or an illness that is caused by one's bile. Ifone's teeth become glass or wood in
a dream, it means his death. Ifthey turn silver in the dream, it means harm or
losses. If one's front teeth fall and new ones grow instead in the dream, they
represent major changes in one's life. Ifone sees himself forcefully pushing his
tongue against his teeth in a dream, it means that he speaks ill of his own family,
or it could mean problems in one's house. If the crown or the enamel of one's
eyetooth is damaged, or if it falls in a dream, it means the death of one's son.
(')Teeth in a dream represent one's clan, close relatives, or distant cousins. The
molar teeth represent the male members and the incisors represent the female
members. Unnecessarily pulling out one's teeth in a dream means paying a fine, losing one's capital, or severing relationship with members of one's family.
