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

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

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

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

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
dream, they mean both spiritual and material benefits. Long nails at the point
of a near breaking in a dream mean distress, sorrow, fears and depression. If
one's nail becomes a claw in a dream, it means rising against one's enemy and
opposition. If one does not have fingernails in a dream, it means bankruptcy.
If one's fingernails turn yellow, green or blue or if they are broken in the dream,
it means death. Clipping them in a dream means dispelling calamities or
distress. If a thorn or a chip of wooden enters under one's fingernails in a dream,

a little girl, a servant, a friend, or a brother. One's abdomen in a dream means
money, children, relatives or prosperity. If one sees his abdomen being cut open and washed, then stitched back to normal in the dream, it means blessings from
God Almighty, forgiveness for one's sins, and it could mean that one will receive
spiritual guidance. One's abdomen in a dream also denotes his good conduct,
amiable character, blessed enterprises and protection from the evil of the
accursed Satan. If one sees a newborn son or daughter coming out of his
abdomen in a dream, it means that such a child will be born and will grow to
govern that household. As for one's livers in a dream, they represent knowledge, money or children. If a man of knowledge sees his livers flying away from
his body like birds in a dream, it means that he will forget his knowledge, or if
one has children, they may die, or perhaps the government may seize his
property even if he has nothing. If one sees himself eating his own livers in a
dream, it means earning his livelihood. If they are cooked in the dream, then
they represent a lawful income, or they could mean gobbling the property of
one's own children. Ifa liver is removed in a dream, it means the death of a child.
Removing a liver in a dream also could mean injustice. One's kidney in a dream

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

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

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

public knowledge, fame, presidency, laurel of victory, a man of knowledge, an
Imam, or an ascetic who is vigilant and courageous, or a rich and a generous
man, or a strong and a victorious hero whose example is loved and followed. If
the banner is red, then one will reap happiness from the person it represents,
or he may engage in a war against him. As for a woman, a banner in a dream
represents her husband. If one sees banners flying during a parade, they mean
rain. If the banners are black in the dream, they mean that one will meet a man
of knowledge. If the banners are white, then they represent ajealous person who
will never be married. If they are yellow, they represent an epidemic disease.
If they are green, they mean a journey by land. A banner or a flag in a dream
also means that one will be wrapped in ambiguity in relation to a particular
matter and he will not find a way out. If one sees a flag and a brigade in a dream,
it means that he will be able to find his way through the difficulties and
overcome his sadness and adversities. His heart will have peace and his path
will open before him. If the flag represents a country in the dream, it means that

of the society. Such three people will die one after the other. As for a pregnant
woman, a flag in a dream means a son and for an unwed woman, it means a

(Blackboard; Preserved Tablet; Records; Scrolls) Seeing the heavenly
Preserved Tablet in a dream means unveiling one’s actions and thoughts, glad
tidings for someone suffering from adversities, recovering from an illness for an
ailing person, or falling into sin for people whose indulgence in abominable
action is a common way of life. As for godly and righteous people, seeing the
Preserved Tablet in a dream means guidance relating to what God Almighty
has written of commands and prohibitions. As for niggardly people, seeing the

could mean that he will discover a great treasure. As for the tablets that were
revealed to God’s prophet Moses, upon whom be peace, seeing them in a dream represents witnesses,

child, farmland, or finding peace after suffering from fear,
or it could mean knowledge if one is a seeker of such avenues. In general,
all boards in a dream represent admonition or prohibition
of sin. Receiving a writing tablet from an Imam in a dream means an appointment
to leadership, knowledge, understanding, or becoming an Imam, except if what
is written on the blackboard in the dream implies admonition to do good, then
the tablet means guidance and mercy. If the blackboard is made of iron in the
dream, it means that one will beget a son who will become a great scholar and
a strongman. A polished board in a dream means that one’s son will become a
man of courage who accomplishes what he intends, acquires what he wants, and
who will rarely be defeated. If the blackboard is corroded in the dream, it means
that one’s son will have no dynasty. If the blackboard is made of stone in the
dream, it means that his heart will be like a rock. If the blackboard is made of
copper in the dream, it means that one’s son will grow to be a hypocrite. If it is
made of lead in the dream, it means that one’s son will be an effeminate person.
A tablet in a dream also denotes a woman and the writing on it represent her
children, or it could represent an intelligent and a good natured boy who accepts
what he learns from his teacher. Receiving a blackboard from someone in
authority in a dream means gaining power. If a pregnant woman sees a

Poet
(Charmer; Poet; Reciting) A poet reciting his verses in a dream represents
a man who brings peace to people’s hearts, entertains them and dispels anger

Swimming
(Employment; Knowledge; Prison) If a man of knowledge sees himself
swimming in the ocean in a dream, it means that he will attain his goals. If he
enters the water of the ocean then comes back to the shore in a dream, it means
that he will commence his path of seeking knowledge then abandons it.
Swimming in a dream also means going to jail. Swimming on sand in a dream
means that one may be incarcerated, that his living conditions in his jail will
be constricted, and that he will suffer in his prison from hardships equal to the
difficulties he encounters during his swim in the dream. If one sees himself
swimming inside his own house in a dream, it means that he will work for a
ruthless, wicked and an unjust employer who will entrap him in his service
through a business deal. Consequently, God Almighty will help him out of his
entanglements. If one is afraid of swimming in the dream, it means that he is
scared of someone in authority. If he runs away from swimming in a dream, it
means that he will escape from him. If one sees himself entering waters where
he can swim successfully in a dream, it means that he will engage in a major
project, lead an important job, or acquire authority and power. If one swims on
his back in a dream, it means that he will repent for a sin. If he swims in the
sea and finds its water stagnant in the dream, it means that he will serve
someone in authority, though his job will bringhim nothingbut trouble and the
wrath of his employer. If he still manages to cross the sea in his dream, it means
that he will escape from dangers his employment could inflict upon him. If he
swims with fear in a dream, it means trouble, imprisonment, or a sickness he
will endure depending on the type of needed efforts or distance he has to cross.
Should he think in the dream that he will not be able to make it, then it means
his death. If he shows courage during his swim in the dream, it means that he
will be able to escape from such a dangerous job. Troubled waters in a dream
mean adversities. Swimming successfully across troubled waters in a dream
means overcoming one’s adversities. Any sea or agitated waters in a dream
represent the authorities or the state, whether it be a swamp, a lake, a pond,
a sea, or an ocean. If one sees himself drowning in a river, or a lake, then if he
is carried by others and laid on dry land motionless like a fish in a dream, this
also means trials and adversities. If one is saved from drowningbefore he wakes-
up from his sleep in the dream, it means that he will triumph over his trials.
Otherwise, if he dies from it in the dream, it means that he may die from such
adversities. If during his swim one meets a ship that pulls him out of the waters,
or to which he holds or grabs, it also means escape from adversities. If one
drowns in the dream, it means that he may die as a martyr, though having
previously indulged in many sins. To walk on water, whether it is the sea or a
river in a dream means good spiritual standing, religious assiduousness and a
strong faith and determination. Walking on water in a dream also could be
interpreted as ascertaining something about which one may have doubt, or
placing one’s trust in God Almighty before embarking on a dangerous trip. (Also
see Air)

Saker
(Falcon; Hawk) In a dream, a saker means a son, high rank, authority, or
a respected, dignified and awe-inspiring person who comes from noble lineage
though he is unjust. If one sees a saker pursuing him in a dream, it means that
he has incurred the wrath of a strong and a courageous man who does what he
says. Seeing a saker without a fight in a dream means profits, and the same
interpretation applies to most hunting birds or animals. Owning a hunting
saker who is well trained and obedient in a dream means gaining authority, or
becoming unjust and ungodly. Owning a disobedient saker that does not hunt
in a dream means begetting a son who will grow to manhood and be independent.
A saker in a dream also signifies might, rank, victory, attaining one’ goals,
adversities, death, prison, shackles, adornment, or tightening one’s grip on
expenses. A trained saker in a dream also represents an articulate man of
knowledge, verses an untamed saker in the dream.

pleasures and work, except for the mulberry tree, for here it means toiling,

a beard in his dream, it means that he will receive guidance. If a woman grows
a beard in her dream, it means that she is trying to be a man, or it could mean
insolence or engaging in wrongdoing. If a child sees himself having a beard in
a dream, it means longevity. Loving a beard and kissing it in a dream means
lacking determination or will, regardless if it is his own beard or if it is someone
else’s beard. If a straw or anything sticks to one’s beard in a dream, it means
hearing bad words. Shaving half of one’s beard in a dream means losing one’s
source of income or loss of one’s dignity. Holding the beard of one’s uncle in a
dream means unjustly inheriting him. If a woman sees herself having a beard
like a man in a dream, it means that she will never beget children, unless if she
has a reddish beard as the natural color of her hair. However, for a man, to have
a reddish beard in a dream means trials and temptation and particularly if some
gray hair is also mixed with it. (Also see Face; Scissors; Shaving; Twisting a rope)

Bulldozer
In a dream, a bulldozer means leveling things, changing them, changing
one’s profession, moving from one town to another, or it could mean spreading
gossip. A bulldozer in a dream also represents someone who is carrying a
difficult responsibility and who depends on a strong and courageous man to help
him do it.

Plum
In a dream, plums in season represent health and welfare. Otherwise, out
of season, plums represent distress and difficulties. However, everybody draws
benefits from seeing a plum tree in a dream. If one sees himself eating a sweet
and ripened plum in a dream, it means that he will satisfy his pleasures,
passions, and wantonness. If it tastes sour in the dream, then it represents his
fear. A plum tree in a dream also represents a rich person, or a spendthrift who
is also dangerous but courageous when facing adversities, and who may become
wealthy early in his life though he may die young. Eating plum out of season
in a dream means suffering from a severe illness. Plucking a plum from its tree
in a dream means seizing money from a dying person. Plums in a dream also
represent the glad tidings of recovering what is lost if they are good, and a
warningrn about what is evil should it happen again. A plum in a dream also
represents a good brother, or a good looking and a respectable companion. The
same interpretation applies for all types of berries. (Also see Tree)
