Digging
(Excavate) Digging the earth in a dream means profits equal to the
measure of earth one piles-up if the dirt is dry. However, if the ground is wet
in the dream, it means deceiving someone else in a business venture, whereby,
he gains nothing from it but headache and exhaustion equal to the amount of
earth he piles-up. The digger’s plot also may backfire. If a sick person or if
someone in his household who is sick sees himself digging the earth in a dream,
it could mean digging a grave. If a business traveller sees himself digging the
earth, it represents his travels and the dirt he gathers represent his profits.
Digging a hole, a water well or irrigations and planing to water the plants
through them in a dream means looking for a job to earn one’s livelihood and
to bring its benefits to his family. Eating from the dirt one digs in his dream,
means profits earned from deception. Finding oneself inside a hole in a dream
means that one may divorce his wife. If one sees himself outside a hole, looking
at it in a dream, it means an argument with her which will end in reconciliation.
If a sick person sees himself coming out of a hole in a dream, it means recovering
from illness or being set free from prison. If one sees himself digging the earth
in a dream, it also means muddling in falsehood to earn nothing but wrath.
Digging a cavity through a mountain in a dream represents a person who
associates himself with a difficult but a beneficial person. Digging a well in a
dream also represents a crafty and an artful deceiver. A person digging the
ground in a dream also represents a jailer, or veiling abominable actions. (Also
see Pickax; Construction worker)

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.

Pitcher
A pitcher, a jog or any similar container in a dream means repentance for
a sinner. It also means a son for a pregnant woman. A pitcher in a dream also
represents an extremely intelligent child who is recognized to fathom many
hidden secrets. Collecting pitchers in a dream represents good deeds that can
lead one to paradise. A pitcher in a dream also represents a sword. When a
pitcher is highly priced in a dream, it denotes the high rank of the one who is
interested in buying it. A pitcher in a dream also means playfulness, joy or
laughter. A glass pitcher in a dream represents one’s wife, marriage to a rich
and a beautiful woman, a secret affair, or a friend one is proud to have. A glass
pitcher in a dream also represents a spouse who cannot be trusted with a secret,
or someone who is never content to be married or to have children. A pitcher in
a dream also represents a prostitute, or a neighboring woman who is crafty and
unflinching. (Also see Urn)

A thimble in a dream means money, a child, a wife, a young intelligent
worker, a vehicle, travels, or a needed competitor for the better promotion of
one’s business. A thimble in a dream also means dire need, tight circumstances,
difficulties, or perhaps it could represent one who is crafty and who deceives
children. Placing a thimble in the wrong finger in a dream means committing
adultery, neglecting one’s prayers, or the falling sick of the person such finger
represents in the dream. (Also see Fingers; Five fingers)

Well
In a dream, a well inside one’s house means prosperity, riches, a wife,
business, a teacher, poverty, deception, fulfillment of one’s needs, travels, goals,
stinginess, generosity, or it could mean a servant. The structural condition of
each well in a dream has its own interpretation. A well in a dream also represent
a woman who has a loud laughter, or it could represent a pleasant and an in¬
spiring woman. If a woman sees a well in a dream, it means meeting a man of
good character. If one sees himself looking into a well in a dream, it means that
he is thinking about a particular woman for marriage. A well in a dream is also
interpreted to represent knowledge, marriage, a big man, prison, ties, or
deception. If one digs a well and finds water in it in his dream, it means that
he will marry a wealthy woman whom he will deceive. If the water gushes forth,
rises and runs outside of an old well in the dream, it represents crying and grief
in that place. Digging a well and finding water to channel for one’s garden in
a dream means taking an herbal remedy to cure one’s impotence, or to save his
marriage. Falling into a well of muddy waters in a dream means that one may
become subject to the tyranny of an unjust ruler. If the water he falls into is clear
in the dream, it means that he will willingly work to serve a righteous man and
for a nominal wage. Falling into a well in a dream also means demotion, or it
could mean travels. Sitting at the edge of a well in a dream means dealing with
a deceiving person. A collapsed well in a dream represents a dying woman.
Reaching a well which is dug for the general public to draw from its water means
getting relief after suffering from difficulties. Finding a well adjacent to a
barmaid in a dream means finding a spiritual teacher, or joining a fellowship
and a school for the seekers. If one sees the well of Zamzam quenching the thirst
of people in a particular neighborhood other than Mecca in a dream, it means
that a gnostic will come to that town, and whose knowledge and wisdom will
greatly benefit its people. It also may denote the bounty and blessings which are
imparted to that town, or it could denote the victory of its people over their real
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
and an artful deceiver.

Poem
Memorizing a poem or a verse from a poem in a dream means engaging in
a business from which one will acquire great knowledge, or it could mean profits
or success in whatever trade one chooses to practice. If one sees himself in a court
of justice reciting poems for money in the dream, it means that he will give a
false testimony. If he recites a poem for a gathering in a dream, it means that
he will relate a wise saying, though he himself inclines to hypocrisy. If one sees
himself listening to a poem in a dream, it means that he will associate himself
with a group of people who do not foster the truth. In a dream, poems also
represent falsehood or vain talk. Reciting a poem or listening to one and
memorizing its verses in a dream means that one should take heed to what it
says. If the poem one is listening to in his dream contains wisdom or a divine
revelation, then it does mean good. Composing a poem, or memorizing it in a
dream also means losing one’s status, dismissal from one’s job, weakness in
one’s religious adherence, suffering from depression, adversities, suffering from
slander by one’s enemy, or it could represent a crafty ploy. If one composes a
defamatory poem or a satirical poem in a dream, it means that he slanders
others for fun or profit. If it is lauding someone, then it means that he will
become poor. If he sings his poem with a melody in the dream, it represents a
satirical attitude toward someone, doubt about someone, or failure to complete
one’s work. (Also see Poet)

Fur
Wearing a fur coat in the winter in a dream means benefits and profits, for
cold in a dream signifies poverty. If it is in the summer, then it means benefits
accompanied with a sickness, distress and trouble. Sable, squirrel or tiger’s fur
in a dream represents an iniquitous and an unfair person. Sable’s fur in a dream
also means dominion, ungodliness and wickedness. It is also said that squirrel’s
fur in a dream signifies pride, ostentation, a high rank or beauty, though
without any religious or moral concerns. Wearing a fur coat inside-out in a
dream means showing one’s wealth and being excessively ostentatious. Mending
or repairing a piece of fur in a dream means suffering from an unexpected
illness. Fox fur in a dream represents an insidious, crafty and a deceitful person.
Sheep’s skin in a dream represents a noble, strong and an unassailable person.
