Dwellings
(Cage; Clothing; House; Luck; Robe) In a dream, dwellings are man’s
abode or his world. One’s dwellings in a dream are a reflection of his deeds in
wakefulness. If one finds himself in a newly built house which is freshly painted
and has all the needed amenities and comforts in a dream, it means prosperity.
If he is a poor person, then it means that he will meet his financial obligations
with ease. If he is under stress, it means that he will become free from such
burdens. If he is a craftsman, it means that he will master his craft or acquire
authority equal in dominance to the beauty and perfection, size and details of
such a dwelling he saw in the dream. If he is in sin, it means that he will repent.
The spaciousness or tightness of one’s dwellings in a dream represents his
finances, knowledge, sharing, hospitality and generosity. If one’s own dwellings
looked renovated in a dream, it means regaining or developing one’s business
for the better. Its fresh paint means fulfilling one’s religious commitments. Its
tiles or marble floors represent his pleasures or wife. Dwellings of solid iron cast
means longevity and authority. If one enters an unknown house and finds
departed souls dwelling therein in a dream, it means that he has entered the
realms of the hereafter. If such dwellings are built of mud or plaster, this will
be a reflection on his adverse conditions. If one enters such dwellings, then
walks out of it in a dream, it means that he will become sick and nearly die of
his illness before he recovers from it. If one walks out of it angry in a dream, it
means that he will be imprisoned. If he sees someone entering his house in a
dream, it means that someone will know his intimate life, or that an insolent
person will become a close family friend, then betray his trust and have a secret
affairs with one’s wife. If one sees his dwellings crumbling or caving in on him
in a dream, it means that he will receive an inheritance from the belongings of
a deceased relative. Building a dwelling for oneself or for others in a dream
means the death of a relative or of one’s child, or it could mean divorcing one’s
wife. Dwellings in a dream also represent a transient station. If the dwelling is
built from an unsuitable construction material in the dream, it means that one’s
source of income is unlawful. One’s dwellings in a dream also represent his
physical form, carnal self and substance. Demolishing a new home in a dream
means evil and adversities. (Also see Cage; Glass house; House)

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

Earthquake
In a dream, an earthquake represents fear of a higher authority. An
earthquake in a dream is also interpreted to indicate major changes in that
particular place, or a calamity that will befall a town or a country. If one sees
the mountains rumbling, shaking and crumbling, then being restored to their
original state in a dream, it means that a great happening will devastate such
a place. If one sees the earth shaking or caving in, and if everything sinks into
the ground, hitting a segment of the community and sparing another segment
of it in the dream, it means that a calamity will befall that place, and it will
manifest through social disorder, injustices or a plague. If one sees the earth
shaking and the firmament rent asunder in a dream, it means that major
adversities will hit their properties, cattle, farms and institutions, etcetera, as
a divine chastisement for people’s sins. If one sees the earth moving under his
feet in a dream, then it represents one’s striving and pursuit of his business
needs or livelihood. An earthquake in a dream also represents exposing secrets,
hearing bad news, a general scare, public disturbances, the surfacing of new
diseases. If one sees the walls crumbling and caving in a dream, it means his
death. Seeing an earthquake in an arable land in a dream means fertility or a
good harvest. An earthquake in a dream also may mean travels, dancing,
abstraction of business or having an argument with one’s family. If the destruc¬
tion hits the buildings in urban areas in the dream, it means business growth
for construction workers, contractors or related industries. Seeing an earthquake
hitting a fruit farm in a dream means a good harvest. If the quake takes place
during the month of May, it means a fierce battle, fights between people or
public disorder. If one’s dream takes place during the month of June, then it
means destruction of evil trades and their people. If the dream takes place
during the daylight time, then it means appointment of people of knowledge to
leading positions in the government. If one dreams of an earthquake during the
