Temples
( anat .) In a dream, one’s temples represent two noble and blessed sons.
Anything that affects them in the dream will affect one’s sons. Temples in a
dream also could mean recovering from an illness. If one is suffering from a
migraine headache sees his temples turn into iron in a dream, it means that he
will find a cure for his illness. One’s temples in a dream also may be interpreted
as money. Plucking out the facial hair from someone’s temples in a dream means
borrowing money from him, and the lender will take pride in lending him money.
If a rich person sees himself plucking out his facial hair in a dream, it means
that he may lose his wealth. If a poor person sees that dream, it means that he
will repay his debts. (Also see Body)

Slaughterhouse
(Abattoir) A slaughterhouse in a dream represents loss of lives,
the return of souls to their Lord, bloodshed, skinning animals, or it could mean
fetidness. A slaughterhouse in a dream also means weddings, festivities,
celebrations and banquets, or it could represent tyranny, adultery, or a brothel.
If a sick person sees himself entering a slaughterhouse in a dream, it means the
end of his life and the dividing of his assets after his death. If a healthy person
enters a slaughterhouse and if his garment become stained with blood in a
dream, it means a sickness, adversities, or debts. If one sees hogs or pigs being
slaughtered therein, his dream means that he will witness the end of innovators,
the contemptible, the evil ones, and the abominable people. Meanwhile, if people
are afraid of someone, the dream then signals the end of such a person. A
slaughterhouse in a dream also represents a dungeon, a torture room, or a
primitive prison. Entering a slaughterhouse in a dream may also mean that the
police is investigating allegations related to such a person. A slaughterhouse in
a dream also represents a procuress or a white slaver. (Also see Slaughter)

Ritual bath
(Ablution; Ghusul: Ritual ablution; Wash) A ritual bath ( arb. Ghusul.
Islamic Law) is customarily performed on a festival day, or before the Friday
congregational prayers, before starting a pilgrimage, after recovering from an
illness, or is necessitated by the emission of sperms either during one’s sleep or
following a marital intercourse. A ritual ablution is also given to a deceased
person before his funeral and burial, or otherwise is taken by the undertaker
himself after washing the dead. To take a ritual ablution in a dream before the
Friday congregational prayers means purifying oneself, washing oneself from
sin, repenting from sin, serving one’s parents, or being true to one’s friends.
Taking a ritual ablution for any of the above reason during the wintertime and
using cold water in the dream means distress, trouble or a sickness. If hot water
is used, then it means profits, benefits and recovering from sickness. Taking a
ritual ablution in a dream before attending a festival means getting married.
Taking a ritual ablution after seeing either a solar or a lunar eclipses in a dream
means an adversity, and the same applies if one takes a ritual ablution in a
dream before the prayers of asking for rain. To take a ritual ablution after
washing a deceased person in a dream means abandoning one’s association with
heedless people. If the person who performs such an ablution is mentally
deranged, it means that he will wake-up cured from his condition. Taking a
ritual ablution prior to joining the sacred pilgrimage in a dream means
happiness, success, victory over one’s enemy, paying one’s debts, or reuniting
with one’s beloveds. Taking a ritual ablution before circumambulating the
sacred House in Mecca in a dream means working for one’s livelihood, serving
rich people, or caring for one’s wife and parents. If a sick person sees himself
taking a ritual ablution then putting on a new garment in a dream, it means that
he will soon recover from his illness. Taking a ritual ablution in a dream also
could mean the release of a prisoner, payment of one's debts, dispelling one’s
distress, or it could mean richness, prosperity, attending the sacred pilgrimage
in Mecca, or having a successful business. If one does not put a new garment
after taking his ritual ablution in the dream, it means that he will be able to
lighten his burdens, or recover his good health. Walking into a pond, or
descending a well, or stepping into a bathtub to take a bath in a dream means
marriage. Washing oneself with soap during such an ablution means dispensing
of one’s debts, or dispelling one’s stress. Washing one’s garment after taking a
Ghusul in a dream means correcting one’s conduct, pursuing the correct
religious life, paying one’s debts, or washing away one’s filth. If one sees a
deceased person washing himself before his burial in a dream, it means relief
for one’s dependents and increase of their wealth after him. Giving a ritual
ablution to a deceased person in a dream also means that someone will repent
for his sins at the hand of the undertaker. If a deceased person asks someone
to wash his clothes for him in a dream, it means that he needs someone to pray
for him, or to intercede on his behalf before his Lord, or to pay charity for the
benefit of his soul, or to pay his debts, or to fulfill his will, or to do him justice.
If one does fulfills the deceased person’s wish and washes his clothes for him in
the dream, it means the redemption of such a person. (Also see Ablution)

mean becoming wealthy. It also could imply verbal abuse, temptation, or
enmity. A river of wine in a dream means adversities. Wine in a dream also
represents marriage consent, or dismissal from one’s job. Mixing wine with

where he finds platters of fruit and pitchers of wine in the dream, it represents
his martyrdom. If a sick person sees himself drinking wine in a dream, it means
that he will receive the right medicine and recover from his illness. Drinking
wine in a dream also means losing one’s senses, or it could denote an evil
happening. Drinking wine in the company of mentally disturbed people along
with sedatives, drugs, music, dancing, farce, or ridiculous actions in a dream
means that one will brake his pledge of allegiance to his guardian or ruler,
deny his covenant to his Lord, or that he may start a war against his ruler. If a scholar
sees himself drinking wine in a dream, it means that his knowledge will grow.
If it is grape wine in the dream, it means that he will eat grapes outside of their
season, or that he may require a drug preparation as a cure for an ailment, or
it could mean earning lawful money, or falling into a shameful act. If he buys
wine or presses it in the dream, it means that he will foster religious distortion,
an act that will cause him to suffer from a curse. Wine in a dream also represents
lies, prattle, divulging secrets, adultery or crimes. Drinking wine in a compe¬
tition or for fun in a dream means loss of one’s money or child. If the person is
a hard-working laborer, it means that he may experience some temporary
comfort, or that he may marry an older woman. Drinking wine in a dream also
means suffering from a state of stupor. Seeing a departed person drinking non¬
intoxicating wine with joy in a dream means that he is dwelling in paradise. This
is only true if he was not in the habit of drinking alcohol in this world. However,
wine in a dream could be a good sign for one who is intending to get married,
because of its water content. (Also see Deer; Grapes; Intoxicants; Juice; Non¬
alcoholic wine; Urn; Vineyard)

Weapon
(Arm) In a dream, a weapon means power and victory, or it could mean
overcoming a disease. If one sees himself carrying a weapon while others around
him are not armed in the dream, it means that he may become a leader in his
community or field. If one notices people admiring his weapon in a dream, it
represents their jealousy and envy toward him. If one sees himself carrying a
weapon which he uses with mastery, it represents his maturity and fulfillment
of his goals. However if a sick person sees himself carrying a weapon, it may
mean his death, satisfying one’s religious duties, or correcting himself. If he
feels fear while carrying that weapon in the dream, it means that God Almighty
will cure him from his illness. If he is travelling, it means that he will return
home safely. If one is stripped from his weapon in a dream, it represents his
weakness. If one adorns himself with a weapon in a dream, it means that he will
acquire knowledge to help him overcome ignorant people, or wealth to shelter
him from poverty, or it could mean victory over his enemy. A weapon in a dream
also represents medicine, or a wife who protects her husband’s chastity and
shelters him against evil, or from desiring other women. (Also see Sword)

Thief
(Assassin; Illness; Robber) In a dream, a thief represents an illness,
deficiency in one’s character, or a physical ailment. If the thief is a black man,
it means that the illness relates to one’s black bile. If the color of his skin is red,
then it relates to one’s blood. If the color of his skin is yellow, then it relates to
his galls. If the color of his skin is white, then it relates to his chest and phlegm.
Whatever a thief takes in the dream should be interpreted in relation to the
substance of what he took. If he takes nothing from one’s house, then it denotes
a passing ailment. If one catches the thief, or holds to his shirt in the dream,
it means that he knows the cure. A thief in a dream also represents an assassin,
the angel of death, a visitor, or someone asking for marriage. If there is a sick
person in the house and a thief enters that house in a dream, it means the death
of the ailing person. If a thief comes to one’s house and takes nothing from it in
a dream, it means the recovery of sick person from his illness. A thief in a dream
also can be interpreted to represent a cunning person, a deceiver, an adulterer,
a hunter, a backbiter, someone who asks for things that do not belong to him,
a lion, a snake, a Satan, eavesdropping, or one’s mind, desire and passions. If
a scholar sees a thief in his dream, it means that he will learn wisdom from an
anecdote. A thief in a dream also represents a liar, or the humiliation inflicted
upon such a person. (Also see Crocodile; Illness; Robbery)

stress, depression and a scare from evil spirits. Any yellow colored drink in a
dream means sickness. Drinking an infusion of a violet flower in a dream means

unwillingly drinking a bitter medicinal syrup in a dream, it means that he might
suffer a light illness. If he drinks apple juice or honey or myrtle drink or any
other delicious drink in a dream, it means happiness for a rich person and bad
news for a poor person. Drinking a glass of apple juice in a dream means benefits
drawn from a servant or an employee, a service offered by a powerful person,
or it could mean a stressful life. If one drinks something to cure an illness in a
dream, it means recovering from that illness if it exists. Otherwise, it means
that he might suffer from such an illness and take such a drink as a cure. Any
constipating drink in a dream means stinginess, while taking a laxative in a
dream means generosity. A headache reliever or a pain killer means kindness
or diplomacy and the same goes for any drink that cleanses the kidney. Beside
that, drinks denote architecture, religious studies, addressing matters promptly
or hiding secrets. Colorful drinks in a dream represent happiness, joy, festivi¬
ties, celebrations and correcting one’s behavior. Fruit drinks in a dream may
denote the fruit itself. Drinking rose water in a dream means lack of trust in
someone’s promises. Drinking an unknown but fragrant drink in a dream means
strengthening one’s certitude, loyalty or fulfilling one’s vow. Drinking a smelly
or a spoiled drink and particularly in a golden cup or a silver cup in a dream

Tanner
(Changing hide into leather or curing it; Dye) Seeing a tanner in a dream
is interpreted the same as seeing a cupper. ( See Cupping). Both specialties cure
something. If one sees a physician becoming a tanner in a dream, it denotes his
expertise and the large number of people who benefit from his treatments.
Unless one finds the tanning to be faulty, then it indicates a non-professional
person. If seeing a tanner in a dream is understood to denote material benefits,
then in reality, he represents an escape from death. If he is understood in
relationship with religious matters, then seeing him means feeding the poor and
hungry during a drought or a famine. A tanner in a dream also represents a
peacemaker, a physician, or a guardian. However, it is possible to interpret a
tanner in a dream to mean distress, adversities, or an unjust person. (Also see

befriending a mail carrier. The second celestial sphere represents the scribes of
a king. The third celestial sphere represents a marriage to a woman from a noble

sixth celestial sphere represents knowledge, blessings and steadfastness. The
seventh celestial sphere represents the inner circles of a ruler. The eight
celestial sphere represents the company of a great ruler. The ninth celestial
sphere represents the company of a revered man. Seeing the tenth celestial
sphere or the all-encompassing sphere in a dream means meeting the greatest
ruler. Orbiting a celestial sphere or a galaxy or seeing them in a dream means

(Drug; Inkwell) Taking medicine in a dream means correcting oneself,
or it could mean fulfilling one’s religious obligations. If one takes a medicine for
his illness in a dream, it means that he will correct his conduct. If it denotes
knowledge in the dream, it means that he will benefit from what he learns and
accepts the good advice. If one refuses to take his medicine in the dream, it
means that he will deviate from the path of his Lord and shift his interests to
his allotment or luck in this world. Medicine in a dream also denotes an inkwell.
Licking medicine with one’s index finger in a dream means proclaiming the

cine. Seeking good health in a dream means trying to amend one’s life for the

Mother
(Educator; Eye-brow; Governess) Seeing one’s mother in a dream has a
deeper and a stronger meaning than seeing one’s father. All the same in one’s
dream, seeing her means attaining one’s goal. Man’s dreams are most pleasing
when he sees his parents, grand parents or a relative. If one is going through
difficulties and sees his mother in a dream, it means that help will come his way
from sources he does not anticipate. If in real life he is awaiting someone’s return
from a journey, that person could arrive shortly. If one is sick, it means that he
will be cured from his illness. If one sees his mother giving birth to him, should
he be ill in real life, then it means the approach of his death, for a deceased is
wrapped in a shroud, while a new born is wrapped with a receiving cloth. If the
person in question is poor, then seeing his mother in a dream means that his
financial conditions will change for the better. If he is rich, it means restrictions
of his earnings, for a child is dependent on others, and his movements are
restricted. (Also see Earth)

Zikr
(Hymn; Remembrance of God; Songs of God’s love; Supplications) If one sees
himself in a dream participating in a circle of people remembering God Al¬
mighty, or calling upon His most beautiful name, or invoking His divine
attributes, or reading the Quran, or reciting devotional songs, it means that
such location will be built as a holy place to celebrate God’s praises. The
goodness of that place depends on the quality of reading, or the degree of
devotion seen in the dream. When it is an ascetic song in the dream, it means
that one’s deputyship is established correctly, but if one sees himself singing
a sensual love song, then it means temptations. If one sees himself repeatedly
calling God’s name in a dream, it means that he will win victory over his enemy.
Calling people to God and reminding them of His attributes in a dream
represents the work of a preacher who admonishes people, helps them to the
shore of safety, and distances them from their sins and their consequences. If
a merchant sees himself callingupon God’s beautiful names in a dream, it means
that his business will be saved from bankruptcy. If a disbeliever, a profane or
a secular person sees himself in a state of remembering God Almighty and
calling upon His most holy attributes in a dream, it means that he may fall sick,
or face great adversities, while in his heart, he will remain pleading with God
Almighty for mercy and relief, though he may remain silent in public regarding
his inner faith, and in fear of being ridiculed by his own circles. If during his
dream one speaks words of truth and wisdom, it means that he will recover from
his adversity and be cured from his illness. Furthermore, he will move into a
more comfortable life and begin a life of sharing and doing good deeds in this
world, or he may receive guidance and light, and faith will permeate his heart.
If one says his prayers with a twang in a dream, it means that he will linger in
difficulties, and that people will mock him too. (Also see Supplications)

Flies
(Insect) In a dream, a fly represents a weak, lowly and a slanderous person.
If he ever benefits anyone, it will be someone of his own kind. Eating flies in a
dream means earning loathsome money. Seeing flies ruminating inside one’s
stomach in a dream means earning money from a loathsome and a despicable
man. Seeing flies inside one’s body in a dream means mixing with loathsome
people. Whatever profits one may gain through them will not last. A large size
fly in a dream represents a great enemy who will bring harm to the people and
to the economy of the land. Flies flying over one’s head in a dream represent a
weak enemy who is desiring to triumph over him. It could also mean that
someone in a high ranking position is influencing their moves or forcing them
to do what he wants. If someone who intends a journey sees flies sitting on him
in a dream, perhaps he should delay his travel plans for while. If one sees flies
inside his mouth in a dream, it means that some thieves will take refuge or hide
in his house. If a fly or a mosquito enters one’s ear in a dream, it denotes blessing,
status, authority or profits. Killing a fly in a dream means preserving one’s
health and fitness. If one sees a swarm of flies inside his house in a dream, it
means that his enemies will cause him losses. Flies are a weak but a tough
enemy. In a dream, a gathering of flies somewhere means profits, medicine,
cure, abominable actions or committing an act that will bring rebuke.

Young woman
(Teenage girl) A young girl in a dream represents an enemy
however she may look. Seeing a well dressed and pleasingly adorned young
woman in a dream means hearing pleasing news coming from an unexpected
person. Seeing a young and a beautiful looking female servant in a dream means
blessings, a favor, joy and festivities. In a dream, seeing an unknown young girl
is more advantageous than seeing a known one. The strongest in meaning are
those teenage girls who are presentable, well mannered and beautifully dressed.
If she is seen dressed with modesty in the dream, then she represents goodness,
chastity, discreteness, and following the correct religious conduct. If she adorns
herself and plays up her charms in the dream, then such goodness will be public.
If a young girl sees herself as an old woman in a dream, it means that she will
live with modesty and preserve her chastity. If an old woman sees herself turned
young again in the dream, it means regaining her strength, sexual desire and
fertility. If she engages in lawful sexual intercourse in marriage, it denotes
strong religious adherence. If she engages in sexual intercourse with someone
without marriage in the dream, then her dream represents her love for the world
and attachment to its glitters. If one sees an old woman turned young in a dream,
then the above explanation becomes stronger. However, if one is poor, it means
that her basic needs will be secured. If one has lost her chances in this world,
it means that she will have a new opportunity, or if she is sick, it means that
she will recover from her illness. Seeing a young girl frowning in a dream means
that one may hear disturbing news. If she looks emaciated, then one’s dream
denotes poverty. If she is naked in the dream, it means business losses and
defamation. Marrying a virgin teenage girl in a dream means wealth. (Also see
Little girl)

Door
A door in a dream represents the guardian of the house. An open doors in
a dream represents a source of income. The door of a house also represents the
wife. If the appearance of one’s door looks different from reality in a dream, it
means changes in one’s life. If it is broken or burned in the dream, it means
difficulties for the resident guardian of that house. If one sees a small door
within the main entrance door in the dream, it means that he will infringe on
the privacy of others bedroom. It also means that one’s wife may have a secret
affair, or that a betrayal may be uncovered in one’s house. If one sees lions
jumping at his door in a dream, it means that insolent people will pursue his
wife. If one sees himself seeking a door which he couldn’t find in a dream, it
means indecision. Entering a house from its main door means triumph against
one’s opposition. If the door of one’s house opens to the street in a dream, it
means that what one earns will be of benefit to strangers rather than to his own
household. The disappearing of a door in a dream means death of the head of
that household. Passing through a small door into an open space means relief
from difficulties. If one sees himself leaving his house from the main door into
a spacious green garden in a dream, it means entering the realms of the
hereafter. If one sees two ringlets or door knockers hanging at his door in a
dream, it means indebtedness to two people who are demanding to be paid. If
one sees fire burning his door in a dream, it means the death of his wife, or it
may mean his failure to properly manage that household. The gates of a city
represent a righteous governor. In a dream, the door of a house also represents
the protection it houses behind it, including one’s property, personal secrets and
family. If the door is well built in a dream, it means protection of one’s private
life. Otherwise, whatever maybe seen through such a door means exposing one’s
private life. If one sees a carpenter building him a new door, this means glad
tidings of health and wealth. If one sees himself unable to properly secure the
closing of his door in a dream, it means difficulties caused by his wife. If one sees
himself changing his door in a dream, it means moving into another house. If
one sees himself entering his house and locking his door in a dream, it means

Padlock
A padlock in a dream represents an employee who is treated roughly and
unfavorably. A padlock made from wood in a dream represents deceit and
hypocrisy. Locking one’s door securely in a dream means managing and controlling

and that he cares little about its consequences. Attempting to lock one’s door,
but to no avail in a dream means one’s failure to complete an important project.
Breaking a lock and entering a house in a dream represents a conqueror or

Eating a raw onion in a dream denotes an evil happening. If a sick person
eats a small amount of onions in a dream, it means that he will die from his illness,
but if one sees himself eating a large quantity in his dream, it means that he will

means prosperity and good health, though they will be accompanied with stress,
sadness or separation from one’s wife. Eating a strong smelling or a fragrant herb
in a dream means contempt, loathing on the part of some members of his family

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

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.

unlawful sexual intercourse and that she will no longer serve that house. To buy

one’s writing pen comes out of it with ink only. An inkwell in a dream also means
ulcer. The pen represents iron ( See Iron), and the ink means time. If one sees
a section of his body transformed into an inkwell, whereby he can draw ink from
it and write in a notebook in the dream, it means that he will receive an
inheritance. An inkwell in a dream also means medicine. If one is sick, then
seeing an inkwell in a dream also means finding the right medicine and, God
willing, one will be cured from his illness. (Also see Pederasty; Sodomy)

Stomach
In a dream, the stomach represents the elements of property, family,
secrets, one’s mate, prison, grave, health, sickness, friend, wayfarer, one’s
religious life and nature of one’s devotion. If in a dream one sees his stomach
open, it means that his business may be temporarily put out of commission, or
that he may lose any benefits he used to derive from it up to then. The other
aforementioned elements also may apply. If the person in question is a pregnant
woman, and if she sees her baby or any part of it comes out of her open stomach,
this may mean that a jailed person in her family will be set free, or that the
family graves will be desecrated, or that the body of someone in her family will
be exhumed, thus uncovering its diseases and infestations, or it could mean that
one’s personal life will become public knowledge. If one is actually complaining
of such an illness, his dream means that he will find a cure for it. If one sees that
he has no stomach in a dream, it means that he may lose a friend, or that his
guardian may die shortly, or that he may become a religious, ascetic and devoted
worshiper. If one sees fire coming out of his stomach in a dream, it means that
he will repent for stealing the properties of orphans. If one sees himself crawling
on his stomach in a dream, it shows him being needy and striving to barely feed
himself, or it may denote his materialistic character. The stomach in a dream
also represents the plains of a valley. It also can be interpreted as one’s tribal
belonging or a branch of his lineage. Entering a stomach in a dream means
travels, imprisonment, or returning home from one of the two. If one sees
himself inside the womb of his mother while he is traveling in a foreign land in
a dream, it means that he will return to his motherland to die and be buried
there. (Also see Body; Rumbling of one’s stomach)

cloudy and obscures his sight. If during the summer one sees vapor exhaling
from his mouth in a dream, which is a common phenomena in cold weather, it
means an internal disease, or exposing one’s secrets. If the person in question
in such a dream is a believer on the path, he may become heedless. If he is a man
of knowledge, he may invent a provoking trend. On the other hand, vapor in a
dream may imply falsehood, lies and idle talk. (Also see Clouds)

religious attendance, release of a prisoner, arrival of a traveller, recovery of a

sweets in a dream means self-conceit, lies, or it could mean extollment, or
speaking nice words. Eating sweets in a dream also means suffering from cold
symptoms. Though, eating fermented sweets or preserves in a dream may
represent a cure. If a sweet is made from the basic four ingredients (i.e., honey,
sugar, flour and manna or dates, or other fillings) in a dream, it means
happiness, longevity, or escaping from the consequences of a dangerous busi¬
ness one ventures in with greed. As for a believer, eating sweets in a dream
means tasting the blessings of one’s faith, though for a disbeliever, it means
indulging in the pleasures of this world. (Also see Pastry; Seasonal sweets; Sweets
maker)

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
