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)

House
(Cage; Dwellings) In a dream, one’s house holds different meanings. One
of them is the wife. If one sees himself entering his house in a dream, it means
that he will get married, or have sexual intercourse with his wife. Building one’s
own house in a dream means that a sick person will recover from his illness. If
such construction is hard and if it is customary in that family to bury its dead
within the compound of the same property, then it means the death of a sick
person in the family. If no one is sick in that house and the construction is
accompanied with music and celebrations in the dream, then it means adver¬
sities, trials and hardships. If under such circumstance the person in the dream
is unmarried, it means marriage, and if he is married, it means that he will
marry off one of his daughters. If one sees himself tied up and imprisoned inside
a house in a dream, it means that he will receive glad tidings, or it could mean
good health and prosperity. If one sees himself carrying a house over his
shoulders in a dream, it means that he takes care of a needy woman or a wife.
If one sees his house made of gold in a dream, it means that a fire will burn it
down. If the house has no roof, whereby one can see the skies, sun or moon in
a dream, it represents the marriage of a woman from that household. If one sees
a big house within his own house in a dream, it means that a righteous woman
will live their or move into that family to become a blessing for such a house.
If there is a tunnel under such a house in the dream, it denotes deception or that
a perfidious person is having access to that household. A house without lights
in a dream represents a woman of evil character, and if a woman sees that house
in her dream, then it represents a man of evil character. Demolishing one’s
house in a dream means a fight within that family. If one sees grass growing
inside his house in a dream, it means a wedding. (Also see Cage; Dwellings; Glass

Construction worker
(Carpenter; Mason; Woodworker; Workman) Seeing a
construction worker in a dream means both poverty or richness, or he could
denote travels or uncertainty about what profession one should get into to earn
his livelihood, or he could represent someone who patiently carries someone
else’s burdens, or someone who fabricates a story, or someone who embellishes
a story with lies, or someone who mixes the lawful with the unlawful. A
construction worker in a dream also represents someone who stirs-up people
against one another for a price. If some dust falls over him during his work in
the dream, it means that he will benefit accordingly, and if no dust falls over
him duringhis work in the dream, it means that he will get nothing from inciting
people against one another. If one sees a construction worker demolishing a wall
or a house in a dream, it means that some enmity will grow between friends that
could bring about the death of one of them. (Also see Carpenter; Digging; Labor;
Pickax)

Citadel
(Castle; Fortress; Stronghold) If a suitable person sees himself inside a
beautiful citadel in a dream, it means that he will be appointed as a leader, or
that he will he get married, have a child, buy a property, walk the path of the
believers, or repent of his sins. If one sees himself inside a citadel or a castle in
a dream, it means that he will be endowed with ascetic detachment from this
world and with piety, faith and abstinence from sin. His share will depend upon
that section of the citadel or castle where he stands in his dream. If one sees
himself wandering in a desolate region outside the castle in the dream, it means
that he will fall prey to his enemy. If one builds a castle or a citadel in his dream,
it means that he will guard himself from his enemy, protects his chastity,
property and person from adversities and humiliation. The opposite will take
effect if he sees himself demolishing such a castle or citadel. Seeing oneself
standing near the battlement in a dream, it means that he will benefit from a
brother, a son or a superior who will save his life. (Also see Castle; Fortress)

Wrecker
(Demolishing; Desperado; Destroying; Plunderer; Reversal of sentence)
A wrecker in a dream has negative connotations. He represents a person with
many contradictions, a violator of others’ rights, someone who breaks things
apart, who ruins things, someone who negates his promises or covenants, or one
who breaks his own rules. On the other hand, if a wrecker demolishes something
to replace it with something better, or to reverse an unjust sentence in the
dream, he then represents a true human being, and one’s dream carries a
positive meaning. (Also see Spoils)

The element of a good building in a dream represents love, affection,
unity, progeny, prosperity, a garment of honor, and girls in one’s family. A

in a dream, it means having intercourse with his spouse. If one builds a church,
it defines him as Christian. If he builds a mosque, it defines him as Muslim. If
a man of knowledge sees himself building a mosque as an offering to please God
Almighty in a dream, it means that he will compile a study from which others

pretations. If a king, or a ruler sees himself building a mosque as an offering for
God’s pleasure in a dream, it means that he will rule his subjects with justice,
command what is lawful and forbid what is unlawful. If he builds a school, it
shows him to be a man of knowledge. If he builds a hospice in a dream, it means
that he is an ascetic. If a sick person sees himself building a house in a dream,
it means that he will recover from his illness and enjoy good health. Seeing
buildings in a dream explains one’s determination, it also means one’s wants for
himself when he rejoices at finding something suitable for status. If one sees his
house bigger than it is in reality in a dream, it means expansion in one’s material
resources. If it grows beyond the normal norms in a dream, it means anxiety,
or a delegation that hastens to enter that house without permission, announcing
a calamity, or it could mean that a wedding will take place in that house.
Building a house in a dream also means extending one’s connections, strengthening
one’s relationship with his kin, friends, or if the person in question is a general
in the army, or a leader, then it means building a strong army. Building a house
in a dream also means regaining power, rejoicing or success in one’s business,
all of which are relative to the thickness of its walls. On the other hand,
demolishing one’s house in a dream means disagreement, disintegration or
separation of one’s family, relatives, friends, associates or dissolution of one’s
army. If one sees himself working for some people to renovate an old building
in a dream, it means correcting the norms of conduct in that community or
reviving old traditions. For example if one sees himself reconstructing the house
of Pharaoh in a dream, it means that he is reviving or reestablishing Pharaoh’s
system of government, or adopting its principals. Erecting a foundation for a

forms thereon in the dream, it means acquiring knowledge, learning a new craft,

bricks encrusted with pictures or forms in a dream means engaging in an
unlawful or a deceitful act. Building a house in a dream and strengthening its
walls, means to complete the father’s traditions, and to continue working in his
