(Color; Expose; Hair; Henna; Hide; Gray hair) Applying henna or a dye to

tidings, tenderness, or it could mean compassion. Dyeing one’s hair in a dream

strength, dignity and valor. Applying henna dye to one’s head and not to one’s
beard in a dream means emulating the traditions of God’s Prophet, upon whom
be peace. To dye both the head and the beard in a dream means concealing one’s
poverty, though one will keep asking people to pay him respect or to recognize
him in their circles. If one’s hair accepts the dye in the dream, it means regaining
one’s status, though with less emphasis on his pride, or it could mean that he
will make contentment his new ornament or trim. If one uses a dye other than
what is commonly used, and if it works in the dream, it means that he will be
saved from an adverse condition through miraculous events. If the new dye does
not work in the dream, it means that his true nature will be exposed and he will
have no solutions to protect himself from defamation or public abuse. If he tries
to dyes his hair with dry henna clay, and if his hair still accepts it in the dream,
it means that he is an ignorant person, though he will ultimately repent for his
sins, amend his actions and improve himself. If a woman sees her hands dyed

one’s hands with henna or one’s hair with regular dye as a makeup in a dream
represents joy for the husband and wife as long as they do not exceed the norms.
Dyeing one’s hands and feet in a dream means redecorating one’s house. If a poor

Ocean
(Government) The element of ocean in a dream represents a prison where
sea lives are incarcerated, and it means losses, fear, despair, limitless knowledge,
a city without walls, or the world, its trials and wonders. An ocean or a sea in a
dream also represents a strong ruler who is just, compassionate toward his
subjects and whom people revere, have access to, and seek for their daily needs.
If a businessman sees an ocean in a dream, it represents his merchandise. As for
a worker or an apprentice, the ocean in a dream represents his veteran teacher
or master. If one sees the ocean in a dream, it means that he will succeed in his
goals. If one sees himself entering into the ocean or sea in a dream, it means that
he will enter before a ruler, or stand before someone in authority. If one sees
himself sitting or lounging at the sea shore in a dream, it means that he will work
for such a person or a ruler, though he will be observing caution and diplomacy
with him. If one sees himself drinking the entire water of the sea though no one
sees him except the king in a dream, it means that he will reign and live a long
life. Drinking any portion thereof also means equal earnings to what he takes in.
If one sees himself drinking from it to quench his thirst in the dream, it means
riches, strength and longevity. If one sees himself asking for some of its water to
drink in a dream, it means that he is seeking to work for such a strong person or
ruler. If he pours its water in a pitcher in the dream, it means prosperity, or that
he will receive a bounteous gift from God Almighty to encompass a high rank as
well as riches. However, his status will last longer than his money. To drink water
from the sea in a dream means acquiring knowledge and adopting proper conduct.
Crossing the ocean in a dream means booty. If one sees strong waves bringing
seawater to his street without causing damages in a dream, it means that a ruler
or a great person will enter or visit that locality. Bathing in seawater in a dream
means repentance from one’s sins. Seeing the ocean from a distance in a dream
means that calamities, temptations and trials are coming to one’s community. If
one sees the sea receding, whereby he can see the edges of the earth it covers in
a dream, it means diminishing of his authority and control, or that the wrath of
God Almighty has descended upon that locality. This calamity could be carried
by one’s own government, economic tribulations, drought, or one’s enemies.
Standing over seawater in a dream means attaining something one did not seek.
Walking in the air above the seawater in a dream represents the person’s good
intentions, his clarity, faith and certitude. If a sick person sees himself taking
ablution in seawater in a dream, it means that he will recover from his illness,
or it could mean payment of one’s debts and relief from worldly pressures. (Also
