Suhur
(arb.) To take the last meal before daybreak during the month of Ramadan
in a dream means wearing down one’s enemy, repentance of a sinner, guidance
to a disbeliever, or it could mean earning little money. If one thinks that he took
such a meal in his dream, it means that he may commit a wrongdoing then
repent and ask for forgiveness.

Jumping
(Bounce; Hop; Leap) To see oneself hopping on one leg in a dream means
moving from an old place into a new one. If one takes a broad leap with one jump
in his dream it means travels. Hopping on one leg because of an illness or an
impairment in a dream means loss of half of one’s money or property and finding
it difficult to sustain one’s needs with the balance. Playing football or hopping
with a ball, or jumping while performing acrobatic exercises, or gymnastic feats
in a dream means profits or benefits for someone who is used to play such games,
or participates in such training. Otherwise, it could mean facing dangerous or
severe adversity. In a dream, jumping from place to place also means false news,
fabricated accusations, changing moods with one’s friends, or finding oneself
bored with them. If one jumps over a wall in a dream, it means that he will
change from a believer into a disbeliever or follow the advice of a disbeliever.

Resurrection
(Day of Reckoning; Day of Resurrection; Last Day; Reckoning;
Rising of the dead; Trumpet of Resurrection) Seeing the Day of Resurrection,
or Doomsday in a dream is a serious warning for a sinner, or it could represent
a warning for someone who is contemplating a sinful act. Seeing the Day of
Resurrection in a dream also denotes justice. Beingthe only person resurrected
on such a day means one’s death. Standing up awaiting one’s judgement on the
Day of Resurrection in a dream means travels. If one sees himself and his wife
being the only people who are brought for judgement of the grand Day of
Gathering in a dream, it means that he is being unjust. If a warrior sees the Day
of Resurrection in a dream, it means that by God’s decree, the aggressor shall
be defeated. The land of the grand gathering in a dream represents a chaste
woman or a noble man. The blowing of the Trumpet of Resurrection in a dream
represents the salvation of the righteous ones. Seeing any of the great ex¬
traordinary events or signs that shall precede the Day of resurrection in a dream
means glad tidings for a believer who does good, and a warning for a disbeliever
to correct himself and repent for his sins before its coming. Seeing the Day of
Resurrection in a dream also denotes that some of the major signs are actually
taking place, such as blood shedding, spread of evil, belligerence of atheism,
pride about wealth, ruling of the working class, building high rises, the end of
the era of kings on earth, or it could remind the person of the prophesied signs,
such as the rising of the sun from the West, the emergence of a beast that will
speak with a human tongue, the rising of the Imposter (arb. Dajjal. Antichrist),
etcetera. Seeing the Day of Resurrection in a dream also represents the spread
of evil, the presence of an extended police force, and the ruling of large armies
and dictatorships around the world. Thus, seeing the Day of Resurrection in a
dream is a reminder and a warning to the one who sees it. If one sees the graves
splitting open, dead people resurrected back to life and are walking out of them
accompanied with their angels in a dream, it means that justice will prevail in
that land. If one experiences the resurrection in a dream, then discovers that
the world went back to continue its prior course , it means that justice will
dominate that land for a while, then it will be followed by a tyranny that will
be carried by people who are not even suspected to be of such character. Such
a dream also could be interpreted to suit a person who is seeking the impossible,
or one who is adamant at pursuing the path of wrongdoing, falsehood and lies.
Recognizing the eminent final signs of the Day of Reckoning in a dream means
that one is unaware of his heedlessness and such dream constitutes a warning.
If one’s reckoning is easy in a dream, it denotes his wife’s piety, compassion and
love for him. If one’s reckoning is detailed and painful in a dream, then it
represents major losses. If one’s good deeds weigh heavier than his bad deeds
in the dream, it means that his devotion is true and that his reward will be
greater. If one sees himself carrying the scale to weigh his own deeds in a dream,
it denotes his righteousness and correctness. If one sees an angel handing him
his records and telling him to read his own book in the dream, it also means that
he is on the right path. Walking on the bridge of the Day of Judgment, carrying
one’s own records and crying in a dream means that one is praying for God’s
forgiveness and to ease his reckoning. If one sees the Doomsday in a dream, it
means that he will escape from dangerous enemies, or that perhaps a major trial
will befall the dwellers of that place. If one crosses the Bridge of Judgement in
a dream, it means that he will escape a major trial, or perhaps it could represent
a major hurdle one may have to cross in this life. If one sees himself carrying
his book of records in his right hand in a dream, it means that he will win
righteousness, wealth and honor. If one sees himself carrying his book of records
in his left hand in a dream, it means that he will fall into sin and the consequent
poverty and need of others, for wealth and adultery do not mix. If one witnesses
the emergence of the Imposter ( Antichrist ) in a dream, it signifies new trends,
innovations and masses straying from the straight path. (Also see Intercession;
Reckoning; Rising of the dead; Trumpet of Resurrection)

Blunder
(Foolish talk; Nonsense; or people’s foolish talk) Blunder in a dream

Sable
(Fur; Marten) In a dream, a sable represents an ungrateful person, a
disbeliever, or an unjust person who lives in isolation, amasses wealth and no
one can benefit from his riches until he dies. (Also see Fur coat; Fur)

Quran
(Garden; Holy Book; The Last Revelation) In a dream, the holy Quran
represents a garden because when one looks at it, it looks like a beautiful garden
and its verses are the fruit of knowledge and wisdom the reader can pluck.
Learning a Quranic verse, a saying of God’s Prophet (uwbp), a prophetic
tradition, or a craft in a dream means richness after poverty, or guidance after
heedlessness. If one sees himself in a dream reading from the pages the holy
Quran, it signifies honor, command, happiness and victory. Reciting the Quran
by heart and without reading the pages of the holy Book in a dream means
proving to be true, or having a true claim, being pious, commanding what is good
and forbidding what is evil. If one is told a verse from the holy Quran in a dream,
he should understand it, memorize it and comply with the same. If the verse
reads about mercy or glad tidings or other admonitions in the dream, the
interpretation of one’s dream should be the same. If the Quranic verses recited
in the dream connote an advice, one should act upon it in order for him to reap
its benefits. If one hears a Quranic verse containing a warning, promising
punishment for the disbelievers, or announcing a swift retribution for their sins,
then one should immediately repent for his sins, even if the verses relate to
previous nations or times. If one sees himself reciting the Quran and under¬
standing what it says in a dream, it denotes his vigilance, intelligence, faith and
spiritual awareness. If a Quranic verse is recited to someone, and if he does not
agree with the divine judgement in the dream, it means that he will suffer harm
from someone in authority, or that a punishment from God Almighty will soon
befall him. If an unlettered person sees himself reading the holy Quran in a
dream, it could also mean his death, or his reading of his own records. If one sees
himself reading the holy Quran without true interest in it in a dream, it means
that he follows his own mind, personal interpretations and innovations. If one
sees himself eating the pages of the holy Quran in a dream, it means that he
earns his livelihood from his knowledge of it. If one sees himself completing the
reading of the entire Quran in a dream, it means that a splendid reward from
his Lord is awaiting him, and that he will get whatever he asks for. If a
disbeliever sees himself reading the holy Quran in a dream, the verses of
admonition will help him in his life, the verses of punishment will be his warning
from God Almighty and the parables will denote his need to contemplate the
meaning. If one sees himself writing the verses of the holy Quran on slabs of
a mother of pearl, or on a piece of cloth in a dream, it means that he interprets
it according to his own liking. If one sees himself inscribing a Quranic verse on
the ground in a dream, it means that he is an atheist. It is also said that reading
the Quran in a dream means fulfillment of one’s needs, clearing of one’s heart
and establishment of one’s success in his life. If one discovers that he has
memorized the Quran in a dream, though in wakefulness he has not memorized
it, it means that he will own a large property. Hearing the verses of the holy
Quran in a dream means the strengthening of one’s power, reaching a praiseworthy
end to his life, and that one will be protected from the envy and jealousy of
evildoing people. If a sick person sees himself reciting a verse from the holy
Quran, but could not remember to what chapter it belongs in the dream, it
means that he will recover from his illness. Licking the holy Quran in a dream
means that one has committed a major sin. Reciting the holy Quran in a dream
means increase in one’s good deeds and rising in his station. (Also see Holy Book;
Pearl necklace; Reading)

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)

Arabic months
(Lunar months: 1- Muharram; 2- 3- Rabi-'uIAwal; 4- Rabi'u
Thani'; 5-Jamadul Awwal; 6- Jamadu Thani'; 7- Rajab; 8- Sha'ban; 9- Ramadan;
10- Shawwal; 11- Zul-Qi'dah; 12- Zul-Hiliah) Seeing a dream during the month of Muharram means that the dream is most true as it is seen. Thus, having a
dream during the month of Muharram could be even called a vision and it never
fails. Such a dream means success, relief from difficulties, release from a prison,
or recovering from an illness. If the person had retreated from his town, he will
return to it. This interpretation is based on the story of God's prophet Jonah,
upon whom be peace, after he emerged from the belly of the whale. Perhaps the
person in the dream may face a great spiritual challenge in his life, or it could
mean the death of a great man of knowledge or the emergence of such a gnostic
or wise man in that city. If the person seeing the dream is a sinner, it means that
he will repent of his sins, for God Almighty has accepted the repentance ofAdam,
upon whom be peace, during that month. If the person in the dream is one who
hopes for a station of honor, he will attain it, because God Almighty has raised
the prophet Enoch (Idrls) upon whom be peace, to a high station during that
month. If a traveller sees a dream during that month, it means that he will safely
return home from a long journey, because it is the month in which the prophet
Noah upon whom be peace, was saved with his people, and it is the month in
which the arc settle on top of Mount Judiyyi. If the seer desires a son, then he
will beget a righteous son, because it is the month in which God's prophets
Abraham and Jesus, upon both of them be peace, were born. If the person seeing
the dream is suffering from tight financial circumstances and if he desired a way
out, it means that he will see the light or escape from the danger of his enemy,
because this is the month in which God's prophet Abraham was saved from the
fire ofNimrod, or perhaps, ifhe had followed a path of innovation and falsehood,
he will turn back to God Almighty and repent of his sin, because it is also the
month in which God Almighty forgave the prophet David, upon whom be peace.
If the person in the dream is impeached from his leadership position or stripped
from his status, he will return to his office and regain honor, because it is also
the month in which God Almighty returned the prophet Solomon to his kingdom.
If one is bedridden, it means that he will recover from his illness, because it is
the month in which the prophet Job (uwbp) recovered from his illness, or
perhaps it could mean that one will be sent as an emissary with a mission, or
as an ambassador, because it is during this month that God Almighty spoke to
His prophet Moses upon whom be peace. As for the second lunar month, known
in Arabic as Safar, having a dream during it could be interpreted as follows: If
one is pessimistic about what he saw, then it could mean the opposite. If he is
sick, it means recovering from his illness. If one is needy, it means that his needs
will be satisfied. If one is suffering from stress and worries, it means that they
can cause him no harm. If one sees his dream during the third lunar month,
known in Arabic as Rabt-rul Awwal, and if he is a merchant, it means that his
business will grow, prosper and that his money will be blessed or perhaps he may
conceive a child during that month. If he is under stress and worries, they will
be dispelled. Ifhe is persecuted or treated unjustly, he will end in a triumph,
or it could mean that he will hear good news, or he may be appointed as a
governor, or he may admonish people to do good and discard evil, for it is the
month in which God's Prophet Muhammad, upon whom be peace, was born to
this world. If one's dream takes place during the fourth lunar month, known in
Arabic as Rabi'u Thiini, and if it suggests glad tidings, then one may have to
wait and exercise patience, but ifit suggests evil, then such happening will come
fast. During this month, seeing a dream also means victory over one's enemy,
or it could mean conceiving a blessed son who will grow to become a gnostic, or
a hero, for it is during this month that the Imam 'Ali, may God bless his
countenance and be forever pleased with him was born. As for the fifth lunar
month, known in Arabic as Jamiidul Awwal, seeing a dream during this month
means that one should slow down or scrutinize his buying and selling, or it could
mean that he may lose his daughter or wife, for it is in this month that the daughter of God's Messenger, upon whom be peace, Fatima died. May God. be
forever pleased with her. If the dream happens during the sixth lunar month,
known in Arabic as Jamadu Thaw, and if the dream carries a good meaning,
it will come, but slow and one should not contradict it. If one sees this dream
during the seventh lunar month, known in Arabic as Rajab, it means that he
will gain honor and status, for it is the month of the prophet's Ascension (Mi'raj)
and his night journey to the seventh heaven. A dream during the eighth lunar
month, known in Arabic as Sha'ban, represents honor and ranks, for during
this month, every good deed will be honored. As for the ninth lunar month,
known in Arabic as Ramadan, in it, all difficulties will be suspended, evil will
be shun and stinginess will be dispelled. During this month all what is good will
manifest and bad dream will dissipate to become null and void. During this
month, the dreams of a believer may be differently interpreted than the dream
of a disbeliever. If one sees the month of Ramadan in his dream, his dream
means blessings, profits, commanding good and forbidding evil. If the person is
seeking knowledge, then knowledge will be given to him, for it is during this
great month that the Holy Qur'an was revealed. If the person is inflicted with
epilepsy, he will recover from it, for the devils and all evil spirits are shackled
and are rendered powerless during this month. As for the tenth lunar month,
known in Arabic as Shawwal, if one's dream suggests a war or a conflict, it
means that he will come first in it, and that he will triumph. If one sees the
month of Shawwal in his dream, it means that he will come out of difficulties
and finds happiness and devotion, for it is the month during which that God's
House, known as the Ka'aba was built. As for the eleventh lunar month, known
in Arabic as Zul-Qi'dah, if one's dream suggests a trip, then the person should
refrain from taking that trip or perhaps he should delay it for the better. He also
should guard himself where he lives. If the dream denote stress or worries, then
he should avoid whatever may cause them. However, if one's dream takes place
during the twelfth lunar month, known inArabic as Zul-Hijjah indicates a journey
then one may take it, or if it denotes a good business, one should seek it, for it
is a most blessed month and it is the month of festivities and sacrifices. If one
sees this month in his dream or sees himself offering sacrifices in it, or if he sees
himself praying the festival of Sacrifice prayers in it, his dream means paying
one's debts or fulfilling one's vows, repentance from sin, guidance or perhaps his
dream may indicate the death of great people of knowledge, the impeachment
of governors, the changing of governments, or it could mean a sudden war.

Alms tax
(Tithe) Paying the dues alms tax in a dream means increase in one’s
income or prosperity. If a rich man sees himself paying the due tithe on his liquid
assets in a dream, it means increase in his wealth, a spiritual growth and
receiving the blessing of performing one’s obligatory prayers on time. Payment
of one’s due tithe also represents protection from one’s enemies. Paying alms tax
in a dream also means performing supererogatory prayers during the night,
repayment of debts, absolution, or it could mean paying a fine. Alms tax in a
dream also means the death of a dear person in the family, or it could mean
losing a limb due to an illness or an accident, giving a charity for the benefit of
a departed soul, or payment of one’s debts. Thus, paying alms tax in a dream
may mean increase in one’s wealth, recovering from illness or payment of one’s
debts, all of which earn levels of exaltation and blessings. To pay charity on one’s
property of silver in a dream means begetting a son, or it could mean getting
married. If it is a poor person, then paying alms tax in a dream represents God’s
acceptance of one’s deeds. If he is a sinner, it means that he will repent of sin
and earn lawful money, and if he is a disbeliever, it means that he will become
a believer. (Also see Charity; Endowment; Tithe collector)

Archangel Gabriel
(Upon him be peace.) Seeinghim in a dream and feelinghappy
for his meeting brings glad tidings. If the archangel Gabriel in one’s dream
speaks to him, advises him, or admonishes him in the dream, it means receiving
a great honor, strength, victory in one’s life and glad tidings. If the person is
oppressed, it means that he will triumph at the end. If he is sick, it means that
he will recover from his illness. If he is in a state of depression or fear, it means
that he will overcome it and he shall sail into success. If he had not yet performed
his pilgrimage to Mecca, it means that he will fulfill it. Seeing the archangel
Gabriel in a dream also means glad tidings of martyrdom, even if the person
lives a long life. If one receives some food or fruits from him in the dream, it
means that he is one of the dwellers of paradise. However, if a disbeliever sees
him in a dream, it means that he will face tribulations and punishments in his
life. If he considers the archangel Gabriel and the archangel Michael as equals
in a dream, it means that he agrees with the people of Jewish faith. To his own
detriment, such a person might steer into an activity that is opposite to God’s
instructions and consequently earns himself God’s wrath. If the archangel
Gabriel (uwbp) greets someone in his dream, it means that such a person will
become a great man of knowledge and he will be recognized and distinguished
in his own field. The archangel Gabriel in a dream also represents the messenger
of the king, the confidant, the carrier of glad tidings or the person who
announces the birth of a son. Seeing him in a dream also indicates increase in
one’s devotion, learning and acquiring in-depth knowledge of mystical realities.
Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also signifies the smooth rising of the soul after
death for someone who is dying. The archangel Gabriel in a dream also
represents a movement, struggle, triumph and understanding the meanings of
religious knowledge or learning the secrets of astrology. If one sees the arch¬
angel Gabriel distressed in a dream, it means that a calamity will befall the
person seeing the dream. If one becomes Gabriel in a dream, it means that he
will become generous, magnanimous and blessed in his actions and performances.

Wall
A wall in a dream represents knowledge, guidance, cognizance, knowing
secrets, judgment, or separation between friend. Standing by a wall or sitting
on it, and depending on its conditions in a dream represents one’s own state. A
wall in a dream also represents a strong, wealthy, powerful and religious person.
If the wall needed urgent repairs, and if a group of people come to rescue it in
the dream, it represents a man of knowledge, or the Imam of a mosque who has
lost his control or respect, then some friends will come to his rescue and to help
him restore his rank. If a successful businessman sees the walls of his house
collapsing in a dream, it means that he will recuperate a lost treasure. If one
sees a wall caving over his head, or falling over other people in a dream, it means
that he has committed many sins and unless his repents, his punishment will
be swift. The caving-in of a wall toward the inside of a house in a dream means
an illness, but if it falls toward the outside in the dream, it means death. Seeing
a crack in the wall in a dream means that someone in the family will brace
against him. Grabbing to a wall in a dream means the nearing of one’s death,
pending how firmly one is grabbing to it in the dream. Grabbing to a wall in a
dream is also interpreted as holding firmly to one’s interest in a strong person.
If one builds a wall then tears it down in a dream, it means that he will attempt
at destroying someone’s livelihood, or perhaps kill him. If one sees and recognizes
a wall in his dream, it represents a close friend who may die from depression.
A wall in a dream is also interpreted as a mighty person who cannot be managed
except through kindness. Jumping over a wall in a dream means reverting from
being a believer to a disbeliever, or accepting and following the advice of a
disbeliever. Seeing one’s picture reflected in a wall in a dream means one’s
death, and that his name will be itched on his gravestone. If a traveller sees
himself returning to his house, whereby its walls are renewed, it means that he
will get married. Seeping water from a crack in a wall in one’s dream means
adversities and stress. (Also see Walls of the city)

Bees
In a dream, bees represent prosperity, or a dangerous adventure. Seeing a
beehive and extracting honey from it in a dream means earning lawful money.
Taking all the honey from the beehive and leaving nothing for the bees in a
dream means being unjust. If bees sit over one’s head in a dream, it means
winning the presidency over people. If bees sit in someone’s hands in a dream,
they mean a good crop for a farmer, while for someone else, they means a fight.
Bees in a dream also represent an army. Killing bees in a dream means
obliterating one’s enemy. Bees in a dream also represent scholars, knowledge
compilers, striving hard or collecting taxes. Bees in a dream also represent a
bread winner who is a hard working person, stern and sometime dangerous,
though he does bring some benefits to his companions. A bee sting in a dream
means harm driven by a group of adversaries. Bees in a dream also mean taking
a beating or falling sick. Bees in a dream also represent the army of believers,
while locusts represent the army of disbelievers. A bee in a dream also
represents a seer. (Also see Beehive)

bates.

Sweets
Seeing or eating sweets in a dream indicates one’s sincerity in his
religious attendance, release of a prisoner, arrival of a traveller, recovery of a
sick person, marriage of an unwed person, guidance, repentance, learning the
Quran, buying new clothing for one’s children, having a loyal servant, or
earning blessed monies. Seasonal sweets in a dream represent witnessing an
annual festival, or the reinstatement of a just ruler. To feel saturated with
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)
