wrongdoing. Being a slave in a dream also means distress. Being sold in a dream
also means worries, unless if the buyer is a woman, then it means that he will
be honored and well treated. His value and comfort then will depend on the price
he is sold for in the dream. If an unmarried woman is sold as a slave in a dream,
it means that she will marry the one who bought her. If a man sells his wife in
a dream, it means that he will divorce her. If one is captured and turned into

Reins
(Bridle; Harness) In a dream, reins represent mastery of one’s craft, control
of his trade, or it could signify power and a strong financial standing. Reins in
a dream also represent a coachman, or the driver who never disobeys his master,
and who goes wherever he is told to go. Riding on a workhorse who is fitted with
a harness, or on a bridled nag in a dream means occupying an important office
and letting everyone who works for the leader make an oath of allegiance before
hiring them for work. If the bridle and the martingale are unadorned in the
dream, then such a dream represents a humble person, and connotes that his
heart is better than what his outer look may suggest. Reins in a dream also
connote safety or a safety belt. Wearing a harness in a dream means safety, and
that one does not interfere with others’ business or talk about them. However,
should one who has to appear in court see himself wearing a harness in a dream,
it means that his proof will not be accepted by the judge, and subsequently he
will lose his case. If the reins of one’s horse are broken in a dream, it could mean
the death of his driver. Reins in a dream also denote chastity, guardianship and
protection. They also represent the obligatory payment of alms tax which
cleanses and protects one’s capital. If the reins or the harness fall from one’s
hand in the dream, it means corruption in one’s religious life, a decline in his
devotion, or that one’s wife will become unlawful to him (i.e., living together
after a divorce), or that she will remain in his house without a legal marriage.
To see oneself bridled in a dream also means refraining from sin, or observing
a voluntary religious fast. A broken bridle in a dream is good for one who service
it and bad for its owner. (Also see Bridle)

Angels
(Celestial beings; Heavenly beings) If one sees the heavenly angels (arb.
Mala’ika) coming before him to congratulate him in a dream, it means that God
Almighty has forgiven that person his sins and endowed him with patience,
through which he will attain success in this life and in the hereafter. If one sees
the heavenly angels greeting him or giving him something in the dream, it

adversities, it means that their calamities will be lifted. Flying with angels or
visiting the heavens in their company in a dream may mean that one will die
in the station of a martyr and receive God’s utmost blessings. If one feels scared
of the angels in his dream, it means that a fight, an argument or awesome trials
will befall that locality. In general, to see the angels descending from the
heavens to the earth in a dream means enfeeblement of those who have doubt,
and strength for those who have faith and certitude. If one sees the angels
prostrating to him in a dream, it means that all his needs will be satisfied and
he will be endowed with good conduct, good behavior and a blessed fame. If one

Almighty. If a pious person sees an angel telling him in a dream: “Read God’s
Book.” It means that one will attain happiness in his life. If an impious person
sees an angel in a dream telling him: “Read your own records.” It means that
he may go astray. If one sees the angels giving him glad tidings and congratulating
him in a dream, it means that he will beget a blessed son who will grow to be
righteous and an example to be followed. If one sees a gathering of angels in a
town in his dream, it means that a pious man, or an ascetic, or a great scholar
will die in that locality. If one sees himself looking at the angels in the skies in
a dream, it means that he may suffer the loss of a son or his wealth. Seeing the
celestial angels (arb. Ruhaniyyeen ) in a dream means gaining honor, dignity,
blessings in one’s life, profits and a good fame, developing spiritual inner
insight, or becoming a business manager. Near the end of one’s life, one who sees
such a dream also will suffer from people’s slander and backbiting. He will also
lose his good reputation to people’s envy and evil qualities and he will live in
tight financial conditions. If one becomes an angel in a dream, it means tat he
will receive honor, power, overcome his adversities, dispel his distress and win
his freedom, or it could mean that he will rise in station. If one sees the angels
greeting him and shaking hands with him in a dream, it means that God
Almighty will endow him with wisdom, clarity and insight. Angels in a dream
also represent one’s closest witnesses, guardians, police officers or the emissar¬

it is a sign of his death. If one sees an angel taking the form of a child in a dream,
it represents one’s future. If he sees an angel as a youth, the youth then
represents the present time and whatever events that will take place during it.
If the angel appears in the form of an old man in the dream, he represents the
past. If one sees the angels praying and asking for God’s forgiveness on his
behalf in a dream, it means that one’s spiritual and religious life will grow for
the better, and that he will become wealthy. If one sees angels descending upon
a cemetery in a dream, it signifies the presence of blessed and righteous souls
in that place. If one sees angels walking in the markets in a dream, it means that
the merchants are trifling with prices and playing with the measures. If the
angels who are in charge of punishing the sinner in hell walk before a dying
person and he does not fear them in the dream, it means peace and tranquility.
If one sees the angels teaching a dying person how to recite his final rites in a
dream, it means glad tidings and attainment of what his heart desires, a
guarantee of his safety, happiness, joy and of having a blessed and a good heart.
If he sees them angry with him or beating him or subduing and taming him in
a dream, it means that he may revert to sin, earn the displeasure of his parents,
disdain from complying with God’s commands, or he could even come to deny
the necessity of God’s religion. Such angels in a dream also represent the
emissaries of a governor or his deputies. If a dying person is told in the dream
that no angels have come to see him, then it is a testimony of his good character
and piety, or it could mean payment of one’s debts or recovering from an illness.
Angels in a dream also could represent scholars, gnostics or translators who
understand people’s languages and speak in many tongues. As for Munkar and
Nakir, the angels who come to one’s grave upon his burial to question him,
seeing them in a dream means prosperity for a poor person, and finding work
for a jobless person. (Also see Castration)

pursuing Satan in his evil actions and it means failing one’s promise. Blaming
oneself in a dream means doubt, disturbance and confusion for which one will
be rebuked. He will then be relieved to pursue his enemy, to overcome him and
become free from people’s reproach. Blaming someone in a dream, means the
same in wakefulness, and consequently, one will suffer from people blaming
him. If one sees people showering him with money in a dream, it means that they
are speaking ill of him or blaming him. If one sees people praising him in a
dream, it also means that he is praiseworthy and does good. (Also see Censure)

interpreted differently. A large urn represents a prostitute. In a dream, a
cistern or any large conical jar made of porous clay and used in storing water
represents a caretaker, a custodian or a curator, the head of the household, his

Pot
(Cooking pot; Vessel) In a dream, a cooking pot represents one’s wife, his
livelihood and home, while the lid represents the husband. If the pot looks in
a good condition and of value in one’s dream, then it represents his nobility and
honor. A pottery cookware salesman in a dream represents comfort and one does
not need to travel to earn his livelihood, while a copper cookware or other types
of cookware salesman in a dream represent a livelihood based on travelling from

woman. A pot in a dream also represents a handsome looking man who cares
about his neighbors’ opinions. A pot in a dream also could represent a house¬

is a sick person in a family, and if one sees a cooking pot he does not know what’s
inside it in a dream, the stove here represents his bed, the fire represents his
depression and the boiling water represents his worries. If the boiling stops, and
if the contents start to cool down, and if the fire is put off in one’s dream, it means
that he will recover from his illness. Putting a pot with meat and vegetables on
the stove in a dream means imposing oneself on someone to receive a favor. If
the meat is cooked in his dream, it means that one will greatly benefit from such
a person, and his earnings will be lawful. If the meat does not cook, it means that
whatever he earns through the other person will be unlawful. Stirring a pot in
a dream means backbiting someone. If one eats directly from the pot in a dream,
it represents money one could save otherwise beside other benefits. If the pot
one is stirring in his dream does not contain any meat or food, it means that he
will ask a poor person to do something beyond his means, and consequently he
will not benefit from his doing. A cooking pot in a dream also represents one’s
relentlessness toward his enemy. A pot in a dream also denotes one’s content¬
ment and his acceptance of his destiny and of the divine providence. A pot in a

Turban
(Crown; Headgear; Tiara) In a dream, one’s turban represents his family
tree, his paternal uncle, or his paternal aunt. In a dream, one’s turban also
represents his crown, strength, integrity, state, or wife. If one’s turban is taken
away from him in a dream, it means that he may lose his job, divorce his wife,
or lose his wealth. The same interpretation is given for one who sees himself
wearing a golden turban in a dream. If a prophet of God Almighty, or a ruler
crowns someone with a turban in a dream, it means that he will receive an
important appointment, or that he may marry a pious woman. Putting on a
turban in a dream means increase in one’s strength, expansion of one’s control,

Night
(Darkness; Heedlessness; Ignorance) In a dream, a moonless night represents
lack of work, stagnation, or losing one’s job. If one sees the whole world in the
dark and the moon is still radiant in the skies in a dream, it means that the
governor will temporarily relinquish his entire duties to his chief minister or
secretary, and that thieves and robbers will cluster around them for business.
If one then sees the daylight in his dream, it means that such an adversity will
pass. If people are under siege in the dream and the daylight dawns after a long
dark night in a dream, it means that their siege will be lifted. If people are
suffering from high prices and someone sees that dream, it means that prices
will go back to normal. If they are suffering from tyranny, it too will pass. The
night in a dream also means marital relations, while the day means separation

day in a dream also represent wisdom and protocols, or indulging in something

dream means facing trouble and adversities. (Also see Den; Mouse hole; Tunnel)

represents a king or a judge who deals with Islamic jurisprudence. If a king, a
ruler, or a judge sees that the Holy Book does no longer exist, or if he sees it
burning, or if its contents are washed away in a dream, it means his death. If
one sees a ruler or a governor handwriting a copy of the Holy Book in a dream,
it means that he is a just person who uses the divine laws in making his decision.
If a judge sees himself handwritings copy of the Holy Book in a dream, it means
that he does not share his knowledge, and that he is audacious about his rank
and status. If a religious scholar or a theologian sees himself writing a copy of
Holy Book in a dream, it means that he will profit from a business deal. If one
sees a king, or a ruler swallowing the Holy Book in a dream, it means that he
may die soon. If a judge swallows the Holy Book in a dream, it means that he
accepts bribes. If a ruler sees himself erasing what is written in the Holy Book
in a dream, it means that he will be exiled. If a judge erases what is written in
the Holy Book in a dream, it also means his death. If he erases it by licking it
with his own tongue in a dream, it means that he will commit an awful sin. If
a witness erases it in a dream, it means that he will deny his own testimony.
Carrying the Holy Book, or buying a copy of the Quran in a dream means living
by its criterion. Reading from the Holy Book before God’s Prophet, upon whom
be peace, in a dream means that one will commit himself to memorizing it.
Eating the pages of the Holy Book in a dream means accepting bribes. If a
layman eats the pages of the Holy Book, or few lines from some pages in a dream,
it means that he earns his livelihood from reciting the Holy Quran or teaching

that he has lost his religious devotion and faith. Carrying a copy of the Holy Book
in a dream means attaining power and acquiring knowledge. The Holy Book in
a dream also represents a husband, a wife, a son, or wealth. If a sick person sees

it in his dream is facing an enemy, it means that he will triumph over him. If
he is a sinner, it means that he will repent of his sins and turn to his Lord, or
it could mean that he may receive an inheritance. If one sees himself following
innovations and he recognizes that in his sleep, his dream denotes a warning

teacher, or shaikh, or it could mean making a true oath, receiving glad tidings,
admonition or a warning. Seeing the Holy Book or any of the early divine
revelations in a dream means that one may preside over people. If one sees
himself carrying the Holy Book, or even any book of revelations, and if when he
opens it finds the pages blank with no writing inside it in the dream, it means
that he portrays himself to be what he is not, or that he impersonates a scholar,
or pretends to be religious. Kissing the Holy Book in a dream means revering
what it contains and adhering to what it commands. If one looks into the pages
of the Holy Book and finds its lines crooked in a dream, it means that he lives
satisfied with what he has, and fulfills his required duties accordingly. Stealing
a copy of the Holy Book and hiding it in a dream means that one cheats in
performing his own prayers, or fails to do them properly. If one sees himself
looking in the Holy Book, then writing from what he is reading on his own
garment in the dream, it means that he interprets the Quranic revelation
according to his own liking. If one sees a Holy Book sitting in his lap, then if a
chick comes and picks all the words written therein in a dream, it means that
one will beget a child who will memorize and read the Holy Quran as an
inheritance, and benefit from the piety of his father, and as a trust, a lawful
earning and a source of strength in his life. Buying a copy of the Holy Book in
dream means benefits, prosperity and becoming a renowned and a distinguished
religious scholar. If the Holy Book is snatched away from someone’s hands in
a dream, it means that he will lose his knowledge, or perhaps lose his employment.
If one sees himself spreading the pages of the Holy Book on a flat surface in a
dream, it means that he is seeking wisdom which he will get, or that he may
receive an inheritance. If one sees himself putting the Holy Book over his
shoulders in a dream, it means that he will receive an appointment, or be
entrusted with a duty to guard, or that he will memorize the Holy Quran. If one
finds himself trying to eat the pages of the Holy Book in a dream, it means that
he is a regular reader of the Quran. If one sees himself trying to eat the pages
of the holy Book but is unable to do so in a dream, it means that he tries to
memorize the Holy Quran from time to time but keeps forgetting what he
learns. (Also see Quran)

Garden
(Flower garden) A garden in a dream means repentance, and repentance
from sin in a dream means a garden. Watering one’s garden in a dream means
having marital relations. If one sees his garden dry in a dream, it means that
his wife has commenced her menstrual period during which he is not permitted
to have sexual intercourse with her. If he sees someone else watering his garden
in a dream, it means that such a person will betray him with his wife. If one sees
himself entering an unknown garden with its trees unattended and its pasture
unkempt in a dream, it means distress and worries. A garden in a dream also
represents a woman. They both need water and they both bear fruits or children.
In this case, if the garden is interpreted to represent a woman, then its trees and
fruits represent her tribe, family and children. An unknown garden in a dream
also represents the Holy Quran. A garden in a dream also represents a
marketplace, a new bride’s house, a property, an animal domesticated for
service, a shop, a business, a tavern, a bathhouse, generosity, an army made of
slaves, cattle or personal assets. If one sees himself inside a garden in a dream,
it means comfort and growth in his life. If the house to which this garden belongs
is God’s house, then the man seeing it is in paradise. If he is sick, it means that
he will die from his illness and enter that paradise. If the garden is unknown
in the dream, it means martyrdom and particularly if he finds inside the garden
a woman calling him to herself, or to drink milk or honey from the garden’s rivers
and the same is true if the garden does not look like the ones he is accustomed
to see in the world. Otherwise, If one sees himself looking at a garden, and if he
is unmarried, it means that he will meet a suitable woman and get married. If
he is married, it means that he will receive joy from his wife equal to that which
he received from the garden in his dream. If one finds within such a garden a
group of associates or colleagues, the garden then represents a marketplace. If
one sees a servant or a worker of his urinating inside a well or a stream inside
such a garden in the dream, it means that a relative will betray the interests
of the family. A garden whose owner is known in a dream represents a mosque,
a park, people of knowledge, ignorant people, the generous ones or the stingy
ones. It also represents a meeting place where the rich and the poor, the
righteous and the insolent gather. A garden in a dream also may indicate a
religious center, a school, a center for scientific research and studies, a place of
worship, etcetera. If one enters a garden at the season of plucking its fruits in
a dream, it means glad tidings, money and increase in one’s good deeds,
marriage or children. On the other hand, if he enters a garden in the fall in a
dream, it means defamation, indebtedness, divorce, or it could mean loss of a
child. Seeing a deceased person in a garden means that he is in paradise. A
garden in a dream also represents a source of nourishment. Its fruits are colorful
and their taste ranges from sweet to salty and from sour to bitter. (Also see House
garden; Quran)

Astrologer
(Foreseer; Fortuneteller; Predictor; Soothsayer) Seeing an astrologer
in a dream means associating oneself with spiritual masters and witnessing
some of their miraculous signs. An astrologer in a dream also may mean
knowledge of people’s secrets, curiosity, inquisitiveness, meddling in people’s
affairs, divulging people’s secrets, soothsaying, fortune-telling, backbiting,
predicting the future, hearsay, gossip, distress or trouble. If the one who is
seeing the dream suffers from any of the above ills, seeing an astrologer in a
dream also means dispelling such misfortunes. Seeing an astrologer in a dream
also signifies marriage, divorce, the death of a sick person, travels, delivering
a baby, hearing good or bad news. Seeing an astrologer in a dream also may
denote knowledge, following the true path and acting upon it, for a God fearing
astrologer mostly arbitrates by the prophetic rules. (Also see Astrolabe; Divi¬
nation; Fortuneteller)

Dates
(Fruit; Palm tree) In a dream, dates mean money or a good message. Eating
dates in a dream means earning lawful income. Dates are like money, they do
not have a long shelve life. Unripened dates in a dream indicate the availability
of water for those who need it. Red unripened dates in a dream may signify some
type of blood disease, whereby the red cells grow to exceed in number the white
cells. Dates in a dream also mean rain. Eating dates in a dream means reading
the Holy Quran and reaping benefits from one’s religion. Buried dates in a
dream represent one’s savings. If one sees himself burying dates in a dream, it
also means stealing from the property and money of orphans. Dates placed to
dry in the open represent money which does not last. To harvest dates in a dream
in season means that one may get married to a noble and a wealthy woman. It
also means acquiring knowledge. Harvesting dates out of season in a dream
means that one will learn something good but fail to act upon it. If one see that
he is fanning himself with a tender and a wet branch of a palm tree in a dream
it means learning something beneficial from a hypocrite, or it may mean relief
from distress. If a woman sees herself eating ripened dates that are dripping
with juices in the dream, it means that she will receive an inheritance from her
husband and that her name will be included in his will, even if she is divorced.
If one sees himself taking a date, splitting it in half and extracting the date pit
from it in a dream, it means that he will beget a son. Eating fresh dates in a
dream means hearing good words beside other benefits. (Also see Bunch of dates;
Date spread)

Anger
(Fury; Indignation; Rage) Leaving one’s home angry in a dream means
entering a prison. If one gets angry for material gains in a dream, it means that
he has disdain and contempt toward God’s religion. However, should he get
angry in his dream to defend God’s rights, then it means gaining strength and
power. Becoming angry for someone else’s sake in a dream signifies a corrupt
contract, a tainted agreement, a marriage consent with a hidden intent of a
divorce to follow, fighting for unlawful earnings, or it could mean accumulating
money from usury. In a dream, usury and anger mean falsehood in wakefulness.

King
(God Almighty; Governor; Mayor; President; Royalty; Sultan) The true King
is God Almighty. If the king is pleased with someone in a dream, it means that
God Almighty is pleased with him, and if the king is angry with him in the
dream, it means that God Almighty is displeased with him. If one sees the king
frowning in a dream, it means that he fails to properly perform his prayers or
show true religious devotion. If one sees him smiling in a dream, it means profits
in one’s material as well as spiritual life. If one sees that God Almighty has
appointed him as a king over a land, it means that he will receive such a regency,
should he qualify. Later on, unrest will bring tyrants, or dictators to justice,
while people of knowledge and piety will survive and regain their authority. If
one sees himself as a calif or as an Imam in a dream and should he qualify, it
means that he will receive such an honor, rank, trust and fame in the land,
though his vice-regency will not become hereditary. However, it is a bad omen
if he becomes a calif in the dream and does not qualify for such an appointment.
In such a case, and by contrast, he will be humiliated and dispersed, and his own
helpers will become his superiors, while his enemies will rejoice at his misfortune.
If one sees himself as a king in a dream, though in reality he does not qualify,
it means that he may die quickly, and the same is true if a sick person sees
himself turned into a king. If he is healthy, it means that someone in his family
may die shortly. Seeing a king in a dream also denotes exposing hidden secrets.
If a philosopher or a fortuneteller sees himself transformed into a king in a
dream, then it denotes glad tidings should he not complain about it in his dream.
If a slave sees himself becoming a king in a dream, it means that he will be set
free. If one sees himself becoming one of the great kings of this world in a dream,
it means that he will attain worldly success in his life, though it will be
accompanied with religious failure. If the person is a natural con artist, it means
that he will be captured and imprisoned. If a man sees himself awarded a
knighthood that is suitable only for woman, then it means his death. If one sees
the kingreprimandinghim in a dream, it means peace between them. If one sees
himself arguing a case with knowledge and wisdom before a king in a dream,
it means that he will win his case and receive what he came for. If one sees
himself complaisant with the king about his case in the dream, it means that
he will lose his case and the judgment will go the king’s way. If one sees himself
walking with a king and rubbing shoulders with him in the dream, it means that
he will oppose the king or disobey him. If he sees himself following the king in
a dream, it means that he will pursue the king’s traditions during his lifetime
or after his death. If one enters the king’s palace prostrating in a dream, it means
that he will be appointed in a leadership position and receive the king’s pardon.
If one sees himself mixing with the king’s harem, or sleeping with them and
should there be signs of comfort, trueness, or wisdom in his act in the dream,
it means that he will enter the king’s inner circles. Otherwise, should he in the
dream fear the consequences of what is happening, or if he lacks trueness, or
if he slanders them, or indulges in what is unlawful for him to do, then should
he reach the king’s door, it means that he will triumph against his enemies
inside that palace, and they can cause no harm to him. If in his dream, the king
gives him a gift, it means that he will win victory and honor in his life to equal
the value of that gift. If the king gives him a brocaded silk garment in the dream,
it means that he will give him a wife from the royal family. If the king speaks
to someone in a dream, it means honor, fame, wealth after poverty, release from
jail, expansion of one’s business, or victory over one’s enemy. If an appointed
governor sees himself looking into a mirror in a dream, it means that he will be
dismissed from his post. If an appointed king sees someone who looks like him
sitting in his throne in a dream, it means that he will beget a son. If he divorces
his wife in a dream, it means that he will abdicate his throne. To see oneself
sleeping with the king in the same bed and without a curtain between them, and
if the king leaves the bed while one remains resting therein in the dream, it
means that his mixing with the king will incur jealousy, or that he will inherit
him. If one leaves the bed before the king, it means that he will escape from a
great danger. If one sees himself sleeping alone in the king’s bed in a dream, it
means that he will marry a woman from the governing family, or that he may
spend from his own money for the sake of a woman in that palace. If the bed is
in the palace though unknown in the dream, it means that he will become a
member of that government. If a king hears his subjects praising him in a dream,
it means that he will show good qualities. If his subjects shower him with money
in a dream, it means that they speak ill of him or cast blame at him. If they
shower him with sugar in the dream, it means they speak nicely of him, and if
they shower him with stones in the dream, it means that they will speak harshly
of him. If one sees the people paying obeisance and bowing to him in a dream,
it means that they will stand humbly before him. If they prostrate themselves
before him in a dream, it means that they truly praise him. If a king sees himself
following the opinion of a woman in a dream, it means that he will lose his
kingdom or fall victim to depression, or that he will be thrown into jail. If he
opposes her in the dream, it means that he will escape from a great danger. If
a king sees himself walking in a dream when a common subject comes near him
and whispers something in his ear, the commoner here represents the angel of
death ‘Izrail, and it means that the king may die a sudden death. Eating from
the hand of one’s servant in a dream represents the growing of one’s authority,
increase of his business, knowledge, or wisdom. If a king sees himself preparing
a banquet for guests in a dream, it means that his opponents will come to argue
their case, though he will win over them. If he sees himself placing food on the
table in a dream, it means that a messenger will come to see him concerning a
dispute. If the food is sweet, then the problem will end nicely. If the food is
greasy, then the problem will be a lasting one. Sour food then means steadfastness.
Eating on the table of a just and a righteous king in a dream means blessings
and honor. If the king is seen walking alone in the markets in a dream, it means
that he is a humble, just, and a strong ruler. A sick king in a dream represents
weakness in his faith and injustice toward his subjects. If the king is carried over
people’s shoulders in a dream, it means lack of faith and lack of attendance to
one’s religious obligations, or weakness in his ruling. If the king dies and does
not get buried in a dream, it means that the king and his subjects are deviates.
If he is buried and the people walk away from his grave in the dream, it means
that one will pursue something of no benefit, unless God Almighty decrees
otherwise. If one sees the king’s head transformed into a ram’s head in a dream,
it means that the king is a just and a kind ruler. If his head is transformed into
a dog’s head in the dream, then it represents his vile nature. If his chest turns
into a stone in the dream, it means that his heart will become like a rock. If one
sees his own hand turn into the king’s hand in a dream, it means that he will
receive a leadingjob. If one sees the king flying with wings in a dream, it means
that his authority will spread. If his fingers increase in shape or number in the
dream, it means that his greed and injustice will manifest. Any dream about a
deceased king will manifest in his successors or in his progeny.

Tongue
(Interpreter; Pen; Speech writer; Stinger; Translator) In a dream, one’s
tongue represents his translator or his business manager. One’s tongue in a
dream also represents the chief cause of sin. Moving one’s tongue without
speaking in a dream means committing a sin. Seeing an increase in size, width,
or length of one’s tongue in a dream means strength and overcoming one’s
enemy. If one’s tongue becomes elongated with no cause for dispute or argument
in a dream, it means having a bad tongue, or backbiting others, speaking ill
about others, or using base and despicable language. Having a long tongue in
a dream also could mean clarity in one’s speech and eloquence in one’s expressions.
Having two tongues in a dream means acquiring a second language or a second
trade, using a proof other than one’s own in a court of justice, or winning victory
over one’s enemy. If one finds his tongue tied in a dream, it means stagnation
of his business, or it could mean poverty. If black hair grows over one’s tongue
in a dream, it means a fast coming evil. If gray hair grows over one’s tongue in
a dream, then it means a slow coming adversity. Hair growing over one’s tongue
in a dream also means writing or reciting a poem. One’s tongue in a dream also
represents the perfect alibi, the beauty and eloquence of one’s presentation, a
professional presentation, good fame and good conduct. If a governor’s tongue
is cut off in a dream, it means the death of his interpreter or his speech writer.
The human tongue in a dream also represents his pen and his signing authority.
If one’s tongue becomes long and reaches the skies in a dream, it means that he
will be impeached or deposed from his leadership position following his tyranny
and injustices. If the tongue of a leader or a ruler becomes long in a dream, it
also signifies the expansion of his power and the infallibility and effectiveness
of his commands. One’s tongue in a dream also symbolizes a milk sucklingbaby,
a lion in his den, or an intelligent warrior. Thus, if one lets a lion out of a lair
in a dream, it denotes his tongue, or hurting people’s feeling or reputation with
one’s tongue. If one sees himself without a tongue in a dream, it may mean the
death of an infant. If one has to appear in court and sees his tongue cut off in
a dream, it means that his proof will be rejected by the judge. If only the side
of one’s tongue is cut off in a dream, it means that he has doubts about the
testimony of his witness. If he is a merchant, it means that he will lose an
important business deal. If he is a student, it means that he will not complete
his schooling. It is also said that when one’s tongue is cut off in a dream, it means
that he is a forbearing person. If the wife’s tongue is cut off in a dream it means
that she is a chaste and a pious woman. If a wife cuts off the tongue of her
husband in a dream, it means that she will flirt with him and show him
tenderness and love. Cutting off the tongue of a poor person in a dream means
giving something to an impudent person to shun off his evil. If a poor person cuts
off the tongue of another poor person in a dream, it means a fight between them.
If one’s tongue sticks to his palate in a dream, it means that he will deny or reject
someone’s right, refute the truth, or lie about a trust he received to keep for a
time. Eating one’s tongue or biting on it in a dream represents an act one will
regret. If a governor sees that in a dream, it means that he swindles people’s
money and receives bribes. Biting on one’s tongue in a dream also means
remaining mostly silent, withholding one’s advice, or controlling one’s fury and
anger. Biting one’s tongue in a dream also could denote gluttony. Cutting off
one’s tongue in a dream means invalidating one’s argument or proof, or
preventing him from asking for anything. The cutting off of a poet’s tongue in
a dream means giving him money for his recitation. Seeing one’s tongue black
in a dream means that one may preside over his own people. If he is a wretched
person, it means that he is a liar. If someone who is scared of something sees
his tongue in a dream, it means that he will lose his battle and become subject
to defamation and humiliation. If a wretched person sees himself having many
tongues in a dream, it means that he will have a large family. Having many
tongues in a dream also means speaking many foreign languages. If one’s tongue
is split in half in a dream, it means that he is a liar. Having many tongues and
of many colors in a dream means telling different and contradictory stories, or
it could represent a music writer. If people touch one’s tongue or suck it in a
dream, it means that they are acquiring his knowledge. It also represents people
toadying or lobbying in official business. One's tongue in a dream also repre¬
sents a hidden treasure, a hidden knowledge, a toadying servant, an employee,
one’s house, a vehicle, a skilled enemy, a seedling of a fruit bearing tree, a bad
wife, a barren woman, one’s spoken and irretrievable words, earnings, collecting
garbage, following someone’s traces, a policeman, or a prisoner. An animal’s
tongue in a dream represents one’s life or death, because for an animal, his
tongue is like a hand through which he takes things. If a scholar’s tongue is cut
off in a dream, it means that he will lose his argument, or it could mean the death
of his assistant, student or son. Losing one’s tongue in a dream represents the
malicious joy of one’s enemy, family, or neighbors for one’s losses, or it could
mean the death of a beloved, severing a relationship, or a plant disease that will
affect one’s fruit bearing trees. Perhaps losing one’s tongue in a dream could
mean separation between husband and wife, divorce, losing one’s job, or moving
to a new town. Having two tongues in a dream also means backbiting others,
or having two faces with people, for people say that so-and so has two tongues
or two faces. If the second tongue does not impede the person from speaking in
the dream, then it denotes his truthfulness, love and affection toward others.
One’s tongue in a dream also may represent something one fears, such as the
collapsing of a roof over his head, or it could represent an enemy. It also means
isolating oneself from people of knowledge and wisdom, or it could mean
remaining mostly silent, minding one’s own business, or offering devotion and
being grateful to God Almighty for His gifts and blessings. One’s tongue in a
dream also represents a captured prisoner of war, or a snake hiding in its pit.
Looking at one’s tongue in a dream means controlling what comes out of it. (Also

Preacher
(Khatib; Sermon) A preacher delivering his sermon in a dream represents
purity, submission, repentance, crying, rising in station, longevity, mixing with
a fellowship of believers, commanding what is good and forbidding what is evil,
celebrations, weddings, or anniversary meetings. If an unwed woman sees him
in her dream, it means that she will get married through a third party
involvement. The same goes for an unwed man, or it could indicate his search
for a wife. If a suitable person sees himself being a preacher in a dream, it means
that he will be appointed to manage a sensitive position of authority. If one sees
himself delivering a sermon (Kh utha) in accordance with the prescribed method
and prophetic traditions in a dream, it means that he will be helped at doing his
work. If he wears a white garment instead of a black one when delivering his
sermon in the dream, it means that he will rise in station and that his earnings
will increase. If one sees himself sitting down rather than standing up when
delivering his sermon in a dream, it means that he will preside over his
companions. If one sees himself sitting on the pulpit rather than standing up
and delivering his sermon in a dream, this maybe interpreted as afflictions and
disgrace. If an unqualified person sees himself delivering a sermon during the
pilgrimage season in a dream, in this case his dream may refer to someone in
his company who will do so, or it may mean that he will suffer from an illness
or a mishap. If he delivers a sermon and people hearken to his words in the
dream, it means that he will become a respected and obeyed guardian or leader.
If he does not finish his sermon in the dream, it means that his guardianship
will not last, or that he will resign or be fired from his job. If a woman sees herself
delivering a sermon and admonishing people in a dream, it means that she will
gain power, or marry a strong and a righteous man. If she sees herself giving
a sermon on Friday’s congregational prayers in a dream, it means that she will
be divorced, or conceive a child from adultery. (Also see Friday; Setting out)

If one sees himself holding the sun in a dream, it means that he will gain
strength and wealth that will come about through someone in the government.
If one receives the sun hanging as a necklace in a dream, it means that he will
win a seat in the senate. If he goes near the sun or sits inside it in a dream, it
means that he will acquire power, wealth and support. Should he qualify, the
stretch of his power will extend between the two horizons he sees in his dream,
or it may mean that he will acquire a knowledge coupled with fame. If one sees
that he owns the sun in a dream, it means that his words will be respected and
listened to by someone in authority. If someone in authority sees the sun looking
clear and brilliant in the dream, it means that his authority will grow, or that
he will assist someone in leadership. Otherwise, it means that he will live
happily and acquire lawful wealth. If a woman sees such a dream, it means that
she will enjoy her marriage and receive what pleases her from her husband. If
the sun rises inside one’s house in a dream, it means that he will receive an
important political appointment, or that he should be careful about his asso¬
ciation with someone in authority, or it may mean marriage. If the sun rises
inside one’s house and lights the entire house in the dream, it means that he will
receive honor, dignity, rank and fame. If a woman sees the sun rising inside her
house in a dream, it means that she will marry a wealthy person, and that her
horizon will expand. The radiance of the sun in a dream means reverence, might
and justice of the ruler of that land. If one sees the sun talking to him in a dream,
it means that he will be honored and commended by the governor. If one sees
the sun or the moon talking to him, and if he then strolls away with them in the
dream, it represents his death. If one sees the sun rising from an unusual
direction in a dream, it represents a beneficial knowledge he will acquire. If the
sun shines over one’s head and not the rest of his body in a dream, it means that
he will receive a prominent responsibility. If its rays rise to shine over his feet
and not the rest of his body in the dream, it means a farming project that brings
him prosperity and lawful earnings. If the sun discretely shines over one’s belly
and without people’s noticing it in the dream, it means that he will be struck
with leprosy. If it shines over his chest and not the balance of his body in the
dream, it means a sickness. If a woman sees that the sun has embraced her from
her neck down in a dream, it means that she will marry a person in authority
and for one night only. Should such a person divorce her the next morning, it
means that she may become a prostitute. If the sun rises from one’s open belly
in a dream, it means his death. If one sees the sun setting and himself walking
behind it, it also means death. If one sees himself walking behind the sun in a
dream, it means that he will be captured and imprisoned. If one sees the sun
turned into an old man in a dream, it means that the governor will become a
pious and God-fearing person. Otherwise, if the sun turns into a young man in
the dream, it represents his weakness. If one sees blazes of fire straying away
from the sun in a dream, it means the impeachment of some members of the
governor’s cabinet or someone from his counsel. If one sees the sun turned red
in a dream, it means corruption. If it turns yellow in the dream, it means an
illness. If it turns black in the dream, it means losses. If one seeks the sun after
it sets in a dream, it means that whatever is destined for him whether it be good
or bad has passed. If one sees the sun rising at times different than its usual
sun rising time in a dream, it means that an uprising against the government
will take place in different parts of the country. If one sees himself with the sun
in a dream and should he be working in the government, or the army, it means
that he will betray his superior, or the ruler of that land. Otherwise, it means
that his condition will deteriorate and life will turn against him. If the sun has
no rays in the dream, it means that the governor or the general of the army will lose respect.
If he is an administrator, it means that he will be dismissed from his function.
If he is a subject or an employee it means that he will lose his source
of income. If a woman sees a sun that has no rays in a dream, it means that her
husband will deprive her of her needs. If one sees the sun split in two in a dream,
it means losing one’s dominion. If one sees the sun falling down in a dream, it
means that a major calamity will befall the inhabitants of the earth. If it falls

setting in the West with a clear brightness in a dream, it means blessings for
that land. If one swallows the sun in a dream, it means distress, sorrow or death.
If the sun rises from the West, then it means defamation, exposing the ills of the
person seeing it, or divulging a secret. The rising of the sun from the West also
means recovering from an illness, and for a businessman, it means profits from
that direction, but in general, it may mean revealing a secret, or it could mean
a scandal or death. The same interpretation is given if one sees the sun rising
from the South to set in the North. If the sun changes its nature in a dream, it
means trouble in that land. If one sits under the sun in a dream, it means that
he will receive honor and blessed profits. Grabbing some rays of the sun in a
dream means receiving undiminishing wealth. The sunrise in a dream also
means waking people up to go to work, seeking one’s livelihood, begetting a son,
or releasing a prisoner. If one is hiding something, then seeing the sun in his
dream means that his secret will be exposed. If one sees the rays of the sun
falling over his bed or threatening him in a dream, it means a painful sickness,
or inflammation of the skin. If the sun rays which are falling over his bed provide
him with good energy in the dream, it means a good harvest, or good health. If
travellers see many suns in the sky in a dream, it means profits and prosperity.
Running away from the sun in a dream means that one may leave his wife, or
he may run away from the governor of that land, or escape from an evil. If the
sun and the moon meet in one’s dream, it means a royal marriage, or a marriage
between a beautiful woman and a wealthy man. Clouds covering the rays of the
sun in a dream means an illness. If one carries the sun in a bag in a dream, it
means money. The sun in a dream also could represent a wise man, or a teacher
one whose company is sought. Otherwise, the sun in a dream could represent,
the governor, one’s husband, wife, child, mother, daughter, aunt, father, or
grandfather and the above interpretations will relate to such a person. Whatever
happens to the sun in the dream, will then affect such people. If one sees the sun
rising, then immediately setting in the same direction in a dream, it means a
newborn who may die shortly after his birth, returning an ex-prisoner to jail
shortly after his release, earning amazing amounts of money, or repenting from
sin, reverting to wrongdoing, the return of a bride to her parent’s house
immediately after her wedding night, or it could mean reconciliation between
husband and wife. If one sees the sun and the moon shinning on him in a dream,
it means that his parents are pleased with him. If one sees himself prostrating
to the sun or the moon in a dream, it means that he will commit an awful sin,
or a heinous crime. In a dream, the sun also represents one’s livelihood,
