someone in a dream also means to rebuke, revile or insult him, or it could mean

victim in the dream will attain excellence of expression and reach his goals. If
he hits him over the earlobe and if it bleeds in the dream, it means that the

the subject of beating must be associated with the meaning of the limb affected
in the dream. (See Body 1), Beatings in a dream also connotes supplications. If

trip. If one receives one hundred lashes on his back in a dream, it means that
he has committed adultery, or it could mean that he has the intention to do so.
If one receives forty lashes in a dream, it means that he indulges in drinking
alcohol or uses intoxicants. If he is lashed eighty times in a dream, it means that
he slanders married women. If he is whipped by a deceased person in the dream,
it means that he is pursuing wrong ideas and should reverse his course, for a
deceased person dwells in the kingdom of truth and follows only what pleased
God Almighty. However, if one sees himself in a dream beating a deceased
person, this could be interpreted to denote the strength of his faith, certitude,
prayers and charitable nature. It also could mean benefits from a business trip
or pursuing a lost interest. Beating in a dream when it causes no pain, bleeding
or scratches means receiving a new garment, paying debts, or hearing sarcastic

or coarse sound represents sorrow and distress while any pleasant sound in a
dream represents happiness and joy. (Also see Invisible caller)
