Marble
(Beauty; Eulogy; Hardness; Wealth) In a dream, marble represents
prosperity, a beautiful wife, respectable people, class, servants, or properties.
If a poor person sees the floor of his house covered with marble in a dream, it
means prosperity, marriage, purchasing a business, acquiring knowledge,
learning a poem, bearing righteous children, or if he qualifies, it could mean
that he will receive a high ranking appointment, or that he may actually work
with marble, or in sculpturing marble or in manufacturing fountains from
marble, or work in masonry, or as a stone cutter, or he may change his attitude
toward things, signaling the end of depression and the start of a joyful time in
his life, living in high rises, or spending money for leisure and vacations. If one
sees gravestones made of marble, or if one sees marble pillars in a dream, it
means a good reward for one’s deeds, or it could mean eulogy, or lauding. An
architecturally sound edifice made from marble in a dream represents good
writing, skillfulness, dowry or a generous prenuptial agreement. If the marble

Building
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
will benefit or that people will seek his advice in religious matters or inter¬
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

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,

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
