Raising one’s voice in a dream means unjustly presiding over a crowd of people.
Hearing a human voice in a dream means chairing an important responsibility.
If the human voice emanates from an animal in the dream, it denotes great

in a dream represents a man. Intentionally lowering one’s voice in a dream

mean separation or announcing someone’s death. However, in dream, any ugly
or coarse sound represents sorrow and distress while any pleasant sound in a
dream represents happiness and joy. (Also see Invisible caller)

Skies
(Castle; Child; Firmament; Heavens; House; Mother; Oath; Ocean; Prison;
Teacher; Town; Wife; Wonders) In a dream, the sky represents itself. Whatever
descends from it or comes from that direction in a dream will materialize. If fire
falls from the sky over people’s homes in a dream, it means plagues, illness,
pleurisy, smallpox, or death and destruction. If fire falls over the marketplace
in the dream, it means higher prices. If it falls over the fields and farmlands in
the dream, it means that the crops could either burn, freeze, or be struck by a
swarm of locusts or by other harmful insects. If what falls from the sky indicates
prosperity, such as honey, oil, figs, barley, or money, etcetera, in the dream, it
means a good rain and a good harvest for that year. Whatever falls from the sky
of good or bad may represent the government and the hardships it inflicts upon
the people, or the benefits it may bring them. Climbing to the sky with a rope,
a ladder, or using a staircase in a dream means exaltation, rising in station, good
luck and support. If one climbs without a common medium in a dream, it means
fear and arrogance. If his intention in climbing is to spy on others in the dream,
it means that he may work as a spy. If one descends safely from the sky in the
dream, it means that he will escape and be spared the consequences of his sin.
If he falls and breaks or fractures a bone or so in the dream, it means that he
may suffer such accident in wakefulness. If a sick person sees himself climbing
to the sky, and if he does not return to earth in the dream, it means that he may
die from his illness. If he comes back in the dream, it means that his illness will
increase and his difficulties will reach their peak, though God willing, he will
recover from his illness, unless he falls into a hole in a dream. In that case the
hole represents his grave. If one sees the sky shooting arrows causing people
wounds, injuries and bleeding in a dream, it means taxes and confiscation of
properties by the government. If the arrows hit people’s ears and eyes only in
the dream, it means that major trials and temptations will strike at everyone.
If the arrows fall without causing harm to anyone, and if people rush to collect
them in the dream, they represent a booty that people will come to win, or a
divine gifts people will enjoy. To rise close to the sky in a dream means nearness
to one’s Lord. This is particularly true for pious people and for true believers.
Nearing the sky in a dream also represents a supplication needing an immediate
answer, and God willing such prayers will be answered. Nearing the sky in a
dream also could mean going before the governor of one’s town, or any person
from whom one may need something, i.e., a teacher, a man of knowledge, a
father, or a wife. If one sees the sky falling over his head in a dream, it means
that the roof of his house may cave in, or that he will die from an illness he
already suffers. If one sees himself climbing and entering the sky in a dream,
it means that he will die as a martyr. If one sees himself standing in the sky in
a dream, it means that he will command or admonish others. If one sees himself
in the sky looking down at something on earth in a dream, it means that he will
rise in station, then he will regret something he missed. If one sees the sky green
in a dream, it means prosperity and a good harvest. If one sees the sky turned
into iron in a dream, it means drought or scarcity of rain. If one falls from the
sky in a dream, it means that he may abandon his faith, become a reprobate,
or that he may be struck with a major calamity that will be driven by an unjust
person. If the iron sky splits open, and if an old man appears from behind it in
the dream, such an old person represents the grandfather of the people of that
town or tribe. Consequently, people will enjoy a good harvest, prosperity and
happiness. If it is a young man that appears in the dream, then he represents
an enemy and an evil that may befall the people following such dream. If a sheep
appears from the sky in a dream, then it means profits. If camels appear, then
they represent rain. If a lion appears in the dream, it represents an unjust ruler.
If the sky becomes one solid piece in the dream, it means drought. If it rips apart
and its doors become wide open in the dream, then it means rain or an answer
to people’s prayers. If one sees himself reaching out and touching the sky in a
dream, it means that he is seeking an important goal, and that he will fail to
attain it. If one sees himself rising near the lower heavens in a dream, it means
worldly gains, or profits and status in either material or spiritual realms. If one
looks toward the sky, whether to the East or to the West in a dream, it means
travels. If one sees himself stealing the sky and hiding it in ajar in a dream, it
means that he may steal a copy of the holy Quran and hides it with his wife.
If one sees the sky wide open in a dream, it means blessings and benefits. If one
sees himself rising toward the sky in a fiat posture in a dream, it means that
he will become emaciated, or suffer losses in his business. On the other hand,
if one sees himself rising without difficulty and without being laid on his back
in a dream, it means exaltation, success and safety from any harm that could
be driven by one’s enemies. If one bites the sky in a dream, it means that a
calamity will strike at him, or it could mean business losses, failure to attain
one’s goals, or an argument with one’s superior at work. If one sees himself
touring the sky then returning to earth in a dream, it means that he may become
an astronomer, or an astrologer and gain fame in his field. If one sees himself
leaning his back to the sky in a dream, it means that he may win a leadership
position, or win victory over his opponents. If one sees himself in the sky having
a form different than that of human beings in a dream, it means that he may
leave this world unblessed. If one sees himself hanging down with a rope from
the sky in a dream, it means that he will govern after someone else’s, or inherit
his post. However, if the rope breaks in the dream, it means that he may lose
such an opportunity. If one sees a lighted candle in the sky which luster and
brightness dims the light of the sun in a dream, it represents a solar eclipse. If
one sees the sky being build in his presence in a dream, it means that he lies
in his testimonies. Falling from the sky in a dream also could be a warning
against falling into sin. Falling from the sky in a dream with one’s head down
means longevity. If one sees himself in the sky but could not remember when
did he enter it in a dream, it means that God willing he is already in paradise.
If one sees radiance, or scintillating rays of light coming through the sky in a
dream, it means guidance. If he sees dark clouds coming through the sky in a
dream, it means that he could stray from God’s path. If he sees a scourge
descending from the sky in a dream, it means that plagues and adversities will
befall the people as a chastisement for their sins, or for crimes they have
committed. As for gnostics and people of knowledge, seeing the sky in a dream
means clarity, vision, placing one’s interests in heavenly matters, or travelling
to distant lands, or engaging in importing and exporting goods. Climbing into
the sky in a dream also means falsehood, false beliefs, lies, or talking about God
Almighty without the proper knowledge or guidance. Climbing into the sky in
a dream also could mean seeking one’s livelihood, satisfying one’s needs, or
fulfilling a promise. Skies in a dream also represent the ocean because of their
vastness and the countless number of creation living therein, or they could
represent the ripening of fruits, or the conclusion of one’s work, or they could
represent one’s helmet, armor, wife, money, religion, death, or they could
indicate slander and falsehood against someone who descends from them after
being raised, and they could mean making peace with one’s enemies, or they
could represent the shares allotted for each one of God’s creation, the good and
the bad, people’s sustenance and that of beasts, gains, losses, blessings or
afflictions. (Also see Ascending in the skies; Celestial spheres; Heavens; Star)
Skin inflammation: (Thinning; Shedding one’s skin) If one sees his skin thinned
or inflamed between his legs in a dream, it means that he will marry a rich
woman who will give him her wealth. If one sees himself shedding his skin or

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
means that his insight will grow, or that he maybe martyrized. If one sees angels
descending upon a locality that is raging with a war in a dream, it means that
the dwellers of that place will win victory. If the people are suffering from
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
sees them looking like women in the dream, it means that he lies before God
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

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

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

(Collar; Necklace) In a dream, a neckband represents stinginess. A
neckband in a dream also could represent woman’s kindness, gentleness,
softness, protection and respect for her husband. Thus, for a woman, a neckband
in her dream represents her husband. If her neckband is made of silver, and if

husband’s generosity, richness and forbearance. If the neckband is thin, then
it implies difficulties. If it is made of iron in the dream, it represents a strong

in his life and comfort he will receive from an unexpected source. If he is a
merchant, it means profits, fame, honor and dignity. If he is a common person,

knowledge. If he commands authority, it means that he disdains from giving
true judgment. To hire a servant who wears a silver neckband in a dream means
establishing a profitable business. A neckband in a dream also means impiety,
or it could be a sign of trustworthiness. If a man sees himself wearing a neckband

authority should he qualify for it. His employees’ support depends on how
manageable is his herd. If a man sees himself riding a steer in a dream, it means
dealing with a government employee. It also means that he will acquire what
he intends. Seeing a bull in a dream also means fame. If one sees himself eating
the head of a steer or a bull in a dream, it also means winning a leadership seat
in the government, except if the bull is red. If one is a merchant, then it means
profit and prosperity for that year. If a steer is transformed into a wolf in a
dream, it means that a government’s employee will turn corrupt. A white bull
in a dream means glad tidings and profits. If a steer or a cow butts against
someone in the dream, it means that God is displeased with him. Eating bull’s
meat in a dream means financial comfort. If a bull bites someone in a dream,
it means suffering from an illness or begetting children who will grow to be
honorable and righteous people. If one sees an ox mooing at him in the dream,
it means undertaking a distant or a long journey. If a farmer sees an ox plowing
his fields in a dream, it means a good harvest for that year.

Book
(Decree; Flyer; Letter; Publication; Public announcement; Record; Scroll;
Write; Writing) Holding a book or a letter in one’s hand in a dream signifies
power. A book or a letter in a dream also signifies fame or public knowledge. If
one sees himself carrying a sealed letter in a dream, then it means that he will
receive confidential news or a report. If a book or a letter is carried by a child
in a dream, it means glad tidings. If it is carried by a servant or a housekeeper,
then it means glad tidings and good news. If a letter is carried by a woman, then
one could expect a quick relief from his trouble. If the letter which the woman
is carrying in the dream is an open letter, and if the woman is wearing a veil,
it means that the news she is bringing must be treated carefully. If the woman
is wearing perfume, then one could expect good news and a commendation for
his work. If one sees himself holding a closed book in a dream, it means the end
of his life in this world. If one sees a flyer or a public announcement in display
by the authorities in a dream, it means that he will gain leadership, happiness
and income. If one sends a sealed letter to someone, which is returned to him
unopened in the dream, it means losing a war to one’s enemy. If he is a merchant,
it means that he will suffer losses in his business. If he is seeking marriage, it
means the denial of his request. If one sees himself carrying a book, a record,
or a letter in his right hand in a dream, and if he had an argument, or a confusing
deal, or doubt about something, it means that he will bring clarity to that
problem. If he is incarcerated or if he is suffering from persecution, it means that
he will bring proof of his innocence and escape from his difficulties. If he is
depressed, it means that he will be able to dispel his worries. If he is travelling
in a foreign country, it means that he will find a way back to his mother land,
where he will find happiness again. Carrying a book ora letter in one’s left hand
in a dream means that he has done something bad, or something which he will
regret. Carrying a book in the right hand denotes a prosperous year. If a
stranger takes one’s book away from him in the dream, it means that someone
will take away from him his most precious and endeared thing. Tearing a book
into pieces in a dream means getting rid of one’s trouble or becoming free from
trials or evil encounters and receiving benefits. Holding to a sealed book, decree,
or a letter in a dream also signifies abidingby the rules of one’s superior. Holding
a sealed book in one’s dream also signifies success, leadership and honor. If one
is seeking marriage and sees a sealed book in his hand in a dream, it means that
his betrothal to someone will end in marriage. Seeing or receiving a blank letter
or a book from someone in a dream means absence of his news, or not knowing
where he lives. If one sees a book descending to him from the heavens and if he
thinks in the dream that he understood the contents, then whatever good or bad
news it brings, it will be the same in wakefulness. A book in a dream also
represents one’s companion, or an intimate friend. Seeing a book in a dream also
could signify recovering from an illness. A hardcover book if the content is
unknown represents dishonesty, deceit, a cheap product or selling a sealed
package with undisclosed contents, or it could represent an old woman. Bringing
books into one’s home in a dream signify hearing news about an honest and a
pious person, learning happy stories from a reporter or becoming acquainted
with religious thoughts. (Also see Encyclopedia; Letter; Write; Writer)

Feces
(Defecate; Excrete; Human excrements) Feces in a dream represent
money. Excreting solid intestinal waste in a dream means that one will spend
large amounts of money in caring for his health. Having diarrhea and defecating
in public in a dream means that one should be careful about exposing himself
or becoming subject to a scandal or saying dirty words. Excreting involuntarily,
then cleaning after oneself and carrying one’s pickings in a dream means
earnings and money. Feces in a dream also mean honey. Defecating in one’s bed
in a dream means divorcing one’s wife. Walking on feces in a dream means
distress or depression. Walking away from the bathroom after cleansing one’s
bowels in a dream means walking away from adversities. Failing into the sewers
or a toilet bowl in a dream means entering a prison. Defecating in one’s pants
in a dream means falling into sin, humiliation, speaking bad words or using
despicable expressions. Feces in a dream also represent money, hidden secrets,
travels, a fight, recovering from an illness, bad thoughts, whispering of the
mind, temptation or trusts. The smell of feces in a dream represents a fine, or
overdoing one’s duty, or a miscarriage for a pregnant woman. To sally one’s
clothing with someone’s feces in a dream means borrowing money from him or
carrying his favor for a longtime to come. Feces in a dream also denote earnings
from an unjust and a loathsome person. Excreting in a dream also means
dispelling one’s worries or getting rid of one’s burdens. If one excretes in the
ablution room in his dream, it means that his spendings or deeds are recognized
to be a fulfillment of his desires, ostentatiousness and love for fame. If one
excretes in an unknown place in a dream, it means that his deeds will not be
acknowledged, nor will he receive any reward for them. Going to the bathroom
in a dream means dispelling one’s worries, paying one’s debts or paying an
unavoidable alimony for his children. Putting a shirt in the wilderness and
defecating inside it rather than in the field in a dream means committing a sin
and carrying its consequences for sometime to come. Excreting in the wilder¬
ness, then covering one’s feces with dirt in a dream means hiding money. To
defecate in a marketplace in public in a dream means incurring God’s displeasure
and the curse of His angels. Throwing feces at someone in a dream means
starting a fight or opposing him in opinion, being unjust to him, or causing him
great losses. The consequences also may backfire at the assailant. If one sees
himself standing inside the sewers and searching through the filth with a stick
in his dream, it means that he might become a judge and be accused of bribery
or misuse of people’s money. Seeing human excrements in a dream means

Tambourine
(Drum; Musical instruments) In a dream, a tambourine means
adversities, pain and sufferings. It also means fame for the one carrying it. If
a girl dancer carries it in the dream, it means that she may win a lottery, or
acquire a publicly known fortune. The sound of a tambourine in a dream
represents a recognized and a baseless fallacy. Seeing a man carrying a
tambourine means fame for him and for whoever accompanies him in the dream.
A woman carrying the tambourine in a dream also means that she will become
famous, or it could indicates a new social trend. In general, when musical
instruments are used in one’s dream, playing them in a festival, a wedding, or
in any type of celebration means trials. (Also see Musical instruments)

Pharaoh
(Enemy) Pharaoh is the enemy of God Almighty. If one sees pharaoh
looking good in a dream, it means that the Imam, the leader, or the person who
leads the congregational prayers in his community is a goofy person, or that the
congregation itself does not follow the proper religious rules. However, if
pharaoh looks ugly in the dream, it means that both the Imam and his
congregation are good people. The same interpretation applies for any common
enemy one may have. If one sees himself becoming a pharaoh in a dream, it
means that he may become a leader, though it will be at the expense of his
religious covenant. If people are talking about a specific pharaoh in a dream, it
means that one will earn fame in that locality. (Also see Orphan)

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.

(Heavy weight) If one sees himself unusually fat in a dream, it means
increase in his wealth and richness. If he is wearing a yellow gown in the dream,

Laurel
(Honor) If one who qualifies to be honored for his achievements is crowned

passion, want, or desire. (Also see Flag; Honor)
Interpreted by Ibn Sirin
Statue
(Idol) A statue in a dream represents falsehood, inventions, make-shift,
fiction, illusion, heedlessness, or a nice looking person who is full of deception.
Worshipping a statue in a dream means lying to God Almighty, or that one
worships what his mind tells him to worship, whether it is a physical object or
a child of one’s imagination. If it is acarved wooden statue in the dream, it means
that he ingratiates himself to rich people, or to an unjust person in authority
through his religion. If the statue is built from wood in the dream, it means that
one seeks religious arguments or disputes. If the statue is made of silver in the
dream, it means that one elicits sexual relationship with his servant, or with
a foreign woman, or perhaps just a friendship. If the statue is made of gold in
the dream, it means that one may commit an abominable action, or a religious
inequity, or seeks profits from someone at the expense of displeasing God
Almighty and consequently, one will suffer financial losses or health problems.
If the statue combines mixed material of bronze, copper, steel, iron, or lead in
the dream, it means that such a person uses his religious garb to make profits,
and that he often forgets about his Lord. A statue in a dream also means travels.
Seeing a golden or a silver statue in a dream also could mean prosperity. Seeing
a bronze statue of a young woman moving around in a dream means a good
harvest, prosperity, or travels. If the statue is bigger than life-size, then it
means a fright. Statues in a dream also represent one’s children, his sexual
drive, or his determination. If one sees himself worshiping a statue in a dream,
it means that he is engaged in falsehood, giving preference to his personal
desires and passions over obeying his Lord’s commands. If one sees himself
worshiping a golden statue in a dream, it means that he will solicit business
from someone who worships God Almighty, though he will also suffer losses
from such an association. It also means that he will lose his investment and it
will show the weakness of his faith. If one sees himself worshiping a statue made
of silver in the dream, it means that he uses his religion to make business out
of it, or to betray others through it, or that he will solicit the help of someone
to do evil, or that he may sexually abuse a young girl who trusts his religious
appearance. If one sees a statue and does not associate it with worship, or if
he does not see anyone worshiping it in his dream, his dream then represents
financial gains. A statue in a dream also means to be enamored with a woman
or a boy. Statues in a dream also could mean deafness, idiotic behavior,
dumbness, attachment to anything in this world, making an idol out of it, such
as one’s love and attachment to his position, status, business, wife, beloved,
house, or child, etcetera. If one owns a statue in a dream, it means that he may
marry a deaf, or a dumb, or a non-intelligent woman, or that he may beget a child
who will grow up having one or more of these defects. In whatever condition one
sees the statue in his dream, it will reflect on any of the above. A statue in a
dream also represents a generation. If the statue is missing something in the
dream, such defect will definitely manifest in one’s society. Seeing a statue in
a dream also could reflect one’s strength and determination. If one breaks a
statue, or lames it, or damages it in a dream, it means that he will vanquish his
enemy and earn rank and fame. If the statue in the dream portrays a particular
woman, or if it is interpreted to represent a specific woman, then she will be
quiet, intelligent and serene, or it could mean that she is stupid and has pride.

asceticism, abstinence and renouncing the pleasures of this world. If one sees
himself castrated in a dream, it means that he will gain power and fame. If one
marries a woman and finds himself incapable of performing sexual intercourse
with her in a dream, it means that he will engage in a commerce without a
capital.

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

Sun
(King; The Fourth heaven; Planet) In a dream, the sun represents a great
king, the vice-regent, a father, a prince, a commander, gold, or a beautiful
woman. If one sees himself turned into a sun in a dream, it means that he may
receive a dominion that will stretch as far as the radiance one sees in his dream.
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

libelous statements about someone, and in that case, he is the assailant and he
is liable for his actions, also he will be subjected to the same destiny. If one stabs,
wounds, or threatens someone with any of the above weapons, or if he points
them toward the other person but does not attack him in the dream, it means
that he will be tempted to slander or defame him, then he will withhold himself
from doing so. If one sees people fighting with spears in a dream, it means that
a plague will strike that place, or it could mean rising prices. If one sees them
rebelling against the government in the dream, it means that prices will fall.

Prophet
In a dream, each one of God’s prophets, upon all of them be peace and
blessings, is like a compassionate father toward his son, who is trying to save
his child from the hell of this world and the hell-fire in the hereafter. In a dream,
a prophet also represents a teacher, a tutor, a shaikh, a warning, or glad tidings.
If one sees them standing in a stately form, or if one prays behind them, or
follows them on the road, or eats something from their delicious food, or drinks
from their drink, or if one is anointed with their perfume, or learns something
from them, or acquires a particular knowledge from them in a dream, it
demonstrates his trueness, faith in God’s oneness, following His Messenger and
being faithful to his traditions. Otherwise, if one walks before them, or leads
them into a narrow lane, or stones them, or mocks them, or argues with them
in a dream, it means that he is an innovator and a heedless person. This could
also mean that he will be persecuted by his superiors, for a prophet in a dream
also represents a ruler or a king, and God’s prophets are in truth the guardians
of the souls, and they are kings in this world and in the hereafter. A prophet in
a dream also represents a religious scholar, because religious scholars are the
heirs of the prophets, upon all of them be peace. Religious scholars also know
God’s prophets better than the common people. They understand their message
and follow their traditions of glorifying God’s Oneness, devotion, piety, prayers,
charity, acting upon what they know and admonishing others to follow the path
of truth and righteousness. A prophet in a dream also represents one’s superior,
a preacher, a righteous Imam, a conscientious teacher and a caller to God
Almighty. Seeing any of God’s prophets looking gracious, stately and courtly in
a dream also represents his people’s devotion, or that a major and a positive
change will take place among his followers. If such a prophet looks spurious,
unhappy in a dream, or if he appears in a state that does not befit God’s prophets,
it means that his followers in the world have deviated from his path and created
their own religion, opposing his commands, falsifying and interpreting his
message to their own liking and abusing his admonition. If one claims to be a
prophet in a dream, it means that he will become known in his field, or if he
qualifies, he may become a ruler, a judge, a teacher or a caller to God Almighty,
commanding what is good and forbidding what is evil. Otherwise, it means that
he will be inflicted with a great calamity because of a falsehood he fosters, or
innovations he practices. If one becomes a messenger in a dream or a caller to
God Almighty, and if someone hearkens to him and accepts his message in the
dream, it means that he will rise in rank. Otherwise, it means that he will
become a broker, a liar, a defrauder, a swagger, depending on his level of
knowledge, or it could mean that he will be struck with a major calamity in his
life. Such a calamity will be of the same caliber, degree and nature that a
messenger of God Almighty may have suffered from his own people. Seeing one
of God’s prophets in a dream also means living the experience of time, space and
condition in which he saw him in the dream. Wearing the cloak of one of God’s
prophets in a dream means attaining one’s goals, or presiding over people, or
acquiring true knowledge. Consequently, one will become renowned, revered
and his opinions will be respected by most people. If one becomes a prophet in
a dream, it means that he will die as a martyr, or become poor and be gifted with
patience and endurance. He will then be granted victory, and God willing, all
his needs will be satisfied. Emulating the devotion of a prophet in a dream
means trueness in one’s faith, compliance with God’s religion, certitude and
determination. Becoming one of God’s prophets, upon all of them be peace and
blessings, in a dream means commanding good and forbidding evil, suffering
from adversities and distress equal to those endured by such a prophet, then one
will escape from destruction or humiliation by God’s leave and through His
subtle kindness. If one sees a prophet suffering from poverty and asking for help
in a dream, it means that God Almighty will satisfy all the needs of the person
seeing such a dream for the sake of the blessings reserved for that prophet. If
one kills a prophet in a dream, it means that he will betray a trust, negate a
promise, or deny a covenant. Living in the time of one of God’s prophets on earth
in a dream means honor, dignity, success, piety and wealth if one is suited for
such gifts. Otherwise, it means that Satan is deceiving him. If a prophet of God
Almighty beats a righteous and a sincere believer in a dream, it means that he
will attain peace and salvation in his life in the hereafter. If a prophet talks to
someone in a dream, it means that he will receive blessings, honor, status,
knowledge, wisdom and fame in his life. (Also see Muhammad, upon whom be
peace.)

Eavesdropping
In a dream, eavesdropping means backbiting and lies. Perhaps
the one who is eavesdropping on others may become despised by the ruler or his
superior. On the other hand, if one sees himself in a dream inadvertently
listening to a conversation, and if the one seeing the dream is a merchant, it
means that he will resign from the leadership of his business, and if he is a ruler,
it means that he will be removed from his post. If one sees himself harkening
to another person in a dream, it means that he desires to defame him or expose
his pitfalls. If one sees himself listening to some talks of which he follows the
better avenues in the dream, it means that he will receive glad tidings. If one
sees himself listening to admonition but ignoring it in a dream, it means that
he lies as a habit.

In a dream, listening to the Quran, or to the teachings of God’s Prophet,

backbiting, slandering, defamation, or eavesdropping in a dream, then it means
that some harm will befall him. Listening to good advice and following its best
guidance in a dream means receiving good news. Eavesdropping in a dream
means that one intends to defame the other person. Listening, though pretending

threats. The yowling of a tomcat in a dream means uproar, backbiting, defamation
and insinuation. The yapping of foxes in a dream means a warning to escape,

Death by hanging
In a dream, to see someone or oneself being brought to the
gallows to be hung means malice, rejoicing at the misfortune of others, fame or
perhaps it could mean rising in station. Consequently, if one’s condition in the
dream does not change to worst, then his dream could mean slander or
backbiting, unless his retribution is held for a crime he committed in the dream,
then the dream means satisfying one’s debts.

Reading
Reading the front page of a letter, a paper, or a book in a dream means
receiving an inheritance. Reading the last page, or the back cover of a book in
a dream means indebtedness. Reading a book in a dream also means receiving
an inheritance. If one finds himself as a lettered person and if he reads well in
his dream, it means that he will attain a high ranking job. If one sees himself
reading his book of records in a dream, it means that he will repent for his sins.
Reading a book in another language in a dream means travelling to such a
country, or going to places one is not familiar with and performing a job that will
earn him fame. If one sees himself reading a book in a foreign language and is
unable to properly decipher its words in a dream, it means that he will escape
from a potential danger he could face in such a land, or it could mean falling sick
in a foreign country, then recovering from one’s illness before returning to one’s
homeland. (Also see Language; Quranic recital; Reckoning)

Quranic recital
Reading the holy Quran or part of it in a dream means rising in
station, gaining power, repenting from sins, prosperity, paying one’s debts,
witnessing the truth, or delivering a trust to its rightful owner. Recitingthe holy
Quran with a beautiful voice in a dream means honor, dignity and good fame.
Reading the holy Quran and adding one’s own words to it in a dream means
wavering from the truth, or betraying one’s promise or covenant. If in the latter
case one does not understand the meaning of what he is saying in the dream,
it means that he will give a false testimony in a court of justice, or that he will
be involved in something evil the consequences of which cannot be foreseen. If
one sees people listening to his recital of the Quran in a dream, it means that
he will command a job, and that people will follow his instructions. Hearing, or
reading any Quranic chapter which is customarily read for a deceased person
in a dream, signifies the death of a sick person in that family. Professional
Quran readers in a dream represent the leading people of the society. To hear
a professional Quranic recital in a dream means that people in authority will
soon gather in the place where the recital is seen in one’s dream. If one sees
himself reading his book of records on the Day of Judgment in a dream, and if
he is an unlettered person in wakefulness, it means that he will become rich
after having suffered from poverty, and that he will answer all the questions
he will be asked on the Day of Reckoning, or that he will be protected by God
Almighty from what he fears most. This happens if one’s reading of his own
records is positive, but if it reads his sins and pitfalls in the dream, then it
denotes distress, trouble, or sufferings. (Also see Holy Book; Reading)

String instruments
Seeing string instruments in a dream means recovering from

human nature, or the physiology of the human being, or they could represent
medicine or astronomy. If a bachelor sees string instruments in his dream, it
may mean that he will get married. If a wife sees herself playing a string
instrument in her dream, it means that she will put a child in her lap. If one sees

Satan
Seeing the accursed one in a dream means evil, sin, lying, stealing,
jealousy, sorcery, separation between husband and wife, disdain from performing
one’s prayers, or it could mean preaching falsehood. Seeing the accursed one in
a dream also means propagation of an invented world or ideas. If in a dream one
becomes Satan, it is interpreted as loosing one’s sight. If one kills Satan in a
dream, it means that he will deceive and conquer a deceiver and an evil person.
In a dream, the accursed Satan also represents an enemy of the body and the
soul. He deceives, cheats, disbelieves, as well as he is ungrateful, jealous,
capricious, arrogant, heedless, impetuous, or he could represent a leader, a
minister, a judge, a policeman, a man of knowledge, a preacher, a hypocrite, or

enemies tryingto deceive him or to destroy him, though they will eventually fail,
and in turn, they will be defeated by God’s leave. If one sees Satan following him
in a dream, it means that an enemy is pursuing him to deceive him, and
consequently one will lose his status, rank and the benefits of his knowledge.
If one sees himself inwardly talking with Satan in a dream, it means that he will
join hands with his own enemy, and his strike will be against the righteous
people, though he will ultimately fail. If one sees Satan teaching him something
in a dream, it means that he will fabricate a story, speak falsehood, or recite
poems filled with lies. If one sees that Satan has descended upon him in a dream,
it means that he engages in falsehood and sin. If one sees himself presiding over
a band of satans, controlling them, commanding them, and if they obey him in
the dream, it means that he will receive a seat of honor and he will be feared
by his friend and foes. If one ties Satan with chains in a dream, it means that
he will win victory in his life together with might and fame. If one sees himself
deceived by a group of satans in a dream, it means that he will suffer financial
losses or lose his job. If Satan strips someone from his clothing in a dream, it
means that the latter will lose a battle to an enemy. If one sees Satan whispering
something in his ear in dream, it means that he will be dismissed from his job.
If one sees himself defying and fighting Satan in a dream, it means that he is
a true and a strong believer who obeys his Lord and who holds fast to his
religious obligations. If Satan frightens him in a dream, it means that the latter
is a sincere deputy and a protege of God Almighty, and that God will safeguard
him from any fear of the accursed Satan or his army. If one sees a meteor or a
flame shooting at Satan in the skies in a dream, it means that there is an enemy
of God Almighty in that locality. If that person is a ruler, then his secrets will
be exposed, and if he is ajudge, it means that a just punishment will befall him
for his injustice. If one sees Satan happy in a dream, it means that he engages
in sensuality, passion and loathsome actions. In general, Satan is a weak enemy,
if one sees himself fighting him with resoluteness in a dream, it shows that he
is a religious and a pious person. If Satan swallows someone or penetrates inside
his body in dream, it means a fright, losses and sufferings. Satan in a dream also
represents builders or ocean divers who work as spies. Seeing them in a dream
also could mean backbiting or slandering. If one sees himself as a Satan in a
dream, it means that he constantly frowns with people and that he is quick to
harm them, or that he may work at cleaning sewers, or perhaps he may perish
in a fire, or die as a heedless person.

from distress, wantonness, or satisfying one’s needs. Clear, fresh and pure air

in a dream also represents one’s desire and passion. Thus, disobeying one’s
mind, desire and passion in a dream means entering the heavenly paradise.
Following one’s desires in a dream means negligence of once religious duties.
Standing up in the air and speaking loud in a dream means blessings, favors,
money, honor and fame. Sitting in the air in a dream means arrogance and self-
deception regarding religious opinions. Building a house up in the air or placing
a mat in the air or raising a tent in the air means death of a sick person, and
what is built in this case is one’s own coffin. If a governor sees that dream, it
means his dismissal from his office or his death. Seeing that dream after a
wedding or after having marital relations with one’s wife means mistrust and
loss. It also means involvement in an uncouth action, lacking knowledge of the
Holy Book and prophetic traditions, because what one has built lacks a foun- dation. Flying in the air in a dream may mean travels. Flying with wings in a
dream has stronger connotations and is safer. The wings here will represent
money or power. Swimming in the air means benefits or business travels. If the
air looks opaque in one’s eyes, so he cannot see the skies in his dream, it means
problems with one’s superior. If one does not have a boss, then it means that he
may lose his sight. If all the people witnessed the air opaque or red in the dr earn,
then it means a major calamity and a trying adversity. (Also see Ascending in
the Skies; Flying)
