Osprey
(Angel of death; Bone-breaker; Eagle) In a dream, an osprey represents a
powerful and a mighty warrior, and a merciless man whom no one trusts. If one
sees an osprey over his roof, or inside his house, or standing over his head in a
dream, it represents the angel of death. Catching an osprey in a dream means
frequenting a ruler and remaining constantly wary of him whether one obeys him,
or opposes him in opinion. If an osprey scratches someone with his claws in a
dream, it means depression and financial losses. Eating the flesh of an osprey in
a dream represents a demanding person. An osprey in a dream also represents
a ruler about whom people speak very scarcely, but who is the direct cause of the
falling of many neighboring rulers. Seeing an osprey in a tree means profits,
favors and blessings. A flying osprey in a dream means victory in one’s life. An
osprey standing on top of a mountain or a rock, or on a cliff in a dream means
success for the one who is starting a new job or a new business. However, it also
could mean bad news if one is afraid of something, or if he is travelling. As for rich
and noble people, riding an osprey in a dream means death, while for poor people
it means profits and success that will benefit their families and neighbors. An
osprey in a dream also means returning from a journey. It is also glad tidings of
success and profits if an osprey comes near someone in a dream and talks to him.
If a pregnant woman begets an osprey in her dream, it means that she will give
birth to a son who will grow to be a courageous soldier or a leader in his
community. A dead osprey in a dream means death. If thieves or robbers see an
osprey in a dream, it means that they will suffer the consequences of their
evildoing. If an osprey caries someone in the air in a dream, it means rising in
station and honor. Fighting an osprey in a dream means fighting people in
authority. Carrying the emblem of an osprey in a dream means winning victory
over one’s enemy. A female osprey in a dream represents homeless women who

becoming a leader. If a merchant sees himself wearing a coat of mail in a dream,
it means that his business keeps growing, being completely sheltered and
protected from losses. If the coat of mail is understood to mean a friend in the
dream, then it will represent a gracious friend and a good helper when one needs
him. A coat of mail also represents one’s son who is strong and capable, who
suffices himself and helps his father. Wearing a coat of mail in a dream is a
blessing and a favor one receives from a third party who will support him and
defend him under all circumstances. Wearing one in a dream means protection
for one’s wife, properties and interests. If a woman sees herself wearing a coat
of mail in a dream, it means a husband and protection. It also could mean a

money, or beauty. If the bracelets are made from bones, ivory or cast iron, then
they represent the despicable people of that town. Bracelets in a dream also can
be interpreted as sorrows, imitations, the coming events of a town, or events it

(Beggar; Enamored; Emaciated; Hobo; Homeless; Indigence; Love; Men¬
dicant; Poor) Poverty in a dream means richness in wakefulness. Seeing oneself
poor and hungry in a dream means that one will wake up to a great meal, or it
could mean that he has stored sufficient provisions and satisfactory sustenance

blessings. Seeing a group of needy people and beggars in a dream connotes the
death of a rich person in that locality, and it is a sign for poor people to go and
collect the charitable donations his heirs will distribute after his death. If
someone sees himself asking for something, and if he is given what he is asking
for in a dream, it means that he will receive money without trouble, or that he
will earn easy money, for earning one’s livelihood with mere asking in a dream
means a business without capital investment, or receiving without having to
give anything in return. It is also said that if one sees himself as a poor person

water in a dream means guidance, knowledge, having good taste, and the
diligence of the people of the path. Drinking a glass of cold sweet water in the

affair with his wife. If a mother blows her nose in a dream, it means that she
will wean her child. If the wife of such a friend wipes the nasal mucus of her
husband’s guest in a dream, it means that she will betray her husband and carry
the child of his friend. If one blows his nose in a dream, it also means paying a

using someone’s bed sheet in a dream means betraying him with his wife.
Blowing one’s nose in someone’s handkerchief in a dream means betraying him
with his house servant. Clearing one’s nose from a nasal congestion in a dream

sneezes or blows his nose in a dream, it means that he will beget a son from a
secret affair with a servant or an employee. If a sable comes out of one’s nose
in a dream, it means that he will beget a son who will grow to become a thief.
If a pigeon comes out of his nose in the dream, it means that he will beget a girl
that will grow to be insane. Blowing one’s nose and using one’s own shirt in a
dream means committing adultery with a sacrosanct member of his own family
or a blood relation. If one sees his nose gloppy with mucus in a dream, it means
that his fecundity and sexual appetite will bring him many children. Nasal
mucus in a dream also means an illness, a cold, charity or a will. (Also see Phlegm)

Orthopedist
(Bonesetter) An orthopedist who corrects skeletal deformities and sets
broken bones in a dream represents a pious governor who governs with justice,
teaches righteousness, balances substances and conforms to equanimity. Seeing
an orthopedist in a dream also means presumptuousness, might and audacity. He
also represents officiousness, adroitness and resoluteness, for he discards the
deficient and brings together what is broken. Seeing an orthopedist in a dream
also means distress and trouble. He also represents an architect, and an architect
represents an orthopedist in a dream. Thus, seeing him in a dream also means
construction and could represent a generous person who comforts, accommodates
and helps a needy person, or a wise man who comforts the broken hearts, a just
judge, a great scholar, a shoe repairman, or a tailor. If one sees himself standing
before an orthopedist in a dream because of a broken bone or another fracture and
then complains about an abscess in his neck, and if the orthopedist opens that
abscess with pliers to drain the puss in the dream, then it represents a debt one
has to repay, or a votive offering one has to fulfill, or it could mean giving a
testimony in court, or accepting the ruling of a scholar. If an orthopedist sets one’s
broken right arm and ties it to his neck in a dream, it means that someone will
oblige him to do him a personal favor and consequently deprive him from
attending other duties, or restrain him from serving other charities. The same
interpretation is given for a broken leg.

Rain
(Clouds; Drizzling; Life; Vapor; Water) If no harm or destruction is caused
by a rainstorm in a dream, then it means blessings, profits and mercy. Rain in
a dream also represents life, an earthly being, or fulfillment of a promise. If the
rain falls exclusively on a particular location in a dream, it means sorrow and
distress for its dwellers, or it could mean the loss of a beloved. If one sees rain
falling exclusively over his house in a dream, it means personal blessings.
Otherwise, it he sees it falling over the whole town in the dream, it means
blessings for everyone. Rain falling exclusively over one’s house in a dream also
means that someone will fall sick in that house, or suffer from a debilitating and
excruciating pain. If the skies rain stones or blood in a dream, it means
calamities and punishment for people’s sins. If it rains dust or sand in a dream,
it represents an unjust ruler in that locality. If the skies rain dirt without dust,
it also means prosperity and a good harvest. If a traveller sees rain in a dream,
it means hindrances along his journey. A destructive rainstorm in a dream
denotes dishonesty, cheating with measures, or the spread of sodomy in the
community. Seeing a destructive rainstorm tearing down structures, destroying
homes and pulling down tress in a dream represents a punishment for the
corruption and sins of the dwellers of that place. A good rain in a dream could
mean reconciliation with one’s enemy, or it could mean helping a needy person.
Rain in a dream also represents a caravan of camels, and a caravan of camels
in a dream represents rain. A good rain in a dream also means prosperity,
happiness, refilling wells with rainwater, the gushing forth of springs with
sweet, fresh and pure waters. Rain in a dream also means reviving an old and
a stagnant matter, or it could mean benefits, profits, blessings, relief from
distress, payment of debts, or feeling relief. In a dream, a good rain means
blessings, a good harvest and profits for a farmer. If the skies rain honey, butter,
oil, or food people like in the dream, it means blessings for everyone. Rain in a
dream also represent mercy from God Almighty, a helping hand, knowledge,
wisdom, the Quran, rejuvenation, revival, resurrection and life. If one sees
himself standing under a cover, a roof, or behind a wall to take shelter from a
rainfall in a dream, it means that he may suffer because of someone slandering
him. If the rain falls in season in one’s dream, it means roadblock barring
travels, business losses, inability to get medicine for a sick person because of
one’s poverty, or it could mean imprisonment. If one washes himself in the rain,
or takes a ritual ablution to perform his prayers, or washes his face with it, or
washes away filth in a dream, it means repentance from sin, receiving spiritual
guidance, or abolishing religious innovations and polytheism from one’s heart.
If he is poor, it means that God Almighty will enrich him and satisfy his needs,
or if he needed something from a ruler or a governor, it means that his request
will be answered favorably. Drinking from rainwater and if it is clear and pure
in the dream, it means receiving blessings and benefits. If the water is dirty and
polluted in the dream, it means a sickness. (Also see Water)

Dye
(Color; Expose; Hair; Henna; Hide; Gray hair) Applying henna or a dye to
one’s hair or hands in a dream represents a pharmacist, celebrations, glad
tidings, tenderness, or it could mean compassion. Dyeing one’s hair in a dream
also means veiling or protecting one’s personal life and that of others. To dye
the gray hair of one’s beard in a dream means ostentatiousness and adorning
one’s merchandise or deeds to make them look better than reality. Dyeing one’s
hair in a dream also connotes a display of blessings and favors, or it could mean
dictating one’s conditions to his enemy, if the person is in such position.
However, if not, it means difficulties, aggravation, distress, debts or dropping
off one’s ties with those who love him. Interpreting woman’s dyeing of her hair
in a dream is the same as that of a man. To dye one’s gray hair in a dream means
strength, dignity and valor. Applying henna dye to one’s head and not to one’s
beard in a dream means emulating the traditions of God’s Prophet, upon whom
be peace. To dye both the head and the beard in a dream means concealing one’s
poverty, though one will keep asking people to pay him respect or to recognize
him in their circles. If one’s hair accepts the dye in the dream, it means regaining
one’s status, though with less emphasis on his pride, or it could mean that he
will make contentment his new ornament or trim. If one uses a dye other than
what is commonly used, and if it works in the dream, it means that he will be
saved from an adverse condition through miraculous events. If the new dye does
not work in the dream, it means that his true nature will be exposed and he will
have no solutions to protect himself from defamation or public abuse. If he tries
to dyes his hair with dry henna clay, and if his hair still accepts it in the dream,
it means that he is an ignorant person, though he will ultimately repent for his
sins, amend his actions and improve himself. If a woman sees her hands dyed
with gold in a dream, it means that she will give all her wealth to her husband
and that she will be satisfied to see him happy, though in reality she too will gain
power and status in her family. If a man sees his feet dyed and tattooed in a
dream, it means that he will be struck with family problems. A dyed hand in a
dream means hardship in making ends meet. If one dips his hand into a laying
corpse in a dream, it means that he will witness a conspiracy. If one sees his
hands dyed in a dream, it also means that he has reached the end of the rope
with his money or business. If one sees his dyed hands wrapped or bandaged in
a dream, it means that he will lose a trial or a fight with his rivals, or that he
will fail to meet such a challenge again. Dyeing only the finger with henna in
a dream represents branches of dates or clusters of grapes. In general, dyeing
one’s hands with henna or one’s hair with regular dye as a makeup in a dream
represents joy for the husband and wife as long as they do not exceed the norms.
Dyeing one’s hands and feet in a dream means redecorating one’s house. If a poor
person sees himself dyeing his hands or hair in a dream, it means that he will
cover up the loss of his ablution during prayers or during his reading of the Holy
Quran or during other ritual occasions where he is required to have ablution
before proceeding. It could also mean that he cares little about attending his
prayers. As for women, dyeing means happiness, new clothing, receiving gold,
or a wedding celebration. If the dye exceeds the required surface of the hands
or the feet in the dream, it means being struck with fear and worries caused by
one’s business or friends. If a man sees himself in a dream dyeing his hair or
beard with other than henna, it means that he will suffer from what he fears
most. Dyeing or suppressing one’s feelings for a sick person means recovering
from his ailment. Dyeing one’s hair black in a dream means hiding one’s bad
conditions, spoiling the benefits of one’s deeds, or hiding one’s evil intentions.
This is taken from the practice of Egypt’s Pharaoh who sometimes dyed his hair
black, thus trying to hide his appearance and ignorance.

Clouds
(Concealment; Gloom; Dream; Life; Rains; Skies; Soldiers; Sufferings;
Vapor; Water) In a dream, clouds represent the course of life which provides
people with rainwater to drink, water to wash their dirt, water for their crops
and sustenance. Clouds in a dream also represent knowledge, understanding,
wisdom, clarity as they show the divine kindness. Clouds in a dream also
represent an army or friends who carry the water and the water represents life
and the original element from which they were created. Clouds in a dream also
represent ships, airplanes, or if they are black or carry stones or bring thunder,
then they represent the antagonistic character of a leader who deprives his
people from their rights or causes them to suffer through restrictive laws or
harsh mandates. If one sees a cloud inside his house or descending upon him in
his room in a dream, it means that he will join the company of believers or
receives an award, or that he is endowed with wisdom, or should he wish for a
child, his wife will conceive one. If he is a merchant, it means that his
merchandise will arrive to its port of destination. If one sees himself riding over
a cloud in a dream, it means exaltation or marriage to a pious woman, or that
one will attend a pilgrimage should it be his wish. Otherwise, should he wish
for it, he will become renowned for his knowledge and wisdom. Should he
qualify, it means that he will lead an army, or that he will rise in rank, or that
he will be sent as an emissary of his government or as an ambassador. If people
are expecting clouds to water their farms, and should one see masses of clear
clouds carrying rains and coming in that direction in the dream, it means a
calamity. If the clouds carry poisonous rains or acid rains or polluted rains, or
if they are driven by heavy winds, or if they carry fires or dust or ashes or rocks
from a volcano, they mean that a calamity will strike that locality, or that they
will receive news about travellers the majority of whom will perish during a trip.
Clouds also mean innovations and man made religions that may spread throughout
the land. If one sees himself merging with the clouds in a dream, it means that
he associates himself with a person in authority or a wise man or a man of
knowledge. If one sees himself eating clouds in his dream, it means that he will
gain lawfully earned money from such a person, or that perhaps he may gain
wisdom. If one sees himself amassing clouds in a dream, it means that he will
learn wisdom at the hand of a close associate. If one sees himself mixing with
the clouds but does not carry anything out of them in a dream, it means that he
will mix with people of knowledge and learn nothing from what they say, or
practice nothing of what they teach. If one sees himself riding over the clouds
in a dream, it means that he may become famous for his wisdom and knowledge.
If one sees his own son turned into a cloud in a dream, it means that he earns
his livelihood from teaching wisdom or religious knowledge to others. Black clouds
in a dream mean wisdom, forbearance, honesty and joy. If the black clouds also
carry a threat or cause fear in the dream, it means that one will be reprimanded
by such a wise person. If one sees himself building a house over a cloud in a
dream, it means that he lives an honest life, earns lawful money and lives his
life with wisdom and integrity. If one builds a palace over a cloud in a dream,
it means that through his wisdom, he avoids committing sins. It also means that
he prospers from such a wisdom or builds a palace in paradise with his deeds.
If one sees a cloud in his hand and rain falling from it in a dream, it denotes the
wisdom he speaks. If one turns into a rainy cloud in a dream, it means that he
lives wealthy and benefits people from his money. If one turns into a cloud that
rains gold in a dream, it means that he will learn wisdom from a great man.
Clouds in a dream also represent the people in authority who do others favors
and ask for no reward. If one hears a human sound calling him from behind a
cloud in a dream, it means that God willing he will attend a pilgrimage. ( See
Invisible caller). A black cloud in a dream also represents a just judge, while a
white cloud represents a blessed and a noble justice. Clouds in season in a dream
represent benefits, profits and prosperity. A mass of black clouds carrying no
rain in a dream mean benefits, extreme cold, sadness or sorrow. Red clouds in
a dream mean distress, adversities or a sickness. A cloud covering a town in a
dream means blessings. If the person who sees such black clouds in his dream
is intending to take a trip, it will take place, though his safety cannot be insured.
On the other hand, if he is unhappy about something, then if he sees such a
dream, it means that his sorrow will be dispelled. White clouds in a dream are
a sign of work, a job or business. Rising fog in a dream means taking a journey,
or returning from one. Red clouds in a dream means lack of work. A gloomy cloud
in a dream means stress. If one sees clouds welcoming him in a dream, it means
glad tidings. If he is an evil person, it means a calamity and a chastisement for
his sins. If one sees clouds covering the sun in a dream, it means that the ruler
of that land is ill. If one sees himself wearing a shirt of clouds in a dream, it
means blessings that God Almighty has favored him with. Clouds in a dream
also represent virtues, miracles, favors, rains, love and blessings, because they
also appear when a prophet or a saint pray for rain or to shelter a blessed person
from the heat of the sun. Clouds in a dream also mean travel by sea or air.

Stairway
(Conveyor; Steps; Travels) In a dream, stairways represent the vehicle
of rising in station, advancement in worldly gains, seeking the blessings of the
hereafter, and the rising of one’s station in the hereafter. A stairway in a dream
also could represent the days of one’s life and their term. If one sees a staircase
which he recognizes in the dream, it could represent the servant of a house, its
owner, or its accountant. If a sick person sees himself climbing an unknown
staircase which is leading him to the upper room from where he can see paradise
in the dream, it means that he may die from his illness and reach what he saw.
If obstacles hinder his way or impede his climb in the dream, it means that he
is detained, and the immediate blessings of such a gift will be veiled to him.
Descending a staircase in a dream means arriving from a journey, resigning
from one’s job, impeachment, or it could represent a pedestrian. If one’s descent
leads him to his family, house, or farmland in the dream, it means money. If
what he reaches at the end of the staircase is unknown, and if one meets people,
or souls he does not recognize in the dream, it also denotes what we have earlier
explained. If during one’s climb or descent he falls into a well, or if a giant bird
grabs him and flies away with him, or if a beast devours him, or if he steps into
a boat that sails away as he steps into it, or if he takes a step to find himself
riding an animal, or a vehicle of some type, the staircase then represents the
stages of one’s life and what he encountered during the journey of his life,
all replayed or screened before his eyes at the point of descending into his grave,
or as a book one reads after his death. If he does wake up and finds himself
healthy and fit, it means that he will become a tyrant, an unjust person, an
atheist and a reprobate. If one sees himself descending a staircase that leads
him into a mosque, lush foliage, green fields, a fresh breeze of spring, or into a
pond to take a ritual ablution to perform his prayers in the dream, it means that
he will become a true believer, repent for his his sins and abandon his
blameworthy conduct. Otherwise, if he descends upon adverse elements such as
snakes, lions, steep hills, corpses, or a field of scattered remains in a dream, then
it represents major trials and adversities. If the steps are made of clay in one’s
dream, they indicate positive signs. However, a stairway could be regarded as
unfavorable if its steps are made of backed bricks. If they are made of stones in
the dream, they mean business success, along with a heart like a stone. If the
staircase is made of wooden steps in the dream, it means reaching a high rank
which is compounded with hypocrisy. If they are made of gold in the dream, then
they mean achieving success and gaining authority. If they are made of silver
in the dream, they represent one’s entourage and attendants. Climbing a
staircase in a dream also means sharpening one’s intellect and awareness. In
a dream, a stairway is also interpreted to mean leading a life of ascetic
detachment and devotion. Coming near a staircase in a dream also means

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

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

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

that he has lost his religious devotion and faith. Carrying a copy of the Holy Book

revelations in a dream means that one may preside over people. If one sees

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

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

Judge
(Man; Person) Seeing a judge or a governor in a dream means involvement
in the judicial business. If one is appointed to be a judge in a dream, it means
that he will be just and righteous. If one sees himself sitting on the bench, but
finds himself unable to handle people’s cases with justice, it means that he is
an unjust person. If one presides over people in a dream, it means that he may
be dismissed from his job. If a traveller becomes a judge in a dream, it means
that he will be held up by robbers, or it could mean that God’s blessings upon
him will turn into a curse. If one sees a known judge being unjust in a dream,
it means that the people of that locality are inequitable and that they cheat in
their weights and measures. If one sees himself standing before a judge, and if
the judge treats him fairly in the dream, it means that he will find justice
concerning a personal case involving himself and an adversary, or it could mean
relief from depression and stress. If the judge is inequitable in the dream, it
means that one will lose to his adversary. If someone sees a judge holding the
scale of justice and that the scale tilts to one’s favor in the dream, it represents
glad tidings of a great reward from God Almighty for one’s deeds. However, if
the scale of justice tilts to the opposite direction, then it represents a warning
from God Almighty for one to repent of his sins, or abandon his involvement in
a sinful ventures. If one sees the judge weighing pennies or bad monies in the
scale of justice, it means that one will give a false testimony which will be
accepted. If one sees himself as a judge, a wise man, a scholar, or a righteous
man in a dream, it means that he will attain fame, good reputation, ascetic
detachment and spiritual knowledge if he qualifies for that. If one is not suitable
for such blessings, then it means that he will be falsely accused of a crime, or
that he maybe robbed during a trip. If a judge looks cheerful in a dream, it means
glad tidings. Seeing the bench of a judge in a dream means a scare or a fight.
Seeing the seat of rulers, judges, speakers, scholars, or teachers in a dream
means disturbance, sorrow, money, business losses, sickness, depression, or the
surfacing of hidden secrets. If a sick person sees himself standing before a judge
in a dream, it means his death. However, if the case is decided to his favor in
the dream, it means that he will recover from his illness. If one who is facing
adversities sees himself sitting in the judges bench in a dream, it means that
he will triumph. An unknown judge in a dream represents God Almighty. A
known judge in a dream represents a physician.

Column
(Pillar; Post) In a dream, a column represents one’s religion. If one sees
a column descending from the firmament in a dream, it means a divine favor and
a blessing to have a just, compassionate and a forbearing ruler in that land. If
one is hit with a post, or if he uses it to beat someone in a dream, it means hearing
or exchanging harsh words that describe the quality of the one who is struck.
If one sees himself leaning against a pillar that he bought or which is given to
him in his dream, it means that he will rely upon an old woman for his livelihood,
or that he will marry an old woman. A column in a dream also represents a friend
one can depend on. A leaning column in a dream represents a worker who cheats
his employer, disobeys him and who is a hypocrite. If a worker sees a leaning
post in his dream, it means that his employer will lean toward kindness and
appreciation of his workers. Columns in a dream also represent important and
strong men who are capable of managing their responsibilities. Owning a
column or becoming a column in a dream, and if one qualifies, it means that he
will become a leader of his community, a pillar in his own field, or a beacon of
knowledge and a pillar of wisdom who is sought by knowledge seeking people.
If one becomes a pillar in a dream, it also could mean his death, or it could mean
crying. A pillar in a dream also represents a father, a son, money, capital, a
partner, a vehicle, one’s wife or a leader. A marble column in a dream represents
a great wealth, a great man, or a great woman. A column made from granite in
a dream represents someone who despises himself. If it is from stone, it means
fast changing conditions. If it is a wooden column in the dream, then it
represents a hypocrite. The pillars of a mosque represent the Imam, the
muezzin, the servants and the people who pray in it. (Also see Base)

Rocks
(Stone) Mountain rocks in a dream represent strong believers who hold
fast to their religious duties. If one sees himself trying to lift a heavy rock,
testing his strength in a dream, it means that he will face a strong opponent.
If he succeeds at lifting it in the dream, it means that he will win his battle.
Otherwise, it could mean that he will lose it. If one sees stones hitting him, or
falling over his head in a dream, it means that his superior will delegate heavy
responsibilities to him, compel him to do a personal favor, depend on him or
impose a service on him. In this case, it means that one’s advice will have effect
and his opinion will be respected. Throwing stones in every direction from a high
altitude in a dream means being unjust toward others, or it could mean being
in a position of strength. If one sees women throwing stones at him using a
slingshot in a dream, it means sorcery and a bad spell. If a poor person sees
himself hitting a rock with a staff to split it, and suddenly water gushes forth
from it in the dream, it means that he will become rich. A rock in a dream also
represents hard working women who are patient and bearing their sufferings
with determination. A rock in a dream also means longevity, construction,
forgetfulness, cattle, impudence, shamelessness, fornication, a dissolute life,
immorality, or heartlessness. Seeing a town scattered with rocks in a dream also
could mean lower prices. If a rock is interpreted as a rank, then it means a
lasting one. If it denotes one’s wife, then it means that she is patient and content.
A rock in a dream also represents a threshold, a house, or a statue. Seeing a
mountain of rocks in a dream represents heartless, brutal and cruel men, or it
could denote their dwellings. If one sees himself drilling a hole into a rock in a
dream, it means that he is searching for something hard to get, though he will
be able to reach as far as he reaches through drilling in his dream. Descending
upon a rock in a dream is interpreted the same as descending upon a mountain
in a dream. Rocks in a dream are also interpreted to mean dead people,
heedlessness, ignorance, or immorality. (Also see Stone)

Young woman
(Teenage girl) A young girl in a dream represents an enemy
however she may look. Seeing a well dressed and pleasingly adorned young
woman in a dream means hearing pleasing news coming from an unexpected
person. Seeing a young and a beautiful looking female servant in a dream means
blessings, a favor, joy and festivities. In a dream, seeing an unknown young girl
is more advantageous than seeing a known one. The strongest in meaning are
those teenage girls who are presentable, well mannered and beautifully dressed.
If she is seen dressed with modesty in the dream, then she represents goodness,
chastity, discreteness, and following the correct religious conduct. If she adorns
herself and plays up her charms in the dream, then such goodness will be public.
If a young girl sees herself as an old woman in a dream, it means that she will
live with modesty and preserve her chastity. If an old woman sees herself turned
young again in the dream, it means regaining her strength, sexual desire and
fertility. If she engages in lawful sexual intercourse in marriage, it denotes
strong religious adherence. If she engages in sexual intercourse with someone
without marriage in the dream, then her dream represents her love for the world
and attachment to its glitters. If one sees an old woman turned young in a dream,
then the above explanation becomes stronger. However, if one is poor, it means
that her basic needs will be secured. If one has lost her chances in this world,
it means that she will have a new opportunity, or if she is sick, it means that
she will recover from her illness. Seeing a young girl frowning in a dream means
that one may hear disturbing news. If she looks emaciated, then one’s dream
denotes poverty. If she is naked in the dream, it means business losses and
defamation. Marrying a virgin teenage girl in a dream means wealth. (Also see

victory, might and unity between the believers. To die as a martyr on God’s path
in a dream means joy, happiness and prosperity. Joining a jihad battle in the
sea in a dream means poverty, failure and walking toward destruction. Winning
a sea battle in Jihad against a tyrant in a dream means restoring one’s religious
commitment, and it could represent a protective jealousy for one’s wife, or
winning a struggle in favor of one’s parents. Victory in the battlefield during
Jihad means profits in one’s business. Returning from a holy war against an
oppressor in a dream means that one may lose his religious commitment or
disobey his parents, which is a major sin in Islam. (Also see Inner struggle)

theft, alcoholism, invented religious practices, travels, music, bars, tricks,
sleight of hand, illusion, sorcery and magic. If one is transformed into a Jinni
in a dream, it means that he will acquire such qualities. If one meets a Jinni who
displays truthfulness, knowledge and wisdom which is recognizable by the
person in the dream it means that he will receive good news. Seeing Jinn
standing by one’s door in a dream means losses, a vow that must be fulfilled, or
experiencing bad luck. Seeing Jinn entering one’s house and doing work there
in a dream means that thieves may enter that house and cause major losses. If
one sees himself teaching the Quran to a gathering of Jinn in a dream, it means
that he will be appointed to a leadership position. Accompanying Jinn in a
dream means familiarity with, and keeping the company of men of knowledge,
or people of inner knowledge. If one marries a female from amongst the Jinn in
a dream, it means that he will marry an insolent wife, or that he may suffer a
great calamity. If a righteous person sees himself chaining Jinn in a dream, it
means that he holds fast to his prayers, fasting, controls his carnal self and base
desires. Engaging in a battle with Jinn in a dream means that one will be safe
from their evil. To befriend a known leader from amongst the Jinn in a dream
means becoming a police officer and make it one’s profession to pursue criminals
and bandits. It also could mean that one might become a guided man of
knowledge or a teacher. Seeing Jinn gathering in a known locality in a dream
also may indicate the presence of snakes, scorpions, or what human beings may

but to no avail in a dream means one’s failure to complete an important project.
Breaking a lock and entering a house in a dream represents a conqueror or
benefits that will come through such a person. A padlock in a dream also

Castration
If one intends to bank something with someone as a trust or to confide
a secret with someone, then if he witnesses a case of castration in a dream, he
should immediately halt that intention, or cancel such arrangement. If one sees
himself castrated in his dream, it means that he declines to testifying to the
truth. If one finds that he became castrated, or if he does so to himself in a dream,

command. If one meets a castrated person who is unknown to him and who has
a dignified look and speaks words of wisdom in the dream, it means that he has

Standing in the air in a dream means being honored or acknowledged by a

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
