represents a king or a judge who deals with Islamic jurisprudence. If a king, a
ruler, or a judge sees that the Holy Book does no longer exist, or if he sees it
burning, or if its contents are washed away in a dream, it means his death. If
one sees a ruler or a governor handwriting a copy of the Holy Book in a dream,
it means that he is a just person who uses the divine laws in making his decision.
If a judge sees himself handwritings copy of the Holy Book in a dream, it means
that he does not share his knowledge, and that he is audacious about his rank
and status. If a religious scholar or a theologian sees himself writing a copy of
Holy Book in a dream, it means that he will profit from a business deal. If one
sees a king, or a ruler swallowing the Holy Book in a dream, it means that he

teacher, or shaikh, or it could mean making a true oath, receiving glad tidings,
admonition or a warning. Seeing the Holy Book or any of the early divine
revelations in a dream means that one may preside over people. If one sees
himself carrying the Holy Book, or even any book of revelations, and if when he
opens it finds the pages blank with no writing inside it in the dream, it means
that he portrays himself to be what he is not, or that he impersonates a scholar,
or pretends to be religious. Kissing the Holy Book in a dream means revering
what it contains and adhering to what it commands. If one looks into the pages
of the Holy Book and finds its lines crooked in a dream, it means that he lives
satisfied with what he has, and fulfills his required duties accordingly. Stealing
a copy of the Holy Book and hiding it in a dream means that one cheats in
performing his own prayers, or fails to do them properly. If one sees himself
looking in the Holy Book, then writing from what he is reading on his own
garment in the dream, it means that he interprets the Quranic revelation
according to his own liking. If one sees a Holy Book sitting in his lap, then if a

inheritance, and benefit from the piety of his father, and as a trust, a lawful
earning and a source of strength in his life. Buying a copy of the Holy Book in
dream means benefits, prosperity and becoming a renowned and a distinguished
religious scholar. If the Holy Book is snatched away from someone’s hands in
a dream, it means that he will lose his knowledge, or perhaps lose his employment.
If one sees himself spreading the pages of the Holy Book on a flat surface in a
dream, it means that he is seeking wisdom which he will get, or that he may
receive an inheritance. If one sees himself putting the Holy Book over his
shoulders in a dream, it means that he will receive an appointment, or be
entrusted with a duty to guard, or that he will memorize the Holy Quran. If one

he is a regular reader of the Quran. If one sees himself trying to eat the pages
of the holy Book but is unable to do so in a dream, it means that he tries to
memorize the Holy Quran from time to time but keeps forgetting what he
learns. (Also see Quran)

Death
In a dream, death signifies religious failure, corruption and rising in status
in the world. This interpretation applies if one is carried on a bier or on a litter
and his funeral is accompanied with crying and lamentation except if he is
buried in the dream. If one witnesses his own burial in the dream, then it means
that his case is hopeless and that he will be seized by the world. One's followers
or assisting entourage will be as many as those who walk in his funeral in the
dream. However, he will conquer people and ride over their shoulders. If one dies
in his dream but does not have the look of dead people and there is no crying
over his death or a funeral in the dream, it means that one of his properties will
be torn down, or that a room in his house will collapse, or that a wall will cave
in, or it could mean that a pillar will breakdown. Such a dream also may signify
weakness in one's religious standing or blindness of his heart. Despite that, he
will live a long life. If one dies in a dream and finds himself looking like a dead

represents his rising in rank and promotion in the world. Death in a dream also
signifies travels, or it could mean poverty. One's death and burial in his dream

perfumed, and a bridegroom also takes a bath and anoints himself with
perfumes on his wedding day. If one dies and is carried over people's shoulders,
though they do not bury him in the dream, it means that he will conquer his
enemy and should he qualify for leadership, he will attain it. To come back to

in a dream, and if it does not take place, then it means that one is experiencing
confused dreams. If one sees a deceased person well dressed in a white or a green
garment, smiling and happy in a dream, it means that he is in that state one
witnessed in his dream. Otherwise, if one sees him disheveled, dirty, frowning
or crying in a dream, this also denotes his condition in the hereafter. If one sees
a deceased person sick in a dream, it means that his condition is contingent upon
the satisfaction of his debts and that he is awaiting the Divine justice to take
its course. Performing a funeral prayer for deceased people in a dream means
asking for forgiveness on their behalf or visiting their graves, or it could mean
admonishing someone with a dead heart, or it could mean bidding farewell to
traveling people or taking care of needy people. If one's wife dies and returns
back to life in a dream, it means making profits from a plantation or a farm.

in a dream, it means that he will get married. If a sick person gets married in
a dream, it means that he will shortly die. If a married person dies and gets
buried in a dream, it means that he will divorce his wife or break a business
partnership or separates from his brothers, sisters and friends, or it could mean
that he may emigrate to another country. Otherwise, if he has already migrated
from his homeland, it means that he will return to it. Death in a dream has

Flower shop owner
In a dream, he represents someone who has gratitude and
contentment, or someone who faces his adversities with patience.
Interpreted by Ibn Sirin
Reject
In a dream, rejecting something means ingratitude or disbelief.
Relationships: (Bond; Connection; Liaison) To have important connections in a
dream means compelling one’s enemy to retreat or to accept one’s conditions. To
have strong relationships in a dream cools the divine wrath, as does giving
charity in secret. This is true unless one’s connections or circle gathers a group
of evil companions, or if one is mingling with a band of conspirators.
Relaxation: (Ease; Leisure; Repose; Rest) To see oneself relaxing after toiling in
a dream means wealth after poverty, or a happy marriage after a miserable one.
If a sick person sees himself relaxed in a dream, it means the nearing of his
death, and taking a rest from the adversities and toiling of this world. On the
other hand, relaxing in a dream may mean misery, worries and unhappiness.
Relief: (See Death; Freedom; Manumission; Slaughter)

reversing the course of one’s life to attain success and to replace failure. If one
sees himself refraining from evil and sins in a dream, it means that he will be
tried with an adversity, then repents to regain honor after humiliation. If one

will fall into its trap, though the conclusion will turn positive. If a musician or
an adulterer repents from sin in a dream, it means that he may experience
poverty after richness. (Also see Prostration; Tithe collector)

Seeing plaster in any form in one’s dream means preserving one’s dignity,
holding to one’s status and position, or it could mean persevering in one’s goals.

children, assiduity, concern for one’s religious duties, applying knowledge to
one’s words, ability to appreciate and to express one’s gratitude, recovering from
an illness, buying new clothing, or drafting a just agreement. Gypsum in a
dream has the same interpretation. If a renunciate or a pious person sees plaster
or gypsum in his dream, it becomes a proof of an unlawful or sullied substances
mixing with their earnings, or it could mean engaging in religious innovations,
neglecting to follow the prophetic example, or becoming a hypocrite. (Also see
