Harvest
Harvesting one’s farm in a dream means ease after difficulty, or seeing
a fast return on one’s investment. It also could represent destruction, or it could
mean receiving admonition. The portion harvested in a dream will equal the size
of destruction that will befall the area. If one sees people harvesting a field in
the middle of the marketplace or a road in a dream, it means that a calamity
will befall them because of their sins. On the other hand, it also means profiting
from one’s business. If worshippers are seen harvesting inside a mosque with
no outside help in a dream, it means reaping the reward of their devotion and
sincerity. Throwing the harvest back into the fields means that one’s deeds are
worthless. To see oneself harvesting outside the season in a dream means
devastation, war, or death. Harvesting a green crop in the dream connotes the
death of a young person. If the color of the harvest is white in the dream, it means
death of an elderly person. If one sees the crop being harvested before its time,
or much later than its due time in the dream, it means death or a war. (Also see

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
skinning himself in a dream, it means money he will part with, and if he is sick,
it means his death. (Also see Dry skin; Skin)

Pregnancy
(Childbearing; Planting) In a dream, a pregnancy indicates woman’s
success, diligence and assiduity in pursuing her goals. In a dream, pregnancy
also means receiving recognition, respect and prosperity. If a man sees himself
pregnant in a dream, it means that he suffers from heaviness in his life, or it
could represent one’s fear of exposing his problems in public. In general,
pregnancy in a dream represents material gains. If a woman sees herself
pregnant in a dream, it means difficulties and adversities beside some troubling
secrets she maybe hiding. However, for a learned man, pregnancy in a dream
may represent increase in his knowledge, while for a craftsman, it means
achieving unrivalled excellence in his trade. Pregnancy in a dream also means
being madly in love, or having passionate attachment to someone, or planting
seeds in the wrong place, or beingbisexual or a deviate, or suffering from dropsy,
or perhaps it could mean that a thief will enter his house to steal something, or
to hide a stollen object, or that one may steal something and hide it from its true
owner, or that he may get sick from eating spoiled food, or it could mean that
he may bury a dear person, or that he is affected and a liar, or he may hide his
real beliefs and show a better standing in public, or it may represent an accident
or a fire. As for a woman, her pregnancy in a dream means losing her virginity
before marriage, or that she will marry an unsuitable person. If a barren woman
sees her self pregnant in a dream, it means a bad harvest for that year, or it could
mean a robbery in her neighborhood. If an unmarried woman or a young virgin
sees herself pregnant in a dream, it means that she will find a compatible
husband. Pregnancy in a dream has many meanings. In a dream, woman’s
pregnancy means wealth, and man’s pregnancy means pain and sorrow. However,
generally speaking, pregnancy in a dream also could mean prosperity and
material success. The extent of wealth is measured by the number of months of
such pregnancy and the size of one’s growth in the dream. This is true whether
it is a man or a woman in the dream. If a young boy who is under the age of
puberty sees himself pregnant in a dream, it represents his father, and if a young
girl who is under the age of menstruation sees herself pregnant, then it
represents her mother. If a man sees his wife pregnant in a dream, it reflects
his desire for material success. If one sees his pregnant wife delivering a baby
boy in a dream, it means that she will give birth to a girl and the opposite maybe
true, except if it is common for the person in the dream to experience in
wakefulness what he sees in his dream. If one sees himself delivering a baby
from his mouth in a dream, it means his death, or it could mean that he will use
poised and pleasant words in a conversation with someone he is careful not to
offend. If a man gives birth to a baby boy in a dream, it means that he will carry
a heavy burden then escape from it, or it could mean that he will vanquish his
enemy, or it could mean that he may escape from a treacherous woman. If a
pregnant woman sees herself delivering a child in a dream though having not
had sexual intercourse with her husband, it means that she will discover a
hidden treasure. A pregnant animal in a dream denotes benefits or profits. (Also

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

Five times prayers
(Communication; Communion; Invocations; Prayers; arb. Salat)
To see oneself performing one’s obligatory prayers (arb. Fardh ) in a dream means
receiving a high ranking appointment, spiritual advancement, leadership,
presiding over people, delivering a message, performing a duty, paying dues,
turning over one’s trust or satisfying obligatory deeds and enjoying peace. If one
sees himself in a dream performing one of the five obligatory prayers on time,
having performed the proper ablution and correctly completed its obeisance of
the proper standing, bowing and prostrating postures, standing with reverence
and piety and facing the Ka‘aba, it means that he will perform a religious duty
or attend the annual pilgrimage in Mecca. It also means that he will extricate
himself from an unjust deed he fell into and repent, or it could mean eschewing
evil. Performing the divinely ordained prayers in dream also means loyalty to
one’s promise, employment for a person who could not find a job, or reconcili¬
ation with a long forsaken friend or relative. If one leads the prayers in his
dream, it means that he will guarantee something to someone, or it could means
that he will borrow money for a term. If one prays behind an Imam in the dream,
it means that he will become a burden to others. The midday prayers known in
Arabic as Zuhur signify a manifestation, a proclamation or exposing what is
hidden. Praying Zuhur in a dream means attaining one’s goal, satisfying every
need, obtaining everything one has asked for from earthly gains in this world,
or it could mean spiritual benefits in the hereafter and particularly if one sees
himself completing his prayers in the dream. Completing one’s prayers means
achieving one’s goal. If one is incarcerated because of a debt and sees himself
completing his Zuhur prayers in a dream, it means that someone will pay his
debt for him and gets him released from prison and he will then prosper. If one
sees himself performing his Zuhur prayers in a clear day and feels happy about
it in his dream, it means that he will engage in some work that will make him
famous and that he will enjoy the fruits of his work as much as he did in that
clear and beautiful day in his dream. If one performs his midday Zuhur prayers
in a cloudy day in a dream, it means that his work will be distressful. As for the
mid-afternoon prayers, known in Arabic as Asr, performing it in a dream means
taking a vow or making a promise. This prayer in a dream also represents one’s
liability. If one sees himself performing the ‘Asr prayers in a dream, it means
that what he is asking for will materialize, though after some hardships and
adversities. If one does not complete his ‘Asr prayers in a dream, it means that
what he is asking for may not take place. If one sees himself performing the
sunset prayers, known in Arabic as Maghrib in a dream, it means that what he
is seeking has reachd its term. If one completes his Maghrib prayers in the
dream, it means that he will get what his heart desires. As for the night prayer,
known in Arabic as ‘Isha. If one sees himself performing his ‘Isha prayers in a
dream, it means that he will complete his work and get what he wants, or it could
mean the end of his life, following which, one u su ally attends to his resting time,
which is similar to death. If one sees himself performing the daybreak prayers
before dawn in a dream, it means that the morning has come and it will be soon
before he hears either good or bad news. On another level, if one sees himself
praying the evening ‘Isha prayers in a dream, it means that he is committed to
attend to his family’s needs as commanded by God Almighty, such as providing
for their food, clothing, shelter and teachings. If one sees himself praying in the
middle of the night (arb. Witter) in a dream, it means that he does attend to his
family’s needs and perhaps they feel comfort in his presence. If one sees himself
performing the dawn Fajr prayers in a dream, it means that he will start with
the inevitable, such as working to provide for his family. If one sees himself
performing the midday Zuhur prayers at the time of the mid-afternoon prayers
in a dream, it means that he will repay his debts. If one’s midday Zuhur prayers
or his mid-afternoon ‘Asr prayers are interrupted in the dream, it means that
he will pay half of what he owes. If one sees himself performing the mid¬
afternoon prayers in a dream, it means that his job will shortly be completed and
only little work is left for him to finish. Praying the sunset Maghrib prayers in
a dream means finishing one’s duties and it is time for him to take a rest. The
night ‘Isha prayers in a dream means veiling things or entering the privacy of
one’s home. On a third level, the midday guhur prayers mean repentance, dis¬
missal or abrogation of laws. The midday Zuhur prayers also could mean
struggling against Satan and one’s enemies, which struggle takes place usually
at the time of one’s midday nap. The mid-afternoon ‘Asr prayers in a dream also
represents victory in one’s life, or it could mean guidance, blessings and
observing God’s laws. The sunset Maghrib prayers in a dream means losing a
parent, the passing away of one’s guardian, the death of a close friend or the
impeachment of the person the dream indicate. Seeing oneself praying the night
‘Isha prayers in a dream means preparing for a journey, or it could mean
marriage, moving from one place into another, or it could mean suffering from
cataract, weakness of one’s vision, or it could denote the vastness of what is to
come, for ‘Isha prayers are distant from the dawn Fajr prayers. Performing the
dawn Fajr prayers in a dream indicates a vow one pledges. Praying the mid¬
afternoon ‘Asr prayers in a dream means attaining ease after suffering from
hardships. Performing the sunset Maghrib prayers in a dream means having
crossed something that will come back later, and performing the night ‘Isha prayers
in a dream means deception and a tricks. If one sees himself performing the
Friday congregational prayers in a dream, it means that he will attain what he

If one performs his prayers in a mosque, then leaves it to attend to other duties
in a dream, it means that whatever he attends to will be blessed, and he will
profit from it. If one sees himself praying while riding in a dream, it means that
he is struck with fear, or that he may face a fight. If one sees himself performing
the obligatory (arb. Fardh) prayers shortened to two groupings of prostrations
(arb. Rakat) in a dream, it means travels. If one sees himself praying while
eating honey in a dream, it means that he may engage in sexual intercourse with
his wife during the fasting hours. If a woman sees herself performing the
obligatory (arb. Fardh) prayers shortened to two grouping of prostrations in a
dream, it means that she will have her monthly menstrual period on that day.
If one discovers that he has missed the time of the prescribed prayer and could
not find a place or time to perform it in his dream, it means that he will face
difficulties finishing something or paying a debt or satisfy a worldly goal. If one

wrong direction in a dream, it means that he does the opposite of what he is
required to do, or that he acts the opposite of what God Almighty has ordained.
If one sees himself turning his back toward God’s House in a dream, it means
that he is an apostate who rejects God’s religion or that he does not care about
it. If one sees the people in the mosque facing another direction in his dream,
it means that their leader or judge will be dismissed from his office, or that he
neglects to follow the prescribed rules of his religion, or that he follows his own
mind and desire in making religious interpretations. However, performing one’s
prayers and turning with helplessness toward any direction and crying for help
in a dream means seeking God’s nearness, or asking to be accepted by other
believers for an unacceptable indulgence or a non-permissible opinion, or it
could mean travelling in the direction he faced in his dream. If one sees himself
praying eastward or westward and beyond the point of God’s House in Mecca
in a dream, it means that he is a despicable person who is full of arrogance, who
backbites and slanders others and who is daring to indulge in sin and disobedience

mayor of the town or village. Seeing a bull in a dream also means winning the
mayoral seat for a term or losing it after one year. If one sees himself owning
a herd of steers in a dream, it means receiving a governmental office and a vast
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

for one who seeks such connections. If one acts irrationally as a consequence of
something that affected his life in a dream, it denotes profits he earns from
usury. Seeing oneself extremely happy and excited in a dream means entering
paradise. In general, insanity represents profits equal to the degree of one’s
irrational behavior in his dream. How mad is he in his dream may indicate how
rich he will become. However, such profits will be spent in sinful ways and in
the company of an evil companion. Insanity in a dream also can be interpreted
as receiving an inheritance. The madness of one’s son in a dream represents the
father’s benefits. The madness of a woman in a dream represents a good harvest
for that year. Insanity in a dream is also interpreted as being madly in love. It
also could signify suffering from harsh beating, or perhaps it could mean

falsehood or slander. Hearing the sound of thunder in a dream also means being
reprimanded by a higher authority. There are no benefits in hearing the sound
of thunder in the darkness without seeing lightening in the dream, this would
be interpreted as apostasy or disloyalty. This can be particularly true when it
is accompanied with an earthquake. If one hears thunder in its season in a
dream, it means good news and blessings. Otherwise, out of its usual season,
thunder in a dream represents an army on the move, or a foreign occupation of
a country. Hearing the sound of thunder in a dream also represents hymns,
praising God Almighty, glorifying Him, or it could mean a sickness, fear,
deafness, or the sound of drums in a wedding. If the one seeing the dream is an
atheist, it means that he will be guided and have faith in God Almighty. If he
is a sinner, it means that he will repent for his sins. Hearing the roaring of
thunder in a dream on the first day of October means death. If it is heard during

means evil. If it is heard during the month of November in a dream, it means
blessings for the land, prosperity, the spreading of God’s words in a new land,
the falling of a comet in a populated area, the death of a leader, a pollution that

of April, it means abundance, falling prices, fertility in the lands, while if it is
seen on the twenty fifth day of April, it will mean price hiking. If it is seen on
the twenty ninth day of April, it means that blessings, fertility, relief and joy

people in Egypt. Meanwhile, prices will fall, and abundance will ease the

six days of July, it means that good rain will fall during the following December
and that the land will be fertile. During that year, several Western leaders will
die, and a war may take place in Persia. Meanwhile, evil will spread throughout
Egypt, and it will be brought about by its own leaders. If the dream takes place
during the last seven days of July, it means that peace will spread throughout
the earth, prices will fall in Iraq and in East Africa, and a new disease will affect
fruit trees, banana trees, date trees, though wheat will be available in abun¬
dance, even if the farmers were concerned about it in the early part of the year.

means blessings for the people in Syria and the people of Azerbaijan on the
Caspian Sea. At that time, sea passages will be blockaded, the highways will be

September in one’s dream, then it means a drought in Morocco. God knows best
what He has reserved for His creation and He is the best of judges.
Thunderbolt: Thunderbolts in a dream are signs of punishment, illness or death.
If a thunderbolt hits and burns something in the dream, it means false rumors,

homes in a dream, they mean the arrival of covetous and despicable criminals
in the company of decent and innocent people who are not aware of the true
identity of their companions. If thunderbolts strike the fields and damage the
crop in a dream, they represent taxes or an investigation. If one sees a town hit
and burnt with a thunderbolt in a dream, it means that an unjust governor will
rise in that town, and his government will bring fear, rising prices, economic
chaos, injustice or war. If a thunderbolt does not carry fire in the dream, then
it represents a new leader. (Also see Earthquake)

Charity
(Detergent; Discards; Filth; Loan; Tithe) Charity in a dream means
repelling calamities, recovering from illness, profits or truthfulness. This is also
true when it comes to earning one’s money lawfully, but if one gives a dead
animal or alcohol or a stolen or mismanaged money in charity, then his charity
is not acceptable and it means that he will pursue evil and indulge in sin. If a
farmer who is having a bad harvest sees himself giving some of what he plants
in charity in a dream, it means that his crop will increase and his produce will
be blessed. If one donates his charities to a rich person in a dream, it means that
he may suffer from tight financial circumstances, or that he may come to be in
need of such a person. If one gives a charitable donation to a prostitute in a
dream, it means that she will repent of her sin. If he gives a charity to a thief
in a dream, it means that the thief will cease his profession. Charity in a dream
also could mean suppressing the envy or spite of one’s rivals or subdue the
jealousy of one’s enemy, averting his dislikes, or suppressing evil in general. If
an angry person sees himself secretly distributing charity in a dream, it means
that God Almighty has forgiven him his sin of anger. Giving charity in secret
in one’s dream also could mean seeking the friendship of people in authority, or
to join the circles of people of knowledge. If a man of knowledge is asked to give
money in charity, and if he complies in his dream, it means that he will expound
his knowledge to others. If he is a merchant, it means that he will benefit others
with his business or teache them his trade. If he is a craftsman, he will teach
people his craft. If one who is under pressures, or if one is scared of something
sees himself feeding a beggar who is undergoing his own trials in a dream, it
means that one’s fears and stress will be dispelled. Charity in a dream also
denotes celebrating God’s praises, devotion, visiting the graveyards and doing
good. To spend money on God’s path in a dream means that one will surely
receive money in wakefulness. (Also see Alms tax; Endowment; Good deeds;

living in a good state and reaping the benefits of their deeds in the world. It could
also mean inheriting the deceased person. As for the deceased person himself,
it could also mean that he has left this world in a state of martyrdom. All green
garments in a dream represent benefits. Green in a dream is also interpreted

Apricot
(Fruit) In season, seeing an apricot in a dream means money. Seeing
apricot out of season in a dream means illness. A fruitbearing apricot tree in a
dream represents a rich man. However, it is said that an apricot tree in a dream
also represents someone who suffers from a serious illness, and is of little or no
use to others. On the other hand, it is said that an apricot tree in a dream
represents someone with a cheerful face, who is courageous in defends himself,
but who is stingy with his own family. When the apricot is still green and
unripened in the dream, it represents little money. When it ripens and becomes
yellow in adream, it denotes greater profits. Eating a ripened apricot in a dream
means being generous and charitable, or it could mean recovering from an
illness. Breaking a branch from an apricot tree in a dream means a dispute with
one’s family or with a friend. In general, breaking a branch from a tree in a
dream means claiming someone’s money or denying him his money, or it could
mean failing to perform one’s prayers, neglecting one’s obligatory fast or
misusing and damaging someone else’s property. Attending an apricot farm in
a dream means trustworthiness and dutifulness. It is also said that an apricot
tree in a dream represents a hypocrite, because yellow in a dream means illness,
and hypocrisy is an illness. An apricot tree in a dream also represents a wealthy
woman. Plucking apricots from a tree in a dream also could mean marrying such
a woman. Harvesting any fruitbearing tree in season in a dream means
pleasures and work, except for the mulberry tree, for here it means toiling,
hardship or waste of time. Plucking apricots from an apple tree in a dream
means impressing unjust rules upon others. In general, a yellow colored fruit
in a dream signifies illness. A sower tasting fruit in a dream signifies distress

(Fruit; Palm tree) In a dream, dates mean money or a good message. Eating
dates in a dream means earning lawful income. Dates are like money, they do

type of blood disease, whereby the red cells grow to exceed in number the white
cells. Dates in a dream also mean rain. Eating dates in a dream means reading
the Holy Quran and reaping benefits from one’s religion. Buried dates in a
dream represent one’s savings. If one sees himself burying dates in a dream, it
also means stealing from the property and money of orphans. Dates placed to
dry in the open represent money which does not last. To harvest dates in a dream
in season means that one may get married to a noble and a wealthy woman. It
also means acquiring knowledge. Harvesting dates out of season in a dream
means that one will learn something good but fail to act upon it. If one see that
he is fanning himself with a tender and a wet branch of a palm tree in a dream
it means learning something beneficial from a hypocrite, or it may mean relief
from distress. If a woman sees herself eating ripened dates that are dripping
with juices in the dream, it means that she will receive an inheritance from her
husband and that her name will be included in his will, even if she is divorced.
If one sees himself taking a date, splitting it in half and extracting the date pit
from it in a dream, it means that he will beget a son. Eating fresh dates in a
dream means hearing good words beside other benefits. (Also see Bunch of dates;

Sprout
(Garden greens; Leguminosae) A fresh sprout in a dream means distress,
but if it is dry, then it means a good harvest, or clean money which is earned
with joy. If one sees himself gathering a bunch of green sprouts in a dream, it
denotes a warning. If one recognizes its substance in his dream, interpreting the
element then goes back to its innate quality. Entering into a field of sprouts in
a dream means a marriage into the family who owns that farmland, or it could
mean a business partnership. If one sees himself bartering green sprouts for
bread in a dream, it means aversion to poverty. Eating cooked sprouts in a
dream means benefits in every respect. If one sees himself in a dream exchanging
quails and manna (See Manna) for green sprouts and garlic, it means that he
will be subjugated to poverty and humiliation. Purslane in a dream represents

means ostentatiousness. If it grows blood in the dream, it means that he profits
from usury. Eating green wheat in the fields from its spikes in a dream means
gaining spiritual progress through ascetic detachment. Eating cooked wheat in
a dream means afflictions. Holding a bundle of ears of wheat, or placing them
inside a pot in a dream means profits equal to the number of spikes one has

destruction, deception and trials for the people of that locality. Harvesting green
spikes of wheat in the dream means the death of a young person, but if they are

Juice
(Grapes; Sugar cane; Wine) Pressing grapes to make wine in a dream means
prosperity and a good harvest. The same interpretation is given for pressing
sugar cane or other fruits. If a poor person sees himself pressing grapes to make
wine in a dream, it means that he will prosper. If one sees everyone pressing
grapes to make wine, or pressing olives for their eating oil in a dream when the
economic conditions are down in one’s homeland, it means economic recovery.
If a scholar or a student on the path, or a prisoner sees that, it means that they
will escape from a potential danger. If a lender sees that, it means that he will
recover his money from people. If a student on the path sees that, it means that
he will succeed in his quest for knowledge. If a bachelor sees that, it means that
he will get married and have many children. Making wine in a dream means
good luck with one’s acquaintances, or earning unlawful and tainted money.

Hail
(Icy rain) In a dream, hail means calamity, sufferings, hunger, loss of
property, poverty, mass persecution, or torture. In nature, this element cools the
earth and eliminates many harmful insects, worms or scorpions and limits the
danger of snakes. Thus, seeing hail in its proper season in a dream means
eliminating the source of one’s stress and overcoming one’s difficulties, enemies,
or jealous competitors. Seeing hail in the summertime in a dream means
business losses, but if it falls in the winter in a dream, it means success and
prosperity. Heavy falling hail in a dream means destruction of businesses,
interruption of communication and damage to roads and highways. In that
sense, hail in a dream means obstruction of public interests. In a dream, hail
also represents a strange type of business that will come from the direction of
the wind carrying such a storm. If no harm occurs in one’s dream, then hail
represents glad tidings and especially if people start collecting it in bowls. If hail
falls over a farmland without damaging it in a dream, it means a good harvest.
If one gathers hail in his garment, or inside a cloth in a dream, it means that
he will lose his riches, or it could mean the loss of an awaited shipment. (Also
see Dew; Ice)

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.

Flood
(Inundation; Torrent) Flood in a dream represents enemy attack, harm,
destruction, sickness, a toiling journey or the inundation of a town. If the water
flows toward a river in a dream, it means that he will escape from a dangerous
enemy. Fighting a flood or trying to prevent it from entering one’s house in a
dream means fighting with one’s enemy to protect one’s family and property.
However, if people still benefit from its waters for their wells or farms in the
dream, then it represents a prosperous year and a good harvest, or it could
represent good irrigations and strong dams. In a dream, a flood also represents
lies, hypocrisy, wasting one’s speech, or it could mean falsehood. If one sees his
town flooded with blood in a dream, then it represents God’s wrath and
punishment for people’s sins. Inundations in a dream also could represent a
rainfall, one’s tongue or a sharp spoken woman. If one’s house is flooded in a
dream, it represent past deeds that will bring later benefits. Flood in a dream
also represents liquid nourishment such as honey, milk, or oil. If one sees
himself collecting the waters of a flood in jars and people seem happy about it
in the dream, it means the availability of food products in abundance and falling
or stabilization of prices. A flood in a dream also means blocking the roads to
extremism or isolating a danger. When one sees a flood in his dream but outside
of its season, it means that he is following some psychic influences or pursuing
religious innovations. It also means wrath, destruction, impeachment, penal¬
ties or a plague, unless if it is falling from the skies, then it means rains and
blessings. If one sees himself coming out of his home to swim into an inundated
town in the dream, it means that he will escape from a ruthless tyrant. Should
one fail to cross, and if he is rather forced to return to his house in the dream,
it means that he should be careful about staying in that town or about disobeying
his boss. Stopping the flood from reaching or entering one’s home in a dream also
means reconciliation with one’s enemy.

dream, it represents his death. If one sees the sun rising from an unusual

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

him prosperity and lawful earnings. If the sun discretely shines over one’s belly

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

from the sun in a dream, it means the impeachment of some members of the
governor’s cabinet or someone from his counsel. If one sees the sun turned red
in a dream, it means corruption. If it turns yellow in the dream, it means an
illness. If it turns black in the dream, it means losses. If one seeks the sun after
it sets in a dream, it means that whatever is destined for him whether it be good
or bad has passed. If one sees the sun rising at times different than its usual
sun rising time in a dream, it means that an uprising against the government
will take place in different parts of the country. If one sees himself with the sun
in a dream and should he be working in the government, or the army, it means
that he will betray his superior, or the ruler of that land. Otherwise, it means
that his condition will deteriorate and life will turn against him. If the sun has
no rays in the dream, it means that the governor or the general of the army will lose respect.
If he is an administrator, it means that he will be dismissed from his function.
If he is a subject or an employee it means that he will lose his source

husband will deprive her of her needs. If one sees the sun split in two in a dream,

person seeing it, or divulging a secret. The rising of the sun from the West also
means recovering from an illness, and for a businessman, it means profits from
that direction, but in general, it may mean revealing a secret, or it could mean
a scandal or death. The same interpretation is given if one sees the sun rising
from the South to set in the North. If the sun changes its nature in a dream, it
means trouble in that land. If one sits under the sun in a dream, it means that
he will receive honor and blessed profits. Grabbing some rays of the sun in a
dream means receiving undiminishing wealth. The sunrise in a dream also
means waking people up to go to work, seeking one’s livelihood, begetting a son,
or releasing a prisoner. If one is hiding something, then seeing the sun in his
dream means that his secret will be exposed. If one sees the rays of the sun
falling over his bed or threatening him in a dream, it means a painful sickness,
or inflammation of the skin. If the sun rays which are falling over his bed provide
him with good energy in the dream, it means a good harvest, or good health. If
travellers see many suns in the sky in a dream, it means profits and prosperity.

newborn who may die shortly after his birth, returning an ex-prisoner to jail
shortly after his release, earning amazing amounts of money, or repenting from
sin, reverting to wrongdoing, the return of a bride to her parent’s house
immediately after her wedding night, or it could mean reconciliation between

body in a dream, they represent an illness or death. As grass is cattle’s food and
cattle represents people’s wealth, then gathering and eating grass in a dream
means prosperity. If an ascetic sees himself eating grass in a dream, it means

will be deceived by it. Wild grass in a dream represent bad earnings and a
miserable life. Cutting and selling grass in a dream means dispelling stress and
difficulties, or it could represent a police officer or a tithe collector. (Also see

female menstrual period and the pain of childbirth. It may also mean suffering
from the burden of pregnancy, labor and the pangs of giving birth. Seeing Eve
in a dream also could mean givingbirth to both righteous as well as evil children.
If the woman in the dream is separated from her husband, it may mean

could mean that someone from her progeny may commit murder or die as a
martyr. If a man sees Eve in a dream, it means that he may be deceived by a
woman or that he hearkens exclusively to the advice of his wife, or if he follows
a woman’s advice, it means that he will err and lose his leadership. If one sees
Eve with her beautiful countenance in a dream, then she represents his mother,
for Eve is the mother of humankind. Should he then be under the pangs of
adversities, it means that he will be saved.

Beard
For a man, a beard in a dream signifies wealth, honor and dignity. If it is
moderately long or well trimmed in the dream, it means earning respect, rising
in rank, prosperity, beauty and sovereignty. If only the sides of one’s beard are
long and not the middle section in the dream, it means that one will work to save
money for someone else. If one’s beard is too long and lacks proper trimming in
a dream, it means indebtedness, distress and suffering from depression. If it
becomes long to the extent of reaching the floor in the dream, it means death.
If one’s beard grows long and thick in a dream, it means longevity or increase
in one’s wealth. If it reaches his belly in the dream, it means that he does not
obey God’s commands. If it grows longer than one’s grip in the dream, it means
that one lives from the interest he earns from usury. If the hair of one’s beard
is black in the dream, it means prosperity and satisfaction in one’s life. If its color
is greenish-black in the dream, it means extended wealth, power and rulership,
unless if one is a tyrant, for the color of Pharaoh’s beard was greenish-black. If
the color of one’s beard yields to yellow in the dream, it means poverty and
illness. If its color is blondish in the dream, it means a scare. If one grabs his
own beard in the dream and if its hair falls into his hand, and if he keeps holding
to the hair, it means incurring financial losses then recovering them, unless one
discards the hair in the dream. Pulling someone’s from his beard in the dream
means inheriting him. If one sees a young boy who has not reached the age of
puberty having a beard in a dream, it means the child’s death. If the child’s beard
is just starting to grow in the dream, it means that he will grow to lead and
command people. If one’s beard is shallow and if it makes him look fatuous in

original state in a dream, it means that a great happening will devastate such

the ground, hitting a segment of the community and sparing another segment
of it in the dream, it means that a calamity will befall that place, and it will
manifest through social disorder, injustices or a plague. If one sees the earth
shaking and the firmament rent asunder in a dream, it means that major
adversities will hit their properties, cattle, farms and institutions, etcetera, as
a divine chastisement for people’s sins. If one sees the earth moving under his
feet in a dream, then it represents one’s striving and pursuit of his business
needs or livelihood. An earthquake in a dream also represents exposing secrets,

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
person, and if his body is washed and wrapped in a shroud, it also means
weakness in his religion. All the sorrow and crying one sees in this case,
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
also means that he will die short of repentance. If one comes out of his grave after
his burial in the dream, it means that he will repent for his sins before dying.
Death in a dream also signifies marriage, for a deceased person is washed and
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
life after dying in a dream means that one will become rich and dispense with
poverty, or it could mean that he will repent for his sins. This dream also means

says about himself in a dream is true, for he has reached the abode of truth and
he can exercise no falsehood in that abode. If a deceased person tells something
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.

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

Almighty for his religious negligence. If the deceased person's face looks dark
or opaque in the dream, it means that he died as an unbeliever. If one sees a
deceased person sprightly, pleasant and casual in a dream, it means that one's
dream is mere hallucination, or that he is experiencing disturbed dreams, for

father or mother come back to life in a dream, it means relief from distress and
abolishing of his fears. This is particularly stronger when one's deceased mother
is seen in the dream. Resurrecting a deceased person in a dream means giving
guidance to an unbeliever or admonishing an innovator. This also could mean
admonishing heedless people who will repent for their sins. If one sees a
