it represents honor, longevity and respect. Whatever comes out of one's nose in
a dream is good and whatever goes into it in a dream may not be beneficial. A

off in a dream, it means circumcision, falling in rank, or it could mean his death.
Inhaling water and clearing one's nose in a dream represents someone who

relatives. The upper lip represents the male relatives and the lower lip represents
the female relatives. Sealed lips in a dream mean difficulties or adversities. The
mouth in a dream represents a key, one's livelihood, the conclusion of one's life,
death, illness, strength, a coffer, a marketplace, a door attendant, a chief

praiseworthiness and acquiring two types of knowledge. Seeing what is inside
one's mouth in a dream means exposing one's ills. Biting on one's tongue in a
dream means regret. Watching one's tongue in a dream means protecting
oneself from pitfalls. Carrying one's tongue by hand in a dream means receiving indemnity for bodily injury or receiving blood money. If one sees his throat
blocked in such a way that he could not speak in a dream, it denotes his
stinginess toward his own family. Ifone sees one of his limbs speaking against
him in a dream, it means that someone will report him to the authorities or
become a witness against him in court. If one sees himself in a dream riding over
the shoulders of his enemy, it means that he will commit a wrongdoing or a
shameful act. If there is no enmity between them, and if he sees himself riding
over the shoulders of a friend in a dream, it means earning something from him.
Carrying something over one's shoulders in a dream means debts. If one sees
himself carrying a hypocrite over his shoulders in a dream, it means that he may

also represent his parents, brothers, partners, station, or beauty. Anything that
affects them in a dream will manifest in any of the above. In a dream, one's neck

endowment. The neck and the shoulders in a dream represent one's trust or
trustworthiness. A healthy and strong neck in a dream means trustworthiness
and ability to meet one's obligations. Wounds, festering or purulence in one's
neck in a dream mean betraying God's trust. If one sees a nice bird sitting over
his neck in a dream it means benefits or an alibi. If it is not a gentle bird, then
it becomes a bad omen, or a rebuke. If one sees a necklace, a rope, a wire, or a
thread around his neck in a dream, it means fulfilling one's promise, acquiring
knowledge and honor. A long neck in a dream could mean four things, that is:
justice, leadership, attainment of one's goals or calling people to prayers. The
left hand represents one's helper, friend, savings, or a compassionate relative.
Longhands in a dream represent a charitable person, or a capable one, and short
hands mean the opposite. Long hands also could mean longevity, wealth,
helpers, borrowing money, governing, fulfilling one's commands, profits from
one's business or having business sense. If one's hand is cut off in a dream, it
means the death of his brother, his father, his partner, or a close friend or his
assistant. If the right hand is cut off in a dream, it means a vow one takes to
deprive someone from his rights. It also means loss of one's job or cutting off one's
blood ties, or it could mean that he has committed a theft. If a righteous person
sees his hand cut off in a dream, it means abstaining from wrongdoing or
eschewing evil. If one's left hand is cut off in a dream, it means reestablishing
his relationship with his family and rediscovering the benefits of good qualities.
If one's hand is broken in a dream, it means an adversity, illness, loss of
business, or loss of a dear person. The cracking skin of one's hands in a dream
means loss of wealth. Stretched hands in a dream means ill caused by a close

a family reunion, or a wedding. If one's hands are trembling in a dream, it means
weakness, illness, old age or longevity. If one's hands feel dry in a dream" it
means that such a person does little good in his life. If one enters his hand under
his arm's pit in a dream, then brings it out bright and radiant in a dream, it
means that he will acquire knowledge and may develop wisdom. Otherwise, it
could mean profits. If he brings forth his hand from under his arm's pit in the
dream, and if it reveal a flame in his dream, it represents a manifestation of
divine power and a blessed victory. If one pulls his hand from under his arm's
pit and it brings forth water in the dream, it means that he will receive great
benefits and growth in his life, or perhaps that a long awaited traveller will
shortly arrive to his doorsteps. If a right-handed person sees himself being left-
handed in a dream, it means hardships. If one sees himself walking with his
hands in a dream, it represents his dependence on a relative to provide for his
needs. If one's hands say something nice to him in a dream, it means financial comfort. If one's hand is cut-off in a dream as punishment for a sin, it could mean
marriage, a bad wife, or lack of trustworthiness. If one washes his hands with
soap in a dream, it means that he will abandon something he initiated, or that
his intention will not be fulfilled. If a form of life or a good spirit comes out from
one's hands in a dream, it indicates benefits. If such a life is a malignant one,
then it means the opposite. If one takes someone by the hand in a dream, it
means that he will help him and save his life. If something sprouts in one's hands
or if one's hands turn into iron, or a vegetable in a dream, it means negative
repercussions in wakefulness. Hands in a dream are interpreted in twelve ways:
that is a brother, a sister, a partner, a son, a compassionate friend, one's
strength, wealth, leadership, money, proof, a craft, or work. The condition in
which the palm of one's hand looks in a dream indicates the state of one's health
and fitness. Clapping one's hands in a dream could either mean joy and
happiness, or it could mean nothing. Wearing a glove in one's hand in a dream
means ceasing the course of wrongdoing. Slapping one's own face with both
hands means sorrow, sadness or calamities. Hitting the back of one's hand into
the palm of the other hand in a dream means separation. In a dream, the fingers
of the right hand represent the daily five time prayers. The thumb represents
the pre-dawn prayer, the index represents the midday prayer, the middle finger
represents the mid-afternoon prayer, the ring finger represents the sunset
prayer, and the little finger represents the evening prayer. As for the fingers of
the left hand in a dream, they are interpreted to represent one's nephews. To
cross or intertwine one's fingers in a dream means difficulties and poverty. One's
toes in a dream represent the beauty of his character and denote his straight-
forwardness. Any defect or crookedness in them in a dream will mirror in
wakefulness. If a toe or a finger is bitten or crushed in a dream, it denotes evil
or perhaps an accident. If one sees milk coming forth from his thumb and blood
coming forth from his index finger in a dream, it means that he will marry a
mother, then will he marry her daughter, or it could mean that he will rape the
mother, then her daughter. Cracking one's fingers in a dream means exchanging
bad words between relatives or being sarcastic or making fun of other people.
If one's fingers are paralyzed in a dream, it means that he has committed an
awful sin. If one sees his right hand paralyzed in a dream, it means injustice
toward a weak person or inflicting losses upon an innocent person. If one's left
hand is paralyzed in a dream, it means the death of his brother or sister. As for
the fingernails in a dream, they denote beauty, courage, strength, a religious
covenant, or money. If one's fingernails are chipped, extracted, or broken in a
dream, they means loss of money and strength. If they look nicely clipped in a
dream, they mean both spiritual and material benefits. Long nails at the point
of a near breaking in a dream mean distress, sorrow, fears and depression. If
one's nail becomes a claw in a dream, it means rising against one's enemy and
opposition. If one does not have fingernails in a dream, it means bankruptcy.
If one's fingernails turn yellow, green or blue or if they are broken in the dream,
it means death. Clipping them in a dream means dispelling calamities or
distress. If a thorn or a chip of wooden enters under one's fingernails in a dream,
it means loss of power or money. If one sees himself in a dream knocking his
fingernails against his teeth in a dream, it means committing a despicable and
a loathsome act. As for seeing one's chest in a dream, if one sees himself having
a broad and a nice looking chest (See Chest), it means repentance of a sinner,
or being eager and willing to follow the truth and to comply with it, or to make
easy what was earlier difficult. One's breasts in a dream (See Breast) represent
his daughter. Man's breast in a dream means a woman, and woman's breasts
in a dream represents a man. Breasts in a dream mean five things: a little boy,
a little girl, a servant, a friend, or a brother. One's abdomen in a dream means
money, children, relatives or prosperity. If one sees his abdomen being cut open and washed, then stitched back to normal in the dream, it means blessings from
God Almighty, forgiveness for one's sins, and it could mean that one will receive
spiritual guidance. One's abdomen in a dream also denotes his good conduct,
amiable character, blessed enterprises and protection from the evil of the
accursed Satan. If one sees a newborn son or daughter coming out of his
abdomen in a dream, it means that such a child will be born and will grow to
govern that household. As for one's livers in a dream, they represent knowledge, money or children. If a man of knowledge sees his livers flying away from
his body like birds in a dream, it means that he will forget his knowledge, or if
one has children, they may die, or perhaps the government may seize his
property even if he has nothing. If one sees himself eating his own livers in a
dream, it means earning his livelihood. If they are cooked in the dream, then
they represent a lawful income, or they could mean gobbling the property of
one's own children. Ifa liver is removed in a dream, it means the death of a child.
Removing a liver in a dream also could mean injustice. One's kidney in a dream

three of them represent one's relationship with his wife. As for the ribs (See Ribs)
in a dream, they represent women. The loins or the spinal column in a dream
represent one's progeny. One's back in a dream (See Back) represents his strength,

his sins. If he carries merchandise in the dream, it means debt. If he carries
woods in the dream, it means backbiting others. If one sees himself carrying a
dead person on his back in a dream, it means that he takes care of orphans. As
for one's heart (See Heart) in a dream, it means intelligence, vigilance, aware-
ness, guidance, clarity and piety. One's buttocks and the rear end in a dream
represent his earnings, job and profits. If one sees himself licking someone's rear
end or buttocks in the dream, it means giving high praises to an unworthy and
an impious person or commending him. The male and female sexual organs
in a dream represent a good father or one's profession. What comes or goes into
the male organ or woman's vagina in a dream of good or bad will reflect in their
lives. Seeing one's penis in a dream means children, money, pride, state, or
authority. The testicles represent one's livelihood, one's daughters, protection
and maintenance. The meaning of the penis and the testicles may be transposed
in the dream interpretation. One's anus in a dream means a pouch, a store, a
resting place, or a coffer. The knee represents one's capital or one's attendance
to his work and earning his livelihood. As for the legs, they too represent one's
capital, paying attention to one's work and conduct. Man's leg represents a
woman, and a woman's leg represents a man. If one's leg turns into wood or iron in a dream, it means that he will fail to earn his livelihood.
One's feet represent his parents, his livelihood, a journey or his wealth. (See Feet; Foot).
If one foot is broken or cut off in a dream, it means either the death of a parent or loss of half of one's capital. If one's feet turn into iron or copper in a dream, it means
longevity. If they turn into glass in the dream, they denote his short life. The

bunds in a dream means longevity. A cummerbund in a dream also represents
one’s son or it could denote a bigman. If a ruler offers a cummerbund to someone
in a dream, it means that he is appointing him to a high ranking position.

receive the help of a great and a noble person, including moral and financial
support. If one is rich, then it means that he will have a great friend to support
him and whose inner thoughts and intentions are better than what one may
think. If a poor person ties a cummerbund around his waist in a dream, it means
extra earnings or power. If the cummerbund is studded and adorned with jewels
in the dream, then such jewels represent one’s helpers, supporters or obedient

or evil. Somehow, such a leader will also be unjust and hypocritical. If the
ornaments are made of iron in the dream, it means that his associates are a
group of strong people. If the ornaments are made from copper, then such
associates care only for worldly gains. If the ornaments are made from led in the
dream, it means that they are weak people. If the ornaments are made from
silver in the dream, it means that the master or leader is a wealthy person and
he will be followed by a strong son who will carry the work of his father. If one
is given a cummerbund, and if he does not wear it in the dream, then it means
travels. A broken cummerbund in a dream means loss of power or perhaps one’s
death. If one sees a snake rather than a cummerbund around his waist in a
dream, it represents a money belt. A cummerbund in a dream also means work
for a jobless person, a wife for an unmarried person, and should it be carrying
many ornaments, then it means the added blessing of having several children.

(Flour; Moving around in a circle) In a dream, a miller represents a selfish
person who is particularly interested in acquiring worldly gains and at what¬
ever price it may cost. If one sees an old man being a miller in a dream, the old

King
(God Almighty; Governor; Mayor; President; Royalty; Sultan) The true King
is God Almighty. If the king is pleased with someone in a dream, it means that
God Almighty is pleased with him, and if the king is angry with him in the
dream, it means that God Almighty is displeased with him. If one sees the king
frowning in a dream, it means that he fails to properly perform his prayers or
show true religious devotion. If one sees him smiling in a dream, it means profits
in one’s material as well as spiritual life. If one sees that God Almighty has
appointed him as a king over a land, it means that he will receive such a regency,
should he qualify. Later on, unrest will bring tyrants, or dictators to justice,
while people of knowledge and piety will survive and regain their authority. If
one sees himself as a calif or as an Imam in a dream and should he qualify, it
means that he will receive such an honor, rank, trust and fame in the land,
though his vice-regency will not become hereditary. However, it is a bad omen
if he becomes a calif in the dream and does not qualify for such an appointment.
In such a case, and by contrast, he will be humiliated and dispersed, and his own
helpers will become his superiors, while his enemies will rejoice at his misfortune.
If one sees himself as a king in a dream, though in reality he does not qualify,
it means that he may die quickly, and the same is true if a sick person sees
himself turned into a king. If he is healthy, it means that someone in his family
may die shortly. Seeing a king in a dream also denotes exposing hidden secrets.
If a philosopher or a fortuneteller sees himself transformed into a king in a
dream, then it denotes glad tidings should he not complain about it in his dream.
If a slave sees himself becoming a king in a dream, it means that he will be set
free. If one sees himself becoming one of the great kings of this world in a dream,
it means that he will attain worldly success in his life, though it will be
accompanied with religious failure. If the person is a natural con artist, it means
that he will be captured and imprisoned. If a man sees himself awarded a
knighthood that is suitable only for woman, then it means his death. If one sees
the kingreprimandinghim in a dream, it means peace between them. If one sees
himself arguing a case with knowledge and wisdom before a king in a dream,
it means that he will win his case and receive what he came for. If one sees
himself complaisant with the king about his case in the dream, it means that
he will lose his case and the judgment will go the king’s way. If one sees himself
walking with a king and rubbing shoulders with him in the dream, it means that
he will oppose the king or disobey him. If he sees himself following the king in
a dream, it means that he will pursue the king’s traditions during his lifetime
or after his death. If one enters the king’s palace prostrating in a dream, it means
that he will be appointed in a leadership position and receive the king’s pardon.
If one sees himself mixing with the king’s harem, or sleeping with them and
should there be signs of comfort, trueness, or wisdom in his act in the dream,
it means that he will enter the king’s inner circles. Otherwise, should he in the
dream fear the consequences of what is happening, or if he lacks trueness, or
