falsehood or slander. Hearing the sound of thunder in a dream also means being

dreams, if the sound of thunder is heard on the twenty first day of April, it means

first of April happens to be a Sunday, then March will be a month of great fear
and disturbances in the East, meanwhile, a conflict between the Western armies
will end by the death of a Western leader and the defeat of his army. If the dream
is seen on the eleventh day of April, it may mean that earthquakes or cyclones
will devastate many countries. If the dream takes place on the thirteenth day
of April, then it means that inflation will strike and price hiking will burden the
common people. If the dream is seen on the seventeenth day of April, it purports
a major political dispute between the leaders of the world, and if it is seen on
the twenty second day of April, it means that a disastrous evil will contaminate
many societies. If the dream takes place on the twenty third day of the month
of April, it means abundance, falling prices, fertility in the lands, while if it is

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.
If the sound of thunder is heard during the month of August in a dream, it
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

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

Rising of the dead; Trumpet of Resurrection) Seeing the Day of Resurrection,
or Doomsday in a dream is a serious warning for a sinner, or it could represent
a warning for someone who is contemplating a sinful act. Seeing the Day of
Resurrection in a dream also denotes justice. Beingthe only person resurrected
on such a day means one’s death. Standing up awaiting one’s judgement on the
Day of Resurrection in a dream means travels. If one sees himself and his wife
being the only people who are brought for judgement of the grand Day of
Gathering in a dream, it means that he is being unjust. If a warrior sees the Day
of Resurrection in a dream, it means that by God’s decree, the aggressor shall
be defeated. The land of the grand gathering in a dream represents a chaste
woman or a noble man. The blowing of the Trumpet of Resurrection in a dream
represents the salvation of the righteous ones. Seeing any of the great ex¬
traordinary events or signs that shall precede the Day of resurrection in a dream
means glad tidings for a believer who does good, and a warning for a disbeliever
to correct himself and repent for his sins before its coming. Seeing the Day of
Resurrection in a dream also denotes that some of the major signs are actually
taking place, such as blood shedding, spread of evil, belligerence of atheism,
pride about wealth, ruling of the working class, building high rises, the end of
the era of kings on earth, or it could remind the person of the prophesied signs,
such as the rising of the sun from the West, the emergence of a beast that will
speak with a human tongue, the rising of the Imposter (arb. Dajjal. Antichrist),
etcetera. Seeing the Day of Resurrection in a dream also represents the spread
of evil, the presence of an extended police force, and the ruling of large armies
and dictatorships around the world. Thus, seeing the Day of Resurrection in a
dream is a reminder and a warning to the one who sees it. If one sees the graves
splitting open, dead people resurrected back to life and are walking out of them
accompanied with their angels in a dream, it means that justice will prevail in
that land. If one experiences the resurrection in a dream, then discovers that
the world went back to continue its prior course , it means that justice will
dominate that land for a while, then it will be followed by a tyranny that will
be carried by people who are not even suspected to be of such character. Such
a dream also could be interpreted to suit a person who is seeking the impossible,
or one who is adamant at pursuing the path of wrongdoing, falsehood and lies.
Recognizing the eminent final signs of the Day of Reckoning in a dream means
that one is unaware of his heedlessness and such dream constitutes a warning.
If one’s reckoning is easy in a dream, it denotes his wife’s piety, compassion and
love for him. If one’s reckoning is detailed and painful in a dream, then it
represents major losses. If one’s good deeds weigh heavier than his bad deeds
in the dream, it means that his devotion is true and that his reward will be
greater. If one sees himself carrying the scale to weigh his own deeds in a dream,
it denotes his righteousness and correctness. If one sees an angel handing him
his records and telling him to read his own book in the dream, it also means that
he is on the right path. Walking on the bridge of the Day of Judgment, carrying
one’s own records and crying in a dream means that one is praying for God’s
forgiveness and to ease his reckoning. If one sees the Doomsday in a dream, it
means that he will escape from dangerous enemies, or that perhaps a major trial
will befall the dwellers of that place. If one crosses the Bridge of Judgement in
a dream, it means that he will escape a major trial, or perhaps it could represent
a major hurdle one may have to cross in this life. If one sees himself carrying
his book of records in his right hand in a dream, it means that he will win
righteousness, wealth and honor. If one sees himself carrying his book of records
in his left hand in a dream, it means that he will fall into sin and the consequent
poverty and need of others, for wealth and adultery do not mix. If one witnesses
the emergence of the Imposter ( Antichrist ) in a dream, it signifies new trends,
innovations and masses straying from the straight path. (Also see Intercession;
Reckoning; Rising of the dead; Trumpet of Resurrection)

Carrier
(Driver; Mail carrier; Messenger; Renter) In a dream, a carrier means that

Flint stone
(Fire stone; Hard; Siliceous rock; Steel) In a dream, a flint stone means
searching for something that could bring profits or hoping for something to
happen, and both will take place. If one sees himself striking a flint stone with
a piece of steel to produce fire for cooking or for light, and if he sees the sparks
coming from them in a dream, it means that he will take advantage of his
friendship with someone in authority who is rock hearted to help him overcome
his poverty and to make his life more manageable. The flint stone in a dream
also represents the rock hearted man, and the steel represents his might. On
the other hand, if one strikes a flint stone with a piece of steel and produces
sparks from them in his dream, it means that he will witness an awesome fight
between two rock hearted and cruel people. Striking a flint stone in a dream also
means marriage of an unwed person. If a woman sees herself striking a flint
stone with a piece of steel, and if she can produce sparks in the dream, it means
that she will beget a son. If a spark starts a fire in the dream, it means that one’s
wife will become pregnant or perhaps it could represent a fight between the
husband and the wife, or a fight between two partners. If the sparks burn one’s
gown in the dream, it means that harm will affect that house and such harm will
bring about losses in money, family honor or bodily injury. If the sparks burn
a notebook in the dream, it means deviation from God’s path.

Barber
(Hairdresser) A barber in a dream represents a person who benefits the
meek and the poor, though he harms the rich. A barber, or a sheep shearing
person also represents a corrupt police officer, or a street gang leader who taxes

comfort and benefits for both the man and the animal. (Also see Hairdresser)

Tongue
(Interpreter; Pen; Speech writer; Stinger; Translator) In a dream, one’s
tongue represents his translator or his business manager. One’s tongue in a
dream also represents the chief cause of sin. Moving one’s tongue without
speaking in a dream means committing a sin. Seeing an increase in size, width,
or length of one’s tongue in a dream means strength and overcoming one’s
enemy. If one’s tongue becomes elongated with no cause for dispute or argument
in a dream, it means having a bad tongue, or backbiting others, speaking ill
about others, or using base and despicable language. Having a long tongue in
a dream also could mean clarity in one’s speech and eloquence in one’s expressions.
Having two tongues in a dream means acquiring a second language or a second
trade, using a proof other than one’s own in a court of justice, or winning victory
over one’s enemy. If one finds his tongue tied in a dream, it means stagnation
of his business, or it could mean poverty. If black hair grows over one’s tongue
in a dream, it means a fast coming evil. If gray hair grows over one’s tongue in
a dream, then it means a slow coming adversity. Hair growing over one’s tongue
in a dream also means writing or reciting a poem. One’s tongue in a dream also
represents the perfect alibi, the beauty and eloquence of one’s presentation, a
professional presentation, good fame and good conduct. If a governor’s tongue
is cut off in a dream, it means the death of his interpreter or his speech writer.
The human tongue in a dream also represents his pen and his signing authority.
If one’s tongue becomes long and reaches the skies in a dream, it means that he
will be impeached or deposed from his leadership position following his tyranny
and injustices. If the tongue of a leader or a ruler becomes long in a dream, it
also signifies the expansion of his power and the infallibility and effectiveness
of his commands. One’s tongue in a dream also symbolizes a milk sucklingbaby,
a lion in his den, or an intelligent warrior. Thus, if one lets a lion out of a lair
in a dream, it denotes his tongue, or hurting people’s feeling or reputation with
one’s tongue. If one sees himself without a tongue in a dream, it may mean the
death of an infant. If one has to appear in court and sees his tongue cut off in
a dream, it means that his proof will be rejected by the judge. If only the side
of one’s tongue is cut off in a dream, it means that he has doubts about the
testimony of his witness. If he is a merchant, it means that he will lose an
important business deal. If he is a student, it means that he will not complete
his schooling. It is also said that when one’s tongue is cut off in a dream, it means
that he is a forbearing person. If the wife’s tongue is cut off in a dream it means
that she is a chaste and a pious woman. If a wife cuts off the tongue of her
husband in a dream, it means that she will flirt with him and show him
tenderness and love. Cutting off the tongue of a poor person in a dream means
giving something to an impudent person to shun off his evil. If a poor person cuts
off the tongue of another poor person in a dream, it means a fight between them.
If one’s tongue sticks to his palate in a dream, it means that he will deny or reject
someone’s right, refute the truth, or lie about a trust he received to keep for a
time. Eating one’s tongue or biting on it in a dream represents an act one will
regret. If a governor sees that in a dream, it means that he swindles people’s
money and receives bribes. Biting on one’s tongue in a dream also means
remaining mostly silent, withholding one’s advice, or controlling one’s fury and
anger. Biting one’s tongue in a dream also could denote gluttony. Cutting off
one’s tongue in a dream means invalidating one’s argument or proof, or
preventing him from asking for anything. The cutting off of a poet’s tongue in
a dream means giving him money for his recitation. Seeing one’s tongue black
in a dream means that one may preside over his own people. If he is a wretched
person, it means that he is a liar. If someone who is scared of something sees
his tongue in a dream, it means that he will lose his battle and become subject
to defamation and humiliation. If a wretched person sees himself having many
tongues in a dream, it means that he will have a large family. Having many
tongues in a dream also means speaking many foreign languages. If one’s tongue
is split in half in a dream, it means that he is a liar. Having many tongues and
of many colors in a dream means telling different and contradictory stories, or
it could represent a music writer. If people touch one’s tongue or suck it in a
dream, it means that they are acquiring his knowledge. It also represents people
toadying or lobbying in official business. One's tongue in a dream also repre¬
sents a hidden treasure, a hidden knowledge, a toadying servant, an employee,
one’s house, a vehicle, a skilled enemy, a seedling of a fruit bearing tree, a bad
wife, a barren woman, one’s spoken and irretrievable words, earnings, collecting
garbage, following someone’s traces, a policeman, or a prisoner. An animal’s
tongue in a dream represents one’s life or death, because for an animal, his
tongue is like a hand through which he takes things. If a scholar’s tongue is cut
off in a dream, it means that he will lose his argument, or it could mean the death
of his assistant, student or son. Losing one’s tongue in a dream represents the
malicious joy of one’s enemy, family, or neighbors for one’s losses, or it could
mean the death of a beloved, severing a relationship, or a plant disease that will
affect one’s fruit bearing trees. Perhaps losing one’s tongue in a dream could
mean separation between husband and wife, divorce, losing one’s job, or moving
to a new town. Having two tongues in a dream also means backbiting others,
or having two faces with people, for people say that so-and so has two tongues
or two faces. If the second tongue does not impede the person from speaking in
the dream, then it denotes his truthfulness, love and affection toward others.
One’s tongue in a dream also may represent something one fears, such as the
collapsing of a roof over his head, or it could represent an enemy. It also means
isolating oneself from people of knowledge and wisdom, or it could mean
remaining mostly silent, minding one’s own business, or offering devotion and
being grateful to God Almighty for His gifts and blessings. One’s tongue in a
dream also represents a captured prisoner of war, or a snake hiding in its pit.
Looking at one’s tongue in a dream means controlling what comes out of it. (Also

Grass
(Lawn) In a dream, grass represents religious awareness and blessings. If
one sees grass growing in the palm of his hand in a dream, it means that he will
discover his wife having a secret affair, and he will find her in the company of
someone else. If one sees grass growing over his hand in a dream, it means that
he will die shortly and grass will grow over his grave. If he sees grass growing
in a place where it is not supposed to grow, such as inside one’s house or inside
a mosque in a dream, it means a wedding. If one sees grass growing all over him
but does not cover his ears or eyes in a dream, it means prosperity. If he sees
grass growing on people’s hands or floating on water in a dream, it means a good
harvest and prosperity for everyone. If weeds grow at the same time in the
dream, they connote negative effects. If a sick person sees such a dream, it
means that he is nearinghis death. Grass growingover one’s stomach in a dream
means his death or his burial after death. If grass grows all over one’s body but
does not cover his head in the dream, it means prosperity and wealth. If the grass
covers one’s eyes and ears in the dream, it means that he will become heedless
and loses the advantages of his religious life. The same interpretation is given
if one sees feathers growing over his body. If poisonous weeds grow over one’s
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
that he will revert to desiring the world and its pleasures, and consequently, he
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
Meadows; Weeds)

Food
(Man’s food; Dinner; Digesting food; Invitation; Lunch) Food which is placed
on a ceramic plate or on a clay plate in a dream represents lawful earnings. If
food is served on a forbidden golden or silver platter in the dream, it represents
unlawful money, extensive debts, eating and chewing one’s food with desire and
gluttony. Swallowing what one is chewing means debts or collectors demanding
their money. Eating with the right hand in a dream means success. Eating with
the left hand in a dream means falling in the trap of one’s enemy and displeasing
one’s friends. Eating from someone else’s hand in a dream means good absti¬
nence and trusting in God Almighty as one’s sole sustainer. Eating from
someone else’s hand in a dream also can be interpreted as a sickness or inability
to eat with one’s own hand. Eating sweets in a dream means solving a problem
through kindness. If the food is greasy in the dream, it means that one’s problem
is a lasting one. Sour food in a dream means steadfastness. Sour food in one’s
mouth in a dream also means pain and sufferings. Yellow food in a dream means
sickness, except for fowl’s meat. Drinking food the way one drinks liquids in a
dream means increase in one’s earnings. Eating at a wedding in a dream means
glad tidings. Eating at a reception after a funeral in a dream means distress and
sorrow. Any food that has a long shelf life in a dream means profits and
continuous benefits. Meat, eggplant, squash or the like food in a dream represent
temporary benefit or seasonal earnings. Eating at the tables of royalties or rich
people in a dream means rising in rank, or renewing the mandate of one’s office.
Eating squash in a dream also means guidance, following the true religious
precepts, or it could mean vigilance. Eating food from the table of people of
knowledge in a dream means acquiring knowledge, guidance, wisdom and
blessings. Eating food from the plate of a policeman or a soldier in a dream
means committing adultery or receiving money from an unlawful source. Eating
the food of poor people or pious ones in a dream means repentance from sin or
receiving guidance. Eating the food of nomads or bedouins in a dream means
travels, rising in station or changes in one’s conditions. Eating a meal that is
cooked with meat in a dream means richness for a poor person. Eating a meal
that is cooked without meat in a dream also may mean poverty, or it could mean
devotion. If one’s meal turns into something better in the dream, it me ans
advancement in one’s spiritual life. If one’s food turns bitter or sour in the
dream, it means changing a spouse or a job. If one cookes a tasty meal in a dream,
it means attaining a high ranking job, or it could mean prospering after
suffering from a painful poverty. If someone else cooks one’s meal in the dream,
it means dealing with a treachrous person and in this case, it means that one
should fear for his life or about doing business with him, or it could mean that
he may receive a helping hand in doing his job. If one eats an unbearably hot
food in a dream, it means adversities. If one finds his mouth filled with food, and
if there is still a cavity for more food in the dream, it means confusion, or it could
represent the balance of his life in this world. If one manages to grind and
swallow the food in his mouth in a dream, it means that he will overcome his
difficulties. Receiving a sour or a bitter tasting food from someone in a dream
means hearing harsh words, and the same interpretation is given if one offers
someone sour or bitter food in a dream. If he eats it, then it means sorrow,
sadness and distress. If one finds himself eating it patiently and thanks God
Almighty for it in the dream, it means that he will escape from such dangers.

dream signifies that the person is a zendik or an atheist. Pennies in a dream
signify evil, fights and speaking despicable words. If God’s name is encrusted
on the penny in the dream, it means that such a person who carries it has
licensed himself to do evil in the name of God Almighty. Seeing a cent in a dream
also could signify cheating, toiling, fights, boredom, atheism, sorrow, sadness,
tight circumstances, an argument, meager earnings, dispelling poverty, going

Physician
(Mother) A physician in a dream represents a wise man, or a religious
doctor. A physician in a dream also represents a scholar, and a scholar in a
dream represents a physician. If one sees a physician examining him in a dream,
it means an improvement in his health condition. If one sees a religious scholar
advising him in a dream, it means that hypocrisy and doubt will be dispelled
from his heart. A physician in a dream also represents one’s mother, or he could
be an opponent, or an adversary. The death of one’s physician in a dream means
the death of one’s mother. If a sick person sees a physician visiting him in a
dream, it means that he will recover from his illness. If a physician visits a
healthy person in a dream and write a prescription for him, it means that he will
fall sick. Seeing or visiting a physician in a dream means exposing one’s secrets,
for a physician works to extract the patient’s illness just like a snake charmer
who brings a snake out of its hiding. A physician in a dream also represents a
garbage collector, a street cleaner, a spy, a backbiter, or a fighter who sometime
wins and sometime loses. To see oneself as a physician in a dream means
attaining a high ranking position, or becoming a policeman, or a commander
who controls people’s livelihood. A physician in a dream also represents some¬
one who provides spiritual as well as practical guidance, a social reformer, a
judge, a preacher, a teacher, a tanner, or a copper. If one sees a just and a well
known judge as a physician in a dream, it means that his compassion and
welfare will encompass everyone in that locality. If one sees a known physician
as a judge or a wise man in a dream, it means that one will become renowned,
his status will rise and he will become a celebrated pioneer in his field. If he is
not known to be a righteous physician, then it means that one will be visited with
adversities, or it could mean that someone will die from malpractice, or it could
mean persevering with daring attempts do increase one’s business at the
expense of people’s lives. If one sees a physician selling coffins or folded shrouds
in a dream, one should be suspicious of him in wakefulness even if people are
fascinated by his charm. If one sees a physician working as a tanner in a dream,
it shows the physicians ingenuity, knowledge of his trade and the many people
who recover from their illness at his hand. The exception to that is when the tan
is spoiled, or if it has a stench, or if it is ineffective in the dream, then it means
that such a physician is a crafty swagger.

Twisting a rope
(Splice; Entwine; Twine) To splice a rope or a thread, or to twist
a rope around oneself, or to whorl it around a spindle, or to make a bobbin in
a dream means undertaking a journey. If it comes out thin in the dream, then
the outcome of one’s journey is meager. If the rope comes out thick and strong
in the dream, it means that the outcome of one’s journey is beneficial. If the
twisting of the rope or the thread is easy in the dream, it means that one’s
endeavor is free from constraint. If one sees himself plucking the hair of his
beard and twisting it like a rope in a dream, it means that he will receive a bribe
to make a false testimony in court. Twisting a rope or a thread in a dream also
could mean signing a contract, establishing a partnership in a business, or

Malik
(The archangel Malik; The guardian of hell-fire) Seeing the archangel Malik
in a dream means standing before a policeman or a police commissioner for
questioning. If he smiles in the dream, it means that one will be saved from
imprisonment. If a sick person sees such a dream, it means that he may die
shortly. If one becomes the archangel Malik, or eats something sweet from his
hand in a dream, it denotes that one is a true follower on the path of God
Almighty and His Prophet, upon whom be peace. It also means that one loves
his brethren on the path. It also means that one will be honored, gain power,
abstain from sin or from any act of disobeying God’s commands, and he will
become free from hypocrisy and heedlessness. It also could mean that one is
guided and that he loves God’s religion. Eating something that is given by Malik
in a dream also means abstinence and repentance from sin, or it could mean
submitting to guidance after having gone astray. If one sees the archangel Malik
walking toward him in a dream, it means peace and safety from hell-fire. It also
means salvation and restoration of one’s faith. However, if he sees the archangel
Malik walking away from him and showing displeasure in the dream, it means
that one will commit an act that will deliver him into the blaze of hell-fire. (Also
see Hell-fire)

Heavens
(The eight heavens; Firmament; Planets; Skies) If one sees himself
dwelling in the lower heaven, and if he qualifies, it means that he will be
appointed at a ministerial office, or work for a minister in the government. This
is because the lower heaven is the sphere of the Moon and the moon is inter¬
preted as a chief minister or as a secretary. The second heaven is the sphere of
the planet Mercury. If one sees himself in the second heaven in a dream, it
means that he will acquire knowledge, diligence and writing style. In turn,
people will seek him to learn from him. The third heaven is the sphere of the
planet Venus. If one sees himself in the third heaven in a dream, it means that
he will prosper, or employ a female servants, or it could mean possessingjewelry
and living in happiness and comforts. The fourth heaven is the sphere of the
Sun. If one sees himself in the fourth heaven in a dream, it means that he will
reach leadership, gain authority and win respect, or that he will serve such
people. The fifth heaven is the sphere of the planet Mars. If one sees himself
in the fifth heaven in a dream, it means that he will preside or leads a police
squadron, a mountain patrol, a small army, a band of thieves, or manage a
brothel. The sixth heaven is the sphere of the planet Jupiter. If one sees himself
in the sixth heaven in a dream, it means that he will acquire deep spiritual
understanding, religious assiduousness, or become a judge, if he qualifies. He
also could become an ascetic, or a true worshiper and he will have strong faith,
good managerial ability, or he could become a treasurer. The seventh heaven is
the sphere of the planet Saturn. If one sees himself in the seventh heaven in
a dream, it means that he may buy a house, a property, a farmland, or it could
mean longevity. If one does not qualify to receive any of the above, then such
award will reach his superiors, or someone in his progeny, or a close friend. If
one sees himself standing beyond the seventh heaven in a dream, it means
exaltation, though his new station will be the direct cause of his death. (Also see

Jihad: (Inner and outer struggle) Joiningthe warriors in the battlefield in a dream
means that one is a true worshiper who attends to his regular prayers and pays
his charities and due alms. If one sees the people charging toward the battle¬
field, it means that they will receive an endowment of divine forgiveness,
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)
Jinn: (Sing. Jinni) A creation from a smokeless fire. Among the Jinn, some are
believers while others are satans. This is in contrast to human beings who are
created from earth and among them some are believers and others are human
satans. Jinn in a dream represent fraud, deceit, cunning, perfidy, treachery,
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
fear in the wilderness. (Also see Dragon; Pumpkin)

Hair
In a dream, hair represents money and longevity. If a rich person ties a
strand of hair to a bun of his own in a dream, it means increase of his wealth
and growth of his business based on a business loan or a mortgage. If a poor
person sees that in a dream, it means that he will borrow money to pay for his
debts and still borrow more money to pay for his daily expenses. If one sees his
straight hair frizzed or curled in a dream, it means that he will be honored, and
if he sees his frizzed hair straight in a dream, it means that he will suffer from
humiliation or lose his rank. If one with a straight and lanky hair sees it longer
than usual in a dream, it means that money belonging to someone for whom he
works will be distributed, wasted, or lost. If one’s hair is soft and lanky but still
looks longer than usual in a dream, it means that his manager’s authority will
expand, and his interests will diversify. If a strong man or a warrior sees himself
having a bun of hair in a dream, it means protection and respect inspired by a
strong personality. Otherwise, if he is rich in the dream, a bun here means more
wealth, and if he is a poor, it represents his debts. If one’s hair looks curly in
a dream, it means that power, honor and praises will be the lot of his superior.
If a woman sees her hair straight in a dream, it denotes benefits and particularly
if she uses a hair pieces or a wig as part of her makeup. Women receive benefits
from braiding their hair in a dream and it means saving money or investing it.
Otherwise, if a poor person, or a blind person braids his or her hair in a dream,

dream, it means that he will deceive and conquer a deceiver and an evil person.
In a dream, the accursed Satan also represents an enemy of the body and the
