Loss
(Business) If one’s losses relate to his earnings, then his losses in the dream
mean decadence of one’s principals, religious downswing, or they could mean

horror, a scare, a shock or a menace. Complaining about a harm one suffers, a
damage or a loss in a dream means attaining one’s goal. (Also see Penny)

Friday
( arb. Jumua, the sixth day of the week.) Recognizing Friday, the sixth day
of the week in which the believers gather for their congregational prayers in a
dream means receiving God’s blessings, recuperating a lost property, receiving
compensation for one’s losses, and changes in his financial conditions from
tightness to ease. If one sees people gathered to pray the congregational Friday
prayers at the grand mosque while he is still in his house or shop, and if he hears
the call and segments of their prayers, or if he suspects people to be leaving the
mosque to return to their homes in the dream, it means loss of his status in that
town. If one joins the congregational prayers in the dream, it means that he will
receive protection and honor in that town. If one thinks it is Friday in his dream,
then the meaning will be more pejorative than laudatory. Joining the congre¬
gational Friday prayers in a dream also may connote a pleasant journey with
anticipation of a financial reward one may receive. Joining the Friday con¬
gregational prayers in a dream is a sign of joy and living to join one of the two
festive congregational prayers of the end of Ramadan or that of the pilgrimage
season. The Friday congregational prayers in a dream also represents the
pilgrimage of the poor people, or satisfying one’s debts. It also means anticipating
a relaxed financial conditions, or meeting with an old friend or a beloved after
a long separation. (Also see Pilgrimage; Preachr)

Minbar
( arb. Pulpit; Sermon) A pulpit in a dream represents the Imam, the
spiritual guide and commander of all the Muslims who also represents God’s
Messenger (uwbp) on earth. A minbar in a dream also represents a blessed abode
in the hereafter, and an exalted station through which God’s Name is glorified.
Standing one a pulpit and delivering a poised sermon in a dream means
attaining an honorable station. If one does not qualify for such a position, then
it means that he will acquire good fame. If a ruler or a governor is forced to come
down from the pulpit in a dream, it means loss of his status, or it could mean
his death. If one is seen standing on a pulpit and if he does not speak or deliver
a sermon, or if what he says denotes evil in the dream, it means that he will be
unjustly executed, or it could mean that God Almighty will protect him against
such injustice. The pulpit in a dream also means rulership and subduing one’s
enemy. Rising on a pulpit in a dream also could mean a betrothal or proposing
a marriage. Otherwise, it could mean a scandal. If a ruler stands on a pulpit in
a dream, it represents the continuity of his reign. Standing on a pulpit with one’s
hands tied in a dream means carrying out an execution which is brought about
by one’s own crimes.

plant in a dream means recovering from an illness and enjoying a good health
for that year. Planting a marjoram in a dream means begetting a healthy and
a beautiful child who will grow to possess a good character. Marjoram in a
dream also could mean marriage, or something that will not last. (Also see Mint)
Marketplace: Going to the marketplace in a dream means seeking knowledge, or
looking for work. A marketplace in a dream also represents a mosque, or
winning a war. In fact, the merchants and the customers bargain with one
another, some win and some lose. If a knowledge seeking student sees himself
in a marketplace that he does not recognize, then if he walks away from it in
the dream, it means that he will cease schooling or interrupt his studies and
fail to acquire his degree, or it could mean that he has missed his Friday
congregational prayers. It also could mean that the knowledge he is seeking is
not intended to please God Almighty. If one sees himself shoplifting in a dream,
it means that he steals, or holds contempt and conceit in his heart, or if he is
a man of knowledge, it means that he will foster falsehood or become affected.
If one sees a common marketplace on fire, or filled with people, or with a stream
of fresh water running in the middle of it, or if it is fragrant with perfumes in
the dream, then it represents good business for everyone and increase in their
profits, though hypocrisy will later on spread among the people. Otherwise, if
one finds the shops closed, the merchants drowsing and spiders webs spreading
in every corner and covering the merchandise in the dream, it means stagnation
of business or suffering major losses. Seeing the marketplace in a dream is also
interpreted to represent the world. Whatever affects it will show in people’s
lives, in their mosques, churches, or temples including their profits, losses,
clothing, recovering from illness, lies, stress, sorrows or adversities. If the
market is quiet in the dream, then it represents the laziness of its salespeople.

conceal one’s face; Attire; Cap; Garb; Mantle; Mantilla; Veil) In a dream, a
khimar represents a husband, protection or an ornament. The extent of its size

companions that might cause difficulties, or separate between a husband and
a wife. If the khimar is made of black torn fabric in the dream, it means poverty
of one’s husband, or his being natural, or unsophisticated. Damage to one’s veil
in a dream means difficulties affecting one’s marriage, loss of business or a
calamity caused by a guardian, a father or a brother. If a man sees himself
wearing a mask in a dream, it means that he will commit adultery with his
servant. If a woman sees herself removing her veil in public in a dream, it means
that she will be tried with a calamity that will take away her sense of shame.
If she loses her khimar in the dream, it means that she may lose her husband.
If she finds it again in the dream, it means that her husband will return to her.
In a dream, a khimar also represents one’s religion. (Also see Veil; Yashmak)

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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,

distress. If a thorn or a chip of wooden enters under one's fingernails in a dream,

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
means having a good business connection, dispelling adversities, distress,

a child, unlawful money, intercession, hatred, livelihood, work or they could
mean changing one's mind about doing something which could cause a disaster.
One's stomach in a dream represents longevity, livelihood or children. A

interpretation is given to the intestines or the umbilicus or the navel and the
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,
wealth, glory, fame, master, destruction, end, poverty, old age and burdens. If

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
human bones represent his livelihood, religion, glory or money. Collecting
bones in a dream means saving money. The bone marrow in a dream repre-
sents hidden money, good awareness, patience and gratitude. The veins and
nerves in a dream represent one's clan, modesty and progeny. As for seeing the

Disappearing
(Absence; Becoming unknown; Loss of tracks) If one disappears
from his house or from the country, and if his tracks could not be located in the
dream, it means taking a long journey, turning out to be where he is suspected
to be, getting married in that place, falling in love with an unknown person,
falling sick in a foreign land, or it could mean death if the person is sick. However
the disappearance of God’s loving people in a dream perhaps means thinking
about one’s beloved, or being exposed to uncommon mysteries of the universe.
If one disappears within the earth without going through a hole in his dream,
and if he remains a long time therein until people think that he will never come
out again in the dream, it means self-deception, arrogance and love for the
world, and such a person will die in that pursuit as a consequence of adventuring
with his own life. (Also see Evanescence)

Sexual intercourse
(Adultery; Coitus; Fornication; Hugging; Instinct; Lesbian;
Molesting; Sexual drive; Sleeping together, Sodomy; Tribadism) If a man sees
himself having sexual intercourse with another man in a dream, it means that
both of them have lost their moral dedication, that have become aimless, turned
stingy toward their own dependents and generous toward others. It also means
loss of one’s capital, or divorcing one’s wife. If a poor person sees such a dream,
it means that he will fall sick, or attract an incurable disease. To have sexual
intercourse with a male in a dream also means falling into sin, committing the
unlawful, or engaging in sexual intercourse with a female member of one’s own
family, a blood relation, or a consanguineous person whom one is forbidden to
marry. Molesting a child in a dream means suffering from a great affliction.
Fornication with a young servant in a dream means suffering from continuous
stress and a lasting depression. Sleeping with a beautiful woman one recognizes
in his dream means profits. Sleeping with an ugly looking old woman in a dream
means the opposite. Having sexual intercourse with an unknown woman in a
dream represents the type of interactions and dealings one fosters with people
in general. Accordingly, and depending on the condition of the woman one is
sleeping with in a dream, one’s actions will substantiate. Sleeping with someone’s
wife in a dream means engaging in a profitable business with the husband. If
a sick person sees himself having sexual intercourse with his mother in a dream,
it means his death, for the mother here represent the earth. If a woman sees
herself engaging in tribadism, or a lesbian relationship with another woman she
knows in a dream, it means that she will confide her personal life to her, or
divulge all her secrets, become her intimate friend or a fan, shares opinions with
her and emulate her actions and look in public. If she does not know that woman
in the dream, it means that she will indulge in sin. If a married woman sees
herself engaging in tribadism with another woman in a dream, it means that
she will separate from her husband or become a widow. Engaging in sexual
intercourse with a deceased person, be it a man or a woman in a dream means
one’s own death, unless if one is travelling, then it could mean visiting that
country where the deceased person is buried. Any sexual intercourse in a dream
that culminates in ejecting semen and necessitates a complete ritual ablution
in wakefulness represents disturbed dreams, or engaging in a forbidden sexual
intercourse from the anus, or it could represent wet dreams. Having sexual
intercourse in a dream also signifies paying one’s debts, or it could mean relief
from pressures. Having sexual intercourse with a prostitute in a dream means
love for the world, or it could mean profits. Having sexual intercourse with one’s

Bellows
(Air blower; Blacksmith) If a bellows is made from wood in one’s dream,
it means loss of dignity, demotion or loss of property. Owning a bellows in a
dream means acquiring vast control and sovereignty if one qualifies for that.
Otherwise, a bellows in a dream means benefits and blessings. Seeing a bellows
blowing fire in a dream means completing a project, satisfying a need, reaching
one’s goal or earning money. If the bellows are not in use, or if they are not
blowing air into the fire, then they signify distress, adversities and trouble.
Seeing bellows that are used by a goldsmith or a silversmith in a dream means
sincerity in one’s faith, certitude and devoting one’s life to worshipping God
Almighty. Seeing bellows that are used in blowing glass in a dream signify deceit
and cunningness. Bellows in a dream also represent a woman who conceive
children easily, then quickly has miscarriages. Bellows in a dream also repre¬
sent a hot tempered man, a prison, a police station, or a torture dungeon. Seeing
bellows in use by a blacksmith in a dream means easing of one’s trouble. (Also

Intoxicants
(Alcohol; Beer; Brewery; Cocaine; Drugs; Hashish; Injection; Inebriant;
Marijuana; Opium; Sedatives; Spirits; Wine) In a dream, all intoxicants signify
suspicions, apprehension and doubt about one’s resources, or the lawfulness of
his earnings, the legitimacy of his children, or the religious legality of his
marriage. Drinking alcohol in a dream means losing a fight. Using drugs or
intoxicants in a contemptible way in a dream signifies apostasy, loss of honor,
negation of the truth, corruption of one’s wife, or it could mean profanity. This
is because the raw material and herbs used in the preparation of such drugs and
herbs are sacred in their intrinsic state. Once mixed and taken to induce
inebriety in a dream, they will produce the reverse effects. (Also see Drunk¬
enness; Marijuana)

prayers and charitable nature. It also could mean benefits from a business trip

or scratches means receiving a new garment, paying debts, or hearing sarcastic

Tomcat
(Book of records; Cat; Reckoning; Siamese cat; Thief) In a dream, a tomcat
means a thief or a servant. A cat in a dream also represents an evil and a
treacherous woman. The same interpretation is given for anyone who compasses
people, or guards them, or someone who harms the interests of his employer
more than he benefits him. If a tomcat scratches someone or bites him in a
dream, it means that he will fall sick for a full year. The bite of a wildcat in a
dream is more dangerous and has greater implications. If one sees a tomcat
sitting peacefully and quietly in his house in a dream, it means that he will have
a comfortable, peaceful and a profitable year. Otherwise, a large wildcat in the
dream represents a troublesome year. Selling a tomcat in a dream means
spending one’s money in various charities. Eating a cat in a dream means
learning about sorcery. If one sees himself transformed into a tomcat in a dream,

a tomcat in a dream means catching a thief or killing him. If one extracts fat from
a cat in a dream, it means that he will receive stolen money or a share thereof.
Fighting with a tomcat in a dream means an affliction with a long and a
debilitating illness that will be followed by a complete recovery. If the tomcat
loses the fight, and if the man is already sick, it means that he will recover from
his illness shortly thereafter. Otherwise, if he loses in the dream, it means that
his illness has reached its peak. A cat or a tomcat in a dream also represent
reckoning, estrangement of one’s wife, her roughness with her husband, or they
could represent ill behaved children with their parents, fights, theft, adultery,
lack of loyalty, eavesdropping, taunting, roaring, clamor, a bastard son, a
foundling or an orphan. On the other hand, a cat in a dream could represent a
toadying person, dancing, being playful and kind, though awaiting to jump at
the first opportunity to spoil others’ peace. If the cat, the tomcat and the mouse,
or the lamb and the wolf become friends in the dream, it means hypocrisy,
affectation and loss of moral standards. A civet cat in a dream represents a man
who may have a suspicious look, though his character and conduct are exem¬

Chest
(Bosom; Heart) If one has a broad and a nice looking chest in a dream, it
means repentance of a sinner or being eager and willing to follow the truth and to comply with it, or it could mean making it easy to accept things that were
difficult to absorb. If a woman sees her beloved inside her chest in a dream, it
means that she is suffering because of him or complaining about him, or if she
is ill, it means that she will recover from her illness. To have a broad chest in
a dream also means giving preference to others' needs. One's chest in a dream
also represents what one may conceal in it of knowledge, guidance, heedlessness
or it could represent a coffer where one hides his money. One's chest in a dream

spendthrift or generous in other than God's pleasure, and the pain in the dream
represents his punishment for it. If a man sees himself having a woman's breasts
in his dream, it means that he will get married, or fall in love with a woman,

Beheading
(Capital punishment; Death; Decapitation) In a dream, beheading
means freedom from slavery or dispelling sorrows and dismay, payment of one’s
debts, or it could mean prospering. If one knows his assailant in the dream, it
means receiving wealth at his hand. If one is sick, it means that he will recover
from his illness, and if he is not sick, it means that he will attend a pilgrimage.
If the assailant is a young boy, then it means comfort, joy and relief from his
burdens through his own death. If a healthy person is beheaded in a dream, it
means the end of his comfort or loss of his job or authority. If one sees the
governor of the town beheading him in a dream, it means that God Almighty will
save him from his sorrows and strengthen him in this life. If one sees a ruler
beheading his subjects in a dream, it means that he will issue a decree of
amnesty for all prisoners. If one is beheaded as a result of a judgment or by
robbers in a dream, it means that either one of his parents or a child of his may
die shortly. If a condemned person on death row sees himself beheaded in a
dream, it means that he will be released from prison and his judgment will be
rectified. If an investor or a money exchanger sees that, then it means loss of
his capital investment. If a traveler is beheaded in a dream, it represents his
safe return home. If rivals see that in a dream, it means loss of their fight. (Also

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)

Transformation
(Changing form) Transformation by substitution in a dream
where one thing is converted into something else. If a withered tree is trans¬
formed into a blossoming one in a dream, it means political changes, changes
in worldly conditions, or reversal of conditions from good to bad, or from bad to
good. This element includes the transformation of inner substances or physical
ones. For example, if sees himself as an old person in a dream, when in real life
he is young, it means progress in his spiritual life and gaining honor. If he is an
old person and sees himself as a young boy in a dream, it means indulging in
wrongdoing. If one sees a known old person regaining his youth, it means that
the material conditions of the person seeing the dream will turn around to one’s
advantage or otherwise, i.e., richness into poverty and vice-versa, or if he is sick,
he will recover from his illness. If one is transformed into a beautiful shoot of
green or a blossoming branch of a tree in a dream, it means that he may die
within a short time. Becoming taller in a dream means longevity, prosperity, or
begetting a son. If one finds himself missing partial mental keenness or physical
abilities or a limb in a dream, it means that he may suffer losses relating to his
worldly interests. If a man sees himself transformed into a woman, and wears
her apparels, ornaments and make-up in a dream, it means that he may suffer
humiliation, adversities and abuse. If a woman sees herself transformed into a
man, or if she grows a beard in a dream, it means that she will reestablish her
connection with a missing child. As a man in the dream, and if she is pregnant,

not pregnant, it means that she is no longer fertile. If one sees himself flying with
wings in a dream, it means travels. If one sees himself transformed into a
wooden staff in a dream, it represents his insolence. If one sees himself
transformed into an iron rod in a dream, it means longevity. If one sees himself
transformed into a bridge in a dream, it means that he may become a ruler, a
wise man, or a man of knowledge whom people will seek to benefit from his
wisdom. If a person sees his sick child turn into a bird in a dream, it means the
death of the child. If one sees himself turned into a beast in a dream, it means
that he will be segregated from the believers to live alone because of his evil
qualities. If one sees himself turned into a deer, a gazelle or an antelope in a
dream, it means that he will become obsessed with his sexual life, or that he will
become mentally deranged to the degree of indulging in bisexual practices. If he
turns into a pig in a dream, it means prosperity surrounded with absence of
human dignity. If one sees a steer transformed into a wolf in a dream, it
represents a government employee who will turn unjust. However, according to
Islamic interpretations of the human transformation into a lower category of
creatures phenomena, if such transformation takes place in real life, it connotes
a curse and a punishment, and it does not last for more than three days, and
it will culminate in death. (Also see Changing form)

Otherwise, it he sees it falling over the whole town in the dream, it means

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

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

also means veiling or protecting one’s personal life and that of others. To dye
the gray hair of one’s beard in a dream means ostentatiousness and adorning
one’s merchandise or deeds to make them look better than reality. Dyeing one’s
hair in a dream also connotes a display of blessings and favors, or it could mean
dictating one’s conditions to his enemy, if the person is in such position.
However, if not, it means difficulties, aggravation, distress, debts or dropping
off one’s ties with those who love him. Interpreting woman’s dyeing of her hair
in a dream is the same as that of a man. To dye one’s gray hair in a dream means
strength, dignity and valor. Applying henna dye to one’s head and not to one’s
beard in a dream means emulating the traditions of God’s Prophet, upon whom
be peace. To dye both the head and the beard in a dream means concealing one’s
poverty, though one will keep asking people to pay him respect or to recognize
him in their circles. If one’s hair accepts the dye in the dream, it means regaining
one’s status, though with less emphasis on his pride, or it could mean that he
will make contentment his new ornament or trim. If one uses a dye other than
what is commonly used, and if it works in the dream, it means that he will be
saved from an adverse condition through miraculous events. If the new dye does
not work in the dream, it means that his true nature will be exposed and he will
have no solutions to protect himself from defamation or public abuse. If he tries
to dyes his hair with dry henna clay, and if his hair still accepts it in the dream,
it means that he is an ignorant person, though he will ultimately repent for his
sins, amend his actions and improve himself. If a woman sees her hands dyed

dream means hardship in making ends meet. If one dips his hand into a laying
corpse in a dream, it means that he will witness a conspiracy. If one sees his
hands dyed in a dream, it also means that he has reached the end of the rope
with his money or business. If one sees his dyed hands wrapped or bandaged in
a dream, it means that he will lose a trial or a fight with his rivals, or that he
will fail to meet such a challenge again. Dyeing only the finger with henna in
a dream represents branches of dates or clusters of grapes. In general, dyeing
one’s hands with henna or one’s hair with regular dye as a makeup in a dream
represents joy for the husband and wife as long as they do not exceed the norms.
Dyeing one’s hands and feet in a dream means redecorating one’s house. If a poor
person sees himself dyeing his hands or hair in a dream, it means that he will

Quran or during other ritual occasions where he is required to have ablution
before proceeding. It could also mean that he cares little about attending his
prayers. As for women, dyeing means happiness, new clothing, receiving gold,
or a wedding celebration. If the dye exceeds the required surface of the hands
or the feet in the dream, it means being struck with fear and worries caused by

black, thus trying to hide his appearance and ignorance.

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)

Reckoning
(Day of Reckoning; Doomsday; Resurrection) Seeing the reckoning of
a deceased person in a dream denotes his sufferings in the hereafter. If a
traveller is asked to account for his travel expenses, and if he is treated with
kindness during the reading of his report in the dream, it means profits from
his journey and a safe return to his homeland. If one reckons himself in a dream,
it means that he will repent for his sins. If one is brought for judgment on the
day of reckoning, and if his questioning is made easy in the dream, it means that
God has blessed him to marry a pious wife who has love and compassion for him,
and who cares about his interests. If his questioning is strict and detailed in the
dream, it means that he will incur losses. If a person sees himself questioned,
probed and investigated in a court by people he does not recognize in the dream,
it means that he has strayed into innovation, and that he will remain accountable
for his actions. If he sees them well dressed and fragrant, congratulating him
and greeting him with the salutation of peace: “As-Salamu Alaikum", then it
is an indication of his righteousness and good deeds. (Also see Intercession; Reading;
Resurrection)

a dream means relief from adversities or change in one’s conditions. Coming

in a dream, it means glad tidings. If it is carried by a servant or a housekeeper,
then it means glad tidings and good news. If a letter is carried by a woman, then

it means that the news she is bringing must be treated carefully. If the woman
is wearing perfume, then one could expect good news and a commendation for
his work. If one sees himself holding a closed book in a dream, it means the end
of his life in this world. If one sees a flyer or a public announcement in display

where he will find happiness again. Carrying a book ora letter in one’s left hand
in a dream means that he has done something bad, or something which he will
regret. Carrying a book in the right hand denotes a prosperous year. If a
stranger takes one’s book away from him in the dream, it means that someone
will take away from him his most precious and endeared thing. Tearing a book
into pieces in a dream means getting rid of one’s trouble or becoming free from
trials or evil encounters and receiving benefits. Holding to a sealed book, decree,
or a letter in a dream also signifies abidingby the rules of one’s superior. Holding
a sealed book in one’s dream also signifies success, leadership and honor. If one
is seeking marriage and sees a sealed book in his hand in a dream, it means that
his betrothal to someone will end in marriage. Seeing or receiving a blank letter
or a book from someone in a dream means absence of his news, or not knowing
where he lives. If one sees a book descending to him from the heavens and if he
thinks in the dream that he understood the contents, then whatever good or bad
news it brings, it will be the same in wakefulness. A book in a dream also
represents one’s companion, or an intimate friend. Seeing a book in a dream also
could signify recovering from an illness. A hardcover book if the content is
unknown represents dishonesty, deceit, a cheap product or selling a sealed
package with undisclosed contents, or it could represent an old woman. Bringing
books into one’s home in a dream signify hearing news about an honest and a
pious person, learning happy stories from a reporter or becoming acquainted

Garden
(Flower garden) A garden in a dream means repentance, and repentance
from sin in a dream means a garden. Watering one’s garden in a dream means
having marital relations. If one sees his garden dry in a dream, it means that
his wife has commenced her menstrual period during which he is not permitted
to have sexual intercourse with her. If he sees someone else watering his garden
in a dream, it means that such a person will betray him with his wife. If one sees
himself entering an unknown garden with its trees unattended and its pasture
unkempt in a dream, it means distress and worries. A garden in a dream also
represents a woman. They both need water and they both bear fruits or children.
In this case, if the garden is interpreted to represent a woman, then its trees and
fruits represent her tribe, family and children. An unknown garden in a dream
also represents the Holy Quran. A garden in a dream also represents a
marketplace, a new bride’s house, a property, an animal domesticated for
service, a shop, a business, a tavern, a bathhouse, generosity, an army made of
slaves, cattle or personal assets. If one sees himself inside a garden in a dream,
it means comfort and growth in his life. If the house to which this garden belongs
is God’s house, then the man seeing it is in paradise. If he is sick, it means that
he will die from his illness and enter that paradise. If the garden is unknown
in the dream, it means martyrdom and particularly if he finds inside the garden
a woman calling him to herself, or to drink milk or honey from the garden’s rivers
and the same is true if the garden does not look like the ones he is accustomed
to see in the world. Otherwise, If one sees himself looking at a garden, and if he
is unmarried, it means that he will meet a suitable woman and get married. If
he is married, it means that he will receive joy from his wife equal to that which
he received from the garden in his dream. If one finds within such a garden a
group of associates or colleagues, the garden then represents a marketplace. If
one sees a servant or a worker of his urinating inside a well or a stream inside
such a garden in the dream, it means that a relative will betray the interests
of the family. A garden whose owner is known in a dream represents a mosque,
a park, people of knowledge, ignorant people, the generous ones or the stingy

a dream, it means glad tidings, money and increase in one’s good deeds,
marriage or children. On the other hand, if he enters a garden in the fall in a
dream, it means defamation, indebtedness, divorce, or it could mean loss of a
child. Seeing a deceased person in a garden means that he is in paradise. A
garden in a dream also represents a source of nourishment. Its fruits are colorful
and their taste ranges from sweet to salty and from sour to bitter. (Also see House
garden; Quran)

in fact she is not pregnant means wealth. If a pregnant woman sees herself

while giving birth to a boy in the dream means distress and worries. If a sick

Slippers
(Glass slippers; Hoof; Protection; Wooden clogs; Wooden slippers.)
Slippers in a dream represent property, protection, a ring, or preventing evil
happening. Wearing a pair of slippers in a dream also means a journey, or
travelling by sea, or it could mean buying a new vehicle. Tight slippers in a
dream means tightness in one’s livelihood, entanglements, or being pursued by
debt collectors. Removing one’s slippers in a dream means putting an end to
one’s strains. Wearing embroidered slippers coupled with a shawl over one’s
shoulders in a dream means increase in one’s wealth and respect. Wearing them
in the winter is more beneficial then wearing them in the summer where they
mean distress. Seeing one’s slippers on fire or if they fall into a well in a dream
may mean the death of one’s wife. In a dream, a pair of new slippers that are
elongated like a boat means tight circumstances and debts. Slippers in a dream
also represent money which is earned from a foreign country or from an import
and export business. If slippers in a dream are interpreted to mean protection,
then losing them in a dream could mean loss of one’s job. If they are interpreted
to mean religion, then losing them in a dream means relief from difficulties, or
an end to one’s trials. Wearing a pair of simple slippers in a dream means taking

worn-out in a dream, it means that one may marry an unwed woman or a widow.
Losing a slipper in a dream means losing half of one’s assets. Finding a pair of
lost slippers in a dream means occupying oneself with worldly business rather
than serving one’s benefits in the hereafter, or it could mean delinquency in

a secret one would rather conceal from others. Walking with glass slippers in

not last, and whoever befriends someone wearing glass slippers in a dream will
suffer from adversities and hardships because of him. (Also see Wooden clogs)

Joseph
(God’s prophet Joseph, upon whom be peace; arb. Yusuf) Seeing God’s
prophet Joseph (uwbp) in a dream means attaining high rank or a vice-regency.
Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also could denote a time of rising prices, drought,
loss of one’s family, or suffering from people’s stratagem, entering a prison, then
be released by God’s grace. It also denotes one’s luck with women and adversities
related to one’s beauty and good character. Seeing God’s prophet Joseph in a
dream also means acquiring knowledge about dream interpretation, or catching
one’s enemy, then forgiving him, or digging a river, a water irrigation, or
transporting dead people from one country to another. It also could represent
a great advent or a miracle by the fact that he (uwbp) had performed a miracle
by God’s leave and returned his father’s sight. Joseph’s shirt in a dream means
dispelling distress, sorrows and recovering from illness. If the shirt is spotted
withblood in the dream, then it means separation and imprisonment. Ifhis shirt
is torn from the back in the dream, it means a false accusation. If a woman sees
Joseph (uwbp) in a dream, it means that she will lose her comfort and sight. She
will also live unhappy because of her separation from her beloved, and she will
fall in love with a great man. If the woman who is actually suffering from such
adversity sees such a dream, it means that God Almighty will turn to her with
mercy and guide her to repentance. If she is unmarried, it means that she will
get married. If she is poor, it means that she will become rich, and her life in
this world as well as in the hereafter will turn to her advantage. Seeing Joseph
(uwbp) as a young boy in a dream means having little or no luck with one’s
brethren. He will be lied to, suffer from imprisonment and other trials before
he recuperates, to rise and triumph over them. They will all then become his
subject. One who sees God’s prophet Joseph (uwbp) in a dream will also be a
pious, generous, charitable, and shares his good advice with those who need it,
or ask for it. If Joseph (uwbp) talks to someone, or gives him something in a
dream, it means that one will understand dream interpretations and learn
about Chronicles, or the two biblical books of History. Seeing him (uwbp) in a
dream also means marriage to a beautiful woman who will truly love her
husband. (Also see Jacob; Sale; Introduction p.p. xvi, xvii, xuiii)

Moses
(God’s prophet Moses, upon whom be peace.) If one sees God’s prophet
Moses, upon whom be peace, in a dream, it means that God Almighty will
destroy a tyrant at his hands. Following that, the person seeing the dream will
rise in station, continue to attain one victory after another, and he will never
be humiliated or defeated. Seeing Moses (uwbp) in a dream also denotes the
strength of righteous people, and the inevitable defeat of iniquitous people. If
at the time of seeing a dream with God’s prophet Moses (uwbp) there exist a
tyrant or an ungodly leader, it means that God Almighty will destroy him, and
one will be saved from his evil. If someone in authority becomes Moses (uwbp)
in a dream, or if he wears one of his cloaks, it means that he will vanquish his
enemy and fulfill what his heart desires. If one sees him (uwbp) in a prison or
persecuted, or if one fears a major event that could put and end to his life, or
an accident that could kill him, or a dangerous sea trip that could drown him,
it means that God willing, he will escape and survive such adversity. Seeing
Moses (uwbp) in a dream also means the end of tyranny, or victory in a war. If
one is oppressed, worried and distressed by his own family, and if he sees Moses
(uwbp) in a similar situation in a dream, it means that God Almighty will guide
him to a way to overcome them, or if a traveller sees such a dream, it means that
he will return safely to his home. Seeing Moses (uwbp) in a dream also indicates
trials duringone’s childhood, separation from one’s family, witnessinguncommon
miracles, or that one may suffer from his own family because of an admonition,
or it could represent a will he will leave to them, or it could mean commanding
good and eschewing evil. Seeing Moses (uwbp) in a dream also means love for
travel, praiseworthy intercession, sea travels, a safe return, profits, suffering
from slander and false accusations, or perhaps it could mean that one may have
weakness in his speech, or tottering, or that he may suffer from a head ill or
injury. If someone who has renounced worldly pleasures, an ascetic, or a pious
person sees Moses (uwbp) in a dream, it means increase in his wisdom, light in
his heart and elevation of his station. If a woman sees Moses (uwbp) in a dream,
she must fear loss of her child, or her dream could represent an adversity that
should have a happy ending. If a child sees Moses (uwbp) in a dream, the same
interpretation applies. If one sees himself carrying the staff of Moses (uwbp) in
a dream, it means that he will reach a high rank and win victory over his enemy.
If he is suffering from an evil spell or a sorcery, it means that it will be nullified.

Muhammad
(God’s Prophet Muhammad, blessings and peace be upon him; The
Seal of the prophets; The last Messenger) It is related that God’s Messenger,
upon whom be peace, has said: “One who sees me in a dream will see me in his
wakefulness, for Satan cannot impersonate me. ”He also has said: “One who sees
me in a dream, it is as if he has truly seen me, for Satan cannot impersonate me. ”
He also has said: “One who sees me in a dream will not enter the fire of hell. ”
Muslim theologians and scholars differ in opinion about the meaning of seeing
God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream. Imam Ibn Seerin used to ask someone who
tells of such a dream to describe the Prophet, upon whom be peace. If any of the
details did not fit his description, Ibn Seerin’s reply was: “You have not seen
him.” Asim Bin Kulayb once said: “I related to Ibn Abbas, God bless his soul and
that of his father, that I saw God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream. Ibn Abbas replied:
“Describe him to me.” Asim Bin Kulayb added: “I described him as resembling
Al-Hassan son of‘Ali, upon both of them be peace.” Ibn Abbas replied: “Indeed
you have seen him.” Ibn ‘Arabi once explained that the essence of seeing God’s
Prophet (uwbp) is cognizance of his presence and understanding the reality of
his character and example. Thus, recognizing the presence of the blessed being
is as affirmation of the truth, while seeing the physical form represents his
example and attributes, for being earthly does not change the essence of
prophethood. When God’s Prophet (uwbp) said: “He will see me in wakefulness,”
it means: ‘Expounding upon what he saw,’ for what one sees in such a dream is
the truth which resides in the realms of the unseen. In the second saying, when
God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, said: “It is as if he has truly seen me,” it
means that if one had seen him during the time of delivering God’s massage, the
example will be the same. Thus, the first saying signifies what is real and true
while the second saying implies the physical reality and its example. If one sees
God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, coming toward him in a dream, it means
blessings and benefits, and if one sees God’s prophet (uwbp) turning away from
him in a dream, it means the opposite. Al-Qadi ‘Iyad, God bless his soul, in¬
terpreted the words of God’s Prophet (uwbp) in his saying: “Has truly seen me,"
to mean: “has truly seen my physical form,” that the blessed companions knew,
while seeing him in another form in a dream means that one’s dream connotes
personal interpretations. Following the explanation of Al-Qadi ‘Iyad, Imam Al-
Nawawi commented by saying: “This is a weak explanation. A stronger inter¬
pretation is to say that one who sees God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream has seen
him in reality however his resemblance may appear. Whether the resemblance
in the dream is known or not.” In a separate commentary, Shaikh Al-Baqlani
added: “What Al-Qadi ‘Iyad has said does not contradict what Imam Al-Nawawi
has said.” This is because the first dream does not require interpretation,
according to Al-QadI ‘Iyad. In the second type of dream, that is discussed in
Imam Al-Nawawi’s comments, one’s dream does require interpretation or
analysis. This is to mean that since no Satan can impersonate God’s Prophet
(uwbp), then whatever appearance he displays in one’s dream is true. The
meaning of God’s prophet’s saying: “For Satan cannot impersonate me, ” implies
that since God’s guardianship (Isma ) is inviolable, and since God’s Prophet,
upon whom be peace, is sacrosanct, then as he was protected during the time
of delivering God’s message to humanity, he is still protected by the same
guardianship after God Almighty took him back to Himself. Thus, whoever sees
God’s Prophet (uwbp) in any appearance in a dream, it is as if has seen him in
reality, regardless whether one sees him as a young man, or at the time of
delivering his message, or as an old person. If one sees him looking old in a
dream, it means peace. If one sees him looking young in a dream, it means war.
If one sees him smiling in a dream, it means that one is truly emulating his
traditions. Seeing God’s Prophet (uwbp) in his known and recognized appear¬
ance in a dream means that the one seeing the dream is a pious person, that his
integrity is inviolable, and that his success is unquestionable. Seeing him
(uwbp) in a dream frowning represents the ill state of the one seeing the dream.
Ibn Abi Jumrah once said: “Seeing Him (uwbp) in a beautiful appearance
denotes the good religious standing of the person seeing the dream. Seeing him
with some disfeatures in a dream, a deficiency or distortion in one’s application
of his religious duties, for God’s Prophet (uwbp) is like a mirror that portrays
the one standing before it.” In this sense, the person seeing the dream can
recognize his own state. This interpretation is also given by Ibn Hajar Al-Hutaymi,
God bless his soul. Like that, in the book of ‘Sharh al-Shama-il’ of Imam Al-
Tirmithi, it is also stated that Satan cannot impersonate God Almighty, His
signs, prophets or angels. If someone suffering from distress sees God’s Prophet
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that his difficulties will be removed. If a prisoner
sees him in a dream, it means that he will be released form prison. If one is living
at a time of economic chaos, and if high prices are exploiting the people of the
land, or if injustice is tyrannizing everyone, then seeing God’s Prophet, upon
whom be peace, in a dream represents an end to such adversities. Seeing him
in his beautiful, radiant and impeccable appearance as best described by his
companions in a dream means glad tidings of attaining a successful conclusion
to one’s life in this world and in the hereafter. The state and clarity of one’s heart
and how well polished is his own mirror determines in what appearance he may
see him, upon whom be peace. If God’s Prophet (uwbp) comes toward someone
in a dream, or leads him in prayers, or if one sees himself accompanying him
on the road, or if one eats something sweet from his blessed hand, or receives
a cloak, or a suitable shirt, or if God’s Prophet promises him something, or prays
for him, then if the one seeing the dream qualifies for leadership, and if he is
a righteous and a just man who commands what is good and forbids what is evil,
and if he is learned and practices what he knows, and if he is a pious worshipper
and a devout Muslim, he will then attain the station and company of the blessed
ones. If the one who sees the dream is a disobedient servant of God Almighty,
it means that he will repent for his sins and return to his Lord. If he is living
in heedlessness, it means that he will be guided. Perhaps, he might attain his
goals in acquiring knowledge, or learn how to reconstruct his innermost being
to befit a human being who is grateful to his Lord. If one is fearing oppression,
persecution, or loss of his property and wealth sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it
means putting an end to such fears, for he is the best of intercessors to restore
anyone before God Almighty. If one who follows innovations sees God’s Prophet
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that he should fear God Almighty, heed to His
warnings and correct himself and particularly if he sees Him (uwbp) walking
away from him, or turning his back to him. Seeing God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a
dream also means receiving glad tidings and happy news, or it could signify
justice, establishing the truth, fulfillment of a promise, reaching a high rank
among the members of one’s family, or perhaps it could mean that one may suffer
from their envy and jealousy, or leave his homeland and migrate to another
country, or it could mean that he may lose his parents and become an orphan.
Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also could mean seeing miraculous events
( Karamat ), for his companions witnessed and testified to a deer greeting him,
a camel who kissed his foot, the broiled leg of mutton talking to him, trees
moving to give him cover, pebbles glorifying God’s praises in his hand, among
countless miracles, including his Nocturnal Journey and ascension ( Miraj ) to
the heavens to meet his Lord. If an ophthalmologist sees him in a dream, it
means that he will acquire great expertise in his field and become renowned in
the land, for God’s prophet upon whom be peace, did return the eye of his
companion Qutadah to its place and made his sight sharper than it was by God’s
leave, after Qutadah had lost his eye during one of the battles with the
unbelievers. If a traveller in the desert sees God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream,
or if there is drought somewhere, it means that rain will fall and springs will
gush forth, as water gushed from between his blessed fingers when he placed
his blessed hand over a half filled cup to quench the thirst of an entire army.
If calamities, starvation and drought has befallen a land and someone sees Him
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that such calamities will be lifted and life will return
to normal in that place. If a woman sees him in a dream, it means that she will
reach a high spiritual station, honor, righteousness, chastity, trustworthiness
and perhaps be given a blessed progeny, or if she is wealthy, it means that she
will spend her wealth on God’s path. Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also means
facing adversities, bearing patience and suffering from one’s enemy. If an
orphan sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it means that he will reach an exalted
station and the same goes if a foreigner sees him in his dream. If a physician
sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it means that people will benefit from his medicine.
Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also means victory over one’s enemy, or consolidating
and paying one’s debts, or recovering from an illness, or attending a pilgrimage
to God’s House in Mecca, or triumphing over one’s trials, or cessation of one’s
adversities, or fertility of a barren land, or the pregnancy of a barren woman.
If a visitor to his mosque sees himself in a dream coming before God’s Prophet
(uwbp) and finds him standing up, it denotes one’s correct religious standing,
and it means that he will have commanding authority over the Imam of his time.
If one finds him (uwbp) deceased in the dream, it means that a noble person from
the family of the person seeing the dream will shortly die. If one sees the funeral
of God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream, it means that a calamity will befall that
country. Following his funeral procession up to his grave (uwbp) in a dream
means that the person seeing the dream will yield to innovations. Visiting his
grave (uwbp) in a dream means receiving a great treasure. If one sees himself
as the son of God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream, and even if one is not one of his
descendents, it denotes one’s sincerity, true faith and certitude. Seeing God’s
Prophet (uwbp) by one person does not exclude the remainder of the believers,
but the blessings encompass all of them. Receiving something from him (uwbp)
such as food or a drink in a dream means benefits and profits. If one receives
food which substance connotes negative circumstances, such as a melon or the
like elements in a dream, it means that one will escape from a great danger,
though he will toil and suffer from hardships during his trials. If one sees that
one of the limbs that belong to God’s Prophet (uwbp) has become his own in a
dream, it means that he is following innovation and making changes in the laws
God’s Prophet (uwbp) brought to humankind. If one sees himself in a dream
embodying the form of God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, or wearing one of
his garments, or receives his ring, or sword, then if the person is seeking to
govern, he will attain that and the people will accept his leadership. If one is
suffering from persecution, or humiliation in the land, then seeing God’s
Prophet (uwbp) standing in a dream means that God Almighty will grant him
victory and make him rise above his enemies. If one is poor, his needs will be
satisfied, or if he is unmarried, he will get married. If one sees him (uwbp) in
a ruined place in a dream, it means that such a place will be rebuilt. If one enters
a room and finds him (uwbp) sitting there in a dream, it means that a miraculous
sign, or a major event will take place in such a locality. If one sees him (uwbp)
making the call to prayers in a dream, it means that prosperity will spread in
that place. If one sees him establishing the prayers ( Iqamah ) in a dream, it
means that the Muslims will reunite and dispel their differences. If one sees him
(uwbp) placing kohl over his eyelids in a dream, it means that he will find safety
and correct his religious stand, or it could mean that one will study and become
a scholar in the field of the prophetic sayings ( Ak&dith ). If a pregnant woman
sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it means that she will beget a son. If one sees him
(uwbp) having a black beard with no gray hair in it in a dream, it will bring
happiness, joy and prosperity to one’s life. If God’s Prophet (uwbp) is seen as an
old man in a dream, it means strength in one’s life and victory over one’s enemy.
Seeing him (uwbp) in his most exalted state in a dream means that the Imam,
or the ruler of the country will rise in station and that his authority will expand.
If one sees his blessed neck wide, it means that the Imam is holding firmly to
his trust. If one sees him (uwbp) having a large chest in a dream, it means that
the Imam or the ruler of the country is generous toward his subjects. If one sees
his blessed stomach (uwbp) empty in a dream, it means that the treasury of the
country is empty. If one sees his right hand closed in a dream, it means that the
Imam or the ruler of the country does not pay his employees, or distribute the
collected alms tax. If one sees his blessed right hand (uwbp) open in a dream,
it denotes the generosity of the ruler and his compliance with the distribution
of charities and alms tax as prescribed in God’s book. If his hands are locked
together in a dream, it means complications in the life of the Imam, or the ruler
of the country. The same will affect the life of the person seeing the dream,
including suffering from distress and adversities. If one sees his blessed leg
beautiful and hairy in a dream, it means that one’s clan will become stronger,
and his tribe will grow. If one sees the blessed thighs of God’s Prophet tall in
a dream, it denotes longevity of the Imam or the ruler of the country. If one sees
him (uwbp) standing in the midst of soldiers and everyone is laughing and joking
in a dream, it means that the Muslim army will be defeated and humiliated in
a war. If he is seen with a small army that is ill equipped and everyone is looking
down in the dream, it means that the Muslim army will triumph in that year.
If one sees him (uwbp) combing his blessed hair and beard in a dream, It means
that one’s distress and adversities will be dispelled. Seeing him (uwbp) in his
own mosque, or in any mosque, or in his usual place in a dream it means gaining
power and honor. If one sees him standing in the midst of his companions
delivering a revelation in a dream, it means that one will acquire a greater
knowledge, wisdom and spiritual understanding. Seeing the grave of God’s
Prophet (uwbp) in a dream means prosperity and profits for a merchant, or the
release of a prisoner from his jail. Seeingoneself in a dream as the father of God’s
Prophet (uwbp) means that one’s faith will diminish and his certitude will
weaken. If a woman sees herself in a dream as one of the wives of God’s Prophet
(uwbp), it represents her growing faith. If one sees him (uwbp) looking into one’s
affairs in a dream, it means that God’s Prophet (uwbp) is admonishing the one
seeing the dream and commanding him to render his wife her due rights. To
walk behind him (uwbp) in a dream means following his ( Sunnah ) traditions in
wakefulness. To eat with him (uwbp) in a dream means that one is commanded
to pay the annual alms tax ( Islamic law) due over one’s money making assets,
or liquid assets, gold, silver, jewelry, savings, etcetera, excepting one’s home or
vehicle. If one sees God’s Prophet (uwbp) eating alone in a dream, it means that
the one seeing the dream refuses to give charities and disdains to help those who
ask for his help. In this sense, it is as if God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, is
commanding the person to give charities and to help the needy. If one sees him
(uwbp) bare footed in a dream, it means that one has neglected to do his regular
prayers. To see him (uwbp) and to shake hands with him in a dream means that
one is truly his follower. If one sees his blood mixed with that of God’s Prophet
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that one will marry a woman from among his
descendents, or that one will marry the daughter of a great religious scholar.
If God’s Prophet (uwbp) gives someone some type of greens or herbs in a dream,
it means that one will escape from a great danger. If he (uwbp) gives him
something fresh or honey in the dream, it means that one will learn the Holy
Quran and acquire a great knowledge and wisdom according to the amount he
receives in his dream. If one returns the gift to God’s Prophet (uwbp) it means
that he will follow innovation. To see him (uwbp) delivering a sermon in a dream
means that he is commanding people to do good and to eschew evil. If one sees
the color of his skin (uwbp) tan in a dream, it means that one will think about
repenting from his sins and abstain from young people’s ignorance. If the color
of his skin is white in the dream, it means that one will repent for his sins and
turn to God Almighty for acceptance. If he (uwbp) reprimands someone in a
dream, it means that one must refrain from innovation and follow the prophetic
traditions. If one finds that God’s Prophet (uwbp) has died in a specific location
in a dream, it means that the person seeing the dream will die in that same place
and God knows best. (Also see Visiting holy sites)

Ocean
(Government) The element of ocean in a dream represents a prison where
sea lives are incarcerated, and it means losses, fear, despair, limitless knowledge,
a city without walls, or the world, its trials and wonders. An ocean or a sea in a
dream also represents a strong ruler who is just, compassionate toward his
subjects and whom people revere, have access to, and seek for their daily needs.
If a businessman sees an ocean in a dream, it represents his merchandise. As for
a worker or an apprentice, the ocean in a dream represents his veteran teacher
or master. If one sees the ocean in a dream, it means that he will succeed in his
goals. If one sees himself entering into the ocean or sea in a dream, it means that
he will enter before a ruler, or stand before someone in authority. If one sees
himself sitting or lounging at the sea shore in a dream, it means that he will work
for such a person or a ruler, though he will be observing caution and diplomacy
with him. If one sees himself drinking the entire water of the sea though no one
sees him except the king in a dream, it means that he will reign and live a long
life. Drinking any portion thereof also means equal earnings to what he takes in.
If one sees himself drinking from it to quench his thirst in the dream, it means
riches, strength and longevity. If one sees himself asking for some of its water to
drink in a dream, it means that he is seeking to work for such a strong person or
ruler. If he pours its water in a pitcher in the dream, it means prosperity, or that
he will receive a bounteous gift from God Almighty to encompass a high rank as
well as riches. However, his status will last longer than his money. To drink water
from the sea in a dream means acquiring knowledge and adopting proper conduct.
Crossing the ocean in a dream means booty. If one sees strong waves bringing
seawater to his street without causing damages in a dream, it means that a ruler
or a great person will enter or visit that locality. Bathing in seawater in a dream
means repentance from one’s sins. Seeing the ocean from a distance in a dream
means that calamities, temptations and trials are coming to one’s community. If
one sees the sea receding, whereby he can see the edges of the earth it covers in
a dream, it means diminishing of his authority and control, or that the wrath of
God Almighty has descended upon that locality. This calamity could be carried
by one’s own government, economic tribulations, drought, or one’s enemies.
Standing over seawater in a dream means attaining something one did not seek.
Walking in the air above the seawater in a dream represents the person’s good
intentions, his clarity, faith and certitude. If a sick person sees himself taking
ablution in seawater in a dream, it means that he will recover from his illness,
or it could mean payment of one’s debts and relief from worldly pressures. (Also
see Water)

Underground granary
(Granary; Pantry; Storrage room; Subterranean storehouse)
An underground grain storage house in a dream represents a caring mother, a
single parent or a foster mother. This interpretation comes from the example
of a fetus in his mother’s womb and its dependence on her to supply the
necessary nourishment. Once the stored food is consumed, then it is necessary
to depend on a new source. If one sees an underground granary demolished or
filled with dirt in the dream, and if his mother is sick, it means that she may
die from her illness. If one’s wife is pregnant, it means that she will soon deliver
her infant. A demolished underground granary in a dream means finding a
buyer for one’s grains, and the dirt that fills the storehouse in the dream
represents money. If the stored grain turns into dirt in a dream,
it means that market prices will come down, or it could mean the loss of one’s investment.
Seeing a granary filled with food in a dream means that one’s wife is pregnant.
If a fire consumes the stored grain in a dream, it means rising prices. If one sees
a granary filled with sugar or dates in a dream, it means that prices will stabilize
and become attainable, while the type of food stored therein will be in limited
supplies and consequently, its price will rise. If a sick person falls into an
underground granary in a dream, it means his death, or drowning in the sea,
or facing a highway robbery. As for one who is engaged in a fight, an underground
granary in his dream represents a prison or a visit to a brothel.

Chewing
(Greed) To chew food other than for grinding or eating one’s meal in a
dream means an illness or loss of appetite. Chewing gum in a dream means
earning money coupled with ugly words that will grow to become a big fight and
that will lead to a court appearance. The source of it all begins with greed.
Anything that is chewed in a dream means an exchange of words. The only
exception to it is chewing a stick of sugar cane in a dream. In that case, it means
lauding someone or hearing pleasing words one desires to hear over and over.

Mill
(Grinder; Press) In a dream, a mill represents a school, a courthouse, a
balance, justice, righteousness, benefits, blessings, money, food, charity, or
marriage. The millstone in a dream represents a wife and a husband. The flour
that issues from between the two grinding stones represents sperms or children.
A mill in a dream also means distress and adversities, uptightness, headache,
a rivulet, or a windmill. If one sees a mill grinding human beings in a dream,
it means loss of lives and adversities. If one sees a mill grinding something that
is not edible in a dream, it means drought and rising prices. If the amount of
flour coming from the mill is plentiful in the dream, it means lowering of prices,
or recovering from an illness. Grinding lupine seeds, henna seeds, potash,
saltwort, salsola kali, jojobe seeds or any seeds from the marsh mallow tree in
a dream means washing oneself from sin, overcoming difficulties, paying one’s
debts and recovering from an illness. (Also see Oil press; Press; Sugar mill)

Treasure
(Hidden treasure; Knowledge; Wheel) Discovering a treasure in a
dream means acquiring knowledge. If one is a merchant, then it means profits
from his business, or spending money generously on God’s path. If one is a ruler,
it means expansion of his powers and it denotes his justice. Seeing a treasure
in a dream is interpreted in relation to one’s type of trade. A treasure in a dream
also represents a business. Discovering a hidden trunk with little money inside
it in a dream means a short lived difficulty, but if the trunk is stashed with
money, then it means distress, sadness and sorrow. In many instances, discov¬
ering a treasure in a dream may mean death, or it could mean becoming rich,
or complying with a court order. Discovering a great treasure in a dream means
martyrdom. Discovering a treasure and rejoicing in the dream means loss of
one’s money or business. Discovering a treasure in a dream also could mean ease
in one’s life, receiving an inheritance, distress, trouble, wearing a new garment,
a wife, cheating on one’s taxes, or it could mean avoiding to pay alms tax, or
hindering the distributions of charitable endowments. A treasure in a dream
also represents a profitable business, or it could represent a money changer, a
jeweler, or remembering something. Discovering a treasure that is difficult to
reach in a dream represents a stingy person who hinders the distribution of
charities, or if he is a scholar, it means that he does not like to share his
knowledge with others, and if one is a judge, it means that he is unjust. If a
woman discovers a treasure in her dream, it means that she is careful about
spending money and managing her household. If the trunk has no cover or lid
in the dream, then it means the opposite.

Hyena
(Hog-like wolf) A hyena in a dream represents a fierce, an unjust and a
perfidious enemy whose actions stem from the directives of an evil and an ugly
old witch. If one sees himself eating the meat of a hyena in a dream, it means
that he is bewitched and does not know it, though subconsciously, he will desire
and seek to be free from such an evil spell. Riding a hyena in a dream means
marriage. A lame hyena in a dream represents a witch, or the wife of an
unknown person, a jobless person, a loafer, or a cheater. Riding a hyena in a
dream also means gaining authority. A hyena in a dream also may denote
exposing one’s secrets, interfering in people’s business, effeminacy, a her¬
maphroditic person, a wretched wife, or an ugly, treacherous and a disloyal
woman. Thus, when interpreted to means a woman, it means that one may
marry such a woman. Shooting a hyena with an arrow in a dream means
corresponding with such a woman. Throwing a stone or a walnut at a hyena in
a dream means slandering a woman. Hitting a hyena with a sword in a dream
means lashing at such a woman with bad words. Drinking hyena’s milk in a
dream means suffering losses at the hand of such a woman through betrayal.

Giraffe
(Hoof) Seeing a giraffe without a necessary reason in a dream has a

coming from a close friend, a wife or a child. A giraffe in a dream also represents
a wife who is keen to protect her married life or who stands behind her husband

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.

need, becoming an orphan, business losses, being emotional or having a temper.
If a woman sees herself breast-feeding a man in a dream, it means tightness of
worldly means or imprisonment for both of them. Breast-feeding a child after
weaning him in a dream means a sickness or imprisonment. Though, if a
pregnant woman sees herself breast-feeding a child in a dream, it means that
she will have a safe delivery. If one sees himself breast-feeding a hunted animal,
or a domesticated one, or if one sees himself suckling their milk in a dream, it
means that an affliction, or a calamity will strike at that person, then it will
secede. If a man sees himself having milk in his breast in a dream, it means
material success and prosperity. Should he breast-feed someone in that dream,
it denotes ill consequences for both people. If a woman sees a man suckling milk
from her breast in a dream, it means that he uses force with her to give him her
money. If a woman sees herself moving between other women and breast¬
feeding them in a dream, it means that she will never yield milk. If a sick person
sees himself suckling milk in a dream, it means that he will recover from his
illness. (Also see Milk)

stomach in a dream means earning money from a loathsome and a despicable
man. Seeing flies inside one’s body in a dream means mixing with loathsome
people. Whatever profits one may gain through them will not last. A large size
fly in a dream represents a great enemy who will bring harm to the people and
to the economy of the land. Flies flying over one’s head in a dream represent a
weak enemy who is desiring to triumph over him. It could also mean that
someone in a high ranking position is influencing their moves or forcing them
to do what he wants. If someone who intends a journey sees flies sitting on him
in a dream, perhaps he should delay his travel plans for while. If one sees flies
inside his mouth in a dream, it means that some thieves will take refuge or hide
in his house. If a fly or a mosquito enters one’s ear in a dream, it denotes blessing,
status, authority or profits. Killing a fly in a dream means preserving one’s
health and fitness. If one sees a swarm of flies inside his house in a dream, it
means that his enemies will cause him losses. Flies are a weak but a tough
enemy. In a dream, a gathering of flies somewhere means profits, medicine,
cure, abominable actions or committing an act that will bring rebuke.

(Instinct; Nature; Profits) In a dream, milk represents nature, instinct, or

in a dream, it means building of one’s savings. If a man sees milk flowing from
his breast in a dream, it means wealth, prosperity and that new opportunities
will rise from every direction. Woman’s milk in a dream means recovering from
an illness. If a woman sees herself carrying milk in her breast in a dream, when
in reality she does not have it, it means that she will breast feed a new born.
If a woman sees herself breast-feeding a baby, a man, or another woman in her
dream, it means that the source of earnings will be hampered or restricted to
both the suckling person and to the one who is breast-feeding him. Hiring a wet-

of milk in the dream, it means earning unlawful money. If a merchant, or a
business man milks any milk producing animal in a dream, it means profits.
Sucking the gland of a pregnant she-camel, one, two, or three times in a dream
means steadfastness in one’s religion, performing one’s obligatory prayers,

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,

enemy. If one’s tongue becomes elongated with no cause for dispute or argument

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

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

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

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

One’s tongue in a dream also may represent something one fears, such as the

Mosque
(Jami; Masjid) The main city mosque or the central mosque in a dream
represents the king, the governor, or the ruler of a Muslim country, since he
takes care of establishing the divine laws as well as he is the symbol of Islam
and the decisive judge between the lawful and the unlawful. Smelling an apple
inside a mosque means getting married. A mosque in a dream is like the central
market that people intend daily and endeavor to make profit therein. It is a place
where people will profit according to their deeds and efforts. A mosque in a
dream also represents one who is to be obeyed, respected and revered such as
a father, a teacher, a shaikh or a man of knowledge. It also asserts justice if one
who enters a mosque in his dream is unjustly treated. The main city mosque in
a dream represents the Quranic revelation, the ocean of knowledge, a place of
purification and washing one’s sins, the graveyard where submissiveness and
contemplation are evoked, the washing and shrouding of the dead, medicine,
silence, focusing one’s intention and facing the qiblah at the Kaaba in Mecca.
Seeing the main city mosque in a dream also means to recognize something good
and to act upon it. It also could be interpreted as the shelter from one’s enemy,
and a sanctuary and a shelter of the believer from fear, and a house of peace.
The ceiling of the mosque represents the intimate and vigilant entourage of a
king. Its outstretch represents the dignitaries. Its chandeliers represent its
wealth and ornaments. Its prayer mats represent the king’s justice and his
knowledgeable advisors. Its doors represent the guards. Its minaret represents
the king’s vice-regent, the official speaker of the palace or it announcer. If the
main mosque in the dream is interpreted to represent the ruler of the land, then
its pillars represent the element of time. Its lights represent the noble retinue
and the wise men of his epoch. The ceiling represents the knowledge contained
in the books that protect his justice and his references. The minaret will then
represent his chief minister or advisor. The pulpit represents his servant. The
prayer niche represents his wife, or it may represent his lawful earnings, or a
righteous and a chaste wife. If one sees a mosque burning in a dream, it means
death, losses and political changes in the country. The main mosque of the town
also represents the pious people dwelling therein, the men of knowledge, the
wise men, devotion, or a hermitage. Its niche represents the leader of the people
(Imam). The caller to prayers (Muezzin) represents the judge or a gnostic from
that town or country who calls people to the right path and whose call is
harkened to by the believer. The doors of a mosque in a dream represent the
trustees and guards who shelter people from outside attacks. If one sees any of
that in a dream, or whatever condition these elements are in, they represent the
current condition of the people, and this is what the central mosque represents
in one’s dream. If one sees grass growing inside a mosque in a dream, then it
means a wedding. (Also see Imam; Kaaba; Masjid; Minaret; Minbar; Muezzin)

Bread
(Loaf; Knowledge; Life; Longevity; Money; Mother; Nanny; Needs; Pros¬
perity; Religion; A strong person.) When bread is made from bleached flour in
a dream, it means blessed earnings and a comfortable life. When it is made with
unbleached flour in a dream, it means disturbances in one’s life. It is said that
each loaf of bread represents forty years of one’s life. Each loaf of bread also may
represent money in denominations of tens, hundreds or thousands, all relative
to the financial standing of the person in the dream, or the type of work he
performs. Whole wheat bread, barley bread or sweet bread made with honey or
sugar in a dream means rising prices. Eating bread with its crusts in a dream
is like eating honey with its beeswax. Oven fresh bread when eaten in one’s
dream is best. Bread in a dream represents woman’s chastity. Bread made with
bleached flour means living a clean life, having pure knowledge, or a beautiful
wife. If a student sees himself distributing bread among poor people in a dream,
it means that he will attain his goals and succeed in his studies. If he is a
preacher, it means that people are accepting his admonitions and advice.
Otherwise, if he sees people crowding over him to get their bread in the dream,
it means that people will seek what he has to offer. In that case, his position is
better than theirs, for the giving hand is better than the receiving one. If one
sees a deceased person offering him a piece of bread in a dream, it means that
he will receive unexpected money from an unsolicited source. If one sees bread
hanging in the skies, over the roofs or hanging down from trees in a dream, it
means rising prices and the same interpretation applies for all commodities. If
he sees bread scattered on the ground and people walking over it in a dream,
it means prosperity in that land which leads to vanity. A good looking loaf of
bread represents one’s good religious stand, otherwise it means the opposite.
Baking bread in a dream means working for one’s livelihood. Seeing squandered
loaves of bread and not eating from them in the dream means meeting with
brothers one has not seen for a long time. Having a loaf of bread baked with
coarsely grounded grains in the dream means living a comfortable life, though
with insignificant religious attendance. If it is a loaf of barley bread in the
dream, it means a strenuous life, though well managed. Corn bread, chick peas
bread or millet bread means tight financial conditions and rising prices. If one
is given a piece of dried bread in a dream, it indicates the near end of his life.
A loaf of bread in a dream means marriage for an unwed person, and for a
craftsman, it means progress in his trade. As for a ruler or a judge, a well baked
loaf of bread in a dream represents hisjustice. Small loaves of bread in a dream
represent a short life, while large loaves mean longevity. Eating a hot loaf of
bread means hypocrisy, because the effect of the oven’s heat is still in it. Eating
bread without a meal means a sickness or dying alone. Eating from a loaf of
bread which is half baked in a dream means that one may suffer from high fever.
If a poor person eats sweetbread or a cake in a dream, it means sickness or loss
of what he maybe expecting to receive. Eating the thin variety of rock baked
bread in a dream means increase in one’s earnings. A thin loaf of bread in a
dream also could mean a short life. Holding two loaves of bread in a dream
means marrying two sisters, one after the other. Eating simultaneously from
two loaves of bread, one in each hand in a dream also means a marriage to two
sisters. Eating pretzels in a dream means adopting a good health diet. Stale

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

sickness or one’s shop, piety, religious attendance, fear of wrongdoing, scruti¬

for sins. If one’s flesh grows bigger than what one actually has in a dream, it
means prosperity, and if one is sick, it means recovering from his illness. If one
sees himself having less flesh than what he actually has in a dream, it means
stagnation of his business or loss of his money and property. If a devoted
worshiper sees growth in his physical fitness in a dream, it means slackening
in his devotion and occupying himself more in material gains and worldly
pleasures. If one sees himself emaciated in a dream, then it means the opposite.
Buying a piece of human flesh in a dream means having a stagnant merchandise.
If a judge or a ruler finds that his flesh has grown in a dream, it means that he
will become famous for his verdicts, rulings or that he will become rich, or
perhaps he might grow in fury or develop anger. Growth in one’s fitness in a
dream also denotes happiness, joy and celebrations, while emaciation in a
dream represents distress and adversities. If one sees his flesh black or blue, or
if his skin is cracking in a dream, it denotes suffering from adversities, an illness
or a punishment for his sins. Eating the growth of one’s own flesh in a dream
means usury, or living on income from usury and saving one’s capital. Eating
from one’s own flesh in a dream also means using one’s own capital, or doing

over his cheeks in a dream mean storing illegal money, or disguising the
unlawful source of one’s income which one’s adversaries will eventually unveil
or expose. If such tears are finally shed in the dream, they mean that one will
willingly spend such money, or get rid of it to conceal his act. If one sees tears
running from his right eye and entering his left eye in the dream, it means that
his son and daughter may engage in sexual intercourse, and he must immediately
separate between their rooms, and teach them about the lawful and the
unlawful. Tears which come during yawning in a dream signify payment of an
unjust fine. Seeing tears during the daylight time, or under the sun, or in front
of a fire in a dream means business losses caused by one of these three elements.
Tears in a dream also signify loneliness, leaving one’s homeland, or yearning to

Young man
(Teenage boy) An unknown young man in a dream represents an

a dream means pursuing one’s enemy and conquering him. If one meets an
unknown young man whom he dislikes in a dream, it means that such an enemy
will surface and people will abhor him. If one happens to like him in the dream,
then it means that he will face an enemy whom most people like and sympathize

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

it means that he will recover from a severe illness. Seeing the archangel ‘Izrail
in a dream also means longevity, or going through unavoidable circumstances,
or experiencing extreme fear. If one sees himself being ‘Izrail in a dream, it
means rising in status to govern and to oppress others, or he might become an

livelihood, imprisonment, breach of promise, forgetting one’s knowledge, ne¬
glecting one’s prayers, obstruction of charities, hindrance of alms distribution,
negating the rights of others, retreating to one’s privacy, rising prices, bad crop,
a tyrant ruler, glass blowing, or bankruptcy. As for one who loves to meet his
Lord, seeing the archangel ‘Izrail in a dream means attainment of one’s goal,
fulfillment of a promise, freedom from prison, good news and glad tidings. If an
unknown or a common person approaches someone in the street and whispers

dispersal of one’s family that will be followed by a joyful reunion. Seeing God’s
prophet Jacob (uwbp) in a dream also means earning God’s nearness through
devotion, prayers, charity and good deeds. It also could mean temporary loss of
one’s sight, finding a missing child, or suffering a trial because of one’s
attachment to his blood ties, though God willing, the results will be positive.
Seeing him in a dream also means a calamity, or loss of family and wealth. The
person in the dream also will be endowed with great patience and will come out
of it victorious. If a sick person sees him (uwbp) in his dream, it means that he
will recover from his illness. If he has a prayer or a need, they will be fulfilled.
If one sees himself wearing Jacob’s robe in a dream, it means that he will be
afflicted with calamities, distress, separation from his family and beloveds, or
it could mean an illness. At the end, his sufferings will vanish to be replaced with
happiness. Seeing God’s prophet Jacob (uwbp) in a dream also means business,
travels, rising prices, stashing merchandise then revealing it. If a woman sees
Jacob’s wife in a dream, it means that she will be stripped of her wealth and
become subject of defamation, though again, the conclusion of her case will turn
positive. It also could mean the imprisonment of one of her children. If a sick
person sees her in a dream, it means that he will recover by God’s mercy and
grace, since her name was ‘Rahma’ (Mercy). (Also see Joseph, upon whom be

dream, it means that he earns his money through deception, that is to acquire
unlawful money. If he finds money inside the bucket instead of water in the
dream, it means that he will suffer from a calamity. If he draws water from the
well to fill a pitcher in the dream, it means that such money will soon be spent
or that its benefits will be mixed with misdeeds. If one sees himself watering a
garden from that bucket in a dream, it means that he will get married and
benefit from his wife’s wealth. If the garden blossoms with flowers in the dream,
it means that he will beget a son. If one sees himself drawing water from an old
well to give water to his camels or to provide drinks for people in a dream, it
means that he performs good deeds and that he is a charitable person. He then

animals in his dream, it means that he is a hypocrite and through falsehood, he
fabricates as many tricks as the amount of water he draws from that old well.
If one sees himself lowering the bucket into the well for himself to drink in the
dream, it means that his so-called charitable deeds are solely done for his
worldly gains, money, respect or status. If a prisoner sees himself drawing water
with a bucket to take a bath in a dream, it means that he will escape from jail

a bucket in a well to draw water in a dream, it means that his wife will deliver

milk coming from his breast, and if he is poor, it means that his poverty will end,
his life will be a long one, and he will even carry the financial responsibility of
caring for two of his brothers. If he is unmarried, it means that he argues about

the breast of a woman in his dream, it means that he will hear bad news. If a
teenager sees that, it means that he is in love. If a man sees himself having a
female milk suckling breast in a dream, it means friends, children, or a wife who
are of no benefit to him. If such breasts look hanging tall in the dream, it means

breasts are dripping milk in a dream, they represent a woman who cares about her home duty, or it could mean falling into debts. If one's breasts are trans-

Silver
(Woman) Silver in a dream represents hard earned money or savings. In
dream interpretation, the substance of silver and that of a woman are the same.
A silver coin in a dream represents a beautiful woman. Extracting silver in a
dream means taking advantage of a woman. If one finds abundance of silver in
his dream, it means that he will uncover a treasure. Melting silver in a dream
means having an argument with one’s wife that will become the talk of the town.
Receiving silverware or silver cups as a gift in a dream means being entrusted
with money or personal items for safe keeping. The same interpretation goes for
receiving a silver mirror in a dream as long as one does not look into it. Once
he looks into the mirror in his dream, it means adversities, defamation, and loss
of respect, for only harm could come from looking into a silver mirror in a dream.
Silverware, silver cups or silver pitchers, as well as the golden ones in a dream
also may represent good deeds that lead to paradise, or they could mean good
business and prosperity. To see expensive silver items mixed with trivial
imitations in a dream means innovation and suspicious behavior. Silver ornaments
in a dream mean forcing one’s way, or obliging a jealous person to revert the
course of his actions. Buying something with silver coins of unknown origin, or

an unjust person. In a dream, if one sees a butcher who specializes in selling
animal heads, he represents a guardian of people’s estates, or a treasurer of a
company, he also could represent adversities or death. If the animals’ heads
cannot be identified in the dream, and if they still have their skin, hair, and are
dripping blood in the dream, then it means the disappearance of the people of
knowledge and that knowledge will become selectively disseminated by political
leaders. Cattles’ heads here represent people in danger. Buying an animal’s
head from a butcher in a dream means asking one’s superior for a teacher for
a special training, a coach, a continuing education program, or a better job. If
a butcher slaughters an animal for fun in a dream, it means suspicion about

wood, then it represents a fallacious and a deceptive person. If the ceiling looks

that family. If rain dissolves the ceiling in a dream, it means loss of money and
falling-out from grace. If one sees himself standing on the ceiling of his house
and cannot come down in the dream, it means his imprisonment. In a dream,
the central beam that carries the ceiling represents a hypocrite who supports
the business of an alliance of profiteers. Should the central beam break down
and fall in the dream, it means that such a person will be removed from his office.
If the ceiling falls over someone’s head in a dream, it means that punishment
and sufferings will befall him too. If one sees the stars under the roof of his house
in a dream, it means that his ceiling may actually cave-in. (Also see Cave-in)

Mountain
A mountain in a dream represents a great and a noble man who
possesses a strong and a commanding voice, who commands good administration
of his affairs and an excellent leadership. It also can be interpreted as a son, a
difficult and austere woman, or a businessman. If the mountain is rounded or
flat in the dream, it means difficulties or distress. A mountain in a dream also
could mean achieving one’s goal, a journey, or fulfilling a promise. If the
mountain is standing distinct from other mountains in the dream, the above
meanings become stronger. If the mountain has pasture and stores a source of
water, and if it is used as a permanent guarding post, then it represents a pious
ruler. However, if it stores no water, and if no pasture grows therein in the
dream, it represents a tyrant and a ruler who is an atheist, for in that case, it
is dead and does not glorify God Almighty, nor can people benefit from it. In a
dream, a mountain that stands high is alive, but a crumbling mountain which
has turned into a pile of rocks is dead. If a person sees himself climbing an erect
mountain, eating from its plants and drinking from its water, and if he qualifies
to govern, it means that he will be appointed to a governing post under the
auspices of a stringent ruler, though his subjects do receive benefits from his
government. The size of benefits the governor will acquire is equal to the
quantity of food and the measure of water he drinks from it in his dream. If the
person is a merchant or a business man, a mountain in his dream represents
profits and earning a good reputation. If climbing the mountain is easy, then
there are no benefits in that climbing in the dream, for there are no benefits
without hardships. If at the end of his climbing one thanks God Almighty for
what he has reached in the dream, it means that he will become a just ruler.
If he calls to prayers on the top of a mountain or performs his prayers thereat
in the dream, it means that he will be appointed to govern. If one sees himself
descending a mountain in a dream, it means loss of rank, business losses, or
regret. If one is accompanied with his king and soldiers in a dream, it means
that he is in the company of God Almighty and that of His angels, therefore,
he shall be victorious, whereby, he can win a war, conquer an enemy, or
renounces his attachment to the world. If climbing a mountain with difficulty
means distress, then descending it in a dream means relief. If climbing means
gaining a higher station, then descending in a dream means losing rank. If one
sees himself climbing a mountain, though at a certain height he finds himself
no longer able to climb or to descend in the dream, it means that he will die
young. If one sees himself falling from a mountain in a dream, it means that he
will fall into sin. If he falls and breaks a leg in the dream, it means that he will
become despised by his superiors. A mountain on fire in a dream represents the
death of a dangerous person. Leaning against a mountain in a dream represents
friendship with someone in authority. Living in the shadow of a mountain in a
dream means earning one’s livelihood from such a person and living happily
there. Carrying a mountain in a dream means carrying the responsibility of
managing the business of a notable merchant, and such responsibilities will
bear heavy on him. If the mountain is radiant with lights, it means that one’s
responsibilities will be light too. If he sees a mountain descending from the
heavens in a dream, it represents a visit of the local governor to that locality.
If one sees the mountain rising into the skies in a dream, it means that the
governor of that town will be dismissed. Throwing stones from the top of a
mountain in a dream means insulting others. If the mountain is beautifully
dressed in the dream, it means that one will command a greater authority.
Seeing a mountain at a distance in a dream means a journey. If one sees an
earthquake hitting a mountain in a dream, it means that calamities will befall
that land or country. If an evildoer sees a mountain in his dream, it means that
he will surely suffer for his sins. Swallowing a mountain in a dream means
commanding and controlling ruthless and strong men. Climbing a mountain
until one reaches a flat surface in a dream means serving orphans, or nursing
sick people. Entering a cave inside a mountain in a dream means reaching
safety. The good or evil emanating from seeing a mountain in one’s dream
depend on its fertility or bareness. Climbing a mountain and enjoying its
vegetations and its sweet fresh waters in a dream means sheltering one’s
chastity in the company of one’s wife, or learning a knowledge or a trade that
will satisfy one’s needs. Climbing a mountain through a straight path in a dream
means facing things the way they are. If one sees mountains moving forward
with him, it means a war or a major conflict between people of knowledge.
Falling down from the top of a mountain into the middle of beasts, crows,
vultures, snakes, mammals, mire, filth, or rats and their different kinds in a
dream means abstaining from sins, or refraining from innovation if escaping
from them leads one into a mosque where he can enter to pray, or a garden where
he can rest in peace. If the mountain crumbles, and if it is transformed into ashes
or dirt in the dream, it means that whoever is meant in that dream shall lose
his devotion and waste his life. (Also see Ascending in the skies)

religious life. Entering a palace in a dream means gaining authority, rising in
station, and a growing religious adherence. If one sees himself managing his
own palace in a dream, it means exaltation, power and reverence. If the palace
he is managing in the dream belongs to someone else, then it means earnings
from such a person. A palace in a dream also denotes good deeds. Entering a
palace in a dream also means getting married. Entering a palace made of glass
means a marriage that will not last. It is thus said that a palace in a dream can
be interpreted in eight different ways: that is blessings, money, leadership,
rank, management, authority, attaining one’s goals and happiness. Residing in
one of the palaces of paradise in a dream means leadership, victory, or marriage.

Elderly person
An unknown elderly person in a dream represents one’s good luck,
happiness and one’s assiduity and diligence. If the unknown elderly person
looks strong in the dream, he represents one’s strength. Otherwise, if he looks
feeble, then he represents one’s weakness. Whatever physical conditions an
elderly person is seen with in the dream, such condition will reflect in one’s own
state. If an elderly person comes toward the person seeing the dream, it means
that someone will help him attain a praiseworthy rank. If one follows an elderly
person in a dream, it means that he follows a good path. If one sees an elderly
person and displeases him in the dream, it means that he will displease a close
friend or reject his advice. If he pleases him in the dream, it means that he will
consent with a close good friend and they will walk together on the path to reap
material as well as spiritual benefits. If one sees a gathering of friendly people
but could not determine whether they are young or elderly in a dream, it means
that he will discover new avenues in his life and he will draw material and
spiritual benefits from them. If he sees a gathering of young people he does not
recognize in the dream, it means that he will associate himself with rich people.
If he sees a gathering of elderly people he does not recognize in the dream, it
means that he will associate himself with good friends. If a woman sees an
elderly person she could not recognize in the dream, he represents the world.
If a young man sees himself turned into an elderly person in a dream, it means

person in a dream means receiving honor and rank. If an elderly person sees
himself turned young in a dream, it represents his strength, wealth, good living

Hell-fire
Entering hell-fire in a dream means committing major sins such as
murder or adultery. If one comes out of it unharmed in the dream, then it
represents worldly adversities. If one sees the fire of hell coming near him in a
dream, it means difficulties, debts, losses, fines and adversities from which one
will not be able to escape. If one sees himself entering hell-fire and holding his
sword unsheathed in a dream, it means that he speaks evil of others and
commits abominable actions against his own soul. The same interpretation
applies if one enters it smiling in his dream. Finding oneself prisoner in hell not
knowing when was he incarcerated in the dream means constraint, poverty,
deprivation, failure to pray, fast or to remember his Lord. Walking across
burning coal in a dream means exceeding one’s bound regarding people’s rights.
Eating food from hell means becoming a tyrant and a blood thirsty person. If one
sees himself inside hell-fire, where his eyes turn dark-blue and his face charcoal
black in the dream, it means that he befriends God’s enemy and consents to their
deception and chicanery. Consequently, he will surely be humiliated and
despised by people, and in the hereafter, he will suffer the consequences of his
sins. Seeing hell in a dream means that one should avoid incurring the wrath
of a ruler. Entering hell in a dream also means notoriety, or becoming known
as an evil person. It also means heedlessness and pursuing one’s indulgence in
abominable actions. Whatever knowledge such a person acquires will bear evil
consequences. Hell in a dream also represents loss of one’s prestige, status and
it means poverty after wealth, despair after comfort, unlawful earnings, inso¬
lence, and if it leads to an illness, it will end in a shocking de ath as a punishment.
If it leads to employment, it will be a job serving a tyrant. If it leads to acquiring
knowledge, it means inventing vain religious practices. If it leads to bearing a
son, he will be the child of adultery. In general hell in a dream means excessive
sexual desires, a slaughter house, a public bath, an oven, inventing a new
religion, innovation, absence of truth, indulgence in what is forbidden, stinginess,
denying the Day of Judgment, a blazing fire forthe devils, joining with agroup
of evildoers in committing atrocities, denying the sovereignty of God Almighty
and ascribing human characteristics to Him. Seeing Malik, the guardian angel
of hell-fire in a dream means receiving guidance after heedlessness. If one sees
Malik coming toward him in the dream, it means his salvation and the
restoration of his faith. However, if one sees Malik turning his back to him or
going away from him in the dream, it means that he will commit an act that will
deliver him to the blazing fire of hell. The angels in charge of punishing the
sinners in hell in a dream represent the authority, soldiers, or tax collectors. If
one enters hell-fire then comes out of it in his dream, it means that, God willing,
his life will culminate in paradise. If he sees his limbs reprimanding him in the
dream, it means that one’s own body is telling him something, or admonishing
and trying to awaken his conscious to the realities of the hereafter and the Day
of Reckoninh. (Also see Bathhouse; Fire; Malik; Mental hospital)

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

Sale
If one sees himself as a prisoner being sold in a slave market in a dream, it
means honor if the buyer is a woman, and difficulties if the buyer is a man. The
higher the price he is auctioned for, the better or worse is his luck. In a dream,
the more loss the buyer incurs, the better it is for the traded subject and vice-
versa. There is also a difference between seeing oneself being auctioned and
being sold. Being auctioned in a dream means evil. To sell means to part with.
In a dream, the buyer is the seller and the seller is a buyer. Selling means giving
preference and value to the merchandise. If what is being sold is worldly, the
preference is then given to one’s benefits in the hereafter. Selling in a dream also
means exchanging one condition with another. However, bartering in a dream
means to exchange the benefit of things, or to share them. If for example one sees
himself in a dream trading something of no value for something precious, and
if he is a warrior, it means that he will die as a martyr. Selling a free man in
a dream means rotation of power and reaching a praiseworthy end. As it
happened in the story of Joseph son of Jacob, upon both of them be peace. (See

Entering Paradise
If one sees himself entering the heavenly paradise in a dream,
then his dream represents glad tidings that God willing, he shall enter it. If a
pilgrim sees himself entering paradise in a dream, it means that his pilgrimage
is accepted or that he will reach God’s House in Mecca. If he lacks faith in God
Almighty, it means that he will become a believer. If a believer who is bed-
stricken sees himself entering paradise in a dream, it means that he will die of
his illness. If a non-believer who is bed-stricken sees himself entering paradise
in a dream, it means that he will recover from his illness. If he is unwed, it means
that he will get married. If he is poor, it means that he will become rich or receive
an inheritance. If a sick person sees himself in the abode of the hereafter healthy
again in a dream, it means that he will reach it free from the ills of this world,
its adversities and temptations. If he is not sick, then entering the realms of the
hereafter means glad tidings, business success, a pilgrimage, ascetic detachment
from this world, sincere devotion, acquiring knowledge, strengthening of one’s
kinship or exercising patience toward a calamity which derives from one’s own
sins. If one sees himself entering the abode of the hereafter to visit and see
around, and should he be a person of good deeds and character who is a capable
person and who acts upon his knowledge, it means that he will be without work
or suffer from business losses. If he is scared of something, or if he is accused
of something, or if he is under stress, it means that his fears will dissipate.
Mostly, entering the abode of the hereafter in a dream means travels or
migration from one’s homeland. Thus, if one sees himself returning from a
journey to the hereafter in a dream, it means that he will return to his homeland.
Entering paradise in a dream means a pilgrimage to God’s House in Mecca.

If one undresses himself in a dream though not knowing whether he did
so for good or for an unlawful purpose, or if he strips himself from his clothing

means that his private life will be exposed and that he will be disgraced. If he
takes off his garment in public and does not feel ashamed of his nakedness in
a dream, it means that he will be credited for his honesty. If the person is sick
in real life, it means that he will recover. If he is indebted, it means that he will
repay his debts. If he is seized with fear, it means that he will regain his peace.
Nakedness in a dream also means injustice. Stripping a dead person of his

Ring
In a dream, a ring represents peace, tranquility, authority, a wife, a child,

a silver ring sees himself offering it as a gift to whoever he wishes in a dream,
it means that he will preside over an honorable post. Wearing the governor’s
ring in a dream means an appointment as a dignitary, or inheriting such a rank
from one’s father. If one’s father does not hold such a position, then it means the
opposite of one’s wishes. Finding a lost ring in a dream means earning money
from a foreign land, or having a new born son, or it could mean a marriage to
a righteous woman. If the stone of one’s ring seems unstable in the dream, it
means that one will be fired form his job. Removing one’s ring in a dream means
that one maybe removed from his job. If a woman sees herself removing her
wedding ring in a dream, it means the death of either her husband or of a close
relative. A ring in a dream also connotes a band, an encumbrance, or a shackle.
If one’s ring disappears and only the stone remains in the dream, it means that
once the responsibilities are gone, good memories of the person will remain. A
man wearing a golden ring in a dream represents innovation, and the results
will bring about afflictions, betrayal, or a revolt. Wearing a tight ring in the

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

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

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.

partnership or separates from his brothers, sisters and friends, or it could mean
that he may emigrate to another country. Otherwise, if he has already migrated
from his homeland, it means that he will return to it. Death in a dream has
positive connotation for someone in fear of something or a sad person or a sick
person. The death of one's brothers in a dream means the death of one's enemies,

something he left. If he looks beautiful, happy and well dressed in the dream,

Almighty. If he is sick in the dream, it means that he is answerable to God
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
dead people do not joke and have their own duties to respond to. If one's deceased
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

minister, a judge, a policeman, a man of knowledge, a preacher, a hypocrite, or
one’s own family and children. Seeing Satan in a dream also means villainy, dirt,
passion and sexual devilry. If one sees Satan attacking him in a dream, it means
that he earns his money from usury. If Satan touches him in a dream, it means
that someone is slandering or trying to deceive his wife. If one is sick or under
stress, and if he sees Satan touching him in a dream, it means that he will put
his hand on material wealth. If one is suffering from the consequences of devilry
while he recognizes his trials and remains steadfast in remembering God
Almighty and calling upon Him for help in a dream, it means that he has many
enemies tryingto deceive him or to destroy him, though they will eventually fail,
and in turn, they will be defeated by God’s leave. If one sees Satan following him
in a dream, it means that an enemy is pursuing him to deceive him, and
consequently one will lose his status, rank and the benefits of his knowledge.
If one sees himself inwardly talking with Satan in a dream, it means that he will
join hands with his own enemy, and his strike will be against the righteous
people, though he will ultimately fail. If one sees Satan teaching him something
in a dream, it means that he will fabricate a story, speak falsehood, or recite
poems filled with lies. If one sees that Satan has descended upon him in a dream,
it means that he engages in falsehood and sin. If one sees himself presiding over
a band of satans, controlling them, commanding them, and if they obey him in
the dream, it means that he will receive a seat of honor and he will be feared
by his friend and foes. If one ties Satan with chains in a dream, it means that
he will win victory in his life together with might and fame. If one sees himself
deceived by a group of satans in a dream, it means that he will suffer financial
losses or lose his job. If Satan strips someone from his clothing in a dream, it
means that the latter will lose a battle to an enemy. If one sees Satan whispering
something in his ear in dream, it means that he will be dismissed from his job.
If one sees himself defying and fighting Satan in a dream, it means that he is
a true and a strong believer who obeys his Lord and who holds fast to his
religious obligations. If Satan frightens him in a dream, it means that the latter
is a sincere deputy and a protege of God Almighty, and that God will safeguard
him from any fear of the accursed Satan or his army. If one sees a meteor or a
flame shooting at Satan in the skies in a dream, it means that there is an enemy
of God Almighty in that locality. If that person is a ruler, then his secrets will
be exposed, and if he is ajudge, it means that a just punishment will befall him
for his injustice. If one sees Satan happy in a dream, it means that he engages
in sensuality, passion and loathsome actions. In general, Satan is a weak enemy,
if one sees himself fighting him with resoluteness in a dream, it shows that he
is a religious and a pious person. If Satan swallows someone or penetrates inside
his body in dream, it means a fright, losses and sufferings. Satan in a dream also
represents builders or ocean divers who work as spies. Seeing them in a dream
also could mean backbiting or slandering. If one sees himself as a Satan in a

summertime, and if he is used to doing so, it means benefits, comfort, or
recovering from a migraine headache. If one sees his hair shaved during the
winter in a dream, it means difficulties, adversities, penalties, or a sickness.
Shaving one’s head in a dream also means paying one’s dues, appeasement of
one’s fears, and success in one’s life. Shortening one’s hair in a dream also means
appeasing his fears. If one is suffering from depression and he sees his head
shaved in a dream, it means an end to his trouble, or payment of his debts. It
also means abasement, disgrace, deception, or death. If a soldier sees his head
shaved in a dream, it means that he will lose his strength and esteem. If one sees
himself chipping his hair in bits in a dream, it means that he will lose people’s
respect. Shaving one’s head in a dream for someone who does not usually shave
it also may mean an affliction or an illness. If a woman sees her head shaved
in a dream, it means divorce, or the death of her husband. If she sees her hair
sheared in a dream, it means confinement to her house. If she sees her husband
giving her a beautiful haircut and talking to her affectionately in a dream, it

women’s hair in a dream means inability to conceive children. Cutting one’s hair
in a dream means losing one’s strength. Shaving half of one’s beard in a dream
means losing one’s source of income and dignity. Plucking out one’s facial hair

also could depict amelioration of one’s condition or look. Shaving one’s backside
or abdomen in a dream means paying one’s debts. Shaving, clipping, or adjusting
one’s moustache in a dream means lighteningone’s burdens, though it also could
represent a mishap. If a rich person sees himself shaving his pubic hair or using

or it could mean that he has overpaid for a property he has just purchased. If
a poor person sees that, it means that he will become financially solvent. If one
sees himself shaving it with a razor blade, it represents benefits from one’s

mean religious innovation. A long and an ugly looking moustache in a dream
means difficulties, sorrows, distress, becoming an alcoholic, refusing to surrender
to others what belongs to them, or refusing to pay charity, or pretending to

Air
Standing in the air in a dream means being honored or acknowledged by a
governor, though it will not last. If one has exaggerated hopes, arrogance, pride,
or if he is a self-centered individual, then his floating in the air represents mere
disturbed dreams. Walking in the air without ascending or descending in a
dream means receiving dignity, honor and earning lawful money. If one does not
qualify for it, then walking in the air in his dream means travels. Hanging in
the air between the heavens and the earth in a dream represents a concerned
heart and uncertainty about what to do! Falling in the air in a dream means
despair or loss of status in wakefulness. Falling in a dream also means relief
from distress, wantonness, or satisfying one’s needs. Clear, fresh and pure air
in a dream represents a good time to take a trip for business or pleasure. Air
in a dream also represents one’s desire and passion. Thus, disobeying one’s
mind, desire and passion in a dream means entering the heavenly paradise.
Following one’s desires in a dream means negligence of once religious duties.
Standing up in the air and speaking loud in a dream means blessings, favors,
money, honor and fame. Sitting in the air in a dream means arrogance and self-
deception regarding religious opinions. Building a house up in the air or placing
a mat in the air or raising a tent in the air means death of a sick person, and
what is built in this case is one’s own coffin. If a governor sees that dream, it
means his dismissal from his office or his death. Seeing that dream after a
wedding or after having marital relations with one’s wife means mistrust and
loss. It also means involvement in an uncouth action, lacking knowledge of the
Holy Book and prophetic traditions, because what one has built lacks a foun- dation. Flying in the air in a dream may mean travels. Flying with wings in a
dream has stronger connotations and is safer. The wings here will represent
money or power. Swimming in the air means benefits or business travels. If the
air looks opaque in one’s eyes, so he cannot see the skies in his dream, it means
problems with one’s superior. If one does not have a boss, then it means that he
may lose his sight. If all the people witnessed the air opaque or red in the dr earn,
then it means a major calamity and a trying adversity. (Also see Ascending in
the Skies; Flying)

Taking an ablution and completing it by giving careful attention to
details in a dream means fulfilling one’s needs. Taking a second ablution to
perform one’s prayers without the ritual need to do so in a dream means increase
in one’s light. Taking ablution with milk or honey in a dream means debts.
Ablution is a proper deed in all religions. It is a guard, a clemency, assurance
of the divine protection and immunity from punishment. Taking an ablution to
perform one’s prayers in a dream means entering under God’s protection against
what one may fear. It is reported in the traditions that God Almighty has said
to Moses, upon whom be peace: “When you are seized by fear, take your ablution
and direct your family to enter the sacrament of prayers.” Washing one’s body
in a dream is either performed in preparation for prayers or to wash away
impurities. Taking ablution inside a tunnel, or taking a complete ritual bath in
a dream means recovering a stolen object. Taking one’s ablution and engaging
in prayers in a dream means relief from distress and offering thanks to God
Almighty for His protection and guidance. If a merchant sees himself praying
without ablution in a dream, it means that he has entered into a business
venture without capital. If a worker sees that dream, it means that he has no
home to shelter him. If a ruler sees that dream, it means that he has no soldiers
to protect him. If a sick person sees himself taking ablution while in bed in a
dream, it means separation from his wife or a close friend. Taking ablution
inside one’s house in a dream means that one will move to a new house. Taking

means a scandal, loss and a curse. Taking ablution at the seashore or in a proper
ablution area in a dream means dispelling one’s fear, sorrow or distress. Taking
ablution while standing over a friend’s head in a dream means inheriting him.
Seeing a friend taking his ablution over one’s head in a dream means suffering
harm or a scandal that will be caused by such a friend. Taking ablution in a
dream also means dispelling fears, recovering from an illness, paying one’s
debts or repenting from sin. Taking ablution with hot water in a dream means
falling sick. Wanting to take ablution and failing to find the proper means to
perform it in a dream means failure of a project or facing adversities. (Also see
