Cloud of smoke
(Adversities; Fight; Pollution) In a dream, seeing a cloud of heavy
smoke over a town represents a calamity from God Almighty or a harsh
punishment of a ruler. However, if one sees smoke coming out of his house in
a dream, it means that he will be defamed, or that he will be struck by a severe
illness, an injury or a fever that will result from his work or place of business.
He will then recuperate from his illness, regain the upper hand and turn things
around. If the smoke is caused by a fire or rises to spread from under a cooking
pot in a dream, it means joy after distress and prosperity after poverty. If the
smoke has no burning odor in the dream, it means an atrocity or an ugly
experience which will be followed by exposure and defamation. If one sees
himself shaded under a cloud of smoke in a dream, it means that he will suffer
from a high fever. If one suffers from the heat of smoke in a dream, it means
difficulties and distress. If one sees clouds of smoke gathering over the hills in
a dream, it means that a great scare will befall the people of that locality. If the
smoke is not caused by a fire in the dream, it represents the stationing of an
army though no war will take place. However, the impact of such fear will have
its effects on everyone. If the smoke causes harm to the people and affect their
sights or limits their vision in the dream, it means injustice, depression,
adversities, pain and suffering from a divine punishment for people’s sins.
Smoke in a dream also means news from the direction it comes from. (Also see
Smoke; Sparks)

Clouds
(Concealment; Gloom; Dream; Life; Rains; Skies; Soldiers; Sufferings;
Vapor; Water) In a dream, clouds represent the course of life which provides
people with rainwater to drink, water to wash their dirt, water for their crops
and sustenance. Clouds in a dream also represent knowledge, understanding,
wisdom, clarity as they show the divine kindness. Clouds in a dream also
represent an army or friends who carry the water and the water represents life
and the original element from which they were created. Clouds in a dream also
represent ships, airplanes, or if they are black or carry stones or bring thunder,
then they represent the antagonistic character of a leader who deprives his
people from their rights or causes them to suffer through restrictive laws or
harsh mandates. If one sees a cloud inside his house or descending upon him in
his room in a dream, it means that he will join the company of believers or
receives an award, or that he is endowed with wisdom, or should he wish for a
child, his wife will conceive one. If he is a merchant, it means that his
merchandise will arrive to its port of destination. If one sees himself riding over
a cloud in a dream, it means exaltation or marriage to a pious woman, or that
one will attend a pilgrimage should it be his wish. Otherwise, should he wish
for it, he will become renowned for his knowledge and wisdom. Should he
qualify, it means that he will lead an army, or that he will rise in rank, or that
he will be sent as an emissary of his government or as an ambassador. If people
are expecting clouds to water their farms, and should one see masses of clear
clouds carrying rains and coming in that direction in the dream, it means a
calamity. If the clouds carry poisonous rains or acid rains or polluted rains, or
if they are driven by heavy winds, or if they carry fires or dust or ashes or rocks
from a volcano, they mean that a calamity will strike that locality, or that they
will receive news about travellers the majority of whom will perish during a trip.
Clouds also mean innovations and man made religions that may spread throughout
the land. If one sees himself merging with the clouds in a dream, it means that
he associates himself with a person in authority or a wise man or a man of
knowledge. If one sees himself eating clouds in his dream, it means that he will
gain lawfully earned money from such a person, or that perhaps he may gain
wisdom. If one sees himself amassing clouds in a dream, it means that he will
learn wisdom at the hand of a close associate. If one sees himself mixing with
the clouds but does not carry anything out of them in a dream, it means that he
will mix with people of knowledge and learn nothing from what they say, or
practice nothing of what they teach. If one sees himself riding over the clouds
in a dream, it means that he may become famous for his wisdom and knowledge.
If one sees his own son turned into a cloud in a dream, it means that he earns
his livelihood from teaching wisdom or religious knowledge to others. Black clouds
in a dream mean wisdom, forbearance, honesty and joy. If the black clouds also
carry a threat or cause fear in the dream, it means that one will be reprimanded
by such a wise person. If one sees himself building a house over a cloud in a
dream, it means that he lives an honest life, earns lawful money and lives his
life with wisdom and integrity. If one builds a palace over a cloud in a dream,
it means that through his wisdom, he avoids committing sins. It also means that
he prospers from such a wisdom or builds a palace in paradise with his deeds.
If one sees a cloud in his hand and rain falling from it in a dream, it denotes the
wisdom he speaks. If one turns into a rainy cloud in a dream, it means that he
lives wealthy and benefits people from his money. If one turns into a cloud that
rains gold in a dream, it means that he will learn wisdom from a great man.
Clouds in a dream also represent the people in authority who do others favors
and ask for no reward. If one hears a human sound calling him from behind a
cloud in a dream, it means that God willing he will attend a pilgrimage. ( See
Invisible caller). A black cloud in a dream also represents a just judge, while a
white cloud represents a blessed and a noble justice. Clouds in season in a dream
represent benefits, profits and prosperity. A mass of black clouds carrying no
rain in a dream mean benefits, extreme cold, sadness or sorrow. Red clouds in
a dream mean distress, adversities or a sickness. A cloud covering a town in a
dream means blessings. If the person who sees such black clouds in his dream
is intending to take a trip, it will take place, though his safety cannot be insured.
On the other hand, if he is unhappy about something, then if he sees such a
dream, it means that his sorrow will be dispelled. White clouds in a dream are
a sign of work, a job or business. Rising fog in a dream means taking a journey,
or returning from one. Red clouds in a dream means lack of work. A gloomy cloud
in a dream means stress. If one sees clouds welcoming him in a dream, it means
glad tidings. If he is an evil person, it means a calamity and a chastisement for
his sins. If one sees clouds covering the sun in a dream, it means that the ruler
of that land is ill. If one sees himself wearing a shirt of clouds in a dream, it
means blessings that God Almighty has favored him with. Clouds in a dream
also represent virtues, miracles, favors, rains, love and blessings, because they
also appear when a prophet or a saint pray for rain or to shelter a blessed person
from the heat of the sun. Clouds in a dream also mean travel by sea or air.

Destruction
(Admonition; Cave in; Earthquake; Harvest; Violation) In a dream,
destruction means dispersion of people, or it could mean death. Destruction in
a dream also means the leveling of a town or the death of its ruler or it could

suffering from the persecution of people one cannot bear. Seeing a city destroyed
by an earthquake in a dream represents the carrying of a death sentence for
someone there, or it could mean violation of people’s rights or freedom in that
town. If one sees an entire town being destroyed with its urban area, factories
and fields in a dream, it means that the people of that town have gone astray,
or that its leaders are struck with calamities. On the other hand, if one sees it
flourishing in a dream, then it reflects the spiritual awareness and religious
devotion of its people. (Also see Collapsing walls; Cloud of destruction)

Fart
(Breaking wind; Passing gas; Foolishness; Wind) Passing gas in a dream
means hearing or speaking vile words, or suffering from adversities, or it could
mean dispersing a group of people, telling a shocking news, stupidity, belittling
people, lies, using insulting words, or it could represent the sound that could
emanate from beating someone. If one breaks wind with a loud sound in a dream,
it means that he will address someone with harsh words. If one sees himself
sitting with people and unwillingly passes gas or breaks wind in a dream, it
means that his difficulties, sorrows or stress will be dispelled, though with
horridness and repulsiveness. If one breaks wind intentionally in such a
gathering in a dream, then it means committing an evil act and suffering from
its consequences. If one passes gas without noise in his dream, it means that he
will receive a sarcastic commendation that matches the smell of his fart. If one
breaks wind in a dream while sitting with a group of people who are experiencing
difficulties, it means that their difficulties will be dispelled, and their suffering
will ease. If they are merchants, it means that their merchandise will move
faster. If one forces himself to break wind in a dream, it means that he will carry
a burden greater than he can bear. If one breaks wind along with passing gas
in his dream, it means that he will attain success in his life, and he will receive
honor and profits from an important business trip. However, it is possible that
his interests will become diverse, or that he could lose his focus, then he will
return home free from such burdens. To fart from the mouth in a dream means
faltering or a slip of a tongue, an accident, suffering from gum irritation, a stroke
that will affect one’s speech, or it could mean developing ill habits that will cause
him to feel ashamed of himself in public.

Tent
(Canopy; Pavilion) In a dream, a tent means travels, a grave, a wife or a
house. A camp of tents in a dream represents clouds. If a tent is raised over
someone, and if he is a merchant, it means that his business will grow. If he is
a soldier, it means that he will rise in rank. If he is unwed, it means that he will
get married. If one sees a white tent raised beside his tent in a dream, it
represents a righteous person who commands what is good and forbids what is
evil. It also means that he will repent for a hideous sin. If one sees the moon
inside his tent in a dream, it means that he will illicit sexual intercourse with
a boy or with a young girl from a noble family. Seeing unknown white or green
tents in a valley represent the graves of martyrs. (Also see Canopy; Pavilion)

wealthy people to make his commission by advising them to place their money
into bad investments. If a sick person sees termites inside his house or clinging
to his skin in a dream, it also means his death. If one sees termites eating his
wooden door, table orbed in a dream, they mean an illness. Termites in a dream

Skies
(Castle; Child; Firmament; Heavens; House; Mother; Oath; Ocean; Prison;
Teacher; Town; Wife; Wonders) In a dream, the sky represents itself. Whatever
descends from it or comes from that direction in a dream will materialize. If fire
falls from the sky over people’s homes in a dream, it means plagues, illness,
pleurisy, smallpox, or death and destruction. If fire falls over the marketplace
in the dream, it means higher prices. If it falls over the fields and farmlands in
the dream, it means that the crops could either burn, freeze, or be struck by a
swarm of locusts or by other harmful insects. If what falls from the sky indicates
prosperity, such as honey, oil, figs, barley, or money, etcetera, in the dream, it
means a good rain and a good harvest for that year. Whatever falls from the sky
of good or bad may represent the government and the hardships it inflicts upon
the people, or the benefits it may bring them. Climbing to the sky with a rope,
a ladder, or using a staircase in a dream means exaltation, rising in station, good
luck and support. If one climbs without a common medium in a dream, it means
fear and arrogance. If his intention in climbing is to spy on others in the dream,
it means that he may work as a spy. If one descends safely from the sky in the
dream, it means that he will escape and be spared the consequences of his sin.
If he falls and breaks or fractures a bone or so in the dream, it means that he
may suffer such accident in wakefulness. If a sick person sees himself climbing
to the sky, and if he does not return to earth in the dream, it means that he may
die from his illness. If he comes back in the dream, it means that his illness will
increase and his difficulties will reach their peak, though God willing, he will
recover from his illness, unless he falls into a hole in a dream. In that case the
hole represents his grave. If one sees the sky shooting arrows causing people
wounds, injuries and bleeding in a dream, it means taxes and confiscation of
properties by the government. If the arrows hit people’s ears and eyes only in
the dream, it means that major trials and temptations will strike at everyone.
If the arrows fall without causing harm to anyone, and if people rush to collect
them in the dream, they represent a booty that people will come to win, or a
divine gifts people will enjoy. To rise close to the sky in a dream means nearness
to one’s Lord. This is particularly true for pious people and for true believers.
Nearing the sky in a dream also represents a supplication needing an immediate
answer, and God willing such prayers will be answered. Nearing the sky in a
dream also could mean going before the governor of one’s town, or any person
from whom one may need something, i.e., a teacher, a man of knowledge, a
father, or a wife. If one sees the sky falling over his head in a dream, it means
that the roof of his house may cave in, or that he will die from an illness he
already suffers. If one sees himself climbing and entering the sky in a dream,
it means that he will die as a martyr. If one sees himself standing in the sky in
a dream, it means that he will command or admonish others. If one sees himself
in the sky looking down at something on earth in a dream, it means that he will
rise in station, then he will regret something he missed. If one sees the sky green
in a dream, it means prosperity and a good harvest. If one sees the sky turned
into iron in a dream, it means drought or scarcity of rain. If one falls from the
sky in a dream, it means that he may abandon his faith, become a reprobate,
or that he may be struck with a major calamity that will be driven by an unjust
person. If the iron sky splits open, and if an old man appears from behind it in
the dream, such an old person represents the grandfather of the people of that
town or tribe. Consequently, people will enjoy a good harvest, prosperity and
happiness. If it is a young man that appears in the dream, then he represents
an enemy and an evil that may befall the people following such dream. If a sheep
appears from the sky in a dream, then it means profits. If camels appear, then
they represent rain. If a lion appears in the dream, it represents an unjust ruler.
If the sky becomes one solid piece in the dream, it means drought. If it rips apart
and its doors become wide open in the dream, then it means rain or an answer
to people’s prayers. If one sees himself reaching out and touching the sky in a
dream, it means that he is seeking an important goal, and that he will fail to
attain it. If one sees himself rising near the lower heavens in a dream, it means
worldly gains, or profits and status in either material or spiritual realms. If one
looks toward the sky, whether to the East or to the West in a dream, it means
travels. If one sees himself stealing the sky and hiding it in ajar in a dream, it
means that he may steal a copy of the holy Quran and hides it with his wife.
If one sees the sky wide open in a dream, it means blessings and benefits. If one
sees himself rising toward the sky in a fiat posture in a dream, it means that
he will become emaciated, or suffer losses in his business. On the other hand,
if one sees himself rising without difficulty and without being laid on his back
in a dream, it means exaltation, success and safety from any harm that could
be driven by one’s enemies. If one bites the sky in a dream, it means that a
calamity will strike at him, or it could mean business losses, failure to attain
one’s goals, or an argument with one’s superior at work. If one sees himself
touring the sky then returning to earth in a dream, it means that he may become
an astronomer, or an astrologer and gain fame in his field. If one sees himself
leaning his back to the sky in a dream, it means that he may win a leadership
position, or win victory over his opponents. If one sees himself in the sky having
a form different than that of human beings in a dream, it means that he may
leave this world unblessed. If one sees himself hanging down with a rope from
the sky in a dream, it means that he will govern after someone else’s, or inherit
his post. However, if the rope breaks in the dream, it means that he may lose
such an opportunity. If one sees a lighted candle in the sky which luster and
brightness dims the light of the sun in a dream, it represents a solar eclipse. If
one sees the sky being build in his presence in a dream, it means that he lies
in his testimonies. Falling from the sky in a dream also could be a warning
against falling into sin. Falling from the sky in a dream with one’s head down
means longevity. If one sees himself in the sky but could not remember when
did he enter it in a dream, it means that God willing he is already in paradise.
If one sees radiance, or scintillating rays of light coming through the sky in a
dream, it means guidance. If he sees dark clouds coming through the sky in a
dream, it means that he could stray from God’s path. If he sees a scourge
descending from the sky in a dream, it means that plagues and adversities will
befall the people as a chastisement for their sins, or for crimes they have
committed. As for gnostics and people of knowledge, seeing the sky in a dream
means clarity, vision, placing one’s interests in heavenly matters, or travelling
to distant lands, or engaging in importing and exporting goods. Climbing into
the sky in a dream also means falsehood, false beliefs, lies, or talking about God
Almighty without the proper knowledge or guidance. Climbing into the sky in
a dream also could mean seeking one’s livelihood, satisfying one’s needs, or
fulfilling a promise. Skies in a dream also represent the ocean because of their
vastness and the countless number of creation living therein, or they could
represent the ripening of fruits, or the conclusion of one’s work, or they could
represent one’s helmet, armor, wife, money, religion, death, or they could
indicate slander and falsehood against someone who descends from them after
being raised, and they could mean making peace with one’s enemies, or they
could represent the shares allotted for each one of God’s creation, the good and
the bad, people’s sustenance and that of beasts, gains, losses, blessings or
afflictions. (Also see Ascending in the skies; Celestial spheres; Heavens; Star)
Skin inflammation: (Thinning; Shedding one’s skin) If one sees his skin thinned
or inflamed between his legs in a dream, it means that he will marry a rich
woman who will give him her wealth. If one sees himself shedding his skin or
skinning himself in a dream, it means money he will part with, and if he is sick,
it means his death. (Also see Dry skin; Skin)

Rain
(Clouds; Drizzling; Life; Vapor; Water) If no harm or destruction is caused
by a rainstorm in a dream, then it means blessings, profits and mercy. Rain in
a dream also represents life, an earthly being, or fulfillment of a promise. If the
rain falls exclusively on a particular location in a dream, it means sorrow and
distress for its dwellers, or it could mean the loss of a beloved. If one sees rain
falling exclusively over his house in a dream, it means personal blessings.
Otherwise, it he sees it falling over the whole town in the dream, it means
blessings for everyone. Rain falling exclusively over one’s house in a dream also
means that someone will fall sick in that house, or suffer from a debilitating and
excruciating pain. If the skies rain stones or blood in a dream, it means
calamities and punishment for people’s sins. If it rains dust or sand in a dream,
it represents an unjust ruler in that locality. If the skies rain dirt without dust,
it also means prosperity and a good harvest. If a traveller sees rain in a dream,
it means hindrances along his journey. A destructive rainstorm in a dream
denotes dishonesty, cheating with measures, or the spread of sodomy in the
community. Seeing a destructive rainstorm tearing down structures, destroying
homes and pulling down tress in a dream represents a punishment for the
corruption and sins of the dwellers of that place. A good rain in a dream could
mean reconciliation with one’s enemy, or it could mean helping a needy person.
Rain in a dream also represents a caravan of camels, and a caravan of camels
in a dream represents rain. A good rain in a dream also means prosperity,
happiness, refilling wells with rainwater, the gushing forth of springs with
sweet, fresh and pure waters. Rain in a dream also means reviving an old and
a stagnant matter, or it could mean benefits, profits, blessings, relief from
distress, payment of debts, or feeling relief. In a dream, a good rain means
blessings, a good harvest and profits for a farmer. If the skies rain honey, butter,
oil, or food people like in the dream, it means blessings for everyone. Rain in a
dream also represent mercy from God Almighty, a helping hand, knowledge,
wisdom, the Quran, rejuvenation, revival, resurrection and life. If one sees
himself standing under a cover, a roof, or behind a wall to take shelter from a
rainfall in a dream, it means that he may suffer because of someone slandering
him. If the rain falls in season in one’s dream, it means roadblock barring
travels, business losses, inability to get medicine for a sick person because of
one’s poverty, or it could mean imprisonment. If one washes himself in the rain,
or takes a ritual ablution to perform his prayers, or washes his face with it, or
washes away filth in a dream, it means repentance from sin, receiving spiritual
guidance, or abolishing religious innovations and polytheism from one’s heart.
If he is poor, it means that God Almighty will enrich him and satisfy his needs,
or if he needed something from a ruler or a governor, it means that his request
will be answered favorably. Drinking from rainwater and if it is clear and pure
in the dream, it means receiving blessings and benefits. If the water is dirty and
polluted in the dream, it means a sickness. (Also see Water)

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

partnerships, securities, or mixing capitals. Seeing it in the position of Virgo
in a dream is good for health and fitness oriented people. Seeing the moon in the
position of Libra in a dream means water loss for a pregnant woman. Seeing
the moon in the position of Scorpio in a dream means benefits for health

Capricorn in a dream is a bad sign for construction or laying a foundation to
a structure, or for starting a business. Seeing the moon in the position of
Aquarius in a dream means bad time for sending messages or engaging in any
enterprise. Seeing the moon in the position of Pisces in a dream is good for
contracts and receiving a leadership position. If one sees the sun, the moon and
all the planets assembled before him, and together they all produced a radiant
and a magnificent light in a dream, it means that one’s words are respected by
people in authority. If the stars and the planets have no light in the dream, then
they mean a calamity. In a dream, seeing a sun and a moon on one’s right side
and the same on his left side, above him, in front of him and behind him means
a calamity and a defeat that will force one to retreat or to escape but to no avail.

Minaret
(Spiritual guide; Letter carrier; Lighthouse; Minaret of a mosque) In a
dream, the minaret of a mosque represents a righteous man who fosters unity
and love between people, who calls them to live by their religious covenant and
guides them on the path of God Almighty. If a minaret is demolished in a dream,
it represents the death of such a spiritual guide, fading of his name, dispersal
of his community, and perhaps it could lead to the reversal of their conditions.
The minaret of the city’s central mosque in a dream represents a letter carrier,
or a guide calling people to God’s path. Falling down from the top of a minaret
into a well in a dream means marrying a strong minded woman who uses
vicious expressions, when one already has a pious wife with whom he enjoys
peace and tranquility. It also means losing one’s authority or control. Climbing
a wooden minaret and calling people to prayers in a dream means attaining
authority and rising in station through hypocrisy. Sitting alone on the top of
a minaret, praising God’s glory and glorifying His oneness in a dream means
becoming famous, while the loud glorifications mean that one’s distress and
sorrow will be lifted by God’s leave. The minaret of a mosque in a dream also
represents the chief minister of the ruler, or it could represent the muezzin.

dream also means ambiguity, dubiousness, tangle or doubt. Fog in a dream also

Collapsing walls
If one sees the walls of his house collapsing as a result of a flood
in a dream, it means the death of his wife. If one sees his house caving in on him
and causing a big cloud of dust in a dream, it means that he maybe afflicted with
measles. A collapsed ceiling in a dream means devastation. If one sees a
destroyed house standing erect anew in a dream, it means spiritual awakening
of its owner. If one is awaiting the return of a member of his family, or if he is
awaiting a guest to arrive, and if a part of his house caves in, it means the near
arrival of such a traveller. If a daughter or a sister or another woman live in that
house, it means that the guest will seek her hand for marriage. If a hurricane
destroys his entire house in a dream, it means that death will take locality in
that place at the hands of a tyrant. If one sees himself demolishing an old house
or edifice in a dream, it means evil. If a woman sees her walls caving in on her
in a dream, it means the death of her husband. (Also see Destruction)

Well
In a dream, a well inside one’s house means prosperity, riches, a wife,
business, a teacher, poverty, deception, fulfillment of one’s needs, travels, goals,
stinginess, generosity, or it could mean a servant. The structural condition of
each well in a dream has its own interpretation. A well in a dream also represent
a woman who has a loud laughter, or it could represent a pleasant and an in¬
spiring woman. If a woman sees a well in a dream, it means meeting a man of
good character. If one sees himself looking into a well in a dream, it means that
he is thinking about a particular woman for marriage. A well in a dream is also
interpreted to represent knowledge, marriage, a big man, prison, ties, or
deception. If one digs a well and finds water in it in his dream, it means that
he will marry a wealthy woman whom he will deceive. If the water gushes forth,
rises and runs outside of an old well in the dream, it represents crying and grief
in that place. Digging a well and finding water to channel for one’s garden in
a dream means taking an herbal remedy to cure one’s impotence, or to save his
marriage. Falling into a well of muddy waters in a dream means that one may
become subject to the tyranny of an unjust ruler. If the water he falls into is clear
in the dream, it means that he will willingly work to serve a righteous man and
for a nominal wage. Falling into a well in a dream also means demotion, or it
could mean travels. Sitting at the edge of a well in a dream means dealing with
a deceiving person. A collapsed well in a dream represents a dying woman.
Reaching a well which is dug for the general public to draw from its water means
getting relief after suffering from difficulties. Finding a well adjacent to a
barmaid in a dream means finding a spiritual teacher, or joining a fellowship
and a school for the seekers. If one sees the well of Zamzam quenching the thirst
of people in a particular neighborhood other than Mecca in a dream, it means
that a gnostic will come to that town, and whose knowledge and wisdom will
greatly benefit its people. It also may denote the bounty and blessings which are
imparted to that town, or it could denote the victory of its people over their real
enemy. Drinking from such a well in a dream means fulfillment of one’s
intentions and satisfaction of his needs. In a dream, a well also means a prison
or depression. If one is in such a state, it means that his adversities will
dissipate, and that he will reestablish himself in the circles of people in
authority. If the person in the dream is a seer who predicts events, then he may
be involved in the circles of governors, particularly to interpret their dreams.
It is possible that he also might receive emissaries of notable people who will
bring him what pleases him. It also could mean a fight in one’s family involving
jealousy, envy, betrayal, though at the end one will triumph over them. Falling
into a well in a dream also means being indicted in an alleged crime from which
one is clearly innocent. A well in a dream is also interpreted as levying taxes,
or it could mean circumcision. Digging a well in a dream also represents a crafty
and an artful deceiver.

Dust
In a dream, dust signifies money. Seeing a cloud of dust in a dream means
a mysterious happening no one knows how to get out of it. Washing one’s hands
from dust in a dream means becoming poor. Dust that accumulates after a
rainstorm or a thunderstorm and lightning in a dream means drought or
adversities. A cloud of dust which is produced from a brisk movement of a car
or a horse in a dream means controlling one’s affairs, indulging in falsehood or
enticing trouble. Dusting one’s store and throwing the dirt on the sidewalk in
a dream means business losses. If a merchant sees his merchandises covered
with dust in a dream, it means depression and unsalability of his merchandise.

Vapor
In a dream, vapor represents a symptom of cataract that makes one’s eye
cloudy and obscures his sight. If during the summer one sees vapor exhaling
from his mouth in a dream, which is a common phenomena in cold weather, it
means an internal disease, or exposing one’s secrets. If the person in question
in such a dream is a believer on the path, he may become heedless. If he is a man
of knowledge, he may invent a provoking trend. On the other hand, vapor in a
dream may imply falsehood, lies and idle talk. (Also see Clouds)

Odor
Smelling a bad odor in a dream means hearing bad words, or it could mean
distress. Smelling odor that emanates from under the armpit in a dream means
headache, nasal congestions, cold, or hearing bad news, divulging secrets, dis¬
pelling rancor and jealousy, or it could mean relaxing after an exhausting
workday, contracting an eye disease, or it could mean loathsomeness. If a child
smells such an odor from under his armpit in his dream, it means that he has
reached his puberty, or it could mean an illness or an accident that could take
away his life. (Also see Cloud of smoke; Perspiration; Smell)

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)
