Olives
(Blessed tree) In a dream, olives represent money, pleasures, or one’s
prosperity. An olive tree in a dream represents a blessed man who benefits his
family, a chaste woman, or it could mean a son who may become a governor. A
yellow olive in a dream represents heavy concerns about one’s religious life. If one
presses olives for oil in a dream, it means that he will earn blessings and benefits.
If one sees himself watering an olive tree with olive oil in a dream, it means that
he sleeps with his mother. The same interpretation applies if one sees himself
watering a garden with vinegar. If one buys an olive tree, or eats from one, or
drinks from its oil in a dream, it means blessings, or that he will marry a noble
and a chaste woman. Seeing the leaves of an olive tree in a dream means following
the straight path, or fulfilling one’s spiritual obligations, guidance, light, reading
the Quran, comforting someone’s heart, making money for a poor person, except
if one eats the olive raw in the dream, then it means the opposite, or it implies
poverty, indebtedness, or it could denote the place, or the direction it comes from.
The leaves of an olive tree represent righteous people or spiritual leaders. The
fruit of an olive tree represents easy money, or living a rich and a happy life.
Selecting olives or pressing them for oil in a dream means toiling, or hardships.
As for a sick person, olives in a dream mean regaining strength and recovering
from his illness. The fruit itself and the leaves also denote assiduousness and
resoluteness, however, olives in a dream also denote slow growing. (Also see Oil)

Orthopedist
(Bonesetter) An orthopedist who corrects skeletal deformities and sets
broken bones in a dream represents a pious governor who governs with justice,
teaches righteousness, balances substances and conforms to equanimity. Seeing
an orthopedist in a dream also means presumptuousness, might and audacity. He
also represents officiousness, adroitness and resoluteness, for he discards the
deficient and brings together what is broken. Seeing an orthopedist in a dream
also means distress and trouble. He also represents an architect, and an architect
represents an orthopedist in a dream. Thus, seeing him in a dream also means
construction and could represent a generous person who comforts, accommodates
and helps a needy person, or a wise man who comforts the broken hearts, a just
judge, a great scholar, a shoe repairman, or a tailor. If one sees himself standing
before an orthopedist in a dream because of a broken bone or another fracture and
then complains about an abscess in his neck, and if the orthopedist opens that
abscess with pliers to drain the puss in the dream, then it represents a debt one
has to repay, or a votive offering one has to fulfill, or it could mean giving a
testimony in court, or accepting the ruling of a scholar. If an orthopedist sets one’s
broken right arm and ties it to his neck in a dream, it means that someone will
oblige him to do him a personal favor and consequently deprive him from
attending other duties, or restrain him from serving other charities. The same
interpretation is given for a broken leg.

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.

distress, payment of debts, or feeling relief. In a dream, a good rain means

dream also represent mercy from God Almighty, a helping hand, knowledge,

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

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.
