Mental hospital
(Insane asylum; Hell-fire; Lunatics; Prison) In a dream, a mental
hospital or an insane asylum represents a bathhouse, or a sauna which is the
dwelling of evil spirits, the place of uncovering one’s private parts, or showing
unpleasant conduct in public. A mental hospital in a dream also represents a
training school, caring for children’s education, teaching children to behave
themselves, a place of learning, a school, a playground, a place of clamor and
noise, using vile words, stealing money, or separation from one’s family and
children. If a deceased person is seen in a mental hospital in a dream, it means
that he is dwelling in hell-fire, for a mental hospital sometime uses force with
its patients and ties them up, or imprisons them. If one sees himself in a mental
hospital in a dream, it means that he might go to jail for a crime he committed.
Mixing with lunatics and insane people in a dream also means imprisonment
and mixing with criminals, or it could mean falling sick, or dying from a terminal
illness. If a poor person sees himself inside a mental hospital in a dream, it
means financial success, receiving outside help, comfort and joy in his life. (Also
see Insanity)

Prison
(Cage) Imprisonment in a dream means benefits, money and comfort. It
also could mean the reversal of one’s condition for the worst. Becoming a
prisoner in a dream also could mean making unnecessary and wasted efforts to
unveil a secret. In general, prison in a dream means difficulties and humiliation.
If one sees a known personality or a government administrator imprisoned or
jailed, it could mean the same. If one sees himself incarcerated in a large prison
in a dream, it means that he will stand before a strong person who will delegate
an important responsibility to him, and from which he will gain spiritual
advancement. If he is incarcerated in an unknown jail which is built from plaster
in a dream, then it represents his grave. If one sees himself locked and tied-up
inside a house in a dream, it means a positive advancement in his life. If in such
a place one sees himself being tortured in a dream, it means that his benefits
and profits will be greater. If a woman sees herself imprisoned in a dream, it
means that she will marry an important person or an older person. If in one’s
dream the prison is administered by a religious authority, it means that one
correctly prescribes to his religion. If it is a civil prison, then it means adver¬
sities, sufferings and distress caused by hypocrisy and by blaming others. An
unknown prison in a dream means the world. A prison in a dream also
represents an ill-natured wife, a difficult cause, silence, or controlling one’s
tongue, the perfidy of one’s enemy, accusations, allegations, associating with
rich people, one’s grave, suspension of travels because of an illness, losing one’s
drive, poverty, or unhappiness. Entering a prison in a dream also means
longevity, or reuniting with one’s beloved. If one chooses to live in a sanctuary
away from people in a dream, it means that he will be protected from sin. If a
sick person leaves his prison cell in a dream, it means that he will recover from
his illness. If a prisoner sees the gates of his jail open, or if there is a hole in the
wall, or a ray of light, or if the ceiling of one’s prison disappears and he can see
the skies and stars above him, or if he can see them through the walls of his cell
in a dream, it means that he will escape from jail. A prison in a dream also
represents the safe return of a traveller, or the death of a sick person. If one sees
himself imprisoned and tide-up by someone in authority in a dream, it repre¬
sents adversities he wishes for them to be removed. Walking out of such an
imprisonment in a dream means relief from such adversities If one is travelling,
it means that he is a heedless, and if he is sick, it means that his sickness is a
prolonged one. It is also said that imprisonment in a dream may mean that one’s
prayers are answered and that his difficulties and distress will be removed. If
one sees himself incarcerated in an unknown jail of an unknown location and
whose dwellers have uncommon appearance in a dream, such a prison then
represents his grave. If a sick person sees himself walking out of an unknown
prison, or out of a tiny house into a large open space in a dream, it means that
he will recover from his illness and fully enjoy his life. If one sees himself
incarcerated in a prison he does not recognize in a dream, it means that he will
marry a woman through whom he will prosper and have children. If one sees
himself tied-up inside his own house in a dream, it means that he will profit and
witness blessings that will show in his household members. If one who is
experiencing difficulties in his life sees himself tied-up to a chair or to a wall in
a dream, it means that his problems and fears will be dispelled. If one sees
himself building a prison in a dream, it means that he will meet a righteous man,
or an Imam who will guide him on the straight path. A prison in a dream also
represents paralysis, arrogance, self-deception, or incarcerating troublesome
people. If one sees a deceased person in jail in a dream, it means that he is in
hell. If one sees himself imprisoned in a dream, it also means that he may enter
a forbidden place, a house of a prostitution, or a tavern. (Also see Cage; Imam;

Insanity
(Craziness; Excitement; Madman; Mental derangement) In a dream,
insanity or any of the above conditions represent prosperity, merit and prestige.
Insanity in a dream also indicates desiring the world, festivities, or social fun
for one who seeks such connections. If one acts irrationally as a consequence of
something that affected his life in a dream, it denotes profits he earns from
usury. Seeing oneself extremely happy and excited in a dream means entering
paradise. In general, insanity represents profits equal to the degree of one’s
irrational behavior in his dream. How mad is he in his dream may indicate how
rich he will become. However, such profits will be spent in sinful ways and in
the company of an evil companion. Insanity in a dream also can be interpreted
as receiving an inheritance. The madness of one’s son in a dream represents the
father’s benefits. The madness of a woman in a dream represents a good harvest
for that year. Insanity in a dream is also interpreted as being madly in love. It
also could signify suffering from harsh beating, or perhaps it could mean
offering good deeds without anticipating any reward. (Also see Irrationality;
Mental derangement; Mental hospital)

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)
