tidings. Bismillah in a dream also represents attainment, knowledge, guidance
and wealth. Reciting the formula: ‘Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem’ (In the Name
of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate ) in a dream also means living to see
one’s children and grand children. It also means recovering a lost article.
Bismillah in a dream also means placing the intention to get married, tidings of
a good progeny, and receiving guidance after heedlessness. If one writes down
such a call: ‘In the Name of God’ with a beautiful handwriting in his dream, it
means that he will receive wealth and recognition in his field of knowledge. If
a deceased person writes it in one’s dream, it means that such a person dwells
encompassed with God’s mercy. If the one who wrote it in the dream is alive and
if he erases it or if a bird steals it from him in the dream, it means the nearing
of his death and exhaustion of his sustenance in this world. If one recites it
during his prayers in a dream when it is not his custom to do so, it means

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.

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

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.

Balance
(Scale) A balance and a scale in a dream have similar interpretations.
Both represent faith, justice and righteousness in words and actions. In a
dream, a balance also may represent a wife, or it could mean payment of one's
debts. A steelyard in a dream represents an architect or a builder. A miller's
scale in a dream represents a man who considers himself worthy of respect,
while his actions, earnings and moves are contemptible. A precision scale in a
dream represents a warning against heedlessness and concern for proper
accounting for one's actions. The justice scale represents a judge. If it stands

and a learned person. In a dream, the scales of a balance represents the judge's
ears. The money put on a scale for measuring represents the lawsuits, and the
weights represent the judgment. If one sees himself standing before God
Almighty on Judgment Day and if his good deeds weigh heavier than his sins
in the dream, it means that he will reckon himself, reflect about his bad actions
and correct the course of his life. Consequently, his reward in the hereafter will
be greater. Seeing the Balance of the Day of Judgement in a dream means
vulnerability of people's secrets, exposing one's actions in public, recognition of
the ultimate truth, joy, happiness, victory and justice. If one's deeds are
praiseworthy, then he will be a winner. Ifone's deeds are blameworthy, then he
will be a loser. In general, a balance in a dream represents a guide, an example
to follow, a scholar one seeks to learn at his hand, a ruler, a criterion and the
Qur'fm. It also may represent one's tongue and correctness, truthfulness, lies,
incredulity or trustworthiness. (Also see Measure 2; Measurer; Scale)
