Dragon
A dragon in a dream represents a tyrant and an unjust ruler, or it could
mean a killing fire. The more heads a dragon has in a dream, the greater is his
danger. If a sick person sees a dragon in his dream, it means his death. If a
pregnant woman sees herself delivering a dragon in a dream, it means that she

by two different names, or that he might become a fortuneteller, a monk, an evil
person, a bandit or an insolent person who will be killed later. A dragon in a
dream also connotes the stretch of time. If one sees a dragon coming his way
without causing fear, and if the dragon talks to him with clear expressions, or
if the dragon gives him something, it mean glad tidings or good news. If a giant
dragon is transformed into a man or a woman in a dream, it represents an army
of male or female jinn {see alphabetically), and a marching army of female jinns
in a dream means an enemy who conceals his true purpose or identity. Such an
enemy has many heads and ways in the arts of ugly actions and evil thinking.
Each head from one to seven represents an adversity of a different magnitude
or an art of evildoing. If the dragon in one’s dream has seven heads, it represents
an enemy that cannot be equalled and whose evil designs cannot be paralleled.
If one sees himself owning and controlling a dragon in a dream, it means taking
advantage of a person who is mentally ill. (Also see Jinn)
