Masjid
(arb. God’s House; Mosque; Place of worship) In Arabic, the word masjid
means a place of prostration, while the word Jami means a place of gathering.
A masjid or a mosque in a dream represents a scholar and its gates represent
men of knowledge and the guardians, or the attendants of God’s House. Building
a masjid in a dream means emulating the traditions of God’s Prophet, upon
whom be peace, fostering the unity of one’s family, or becoming a judge, should
one qualify for such an office. A masjid filled with people in a dream represents
a gnostic, a man of knowledge and wisdom, or a preacher who invites people
to his house, advises them, brings their hearts together, teaches them the
precepts of their religion and explains the wisdom behind the divine revelations.
Seeing a masjid being demolished in a dream means that such a gnostic, or
religious scholar and devout believer will die in that locality. In a dream, if the
roof of a masjid caves in, it means that one will indulge in an abominable action.
If one sees a stranger performing his prayers in a masjid in a dream, it means
that the Imam of that masjid will dies from a terminal illness. If one enters a
masjid in the company of a group of people, and if they dig a small hole for him
inside the masjid in the dream, it means that he will get married. If one’s house
becomes a masjid in a dream, it means that he will attain piety, purity of heart,
escetic detachment and an honor he will receive from his brethren. He will also
call upon them to follow what is true and to abstain from what is false. If a masjid
is transformed into a bathhouse in a dream, it means that a chaste person will
turn corrupt or become heedless. A masjid in a dream also represents a
marketplace or a business. If one has to climb up a staircase to reach the masjid
in a dream, then the masjid represents a thrifty person who does not like to
share what he has. If one has to climb down a staircase to reach the masjid in
a dream, it means that his needs will be satisfied. If a masjid in the city is moved
to a remote village in a dream, it means stagnation of one’s business, being
ostracized from one’s community, or it could mean legal complications related
to one’s inheritance. If a ruler builds a house for God Almighty or a masjid in
a dream, it means that he will be a just ruler and he will govern his subject by
the divine laws. If a religious scholar builds a masjid in a dream, it means that
he will author a book that will benefit others, or delivers a commentary on a
complex religious issue, or if he is wealthy, it means that he will pay the alms
tax due on his assets. Building a masjid in a dream also means getting married,
or conceiving a child who will grow to become a righteous and a knowledgeable
scholar, or if one is poor, it means that he will become rich. Otherwise, it means
that one will serve God’s House and fill it with invocations, supplications,
serving the interest of the community, leading the people to unity and love, and
teaching them to value obedience to God’s commands. Building a masjid in a
dream also could mean becoming a real estate agent, or repenting from one’s
sins, or receiving guidance on God’s path, or to die as a martyr, hence, what one
builds for God Almighty in a dream, represents his house in paradise. Such
interpretation applies if one builds a masjid following the proper procedures
and with lawfully earned money, and using proper materials. Otherwise,
building it with what is unlawful of money or materials in the dream, or
changing the direction of the prayer niche, etcetera, then one’s dream will carry
the opposite meaning. If one builds a masjid or a fellowship house in a dream,
it means that he will seek the path of knowledge and wisdom, or that he will
attend a pilgrimage during that same year, or establish a permanent business,
such as a hotel, a bathhouse or a shop, etcetera. Building the roof of a masjid
in a dream means taking care of orphans, or sponsoring homeless children.
Expanding a masjid in a dream means increase in one’s good deeds, repentance
from a sin, adopting good conduct, or being just. Seeing oneself inside a new
masjid one does not recognize in a dream means attending the pilgrimage to
God’s House in Mecca during that same year, or joining religious circles to learn
about one’s religion. If one’s shop becomes a masjid, or if the masjid becomes a
shop in the dream, it denotes lawful earnings, or it could mean mixing lawful
and unlawful earnings. A forsaken masjid or mosque in a dream means
intentionally ignoring the value of gnostics and religious scholars, or denying
the necessity to command what is good and to eschew what is evil. A forsaken
masjid in a dream also denotes the presence of ascetics who have renounced the
world and its people and care less about their material possessions. A known
mosque in a dream represents the city where it is erected. For instance, the Aqsa
mosque in a dream represents Jerusalem, the Sacred mosque represents Mecca,
the Prophet’s Mosque (uwbp) represents Medina, the Omayyad mosque represents
Damascus, Al-Azhar mosque represents Cairo and the Blue mosque represents
Istanbul, etcetera. A known mosque in a dream also could represent the
renowned scholars who live in that place, or the ruler of that country, or any
of his ministers. If one enters a mosque and immediately after crossing the
entrance gate, he prostrates himself to God Almighty in the dream, it means
that he will be given the opportunity to repent for his sins. If one comes to a
masjid and finds its doors locked, then if someone opens the door to him in a
dream, it means that he will help someone in paying his debt, then extol his good
virtues in public. If one enters a mosque riding on an animal in a dream, it means
that he will cut off his connection with his relatives, leave them behind and
forbid them to follow him. If one dies in a masjid in a dream, it means that he
will die as a true penitent. If the carpet or the straw mat of a mosque becomes
a shredded rag in the dream, it means that the community of that masjid is
divided and corrupt. Building a masjid in a dream also means overcoming one’s
enemy. Entering the Sacred Mosque in Mecca in a dream means arriving with
one’s bride to their new home and it could mean fulfillment of a promise, being
truthful, dispelling one’s fear and reaching the shore of safety. (Also see Minaret;
Minbar; Mosque)

Writer
(Author; Book; Letter; Scribe; Secretary; Starling; Write) A writer in a
dream represents a dishonest, cunning, deceitful and a fraudulent person. If a
writer sees himself unlettered in a dream, it means that he will forget his
pranks, or lose his mind, or waste his religion, or develop a weak spiritual
standing, or become poor. If one sees himself as an unlettered person, then if
he suddenly becomes a writer in a dream, it means that he will develop pranks
and deceive his opponent or enemy. Discovering oneself as a writer in a dream
means that one will attend to the comfort of others rather than to his own
comfort. Consequently he will get exhausted from such exercise and find that
he gained nothing from it. If a sick person sees such a dream, it means his death.
If a worker sees that dream, then it connotes his honesty and loyalty, or it could
mean that he will be promoted, or get a raise from his employer. A writer in a
dream also represents a tailor, a farmer, or a locomotive engineer. Seeing a
scribe, or the secretary of managerial people, or someone in authority in a dream
means that one may become one of them, or it could mean that he will rise in
station, or improve his life. (Also see Paper; Write)

War correspondent
(Correspondent; Exchanging letters; Spy) Exchanging let¬
ters between two army camps in a dream means nearing the end of one’s life,
quelling a riot, accepting the truth, following what is lawful, death of a sick
person, or the victory of an oppressed person. If one becomes a war correspondent
in a dream, it means that he may become a spy, or be promoted in his field. (Also

Eve
(Mother of humankind, may God’s peace be with her.) In a dream, Eve
represents prosperity, blessings, a good harvest, a good yield, progeny, profits
from a business in textile, farming, smithcraft or similar industries. Seeing
Adam and Eve in a dream means being demoted from a station and a place of
honor to a lower rank to be raised again after repenting from one’s sin. Seeing
Eve in a dream also indicates pitfalls, sins, being subject to jealousy and
malicious fraud, or trouble with one’s neighbors. Seeing Adam and Eve in a
dream also means hardships caused by one’s wife or children, consent for sexual
intercourse, repentance or regret for one’s past. If a woman sees Eve in her
dream, it means that she will create hardships for her husband because of her
association with someone who is unsuitable for her friendship. It also means
that a major adversity will befall her, since Eve was the first to experience
female menstrual period and the pain of childbirth. It may also mean suffering
from the burden of pregnancy, labor and the pangs of giving birth. Seeing Eve
in a dream also could mean givingbirth to both righteous as well as evil children.
If the woman in the dream is separated from her husband, it may mean
re turning to her conjugal life or earning lawful income for her own needs. It also
could mean that someone from her progeny may commit murder or die as a
martyr. If a man sees Eve in a dream, it means that he may be deceived by a
woman or that he hearkens exclusively to the advice of his wife, or if he follows
a woman’s advice, it means that he will err and lose his leadership. If one sees
Eve with her beautiful countenance in a dream, then she represents his mother,
for Eve is the mother of humankind. Should he then be under the pangs of
adversities, it means that he will be saved.

Molder
A mold maker in a dream represents a gnostic, or a genius who teaches
each and everyone of his students what they particularly need. Since molds are
containers, then he represents a man of knowledge who understands and
protects people’s secrets. A mold maker practicing his trade, buying and selling
what he casts in a dream represents someone who is well acquainted with his
profession, and who knows how to promote his services. A molder in a dream is
also interpreted as a person who encourages people to travel even as far as China
to acquire knowledge. (Also see Mold)

Human being
To see one of the children of Adam (uwbp) one does not recognize
in the dream perhaps may represents oneself. If he does good, then it represents
one’s own deeds, and if does evil, the seer may pursue the same. If one recognizes
such a being in the dream, it means that he will receive something from him.
If one likes what he receives from him in the dream, it means that he will attain
his personal goals. If he receives a shirt in the dream, it means an appointment
to a high ranking position. If he receives a rope in the dream, it means an
agreement, a commitment or a covenant. If he takes money from him in the
dream, it represents something he will lose and forgo in despair, or perhaps that
a fight will take place between them. Each human being in a dream represents
himself, his kind, look alike, someone by the same name, his town, or his craft.
If the person whom he recognizes in the dream holds an elevated rank, it means
that he will lose it, and if he holds a lower rank, it means that he will be
promoted. (Also see Man; Mankind)
