thunder in a dream represents an army on the move, or a foreign occupation of
a country. Hearing the sound of thunder in a dream also represents hymns,
praising God Almighty, glorifying Him, or it could mean a sickness, fear,
deafness, or the sound of drums in a wedding. If the one seeing the dream is an

first of April happens to be a Sunday, then March will be a month of great fear

will end by the death of a Western leader and the defeat of his army. If the dream
is seen on the eleventh day of April, it may mean that earthquakes or cyclones

die, and a war may take place in Persia. Meanwhile, evil will spread throughout
Egypt, and it will be brought about by its own leaders. If the dream takes place
during the last seven days of July, it means that peace will spread throughout
the earth, prices will fall in Iraq and in East Africa, and a new disease will affect
fruit trees, banana trees, date trees, though wheat will be available in abun¬
dance, even if the farmers were concerned about it in the early part of the year.
If the sound of thunder is heard during the month of August in a dream, it
means blessings for the people in Syria and the people of Azerbaijan on the

adornment, money, prosperity, or children. If a man sees his hands dyed with
henna in a dream, it means that he keeps praising his Lord. If only the right

carelessness about exposing one’s good and bad qualities in public, or it could

Killing a human being in a dream means committing an evil and an atrocious

a wooden stick or biting a cow in a dream, the cow then represents his sins. If
a cow scratches someone in a dream, it means an illness. If one is attacked by
a cow or a steer in a dream, it means that a great punishment will befall him,
or it could mean that he may be killed during that same year. If one sees himself

his dream, it means money, good business and dispelling of his anxiety, sadness,
loneliness or distress. A slaughtered cow in a dream represents a calamity. If
a shipment of yellow cows arrives at the port of a city in a dream, it means a
plague or the spreading of unknown diseases. If a herd of ugly looking cows

look in the dream, it means a raid, an enemy, or that unwanted solders will
control that town. If one sees himself riding a cow in a dream, it means that he
will inherit a woman. If one is offered a cow hide as a gift in a dream, it means

is stripped of a cow’s hide he owns in a dream, it represents a fine that he will
have to pay. To see the calf of the Children of Israel in a dream means dissension,
temptation or a murder. It also may mean a miraculous event, or that a heavenly
sign will take place in that locality. If the person is disobedient to his mother,

represent the high standard a woman has achieved in his eyes. If a woman looks
at a man’s sexual organ in a dream, it represents her strength and manlike
drive. If a prisoner finds himself having a vagina in a dream, it means his release
from prison, and for someone who is depressed, it means relief from his
depression. If one has to appear in court, it means that he will win his case. If
one is facing an opponent, it means that he will conquer him. Seeing the vagina
of an elderly woman in a dream means loss of business. If one reenters the womb
of a woman through her vagina in a dream, it means his death. A vagina in a
dream also could represent a blood sucker, a murderer, or a deceitful person who
portrays piety during the day, then shows his teeth at night. A vagina in a dream
also represents a shameless and an insolent worker, or it could represent a bird’s
nest. In this sense, capturing a bird, or looking inside a bird’s nest in a dream
means getting married. If a woman sees water entering her vagina in a dream,
it means that she will conceive a child. If a woman’s vagina turns into iron or
into any metal in the dream, it means that she has lost all hope in accomplishing
her aspirations, satisfying her desires or needs. (Also see Blowing into the va¬

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

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)
