Night
(Darkness; Heedlessness; Ignorance) In a dream, a moonless night represents
lack of work, stagnation, or losing one’s job. If one sees the whole world in the
dark and the moon is still radiant in the skies in a dream, it means that the
governor will temporarily relinquish his entire duties to his chief minister or
secretary, and that thieves and robbers will cluster around them for business.
If one then sees the daylight in his dream, it means that such an adversity will
pass. If people are under siege in the dream and the daylight dawns after a long
dark night in a dream, it means that their siege will be lifted. If people are
suffering from high prices and someone sees that dream, it means that prices
will go back to normal. If they are suffering from tyranny, it too will pass. The
night in a dream also means marital relations, while the day means separation
between them. In a dream, the darkness of night also represents heedlessness
and particularly if one witnesses thunder and lightning in his dream. Seeing a
complete darkness inside one’s house in a dream means taking a long journey.

death, while the day represents life and resurrection. The night and the day
together may represent the two guardian angels who record each person’s deeds
and who are God’s witnesses. If a sick person sees the dawn in a dream, it means
that he will recover from his illness, or die from it. If he is imprisoned, it means
that he will be released. If he is a sinner, it means that he will repent for his
sins. If he is a merchant and his business is not moving, it means that his
merchandise will be finally sold. The nightfall at the end of the day in a dream

lying inside it in a dream, it indicates that the one who is seeing the dream is
an unbeliever, an innovator and a hypocrite.

the proper standing, bowing and prostrating postures, standing with reverence
and piety and facing the Ka‘aba, it means that he will perform a religious duty

King
(God Almighty; Governor; Mayor; President; Royalty; Sultan) The true King
is God Almighty. If the king is pleased with someone in a dream, it means that
God Almighty is pleased with him, and if the king is angry with him in the
dream, it means that God Almighty is displeased with him. If one sees the king
frowning in a dream, it means that he fails to properly perform his prayers or
show true religious devotion. If one sees him smiling in a dream, it means profits
in one’s material as well as spiritual life. If one sees that God Almighty has
appointed him as a king over a land, it means that he will receive such a regency,
should he qualify. Later on, unrest will bring tyrants, or dictators to justice,
while people of knowledge and piety will survive and regain their authority. If
one sees himself as a calif or as an Imam in a dream and should he qualify, it
means that he will receive such an honor, rank, trust and fame in the land,
though his vice-regency will not become hereditary. However, it is a bad omen
if he becomes a calif in the dream and does not qualify for such an appointment.
In such a case, and by contrast, he will be humiliated and dispersed, and his own
helpers will become his superiors, while his enemies will rejoice at his misfortune.
If one sees himself as a king in a dream, though in reality he does not qualify,
it means that he may die quickly, and the same is true if a sick person sees
himself turned into a king. If he is healthy, it means that someone in his family
may die shortly. Seeing a king in a dream also denotes exposing hidden secrets.
If a philosopher or a fortuneteller sees himself transformed into a king in a
dream, then it denotes glad tidings should he not complain about it in his dream.
If a slave sees himself becoming a king in a dream, it means that he will be set
free. If one sees himself becoming one of the great kings of this world in a dream,
it means that he will attain worldly success in his life, though it will be
accompanied with religious failure. If the person is a natural con artist, it means

knighthood that is suitable only for woman, then it means his death. If one sees
the kingreprimandinghim in a dream, it means peace between them. If one sees
himself arguing a case with knowledge and wisdom before a king in a dream,
it means that he will win his case and receive what he came for. If one sees
himself complaisant with the king about his case in the dream, it means that
he will lose his case and the judgment will go the king’s way. If one sees himself
walking with a king and rubbing shoulders with him in the dream, it means that
he will oppose the king or disobey him. If he sees himself following the king in
a dream, it means that he will pursue the king’s traditions during his lifetime
or after his death. If one enters the king’s palace prostrating in a dream, it means
that he will be appointed in a leadership position and receive the king’s pardon.
If one sees himself mixing with the king’s harem, or sleeping with them and
should there be signs of comfort, trueness, or wisdom in his act in the dream,
it means that he will enter the king’s inner circles. Otherwise, should he in the
dream fear the consequences of what is happening, or if he lacks trueness, or
if he slanders them, or indulges in what is unlawful for him to do, then should
he reach the king’s door, it means that he will triumph against his enemies
inside that palace, and they can cause no harm to him. If in his dream, the king
gives him a gift, it means that he will win victory and honor in his life to equal
the value of that gift. If the king gives him a brocaded silk garment in the dream,
it means that he will give him a wife from the royal family. If the king speaks
to someone in a dream, it means honor, fame, wealth after poverty, release from
jail, expansion of one’s business, or victory over one’s enemy. If an appointed
governor sees himself looking into a mirror in a dream, it means that he will be
dismissed from his post. If an appointed king sees someone who looks like him
sitting in his throne in a dream, it means that he will beget a son. If he divorces
his wife in a dream, it means that he will abdicate his throne. To see oneself
sleeping with the king in the same bed and without a curtain between them, and
if the king leaves the bed while one remains resting therein in the dream, it
means that his mixing with the king will incur jealousy, or that he will inherit
him. If one leaves the bed before the king, it means that he will escape from a
great danger. If one sees himself sleeping alone in the king’s bed in a dream, it
means that he will marry a woman from the governing family, or that he may
spend from his own money for the sake of a woman in that palace. If the bed is
in the palace though unknown in the dream, it means that he will become a
member of that government. If a king hears his subjects praising him in a dream,
it means that he will show good qualities. If his subjects shower him with money
in a dream, it means that they speak ill of him or cast blame at him. If they
shower him with sugar in the dream, it means they speak nicely of him, and if
they shower him with stones in the dream, it means that they will speak harshly
of him. If one sees the people paying obeisance and bowing to him in a dream,
it means that they will stand humbly before him. If they prostrate themselves
before him in a dream, it means that they truly praise him. If a king sees himself
following the opinion of a woman in a dream, it means that he will lose his
kingdom or fall victim to depression, or that he will be thrown into jail. If he
opposes her in the dream, it means that he will escape from a great danger. If
a king sees himself walking in a dream when a common subject comes near him
and whispers something in his ear, the commoner here represents the angel of
death ‘Izrail, and it means that the king may die a sudden death. Eating from
the hand of one’s servant in a dream represents the growing of one’s authority,
increase of his business, knowledge, or wisdom. If a king sees himself preparing
a banquet for guests in a dream, it means that his opponents will come to argue
their case, though he will win over them. If he sees himself placing food on the
table in a dream, it means that a messenger will come to see him concerning a
dispute. If the food is sweet, then the problem will end nicely. If the food is
greasy, then the problem will be a lasting one. Sour food then means steadfastness.
Eating on the table of a just and a righteous king in a dream means blessings
and honor. If the king is seen walking alone in the markets in a dream, it means
that he is a humble, just, and a strong ruler. A sick king in a dream represents
weakness in his faith and injustice toward his subjects. If the king is carried over
people’s shoulders in a dream, it means lack of faith and lack of attendance to
one’s religious obligations, or weakness in his ruling. If the king dies and does
not get buried in a dream, it means that the king and his subjects are deviates.
If he is buried and the people walk away from his grave in the dream, it means
that one will pursue something of no benefit, unless God Almighty decrees
otherwise. If one sees the king’s head transformed into a ram’s head in a dream,
it means that the king is a just and a kind ruler. If his head is transformed into
a dog’s head in the dream, then it represents his vile nature. If his chest turns
into a stone in the dream, it means that his heart will become like a rock. If one
sees his own hand turn into the king’s hand in a dream, it means that he will
receive a leadingjob. If one sees the king flying with wings in a dream, it means
that his authority will spread. If his fingers increase in shape or number in the
dream, it means that his greed and injustice will manifest. Any dream about a
deceased king will manifest in his successors or in his progeny.

darkness, or if water or blood dribbles away from it, even if there is no rain
during that night in the dream, it denotes the arrival of a traveler from his
journey or the climbing of a muezzin to the minaret to call for prayers or the
standing of a preacher on the pulpit to give his sermon, payment of one’s debts,
performing one’s obligatory pilgrimage or the end of one’s life. If the new
crescent is opaque, or if it is created from yellow copper, or if it has the shape
of a serpent or a scorpion in the dream, then it denotes evil. Seeing the new
crescent in a dream in the same night it is supposed to be born means that one’s
wife will conceive a child. In a dream, a new crescent also represents a little
child, repentance from sin, dispelling adversities, release from prison or recovering
from an illness. Seeing the crescent when it is rising in a dream is better than
seeing it when it is declining. If the new crescent suddenly disappears in one’s
dream, it means that one’s project, object or intention will not be fulfilled. (Also

David
(Prophet David, upon whom be peace.) If one sees him in a dream, it means
that he will gain power, authority, commit a sin, become an ascetic, be tried and
oppressed by an unjust person, then he will be saved by God’s leave and regain
the upper hand over his enemy. He will also receive an exalted office or rank of
honor. It is also said, that if one sees the prophet David (uwbp) in a dream, that
his country or town will be governed by a just ruler, an honorable president or
a righteous judge. If in fact the ruler or the judge of that town, county or country
is an unjust person, then seeing God’s prophet David (uwbp) in a dream means
that God Almighty will surely replace him with a just and an honorable one. If
one becomes God’s prophet David (uwbp), or if he wears his robe in the dream
it means that he will be appointed as a judge, if he qualifies. If he does not
qualify, it means that he will prosper, or that he will grow in piety and become
righteous through much devotion, piety, sadness and crying in fear of his Lord
and love for Him. Seeing the prophet David (uwbp) in a dream also means
deputyship, trials with women, trouble caused by women, or it could mean
recitation of the Quran or being in a state of constant remembrance of God
Almighty, prayers, supererogatory prayers at night, understanding the meaning
of what one reads, repentance from sin, chanting songs of God’s love, returning
to God’s path after heedlessness, manufacturing and processing minerals, or it
could represent God’s acceptance of one’s repentance. Should one be in such a
manufacturing or processing business, it means that great wealth will come to
him, or that his adversities will be of little importance. Seeing the prophet David
(uwbp) in a dream also means reaching a successful conclusion to one’s life in
this world. If an unjust man of knowledge sees him frowning at him or warning
him, then one must be at his guard, fear any wrongdoing and correct himself.

(Reverie; Satellite) The moon in a dream represents a just ruler, his chief
minister, a great scholar, a handsome lookingboy, a tyrant, or a liar. Seeingthe
moon as it is in the skies in a dream represents the chief minister of the land.
Seeing the moon sitting in one’s lap in a dream means getting married. Sitting
in the moonlight and talking to one’s friend in a dream means reverie and idle
talk. If a woman sees that the moon has fallen inside her house, then if she takes
it and wraps it in a swaddle in a dream, it means that she will beget a son who
will shortly die after his birth and she will suffer great sorrow from his loss.
Seeingthe moon turned to the dark side in a dream means dismissal of the chief
minister from his post. Seeing the moon advancing before the sun in a dream
means that the chief minister will rise against his master. If the moon disap¬
pears in the skies in a dream, it means that one’s business has come to a halt,
or that something he has asked for will not materialize, whether it be good or
evil. If the moon reappears in the dream, it means that one will receive what
he is seeking, and again, whether it is good or bad for him. Seeing a bright and
a radiant moon in the skies in a dream means justice and prosperity. Seeing the
moon inside one’s house in a dream means that a guest or a traveller will soon
arrive. Seeing the moon laying on the ground in a dream means the death of one’s
mother. Walking on the moon in a dream means endearment and love for one’s
mother. The sun and the moon in a dream represent one’s father and mother.
Seeing the reflection of one’s face in the moon in a dream means one’s death. If
one’s wife is pregnant, and if he sees his resemblance reflected in the moon in
a dream, it means glad tidings of a son. If one is looking into the skies and he
suddenly sees the moon in his dream, it means that his enemies will be
subjugated to him. Holding the moon in a dream means receiving a gift from a
ruler or a rich person. If a ruler sees the moon dimmed in a dream, it means that
his subjects will rise against him. If the moon turns into a sun in a dream, it
means receiving honor and wealth from either one’s father or wife. The moon
in a dream also represents one’s wife, sons, daughters, sister, properties,
business, craft, a vessel, a ship, or it could mean travels. As for a sick person
or a traveller, seeing the moon in a dream means one’s destruction or death. If
the moon is veiled by clouds in the dream, it means a short sickness. Seeing the
moon through the clouds in a dream means losing one’s job. If a rich person sees
clouds covering the moon in a dream, it means losing his wealth. If the moon
speaks to someone in his dream, it means that he will receive a high ranking
appointment. If a pregnant woman sees herself trying to reach the moon with
her hand but to no avail in a dream, it means that she is wishing to have a son.
Prostrating oneself to the sun or the moon in a dream means committing an
awesome sin. If one sees the sun and the moon prostrating themselves before
him in a dream, it means that his father and mother are pleased with him. If
the moon splits in two halves in a dream, it means that harm will befall a great
person, or that a major sign will manifest to show the divine power in that
locality. If one sees a lunar eclipse, or if the moon becomes opaque, or turns
reddish in a dream, it means that major changes will take place in one’s life. The
moon in a dream also represents one’s bosom friend, an unjust governor, his
chief minister, his assistant, a gambler, an oath, recovering from an illness or
suffering from eye irritation. Seeing a full moon during the early days of the
lunar month, when it is supposed to be only a crescent in a dream means benefits
while the opposite means harm. The moon in a dream also represents a scholar,
an astrologer, an astronomer or a guide. Seeing the moon at its highest point
in a dream means honor and blessings while seeing it at its lowest point in a
dream means the opposite. Seeing the moon in the position of Aries in a dream
means benefits for someone who desires to meet with high ranking people,
though it could also have a negative connotation for someone who works in
construction. Seeing the moon in the position of Taurus in a dream means losses
for a business traveler. As for seeing it in the position of Gemini in a dream,
then it means profits from a ranch and raising livestock. Seeing the moon in the
position of Cancer in a dream means good time to get married and conceive
children. Seeing it in the position of Leo in a dream means bad business for
partnerships, securities, or mixing capitals. Seeing it in the position of Virgo
in a dream is good for health and fitness oriented people. Seeing the moon in the
position of Libra in a dream means water loss for a pregnant woman. Seeing
the moon in the position of Scorpio in a dream means benefits for health
oriented people, or for buying new clothing, though it also could connote
negative results for travellers. Seeing the moon in the position of Sagittarius
in a dream means bad time for planting or seedling. Seeing it coupled with
Capricorn in a dream is a bad sign for construction or laying a foundation to
a structure, or for starting a business. Seeing the moon in the position of
Aquarius in a dream means bad time for sending messages or engaging in any
enterprise. Seeing the moon in the position of Pisces in a dream is good for
contracts and receiving a leadership position. If one sees the sun, the moon and
all the planets assembled before him, and together they all produced a radiant
and a magnificent light in a dream, it means that one’s words are respected by
people in authority. If the stars and the planets have no light in the dream, then
they mean a calamity. In a dream, seeing a sun and a moon on one’s right side
and the same on his left side, above him, in front of him and behind him means
a calamity and a defeat that will force one to retreat or to escape but to no avail.

Mouse
(Rodent; Thief; Woman) A mouse in a dream represents a dissolute and
a sinful woman, a thief, or someone who feels flattered at exposing people’s
private life. To see a large family of mice in one’s house in a dream means money
and prosperity. If one sees a mouse playing inside his house where there is
plenty of food in a dream, it means relief and money. If a mouse leaves one’s
house in a dream, it means that blessings will depart from that house and its
earnings will diminish. Owning a pet mouse in a dream means having a servant
or a housekeeper. A black mouse and a white mouse in a dream represent the
night and the day. Seeing a mouse of either black or white color going about its
own business in the daylight in a dream means longevity. If one sees a mouse
nibbling into one’s garment in a dream, it means that one will announce his
intentions or goals. A mouse digging a hole in a dream represents a thief. A
mouse in a dream also could represents a girlfriend, an opportunistic woman,
or a lady friend who is hiding her true intentions. Catching a mouse in a dream
also means befriending a woman, or marriage. Mice in a dream also mean
elation, or ecstasy unless they are of mixed colors. Mice in a dream also
represent the members of one’s household. Killing or catching a mouse in a
dream means taking advantage of a woman. Throwing a stone or shooting an
arrow at a mouse in a dream means backbiting or slandering a contemptible
woman, or corresponding with her eliciting the unlawful. Seeing a family of mice
inside a well or near a slanting land in a dream means nearing the end of one’s
life. Seeing a large family of mice inside one’s house in a dream also could
represent a gathering of women, or holding a party in one’s house. A mouse

Alms tax
(Tithe) Paying the dues alms tax in a dream means increase in one’s
income or prosperity. If a rich man sees himself paying the due tithe on his liquid
assets in a dream, it means increase in his wealth, a spiritual growth and
receiving the blessing of performing one’s obligatory prayers on time. Payment
of one’s due tithe also represents protection from one’s enemies. Paying alms tax
in a dream also means performing supererogatory prayers during the night,
repayment of debts, absolution, or it could mean paying a fine. Alms tax in a
dream also means the death of a dear person in the family, or it could mean
losing a limb due to an illness or an accident, giving a charity for the benefit of
a departed soul, or payment of one’s debts. Thus, paying alms tax in a dream
may mean increase in one’s wealth, recovering from illness or payment of one’s
debts, all of which earn levels of exaltation and blessings. To pay charity on one’s
property of silver in a dream means begetting a son, or it could mean getting
married. If it is a poor person, then paying alms tax in a dream represents God’s
acceptance of one’s deeds. If he is a sinner, it means that he will repent of sin
and earn lawful money, and if he is a disbeliever, it means that he will become
a believer. (Also see Charity; Endowment; Tithe collector)

Shadow
(Under the sun, in the dark, or otherwise.) In a dream, a shadow
represents changes affecting one’s life in the world and his elevation or abasement.
A shadow in a dream also means guidance, repentance, true monotheism and
contemplating the Maker and His creation. If one moves but does not see his
shadow moving in a dream, it means abrogating the laws, discarding what is
permissible, adopting what is unlawful, death, becoming motionless, or losing
one’s senses. The same interpretation applies if one’s shadow disappears under
the sunlight, or under the moonlight, or in the night lights, or if his reflection
disappears from the water surface, or from any shiny surface. If one sees his
shadow dancing in a dream, it means falsehood, lies, stealing people’s money,
shifting one’s faith according to one’s personal interests, or that he criticize the
conduct of God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace. Dancing one’s shadow over a
carpet in a dream means invoking evil spirits, speaking their words after being
possessed by them, and it means trials, temptations and evil. (Also see Shade)

Paleness
(Yellow) Paleness of one’s face in a dream means a sickness. If one sees
his face bright yellow in a dream, it means that he will be among the exalted
and blessed people in the hereafter. However, paleness of the face in a dream
also may be interpreted as humiliation, jealousy, or hypocrisy. Paleness of the
face in a dream also could mean devotion, standing up in prayers at night,
observing night vigils, being in love, piety, contemplation, or being afraid of
something. If one sees his face white and his body yellow in a dream, it means
that what he shows outwardly is better than what he hides. On the other hand,
if one’s face is yellow and pale and his body is white in the dream, then it means
that his heart is better than what others can perceive from his outer look. If both
his face and body look pale and emaciated in a dream, it means an illness.
Paleness of the face alone in a dream also means sadness or sorrow. Wearing
a yellow garment in a dream means an illness, unless if it is made from silk. If
one sees himself in a dream wearing a yellowish silk-brocaded cloak, it means
religious fakery, or committing improprieties under the name of one’s religion.

Sheep
A herd of sheep in a dream represents a good flock, obedient subjects, or
good citizens. Sheep in a dream also signify joy, happiness, festivities, a wife,
children, a farmland, properties, prosperity or wealth, and particularly when
one pays the due alms tax on his money making ventures and liquid assets.
Owning a herd of sheep in a dream represents a growing wealth. Passing by a
herd of sheep in a dream means passing a gathering of men who have no brain.
If a herd of sheep faces someone in a dream, they represent a group of people
who will welcome him with a fight which one will eventually win. Receiving a
herd of sheep as a gift in a dream means a political appointment, knighthood,
knowledge, the seat of justice, or a blessing in one’s life. Shearing off the wool
of a sheep in a dream is a warning that one should remain aloof for three days.
Both the white sheep and the black sheep in a dream mean profit, though the
benefits one draws from a white sheep are greater. Seeing a herd of sheep in a
dream means continuous happiness. Walking by a slaughter house or a tripe
shop and witnessing the heads and trotters of sheep in a dream mean longevity.
To find oneself transformed into a sheep in a dream means a booty or winning
something. Seeing a sheep in one’s dream also represents an obedient son. If
one’s wife is pregnant, and if he is presented with a sheep as a gift in a dream,
it means that she will deliver a boy. Otherwise, the remaining little domesti¬
cated animals represent headache, because of the responsibility involved in
caring for and in upbringing the boys, except for the girls, for they represent
worldly success and profits. If one sees himself slaughtering a sheep in a dream,
it means that one of his boys will shortly die, or perhaps it could be the son of
someone he knows. A sheep trader in a dream represents a good man who is
intuitive and who spends his money on the path of seeking knowledge, or to
propagate the same. If one sees himself having a fat tail like that of a sheep in
a dream, it means that his livelihood will depend on the revenues of his
offspring. In a dream, a sheep also represents a righteous man. (Also see
Counting sheep; Ewe; Ram; Trader)

Vagina
A vagina in a dream signifies relief for someone who is experiencing
hardship, pressure, or sorrow. It also could mean satisfaction of one’s needs,
fulfillment of one’s desire, marriage, partnership, exposing a secret, working
with minerals, protecting women’s chastity, imprisonment, the house entrance,
the front door, travels, the prayer niche inside a mosque, one’s innermost secret,
running water, heat, an oven, a garment, a canyon, discovering a cure for an
illness and feeling happy about it, finding an elixir, feeling relief after having
sexual relationship with one’s spouse, a grave, distress, one’s wife, fire, a
burning desires, family reunion, having children, dispelling doubt about what
is right and what is wrong, clearly identifying true from false, finding guidance,
or heeding admonition. If a man looks at a woman’s vagina in a dream, it
represents his wicked state of mind, needs, desires, humiliation, or it could
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¬
gina; Looking at a sexual organ; Semen; Effeminate; Sexual intercourse; Sod¬

Allah
God Almighty, Lord, Creator and Cherisher of the universes. There is
nothing like unto Him and He is the All-Hearing, the Al-Seeing Lord. Seeing
Him in a dream can be interpreted according to one’s state of being. If one sees
Him in His glory and majesty, without descriptive designation, without ascrip¬
tion of human characteristics to Him and without depiction or portrayal in the
dream, it is an indication of glad tidings for both this world and the hereafter.These blessings also may continue to affect the lives of one’s progeny. If one sees
Him otherwise in a dream, it means confusion, and particularly if the Almighty
Lord does not address him. If an ailing person sees Him in a dream, it means
that he will soon die and come to meet Him. If a straying soul sees God Almighty
in a dream, it will find guidance. If an oppressed person sees Him, it means that
justice will prevail and he will triumph over his oppressors. Hearing God’s words
without designation represents the imagination of the person in the dream.
Perhaps hearing His words in a dream appeases one’s heart and increases the
person’s drive for success. Hearing God’s words without seeing Him represents
the rising of one’s station. If one receives revelations from behind a veil in a
dream, it means mental confusion and innovation. This is most true if a
messenger comes in one’s dream and describes the one who spoke as God. In this
case, the dream is a nightmare, because God Almighty cannot be depicted
according to human descriptions. If one sees a picture of God in his dream, it
means that he is a liar who ascribes images to God Almighty that do not befit
His Majesty and Glory. If one hears God Almighty talking to him directly and
if he can focus at Him in the dream, it means that he will be encompassed with
God’s mercy and blessings. If one sees God Almighty in a dream, it means that
he will look at His Divine countenance in the hereafter. Seeing God Almighty
seated on the Divine Throne in a dream means elevation of one’s rank,
knowledge and increase in his wealth. If one sees himself running away to hide
from God Almighty in a dream, it means that he will change the course of his
devotion into heedlessness. Seeing a veil separating between the servant and
his Lord in a dream means that one will commit major sins and abominable
actions. If one sees his Lord frowning at him, whereby he could not bear the
effulgence of God’s light, or if he is seized by a shock and immediately commences
to repent and pray for forgiveness in the dream, it means that such a person is
indulging in abominable actions, and that he is a despicable sinner who follows
his own mind and desires, and that he is an innovator of religious thoughts who
misleads the people. If one hears God Almighty talking to him in a dream, it
represents an admonition and a warning to abstain from sin. If one hears God
Almighty talking to him in a dream, it also means that one is more assiduous
in his recital of the Quran. If one hears God Almighty talking to him with words
he cannot understand, then if He anoints him and blesses him in the dream, it
means that God Almighty will bring him nigh unto Himself and exalt his station.
If one sees God Almighty in a form resembling one’s father, a brother or a
relative and showing His kindness or blessing him in a dream, it means that he
will be afflicted with a calamity and a major illness. If a righteous person sees
himself standing before God Almighty in reverence and filled with awe in a
dream, it means that mercy will encompass him and help him to further his
growth. The same interpretation applies if one sees himself prostrating before
Him. If God Almighty speaks to someone from behind a veil in a dream, it can
also represent a good worshipper, but if the Divine address takes place without
a veil in the dream, it means falling into sin. If God Almighty names someone
in his dream with his birth name, then adds another title to it, it means rising
in station and rank. If one sees God Almighty angry with him in a dream, it
means that his parents are displeased with him. This description includes
seeing oneself falling from the skies or from the top of a mountain. If a devoted
servant sees God Almighty kissing him in a dream, it applies to his growing
devotion and reward. Fearing God Almighty in a dream reflects eminence,
peacefulness, quiescence, wealth of being and disregard for material needs.

Thread
Holding a thread in one’s hand in a dream means looking for an alibi or
a proof to support one’s argument and win a case. Twisting a thread, or tying
it around someone neck, then dragging him or her in a dream represents a pimp
soliciting clients for a prostitute. Knots in a thread mean sorcery or evil spells.

the night. (Also see Ball of thread; Pimp; Rope; Spool)

death. If one sees and recognizes his bride, or if she is named as his bride in the
dream, then it means acquiring wealth. (Also see Bride; Locksmith; Star)

difficulties for his guard. (Also see Night guard)

Gold
In a dream, gold is a disliked element which cause damages, anxiety and
losses. Wearing a golden bracelet in a dream means receiving an inheritance.
Wearing a golden ornament in a dream means marriage to an incompatible
person. Any wedding gift one receives from such a person means trouble.
Receiving a golden bar in a dream means losing money or business. If one sees
himself melting a bar of gold in a dream, it means that he will be persecuted for
committing a loathsome act and he will become the talk of the town. Seeing
broken chips of gold or a whole coin of gold in a dream means meeting with the
ruler of the country or with the governor of town. Minting gold in a dream
represents evil, death or destruction. Seeing one’s house turning gold in a dream
means that a fire will consume his house. If one’s hand turns gold in a dream,
it means that it may be paralyzed. Seeing one’s eyes turning gold in a dream
means that he may become blind. Wearing a golden necklace, or a silver
necklace, or a necklace studded with gems in a dream means that one will
become a leader, or that he could receive something in trust. Gold in a dream
also represents the elements of festivities, joy, profits, good deeds, dispelling
stress, marriage, children, knowledge, spiritual guidance, or literally the business
of goldsmithing. If one sees gold turning into silver in a dream, it means decrease
in value, or changing conditions in relation to women, children or properties.
The opposite is also true. If one sees silver turning into gold in a dream, it means
increase in value, the rising moon of one’s wife, children, business or clan. Any
gold embroidered garment or fabric in a dream means religious offerings. Any
gold plated ornaments in a dream means emulating mundane people, or
outwardly imitating spiritual people, or ostentatiously acting like them. Pure
gold or silver in a dream means purity and sincerity of one’s intentions, making
a true covenant or signing a peace treaty. Gold plated or silver plated ornaments
or gold leaf objects in a dream represent a short life, changing circumstances,
spending long and sleepless nights, or it could mean forgetfulness. Wearing any
manufactured or handmade piece of jewelry in a dream means perpetual
earnings. The same interpretation is given to gold foils. (Also see Goldsmith)

Dawn
The first appearance of daylight in a dream represents the birth of girls or
their marriage. Seeing the dawn in a dream also may signify remembrance of

walking into the light of guidance. It also means happiness and continuous joy.
If one loses something in the night then finds it at dawn in a dream, it means
that his opponent denies something he unjustly took from him, then a witness
arrives to testify for one’s benefit and to help him recuperate his property.

Visiting holy sites
Visiting the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina in a dream means
seeking God’s nearness and his pleasure through good deeds. It also means
feeling safe, mixing with people of knowledge, associating with people of
religious ranks, joining the company of knowledge seekers, and developing
sincere love for the family of God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, serving and
loving those who love his progeny. Visiting the Prophet’s Mosque in a dream also
means love, knowledge and guidance. Visiting Al-Aqsa Sacred Mosque in
Jerusalem in a dream means blessings, understanding the inner meaning of
important spiritual subjects and miraculous events, or reflecting upon the
Nocturnal Journey of God’s Messenger (uwbp), the night in which the eight
heavens were decorated to receive and honor him when he was called upon to
come before God Almighty. Visiting the grave of God’s Prophet Abraham, upon
whom be peace, in a dream means obedience to one’s parents, being true to them,
seeking their love, blessings and pleasure with sincerity and trueness with one’s
words and actions. Visiting holy sites in a dream also means seeking knowledge
and wisdom, having love for charitable people, associating with good people,
seeking to learn one’s religion at the hand of a pious teacher, to receive blessings
and benefits in this life and in the next. (Also see Muhammad, upon whom be
