Ocean
(Government) The element of ocean in a dream represents a prison where
sea lives are incarcerated, and it means losses, fear, despair, limitless knowledge,
a city without walls, or the world, its trials and wonders. An ocean or a sea in a
dream also represents a strong ruler who is just, compassionate toward his
subjects and whom people revere, have access to, and seek for their daily needs.
If a businessman sees an ocean in a dream, it represents his merchandise. As for
a worker or an apprentice, the ocean in a dream represents his veteran teacher
or master. If one sees the ocean in a dream, it means that he will succeed in his
goals. If one sees himself entering into the ocean or sea in a dream, it means that
he will enter before a ruler, or stand before someone in authority. If one sees
himself sitting or lounging at the sea shore in a dream, it means that he will work
for such a person or a ruler, though he will be observing caution and diplomacy
with him. If one sees himself drinking the entire water of the sea though no one
sees him except the king in a dream, it means that he will reign and live a long
life. Drinking any portion thereof also means equal earnings to what he takes in.
If one sees himself drinking from it to quench his thirst in the dream, it means
riches, strength and longevity. If one sees himself asking for some of its water to
drink in a dream, it means that he is seeking to work for such a strong person or
ruler. If he pours its water in a pitcher in the dream, it means prosperity, or that
he will receive a bounteous gift from God Almighty to encompass a high rank as
well as riches. However, his status will last longer than his money. To drink water
from the sea in a dream means acquiring knowledge and adopting proper conduct.
Crossing the ocean in a dream means booty. If one sees strong waves bringing
seawater to his street without causing damages in a dream, it means that a ruler
or a great person will enter or visit that locality. Bathing in seawater in a dream
means repentance from one’s sins. Seeing the ocean from a distance in a dream
means that calamities, temptations and trials are coming to one’s community. If
one sees the sea receding, whereby he can see the edges of the earth it covers in
a dream, it means diminishing of his authority and control, or that the wrath of
God Almighty has descended upon that locality. This calamity could be carried
by one’s own government, economic tribulations, drought, or one’s enemies.
Standing over seawater in a dream means attaining something one did not seek.
Walking in the air above the seawater in a dream represents the person’s good
intentions, his clarity, faith and certitude. If a sick person sees himself taking
ablution in seawater in a dream, it means that he will recover from his illness,
or it could mean payment of one’s debts and relief from worldly pressures. (Also

Skies
(Castle; Child; Firmament; Heavens; House; Mother; Oath; Ocean; Prison;
Teacher; Town; Wife; Wonders) In a dream, the sky represents itself. Whatever
descends from it or comes from that direction in a dream will materialize. If fire
falls from the sky over people’s homes in a dream, it means plagues, illness,
pleurisy, smallpox, or death and destruction. If fire falls over the marketplace
in the dream, it means higher prices. If it falls over the fields and farmlands in
the dream, it means that the crops could either burn, freeze, or be struck by a
swarm of locusts or by other harmful insects. If what falls from the sky indicates
prosperity, such as honey, oil, figs, barley, or money, etcetera, in the dream, it
means a good rain and a good harvest for that year. Whatever falls from the sky
of good or bad may represent the government and the hardships it inflicts upon
the people, or the benefits it may bring them. Climbing to the sky with a rope,
a ladder, or using a staircase in a dream means exaltation, rising in station, good
luck and support. If one climbs without a common medium in a dream, it means
fear and arrogance. If his intention in climbing is to spy on others in the dream,
it means that he may work as a spy. If one descends safely from the sky in the
dream, it means that he will escape and be spared the consequences of his sin.
If he falls and breaks or fractures a bone or so in the dream, it means that he
may suffer such accident in wakefulness. If a sick person sees himself climbing
to the sky, and if he does not return to earth in the dream, it means that he may
die from his illness. If he comes back in the dream, it means that his illness will
increase and his difficulties will reach their peak, though God willing, he will
recover from his illness, unless he falls into a hole in a dream. In that case the
hole represents his grave. If one sees the sky shooting arrows causing people
wounds, injuries and bleeding in a dream, it means taxes and confiscation of
properties by the government. If the arrows hit people’s ears and eyes only in
the dream, it means that major trials and temptations will strike at everyone.
If the arrows fall without causing harm to anyone, and if people rush to collect
them in the dream, they represent a booty that people will come to win, or a
divine gifts people will enjoy. To rise close to the sky in a dream means nearness
to one’s Lord. This is particularly true for pious people and for true believers.
Nearing the sky in a dream also represents a supplication needing an immediate
answer, and God willing such prayers will be answered. Nearing the sky in a
dream also could mean going before the governor of one’s town, or any person
from whom one may need something, i.e., a teacher, a man of knowledge, a
father, or a wife. If one sees the sky falling over his head in a dream, it means
that the roof of his house may cave in, or that he will die from an illness he
already suffers. If one sees himself climbing and entering the sky in a dream,
it means that he will die as a martyr. If one sees himself standing in the sky in
a dream, it means that he will command or admonish others. If one sees himself
in the sky looking down at something on earth in a dream, it means that he will
rise in station, then he will regret something he missed. If one sees the sky green
in a dream, it means prosperity and a good harvest. If one sees the sky turned
into iron in a dream, it means drought or scarcity of rain. If one falls from the
sky in a dream, it means that he may abandon his faith, become a reprobate,
or that he may be struck with a major calamity that will be driven by an unjust
person. If the iron sky splits open, and if an old man appears from behind it in
the dream, such an old person represents the grandfather of the people of that
town or tribe. Consequently, people will enjoy a good harvest, prosperity and
happiness. If it is a young man that appears in the dream, then he represents
an enemy and an evil that may befall the people following such dream. If a sheep
appears from the sky in a dream, then it means profits. If camels appear, then
they represent rain. If a lion appears in the dream, it represents an unjust ruler.
If the sky becomes one solid piece in the dream, it means drought. If it rips apart
and its doors become wide open in the dream, then it means rain or an answer
to people’s prayers. If one sees himself reaching out and touching the sky in a
dream, it means that he is seeking an important goal, and that he will fail to
attain it. If one sees himself rising near the lower heavens in a dream, it means
worldly gains, or profits and status in either material or spiritual realms. If one
looks toward the sky, whether to the East or to the West in a dream, it means
travels. If one sees himself stealing the sky and hiding it in ajar in a dream, it
means that he may steal a copy of the holy Quran and hides it with his wife.
If one sees the sky wide open in a dream, it means blessings and benefits. If one
sees himself rising toward the sky in a fiat posture in a dream, it means that
he will become emaciated, or suffer losses in his business. On the other hand,
if one sees himself rising without difficulty and without being laid on his back
in a dream, it means exaltation, success and safety from any harm that could
be driven by one’s enemies. If one bites the sky in a dream, it means that a
calamity will strike at him, or it could mean business losses, failure to attain
one’s goals, or an argument with one’s superior at work. If one sees himself
touring the sky then returning to earth in a dream, it means that he may become
an astronomer, or an astrologer and gain fame in his field. If one sees himself
leaning his back to the sky in a dream, it means that he may win a leadership
position, or win victory over his opponents. If one sees himself in the sky having
a form different than that of human beings in a dream, it means that he may
leave this world unblessed. If one sees himself hanging down with a rope from
the sky in a dream, it means that he will govern after someone else’s, or inherit
his post. However, if the rope breaks in the dream, it means that he may lose
such an opportunity. If one sees a lighted candle in the sky which luster and
brightness dims the light of the sun in a dream, it represents a solar eclipse. If
one sees the sky being build in his presence in a dream, it means that he lies
in his testimonies. Falling from the sky in a dream also could be a warning
against falling into sin. Falling from the sky in a dream with one’s head down
means longevity. If one sees himself in the sky but could not remember when
did he enter it in a dream, it means that God willing he is already in paradise.
If one sees radiance, or scintillating rays of light coming through the sky in a
dream, it means guidance. If he sees dark clouds coming through the sky in a
dream, it means that he could stray from God’s path. If he sees a scourge
descending from the sky in a dream, it means that plagues and adversities will
befall the people as a chastisement for their sins, or for crimes they have
committed. As for gnostics and people of knowledge, seeing the sky in a dream
means clarity, vision, placing one’s interests in heavenly matters, or travelling
to distant lands, or engaging in importing and exporting goods. Climbing into
the sky in a dream also means falsehood, false beliefs, lies, or talking about God
Almighty without the proper knowledge or guidance. Climbing into the sky in
a dream also could mean seeking one’s livelihood, satisfying one’s needs, or
fulfilling a promise. Skies in a dream also represent the ocean because of their
vastness and the countless number of creation living therein, or they could
represent the ripening of fruits, or the conclusion of one’s work, or they could
represent one’s helmet, armor, wife, money, religion, death, or they could
indicate slander and falsehood against someone who descends from them after
being raised, and they could mean making peace with one’s enemies, or they
could represent the shares allotted for each one of God’s creation, the good and
the bad, people’s sustenance and that of beasts, gains, losses, blessings or
afflictions. (Also see Ascending in the skies; Celestial spheres; Heavens; Star)
Skin inflammation: (Thinning; Shedding one’s skin) If one sees his skin thinned
or inflamed between his legs in a dream, it means that he will marry a rich
woman who will give him her wealth. If one sees himself shedding his skin or
skinning himself in a dream, it means money he will part with, and if he is sick,
it means his death. (Also see Dry skin; Skin)

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.
The night and the day in a dream represent two adverse rulers, or two
competitors or adversaries. The night in a dream also represents an atheist,
while the day in a dream represents a believer. The night in a dream also
signifies comfort and rest, while the day means toiling and hardships. In a
dream, the night also means sexual pleasures, while the day means divorce or
separation. The night in a dream signifies economic stagnation, while the day
means business, travels and hypocrisy. If the night in a dream is interpreted to
represent the ocean, then the day means land. The night in a dream also means
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
also could mean the opposite. Seeing the night in a dream also denotes constant
changes in one’s life, poverty, hunger, starvation, or death. The night and the
day in a dream also represent wisdom and protocols, or indulging in something
one will regret. The nightfall in a dream also may denote changing times, or
changing trends. The night in a dream also could represent an African woman,
while the day may represent a Caucasian woman, or a pregnant woman. The
night in a dream also represents the evening gown, while the day represents

refuge in a safe place, except if the one seeing the dream is a traveller, then the
night in his dream means injustice and ignorance. The night in a dream also
denotes devotion, holding a night vigil, attaining one’s goal, or meeting with
one’s beloveds. (Also see Darkness; Evening; Moon; Night of power)

Swimming
(Employment; Knowledge; Prison) If a man of knowledge sees himself
swimming in the ocean in a dream, it means that he will attain his goals. If he
enters the water of the ocean then comes back to the shore in a dream, it means
that he will commence his path of seeking knowledge then abandons it.
Swimming in a dream also means going to jail. Swimming on sand in a dream
means that one may be incarcerated, that his living conditions in his jail will
be constricted, and that he will suffer in his prison from hardships equal to the
difficulties he encounters during his swim in the dream. If one sees himself
swimming inside his own house in a dream, it means that he will work for a
ruthless, wicked and an unjust employer who will entrap him in his service
through a business deal. Consequently, God Almighty will help him out of his
entanglements. If one is afraid of swimming in the dream, it means that he is
scared of someone in authority. If he runs away from swimming in a dream, it
means that he will escape from him. If one sees himself entering waters where
he can swim successfully in a dream, it means that he will engage in a major
project, lead an important job, or acquire authority and power. If one swims on
his back in a dream, it means that he will repent for a sin. If he swims in the
sea and finds its water stagnant in the dream, it means that he will serve
someone in authority, though his job will bringhim nothingbut trouble and the
wrath of his employer. If he still manages to cross the sea in his dream, it means
that he will escape from dangers his employment could inflict upon him. If he
swims with fear in a dream, it means trouble, imprisonment, or a sickness he
will endure depending on the type of needed efforts or distance he has to cross.
Should he think in the dream that he will not be able to make it, then it means
his death. If he shows courage during his swim in the dream, it means that he
will be able to escape from such a dangerous job. Troubled waters in a dream
mean adversities. Swimming successfully across troubled waters in a dream
means overcoming one’s adversities. Any sea or agitated waters in a dream
represent the authorities or the state, whether it be a swamp, a lake, a pond,
a sea, or an ocean. If one sees himself drowning in a river, or a lake, then if he
is carried by others and laid on dry land motionless like a fish in a dream, this
also means trials and adversities. If one is saved from drowningbefore he wakes-
up from his sleep in the dream, it means that he will triumph over his trials.
Otherwise, if he dies from it in the dream, it means that he may die from such
adversities. If during his swim one meets a ship that pulls him out of the waters,
or to which he holds or grabs, it also means escape from adversities. If one
drowns in the dream, it means that he may die as a martyr, though having
previously indulged in many sins. To walk on water, whether it is the sea or a
river in a dream means good spiritual standing, religious assiduousness and a
strong faith and determination. Walking on water in a dream also could be
interpreted as ascertaining something about which one may have doubt, or
placing one’s trust in God Almighty before embarking on a dangerous trip. (Also

Mosque
(Jami; Masjid) The main city mosque or the central mosque in a dream
represents the king, the governor, or the ruler of a Muslim country, since he
takes care of establishing the divine laws as well as he is the symbol of Islam
and the decisive judge between the lawful and the unlawful. Smelling an apple
inside a mosque means getting married. A mosque in a dream is like the central
market that people intend daily and endeavor to make profit therein. It is a place
where people will profit according to their deeds and efforts. A mosque in a
dream also represents one who is to be obeyed, respected and revered such as
a father, a teacher, a shaikh or a man of knowledge. It also asserts justice if one
who enters a mosque in his dream is unjustly treated. The main city mosque in
a dream represents the Quranic revelation, the ocean of knowledge, a place of
purification and washing one’s sins, the graveyard where submissiveness and
contemplation are evoked, the washing and shrouding of the dead, medicine,

Seeing the main city mosque in a dream also means to recognize something good
and to act upon it. It also could be interpreted as the shelter from one’s enemy,
and a sanctuary and a shelter of the believer from fear, and a house of peace.
The ceiling of the mosque represents the intimate and vigilant entourage of a
king. Its outstretch represents the dignitaries. Its chandeliers represent its
wealth and ornaments. Its prayer mats represent the king’s justice and his
knowledgeable advisors. Its doors represent the guards. Its minaret represents
the king’s vice-regent, the official speaker of the palace or it announcer. If the
main mosque in the dream is interpreted to represent the ruler of the land, then
its pillars represent the element of time. Its lights represent the noble retinue
and the wise men of his epoch. The ceiling represents the knowledge contained
in the books that protect his justice and his references. The minaret will then
represent his chief minister or advisor. The pulpit represents his servant. The
prayer niche represents his wife, or it may represent his lawful earnings, or a
righteous and a chaste wife. If one sees a mosque burning in a dream, it means
death, losses and political changes in the country. The main mosque of the town
also represents the pious people dwelling therein, the men of knowledge, the
wise men, devotion, or a hermitage. Its niche represents the leader of the people
(Imam). The caller to prayers (Muezzin) represents the judge or a gnostic from
that town or country who calls people to the right path and whose call is
harkened to by the believer. The doors of a mosque in a dream represent the
trustees and guards who shelter people from outside attacks. If one sees any of
that in a dream, or whatever condition these elements are in, they represent the
current condition of the people, and this is what the central mosque represents
in one’s dream. If one sees grass growing inside a mosque in a dream, then it
means a wedding. (Also see Imam; Kaaba; Masjid; Minaret; Minbar; Muezzin)

anger of one’s wife. Entering a bathhouse in a dream means suffering from a
fever. Drinking hot water directly from the boiler in a dream means sickness,
stress, depression and a scare from evil spirits. If one sees himself drinking cold
refreshing water from the regular water tab in a dream, it means comfort and
joy. Taking abath with cold water in a dream means recovering from an illness.
A bathhouse in a dream also represents hell-fire, and the attendant represents
its keepers. A bathhouse in a dream also represents the judge’s court, and its
attendant represents the judge himself. A bathhouse in a dream also represents
a prison and its guard, the ocean and the ship pilot, the evil bawdy houses and

and takes a carriage back home in his dream, it means that he will shortly die
and the elements of his dream represent his washing, shrouding, coffin and
funeral. The element of a bathhouse in a dream also represent a library,
knowledge, guard’s post, house of worship, a mosque, a church, idol worship, a

Satan
Seeing the accursed one in a dream means evil, sin, lying, stealing,
jealousy, sorcery, separation between husband and wife, disdain from performing
one’s prayers, or it could mean preaching falsehood. Seeing the accursed one in
a dream also means propagation of an invented world or ideas. If in a dream one
becomes Satan, it is interpreted as loosing one’s sight. If one kills Satan in a
dream, it means that he will deceive and conquer a deceiver and an evil person.
In a dream, the accursed Satan also represents an enemy of the body and the
soul. He deceives, cheats, disbelieves, as well as he is ungrateful, jealous,
capricious, arrogant, heedless, impetuous, or he could represent a leader, a
minister, a judge, a policeman, a man of knowledge, a preacher, a hypocrite, or
one’s own family and children. Seeing Satan in a dream also means villainy, dirt,
passion and sexual devilry. If one sees Satan attacking him in a dream, it means
that he earns his money from usury. If Satan touches him in a dream, it means
that someone is slandering or trying to deceive his wife. If one is sick or under
stress, and if he sees Satan touching him in a dream, it means that he will put
his hand on material wealth. If one is suffering from the consequences of devilry
while he recognizes his trials and remains steadfast in remembering God
Almighty and calling upon Him for help in a dream, it means that he has many
enemies tryingto deceive him or to destroy him, though they will eventually fail,
and in turn, they will be defeated by God’s leave. If one sees Satan following him
in a dream, it means that an enemy is pursuing him to deceive him, and
consequently one will lose his status, rank and the benefits of his knowledge.
If one sees himself inwardly talking with Satan in a dream, it means that he will
join hands with his own enemy, and his strike will be against the righteous
people, though he will ultimately fail. If one sees Satan teaching him something
in a dream, it means that he will fabricate a story, speak falsehood, or recite
poems filled with lies. If one sees that Satan has descended upon him in a dream,
it means that he engages in falsehood and sin. If one sees himself presiding over
a band of satans, controlling them, commanding them, and if they obey him in
the dream, it means that he will receive a seat of honor and he will be feared
by his friend and foes. If one ties Satan with chains in a dream, it means that
he will win victory in his life together with might and fame. If one sees himself
deceived by a group of satans in a dream, it means that he will suffer financial
losses or lose his job. If Satan strips someone from his clothing in a dream, it
means that the latter will lose a battle to an enemy. If one sees Satan whispering
something in his ear in dream, it means that he will be dismissed from his job.
If one sees himself defying and fighting Satan in a dream, it means that he is
a true and a strong believer who obeys his Lord and who holds fast to his
religious obligations. If Satan frightens him in a dream, it means that the latter
is a sincere deputy and a protege of God Almighty, and that God will safeguard
him from any fear of the accursed Satan or his army. If one sees a meteor or a
flame shooting at Satan in the skies in a dream, it means that there is an enemy
of God Almighty in that locality. If that person is a ruler, then his secrets will
be exposed, and if he is ajudge, it means that a just punishment will befall him
for his injustice. If one sees Satan happy in a dream, it means that he engages
in sensuality, passion and loathsome actions. In general, Satan is a weak enemy,
if one sees himself fighting him with resoluteness in a dream, it shows that he
is a religious and a pious person. If Satan swallows someone or penetrates inside
his body in dream, it means a fright, losses and sufferings. Satan in a dream also
represents builders or ocean divers who work as spies. Seeing them in a dream
also could mean backbiting or slandering. If one sees himself as a Satan in a
dream, it means that he constantly frowns with people and that he is quick to
harm them, or that he may work at cleaning sewers, or perhaps he may perish
in a fire, or die as a heedless person.

Walking on water
Walking on water in a dream represents one’s strong faith,
certitude and trust in God Almighty. This is particularly true if while waking
one also speaks words of wisdom. Otherwise, walking on water in a dream also
could mean clarifying a complex issue. Walking on water in a dream also could
mean undertaking a dangerous venture and trusting one’s affairs to God’s
protection. If one walks back from the water to the dry land in a dream, it means
that he will satisfy his needs or fulfill his intentions. In a dream, waking on
water represents one’s good intention, clarity and certitude. Walking on water
in a dream also means unveiling a mystery, the need to trust one’s affairs into
God’s hand, or it may mean approaching a danger, or it could mean that the
accumulated pressures one is enduring are bearing heavy on him. It also means
placing one’s trust in God Almighty before embarking on a trip that could entail
some danger. To walk on water, whether it is an ocean or a river in a dream also
denotes good spiritual standing, religious assiduousness and strong faith,
certitude and determination. (Also see River; Water)
