Interpreted by Ibn Sirin
Fat
(Grease; Lubrication; Money; Prosperity; Tallow) 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. If one eats the fat of a permissible animal
(sheep, cattle, etcetera) in a dream, it means profits or owning a sizeable
business. If one eats the fat of a non-permissible animal (beats, vultures,
etcetera) in a dream, it means earning unlawful money, committing adultery,
rejecting one’s religion or fostering forbidden acts. Using fat as medicine in a
dream means recovering from an illness. Fat in a dream also means joy,
happiness or festivities. In general, fat in a dream also could be interpreted to
mean clean money, or net profits from which nothing is wasted.

Backbone
(Helper; Loins; Offspring; Spinal column) In a dream, one’s backbone
represents man’s helper or his right hand man. If one has a strong backbone in
a dream, it represents his sedate manners, calm and serious composure.
Whether one’s backbone is weak or strong in the dream, it could also represent
his son. If one finds his backbone strong in the dream, it means that he will
develop wisdom or beget a son who will grow strong and become a just person.
Perhaps one’s backbone could be interpreted to mean crucifixion, or it could
mean marriage to a virgin. If one sees a tree growing from his backbone in a
dream, it means an illness. If a sick person sees his backbone turned into iron
in a dream, it means recovering from his illness. (Also see Back)

(Medicinal paste; Ointment; Salve) Licking a paste made from drugs

from an illness or having a sizeable offspring.

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)
