Young woman
(Teenage girl) A young girl in a dream represents an enemy
however she may look. Seeing a well dressed and pleasingly adorned young
woman in a dream means hearing pleasing news coming from an unexpected
person. Seeing a young and a beautiful looking female servant in a dream means
blessings, a favor, joy and festivities. In a dream, seeing an unknown young girl
is more advantageous than seeing a known one. The strongest in meaning are
those teenage girls who are presentable, well mannered and beautifully dressed.
If she is seen dressed with modesty in the dream, then she represents goodness,
chastity, discreteness, and following the correct religious conduct. If she adorns
herself and plays up her charms in the dream, then such goodness will be public.
If a young girl sees herself as an old woman in a dream, it means that she will
live with modesty and preserve her chastity. If an old woman sees herself turned
young again in the dream, it means regaining her strength, sexual desire and
fertility. If she engages in lawful sexual intercourse in marriage, it denotes
strong religious adherence. If she engages in sexual intercourse with someone
without marriage in the dream, then her dream represents her love for the world
and attachment to its glitters. If one sees an old woman turned young in a dream,
then the above explanation becomes stronger. However, if one is poor, it means
that her basic needs will be secured. If one has lost her chances in this world,
it means that she will have a new opportunity, or if she is sick, it means that
she will recover from her illness. Seeing a young girl frowning in a dream means
that one may hear disturbing news. If she looks emaciated, then one’s dream
denotes poverty. If she is naked in the dream, it means business losses and
