reared for bantering or dallying with in a dream signify fun and enjoying one’s
life. In the dream, anything that happens to such a breed of dogs means suffering
from distress, sorrow or loss of one’s pleasure of living. If one is transformed into
a dog in a dream, it means that God Almighty has taught him great knowledge
which he abused and discarded, then God Almighty stripped him from such a
knowledge. A dog in a dream also represents a police informer or a police dog.
A dog in a dream also represents a weak enemy or a niggardly person. If a dog
barks at someone in a dream, it means that one will hear something he despises
or hates to make public from someone who lacks any sense of honor or virtue.
Eating a dog’s meat in a dream means cracking down at one’s enemy. A dog in
a dream also represents a guard or an innovator. Drinking dog’s milk in a dream
means a scare. Laying one’s head on a dog or relaxing with a dog or using the
dog for a pillow in a dream, the dog then represents a friend or a good companion.
A dog in a dream also represents a street boy, a beggar or an obsequious, lowly
and a despicable person who maintains affection toward his master and
jealously guards him, his children and property. A dog in a dream also means
greed, love for the worldly pleasures, committing a dogfight to win them and
failing to have any reserve or savings. In a dream, all types of dogs also represent
people. A hunting dog in a dream represents honor and profits. A shepherd’s dog
represents a good neighbor who cares more about his neighbors than about his
own household. Adopting a dog as a pet in a dream means wavering, or paying

Reins
(Bridle; Harness) In a dream, reins represent mastery of one’s craft, control
of his trade, or it could signify power and a strong financial standing. Reins in
a dream also represent a coachman, or the driver who never disobeys his master,
and who goes wherever he is told to go. Riding on a workhorse who is fitted with
a harness, or on a bridled nag in a dream means occupying an important office
and letting everyone who works for the leader make an oath of allegiance before
hiring them for work. If the bridle and the martingale are unadorned in the
dream, then such a dream represents a humble person, and connotes that his
heart is better than what his outer look may suggest. Reins in a dream also
connote safety or a safety belt. Wearing a harness in a dream means safety, and
that one does not interfere with others’ business or talk about them. However,
should one who has to appear in court see himself wearing a harness in a dream,
it means that his proof will not be accepted by the judge, and subsequently he
will lose his case. If the reins of one’s horse are broken in a dream, it could mean
the death of his driver. Reins in a dream also denote chastity, guardianship and
protection. They also represent the obligatory payment of alms tax which
cleanses and protects one’s capital. If the reins or the harness fall from one’s
hand in the dream, it means corruption in one’s religious life, a decline in his
devotion, or that one’s wife will become unlawful to him (i.e., living together
after a divorce), or that she will remain in his house without a legal marriage.
To see oneself bridled in a dream also means refraining from sin, or observing
a voluntary religious fast. A broken bridle in a dream is good for one who service
it and bad for its owner. (Also see Bridle)

Knee
(Brotherhood; Health; Kneelingin prayers; Movement; Partnership; Prayers;
Servants) One’s knee in a dream represents his efforts, toiling, purpose and
share in earning his livelihood. If the skin covering the kneecap appears healthy
and flawless in the dream, it means that one’s livelihood will become easier to
manage, and his financial standing will become stronger. However, if the skin
of one’s kneecap is detached or hangs loosely in the dream, it denotes coming
hardships. If the skin looks rough and swelling in a dream, it means that his
hard earned money will be lost in a bad investment, and subsequently his
earnings will be scarce and hard to get. Knees in a dream also represent the
condition of one’s health, movements, freedom and level of professionalism.
Healthy knees in a dream also represent travels or business activities. If a sick
person experiences knees pain in a dream, it may mean that he is nearing his
death. As for a traveller knees in a dream represent his travelling vehicle. They
also connote giving and receiving, quietness, one’s residence, savings, expen¬
ditures, or immobility. A broken kneecap in a dream means separation between
friends, or damage to one’s vehicle.

Prison
(Cage) Imprisonment in a dream means benefits, money and comfort. It
also could mean the reversal of one’s condition for the worst. Becoming a
prisoner in a dream also could mean making unnecessary and wasted efforts to
unveil a secret. In general, prison in a dream means difficulties and humiliation.
If one sees a known personality or a government administrator imprisoned or
jailed, it could mean the same. If one sees himself incarcerated in a large prison
in a dream, it means that he will stand before a strong person who will delegate
an important responsibility to him, and from which he will gain spiritual
advancement. If he is incarcerated in an unknown jail which is built from plaster
in a dream, then it represents his grave. If one sees himself locked and tied-up
inside a house in a dream, it means a positive advancement in his life. If in such
a place one sees himself being tortured in a dream, it means that his benefits
and profits will be greater. If a woman sees herself imprisoned in a dream, it
means that she will marry an important person or an older person. If in one’s
dream the prison is administered by a religious authority, it means that one
correctly prescribes to his religion. If it is a civil prison, then it means adver¬
sities, sufferings and distress caused by hypocrisy and by blaming others. An
unknown prison in a dream means the world. A prison in a dream also
represents an ill-natured wife, a difficult cause, silence, or controlling one’s
tongue, the perfidy of one’s enemy, accusations, allegations, associating with
rich people, one’s grave, suspension of travels because of an illness, losing one’s
drive, poverty, or unhappiness. Entering a prison in a dream also means
longevity, or reuniting with one’s beloved. If one chooses to live in a sanctuary
away from people in a dream, it means that he will be protected from sin. If a
sick person leaves his prison cell in a dream, it means that he will recover from
his illness. If a prisoner sees the gates of his jail open, or if there is a hole in the
wall, or a ray of light, or if the ceiling of one’s prison disappears and he can see
the skies and stars above him, or if he can see them through the walls of his cell
in a dream, it means that he will escape from jail. A prison in a dream also
represents the safe return of a traveller, or the death of a sick person. If one sees
himself imprisoned and tide-up by someone in authority in a dream, it repre¬
sents adversities he wishes for them to be removed. Walking out of such an
imprisonment in a dream means relief from such adversities If one is travelling,
it means that he is a heedless, and if he is sick, it means that his sickness is a
prolonged one. It is also said that imprisonment in a dream may mean that one’s
prayers are answered and that his difficulties and distress will be removed. If
one sees himself incarcerated in an unknown jail of an unknown location and
whose dwellers have uncommon appearance in a dream, such a prison then
represents his grave. If a sick person sees himself walking out of an unknown
prison, or out of a tiny house into a large open space in a dream, it means that
he will recover from his illness and fully enjoy his life. If one sees himself
incarcerated in a prison he does not recognize in a dream, it means that he will
marry a woman through whom he will prosper and have children. If one sees
himself tied-up inside his own house in a dream, it means that he will profit and
witness blessings that will show in his household members. If one who is
experiencing difficulties in his life sees himself tied-up to a chair or to a wall in
a dream, it means that his problems and fears will be dispelled. If one sees
himself building a prison in a dream, it means that he will meet a righteous man,
or an Imam who will guide him on the straight path. A prison in a dream also
represents paralysis, arrogance, self-deception, or incarcerating troublesome
people. If one sees a deceased person in jail in a dream, it means that he is in
hell. If one sees himself imprisoned in a dream, it also means that he may enter
a forbidden place, a house of a prostitution, or a tavern. (Also see Cage; Imam;
Mental hospital)

Marriage
(Cage; Digging a grave; Duel; Golden cage; Pearl; Sanctuary; Silver
cage) Marriage in a dream represents the providence of God Almighty and care
for His servants. Marriage in a dream also means imprisonment, indebtedness,
sorrow, distress, depression, carrying a liability, or endeavoring to achieve a
high ranking position. If one marries a known woman in his dream, it means
that he will endeavor to satisfy the normal responsibilities of a husband. If one
marries an unknown woman, and if he could not see her in his dream, it denotes
the nearing of his death, or it could mean moving from an old house into a new
one. If a sick woman sees herself getting married to a man she does not
recognize or know his name in a dream, it means that she may die from her
illness. If the man who sees himself getting married in the dream qualifies, it
means that he will attain a high ranking job or a suitable position. If one’s
wedding ceremony is made with witnesses only in the dream, it means that he
has made a covenant with God Almighty. If he performs a traditional wedding
ceremony with its celebrations and festivities in the dream, it means a new job,
or it could mean acquiring fame, or becoming renowned for one’s good reputation
or character. Marriage in a dream is also interpreted in association with a
trade. If one marries a woman who dies shortly after her wedding in the dream,
it means that he will perform a job that earns him nothing but hard labor,
toiling and stress. If one marries an adulteress in a dream, it means that he
is an adulterer. If one marries a vicious, aggressive or a dominating wife in a
dream, it means that his movements will be hampered with various restrictions.
If one marries a deceased woman in a dream, it means that he will revive a
profitable project he had earlier abandoned. If a man offers his mother in
marriage to one of his friends in a dream, it means that he will sell his house.
If a pregnant woman sees herself getting married in a dream, it means that she
will give birth to a girl. If she sees herself in her wedding night in a dream, it
means that she will beget a son. If a mother who has a son sees herself getting
married in a dream, it means that she will marry off her son. In general, the
marriage of a married woman, or of an unwed woman in a dream means
benefits. If a woman marries a deceased man in a dream, it means that she will
become lost and impoverished. If a married man sees himself getting married
to a second woman in a dream, it means profits. To marry the daughter of a
known man of knowledge in a dream means prosperity. If a sick woman marries
a man of knowledge in her dream, it means recovering from her illness. If a man
sees himself marrying a living relative who is in a degree of consanguinity that
precludes such a marriage in a dream, it means that he will sever his ties with
such a relative, or with her family. Otherwise, if that relative is already dead,
it means that he will contact her immediate relatives and establish a friendly
relationship with them. (Also see Cage; Duel; Sanctuary; Wife; Yoke)

Vice-regent
(Calif; Caliphate; Deputy; Human being; Minister; Ruler; Secretary
of state; Vizier) In a dream, a vice-regent represents someone whom people seek
for his knowledge, or to learn the mastery of his craft, or he could represent an
appointed justice of the peace. He also represents someone who inherits good
and bad qualities, or whose character is different privately from the way he
portrays himself in public. If one sees the vice-regent of the land in a stately
appearance, or if he sees himself in such a form in a dream, it denotes his good
state in this world and his success in the hereafter. Seeing him wearing an
unsuitable garment in a dream reflects one’s own state, or it may mean that his
current religious state is weak, though it may become better at a latter stage
of his life. A vice-regent or a calif in a dream also represents someone who
establishes the laws of his religion and follows the example of God’s Prophet,
upon whom be peace. Whatever he is wearing in the dream connotes one’s own
state, or the growing or diminishing of his devotion. If one who is promised
something sees the vice-regent or the calif in his dream, it means that his
promise will be fulfilled, and his wishes will come true. Seeing him in a dream
also means that someone from a different circle is backbiting him, or speaking
of him without his consent, or that people are reporting him to the authorities,
or that scholars are discussing him, or mentioning his work. A vice-regent or a
calif in a dream also represents aloofness, seclusion, truthfulness, volunteering
one’s services, commanding what is good and forbidding what is evil, developing
one’s own certitude and faith, repentance, abstaining from sinful actions,
imprisonment, sickness, or travels. If one sees himself being awarded the seat
of the vice-regent or calif in a dream, though he does not suit the position, it
means that adversities and temptations will befall the land, though the people
of knowledge and the righteous ones will escape such danger. It could also mean
that he will suffer humiliation, and that the people whom he manages may rise
to preside over him.

Porter
(Carrier; Carrying weight; Burdens; Forbearance; Serving others) In a
dream, a porter or a carrier represents a school bus driver who is entrusted with
bringing the children to school, then taking them back home. Whatever appear¬
ance he shows in the dream, it will indicate the mental state of the school bus
driver. A porter in a dream also represents someone who is carrying his own sins
and burdens. To see oneself as a porter in a dream means doing penance. If a
porter enters before a sick person in a dream, it means recovering from an
illness. (Also see Tithe collector)

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)

Son; Travels; Wife) Owning horses in a dream means prosperity, or victory over
one’s enemy. Riding a horse in a dream means dignity, honor and wealth.
Perhaps it could mean that one will befriend a noble person, or meet a good
companion on the road. Owning a mare in a dream means begetting a beautiful
son. If it is a nag or a workhorse in the dream, it means that he will live satisfied,
or that he may marry a rich and a noble woman who will bear his children.

for the husband to engage in marital intercourse with her. A gathering of horses
in a dream represents a gathering of women for a funeral or a wedding. Owning
a herd of horses, or taking care of their feed in a dream means presiding over
people, or it could mean managing a business. If a horse dies in one’s presence
in a dream, it means loss of his house or business. The fit of a horse in the dream
represent man’s own state. Descending from a horse in a dream means committing
a sin that will force one to resign from his position, or be dismissed from his work.
A hairy horse in a dream represents a large family. If the tail of one’s horse is
cut off at its end in a dream, it means that one may come to see the death of his
children and clan before his own eyes. If the tail of one’s horse is simply clipped
in the dream, it connotes his own death and that his name will be quickly
forgotten. If one is attacked by a horse in a dream, it means that a noble person,
or a young boy will stand to him and require a just retribution from him. A flying
horse with two wings in a dream means that one may be tried with affections
toward a perverted boy or a woman who will tempt him then follow him. If a
descendent of the family of God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, sees himself
flying on a winged horse in a dream, it means that he will rise in station and
preside over people. If one sees horsemen coming through the skies in a dream,
it means that a war may take place in that land. Riding a horse and holding a
spear in one’s hand in a dream means forcing people to do something, or forcing
them to pay what they owe. If one sees his horse drowning in a dream, it means
that he may die from an illness. Buying a horse and tending the money to the
seller in the dream means profits in one’s business, or earning money from
teaching. Selling one’s horse in a dream means doing good and being grateful
for it. If one’s horse bites him in a dream, it means that he will lead an army
in a war. If one kills a horse in his dream, it means that he will be awarded
status, rank and money. Slaughtering a horse for other than food in a dream
means spoiling one’s livelihood. If one sees a horse whose owner is not known
entering a town in a dream, it means that a noble person will enter that town
and people of his trade will fear his competition or his becoming a danger to their
business. If such a horse reverts his course and leaves that town in the dream,
it means that a great, though unknown person from that locality will die shortly.
Horses running across the streets in a dream represent a destructive rain or
devastating floods. A feeble horse in a dream represents the weakness of his
owner. (Also see Dung; Horse fright; Nag)

Angels
(Celestial beings; Heavenly beings) If one sees the heavenly angels (arb.
Mala’ika) coming before him to congratulate him in a dream, it means that God
Almighty has forgiven that person his sins and endowed him with patience,
through which he will attain success in this life and in the hereafter. If one sees
the heavenly angels greeting him or giving him something in the dream, it
means that his insight will grow, or that he maybe martyrized. If one sees angels
descending upon a locality that is raging with a war in a dream, it means that
the dwellers of that place will win victory. If the people are suffering from
adversities, it means that their calamities will be lifted. Flying with angels or
visiting the heavens in their company in a dream may mean that one will die
in the station of a martyr and receive God’s utmost blessings. If one feels scared
of the angels in his dream, it means that a fight, an argument or awesome trials
will befall that locality. In general, to see the angels descending from the
heavens to the earth in a dream means enfeeblement of those who have doubt,
and strength for those who have faith and certitude. If one sees the angels
prostrating to him in a dream, it means that all his needs will be satisfied and
he will be endowed with good conduct, good behavior and a blessed fame. If one
sees them looking like women in the dream, it means that he lies before God
Almighty. If a pious person sees an angel telling him in a dream: “Read God’s
Book.” It means that one will attain happiness in his life. If an impious person
sees an angel in a dream telling him: “Read your own records.” It means that
he may go astray. If one sees the angels giving him glad tidings and congratulating
him in a dream, it means that he will beget a blessed son who will grow to be
righteous and an example to be followed. If one sees a gathering of angels in a
town in his dream, it means that a pious man, or an ascetic, or a great scholar
will die in that locality. If one sees himself looking at the angels in the skies in
a dream, it means that he may suffer the loss of a son or his wealth. Seeing the
celestial angels (arb. Ruhaniyyeen ) in a dream means gaining honor, dignity,
blessings in one’s life, profits and a good fame, developing spiritual inner
insight, or becoming a business manager. Near the end of one’s life, one who sees
such a dream also will suffer from people’s slander and backbiting. He will also
lose his good reputation to people’s envy and evil qualities and he will live in
tight financial conditions. If one becomes an angel in a dream, it means tat he
will receive honor, power, overcome his adversities, dispel his distress and win
his freedom, or it could mean that he will rise in station. If one sees the angels
greeting him and shaking hands with him in a dream, it means that God
Almighty will endow him with wisdom, clarity and insight. Angels in a dream
also represent one’s closest witnesses, guardians, police officers or the emissar¬
ies of a ruler. Wrestling with an angel in a dream means loss of status. Wrestling

means that he has little care for his religion. If one sees a gathering of heavenly
angels together with the angels of hell-fire in a dream, it means enmity and

it is a sign of his death. If one sees an angel taking the form of a child in a dream,
it represents one’s future. If he sees an angel as a youth, the youth then
represents the present time and whatever events that will take place during it.
If the angel appears in the form of an old man in the dream, he represents the
past. If one sees the angels praying and asking for God’s forgiveness on his
behalf in a dream, it means that one’s spiritual and religious life will grow for
the better, and that he will become wealthy. If one sees angels descending upon
a cemetery in a dream, it signifies the presence of blessed and righteous souls
in that place. If one sees angels walking in the markets in a dream, it means that
the merchants are trifling with prices and playing with the measures. If the
angels who are in charge of punishing the sinner in hell walk before a dying
person and he does not fear them in the dream, it means peace and tranquility.
If one sees the angels teaching a dying person how to recite his final rites in a
dream, it means glad tidings and attainment of what his heart desires, a
guarantee of his safety, happiness, joy and of having a blessed and a good heart.
If he sees them angry with him or beating him or subduing and taming him in
a dream, it means that he may revert to sin, earn the displeasure of his parents,
disdain from complying with God’s commands, or he could even come to deny
the necessity of God’s religion. Such angels in a dream also represent the
emissaries of a governor or his deputies. If a dying person is told in the dream
that no angels have come to see him, then it is a testimony of his good character
and piety, or it could mean payment of one’s debts or recovering from an illness.
Angels in a dream also could represent scholars, gnostics or translators who
understand people’s languages and speak in many tongues. As for Munkar and
Nakir, the angels who come to one’s grave upon his burial to question him,
seeing them in a dream means prosperity for a poor person, and finding work
for a jobless person. (Also see Castration)

Blame
(Censure; Rebuke; Reprimand; Reproof) Blame in a dream signifies
pursuing Satan in his evil actions and it means failing one’s promise. Blaming
oneself in a dream means doubt, disturbance and confusion for which one will
be rebuked. He will then be relieved to pursue his enemy, to overcome him and
become free from people’s reproach. Blaming someone in a dream, means the
same in wakefulness, and consequently, one will suffer from people blaming
him. If one sees people showering him with money in a dream, it means that they
are speaking ill of him or blaming him. If one sees people praising him in a
dream, it also means that he is praiseworthy and does good. (Also see Censure)
Blanket: (Bed cover; Cover; Lioncloth; Mexican blanket; Overlay; Overspread) In
a dream, a blanket represents a woman. If one sees himself wearing a blanket
over a wrapper, or a lioncloth in a dream, it means marriage. If he sees a blanket
made of pearls in a dream, it means that his wife is a pious woman. Wrapping
oneself with a blanket in a dream means marriage, comfort, peace, tranquility
and strength. Wrapping oneself with a red blanket in a dream means a fight
because of a woman. If a blanket is stolen or burned or taken away from someone
in his dream, it means divorce or death of his wife.

Glass
(Clarity; Perception; Wisdom; Woman) In a dream, glass represents an
early stage of a temporary anxiety, depression or stress. Such condition is less
serious when glass is seen collected as broken chips in a container in a dream.
Seeing through glass in a dream means uncovering something that is hidden.
In a dream, all glassware, stained glass, engraved glass, or decorative glass of
green, red or yellowish color represent a suspicious person, money earned from
a suspicious source or suspicion about one’s wife, or even suspicion about one’s
true children, or it could mean eavesdropping, affectation or hypocrisy. In a
dream, any glass by-products represent people of knowledge, scholars, gnostics,
sages or people of wisdom. Buying a glittering glass ornament, or a house made
of mother of pearl in a dream means choosing the pleasures of this world over
the everlasting joy of the hereafter, or it could mean disdaining to obey God’s
commands, or it could mean becoming an apostate. A drinking glass cup in a
dream represents a woman. Receiving a glass of water in a dream means that
one's wife is pregnant. An unknown kind of glass cup or a roughly cut drinking
glass of water in a dream means that there is a fetus in the mother’s womb. If
the glass of water breaks and the water remains in the dream, it means that the
mother may die after giving birth and the infant will survive. If the water spills
and the glass remains intact in the dream, it means that the fetus may die and
the mother will survive. The breaking of a glass in a dream also denotes the
death of the one who is serving it. If a sick person is given a glass of wine, or
water, or a bitter apple drink, or a laxative in a dream such a drink represents
his last cup. (Also see Glass blower; Glass bottle)

Collarband
(Collar; Neckband; Neckwear) In a dream, a collarband represents
the pleasure and pride of a mother or a wife to see her sons or daughter having
a jewelry business. If an unmarried woman sees herself in a dream wearing a
neckband, a necklace or a collarband made from pearls, peridot or chrysolite,
it means that she will marry a noble and a high ranking man, beget children
from him and find her ultimate pleasure and love in such a marriage. If the
collarband is made from alum, then it means marrying a young eastern man.
If the collarband is made from beads in the dream, it means that her husband
is a mean and a contemptible person. If a man sees himself wearing a collarband
in a dream, it means suffocation, distress or a quarrel. (Also see Neckband;
Necklace)

Dye
(Color; Expose; Hair; Henna; Hide; Gray hair) Applying henna or a dye to
one’s hair or hands in a dream represents a pharmacist, celebrations, glad
tidings, tenderness, or it could mean compassion. Dyeing one’s hair in a dream
also means veiling or protecting one’s personal life and that of others. To dye
the gray hair of one’s beard in a dream means ostentatiousness and adorning
one’s merchandise or deeds to make them look better than reality. Dyeing one’s
hair in a dream also connotes a display of blessings and favors, or it could mean
dictating one’s conditions to his enemy, if the person is in such position.
However, if not, it means difficulties, aggravation, distress, debts or dropping
off one’s ties with those who love him. Interpreting woman’s dyeing of her hair
in a dream is the same as that of a man. To dye one’s gray hair in a dream means
strength, dignity and valor. Applying henna dye to one’s head and not to one’s
beard in a dream means emulating the traditions of God’s Prophet, upon whom
be peace. To dye both the head and the beard in a dream means concealing one’s
poverty, though one will keep asking people to pay him respect or to recognize
him in their circles. If one’s hair accepts the dye in the dream, it means regaining
one’s status, though with less emphasis on his pride, or it could mean that he
will make contentment his new ornament or trim. If one uses a dye other than
what is commonly used, and if it works in the dream, it means that he will be
saved from an adverse condition through miraculous events. If the new dye does
not work in the dream, it means that his true nature will be exposed and he will
have no solutions to protect himself from defamation or public abuse. If he tries
to dyes his hair with dry henna clay, and if his hair still accepts it in the dream,
it means that he is an ignorant person, though he will ultimately repent for his
sins, amend his actions and improve himself. If a woman sees her hands dyed
with gold in a dream, it means that she will give all her wealth to her husband
and that she will be satisfied to see him happy, though in reality she too will gain
power and status in her family. If a man sees his feet dyed and tattooed in a
dream, it means that he will be struck with family problems. A dyed hand in a
dream means hardship in making ends meet. If one dips his hand into a laying
corpse in a dream, it means that he will witness a conspiracy. If one sees his
hands dyed in a dream, it also means that he has reached the end of the rope
with his money or business. If one sees his dyed hands wrapped or bandaged in
a dream, it means that he will lose a trial or a fight with his rivals, or that he
will fail to meet such a challenge again. Dyeing only the finger with henna in
a dream represents branches of dates or clusters of grapes. In general, dyeing
one’s hands with henna or one’s hair with regular dye as a makeup in a dream
represents joy for the husband and wife as long as they do not exceed the norms.
Dyeing one’s hands and feet in a dream means redecorating one’s house. If a poor
person sees himself dyeing his hands or hair in a dream, it means that he will
cover up the loss of his ablution during prayers or during his reading of the Holy
Quran or during other ritual occasions where he is required to have ablution
before proceeding. It could also mean that he cares little about attending his
prayers. As for women, dyeing means happiness, new clothing, receiving gold,
or a wedding celebration. If the dye exceeds the required surface of the hands
or the feet in the dream, it means being struck with fear and worries caused by
one’s business or friends. If a man sees himself in a dream dyeing his hair or
beard with other than henna, it means that he will suffer from what he fears
most. Dyeing or suppressing one’s feelings for a sick person means recovering
from his ailment. Dyeing one’s hair black in a dream means hiding one’s bad
conditions, spoiling the benefits of one’s deeds, or hiding one’s evil intentions.
This is taken from the practice of Egypt’s Pharaoh who sometimes dyed his hair
black, thus trying to hide his appearance and ignorance.

Clouds
(Concealment; Gloom; Dream; Life; Rains; Skies; Soldiers; Sufferings;
Vapor; Water) In a dream, clouds represent the course of life which provides
people with rainwater to drink, water to wash their dirt, water for their crops
and sustenance. Clouds in a dream also represent knowledge, understanding,
wisdom, clarity as they show the divine kindness. Clouds in a dream also
represent an army or friends who carry the water and the water represents life
and the original element from which they were created. Clouds in a dream also
represent ships, airplanes, or if they are black or carry stones or bring thunder,
then they represent the antagonistic character of a leader who deprives his
people from their rights or causes them to suffer through restrictive laws or
harsh mandates. If one sees a cloud inside his house or descending upon him in
his room in a dream, it means that he will join the company of believers or
receives an award, or that he is endowed with wisdom, or should he wish for a
child, his wife will conceive one. If he is a merchant, it means that his
merchandise will arrive to its port of destination. If one sees himself riding over
a cloud in a dream, it means exaltation or marriage to a pious woman, or that
one will attend a pilgrimage should it be his wish. Otherwise, should he wish
for it, he will become renowned for his knowledge and wisdom. Should he
qualify, it means that he will lead an army, or that he will rise in rank, or that
he will be sent as an emissary of his government or as an ambassador. If people
are expecting clouds to water their farms, and should one see masses of clear
clouds carrying rains and coming in that direction in the dream, it means a
calamity. If the clouds carry poisonous rains or acid rains or polluted rains, or
if they are driven by heavy winds, or if they carry fires or dust or ashes or rocks
from a volcano, they mean that a calamity will strike that locality, or that they
will receive news about travellers the majority of whom will perish during a trip.
Clouds also mean innovations and man made religions that may spread throughout
the land. If one sees himself merging with the clouds in a dream, it means that
he associates himself with a person in authority or a wise man or a man of
knowledge. If one sees himself eating clouds in his dream, it means that he will
gain lawfully earned money from such a person, or that perhaps he may gain
wisdom. If one sees himself amassing clouds in a dream, it means that he will
learn wisdom at the hand of a close associate. If one sees himself mixing with
the clouds but does not carry anything out of them in a dream, it means that he
will mix with people of knowledge and learn nothing from what they say, or
practice nothing of what they teach. If one sees himself riding over the clouds
in a dream, it means that he may become famous for his wisdom and knowledge.
If one sees his own son turned into a cloud in a dream, it means that he earns
his livelihood from teaching wisdom or religious knowledge to others. Black clouds
in a dream mean wisdom, forbearance, honesty and joy. If the black clouds also
carry a threat or cause fear in the dream, it means that one will be reprimanded
by such a wise person. If one sees himself building a house over a cloud in a
dream, it means that he lives an honest life, earns lawful money and lives his
life with wisdom and integrity. If one builds a palace over a cloud in a dream,
it means that through his wisdom, he avoids committing sins. It also means that
he prospers from such a wisdom or builds a palace in paradise with his deeds.
If one sees a cloud in his hand and rain falling from it in a dream, it denotes the
wisdom he speaks. If one turns into a rainy cloud in a dream, it means that he
lives wealthy and benefits people from his money. If one turns into a cloud that
rains gold in a dream, it means that he will learn wisdom from a great man.
Clouds in a dream also represent the people in authority who do others favors
and ask for no reward. If one hears a human sound calling him from behind a
cloud in a dream, it means that God willing he will attend a pilgrimage. ( See
Invisible caller). A black cloud in a dream also represents a just judge, while a
white cloud represents a blessed and a noble justice. Clouds in season in a dream
represent benefits, profits and prosperity. A mass of black clouds carrying no
rain in a dream mean benefits, extreme cold, sadness or sorrow. Red clouds in
a dream mean distress, adversities or a sickness. A cloud covering a town in a
dream means blessings. If the person who sees such black clouds in his dream
is intending to take a trip, it will take place, though his safety cannot be insured.
On the other hand, if he is unhappy about something, then if he sees such a
dream, it means that his sorrow will be dispelled. White clouds in a dream are
a sign of work, a job or business. Rising fog in a dream means taking a journey,
or returning from one. Red clouds in a dream means lack of work. A gloomy cloud
in a dream means stress. If one sees clouds welcoming him in a dream, it means
glad tidings. If he is an evil person, it means a calamity and a chastisement for
his sins. If one sees clouds covering the sun in a dream, it means that the ruler
of that land is ill. If one sees himself wearing a shirt of clouds in a dream, it
means blessings that God Almighty has favored him with. Clouds in a dream
also represent virtues, miracles, favors, rains, love and blessings, because they
also appear when a prophet or a saint pray for rain or to shelter a blessed person
from the heat of the sun. Clouds in a dream also mean travel by sea or air.

Knife
(Dagger; Kitchen knife) In a dream, a knife represents the servant of the
house or its sire who strives to serve and benefit his family and friends. Its
sharpness represents the effectiveness of his commands, the force by which they
are carried, or one’s magnanimity and distinct personality. If a woman sees
herself carrying a knife, or if she gives someone a knife in a dream, it represents
her love for a famous person. A pencil sharpening knife in a dream represents
an author or a writer. A slaughtering knife in a dream represents a butcher,
while a soldier’s knife means strength and service. If a kindergarten teacher is
seen stealing a knife in a dream, it means that he is tempted by one of his
children, and that he may abuse him. A table knife in a dream represents a lazy

a table knife in a dream means voidance of a project one supports. A knife in a
dream also implies a proof. A knife in a dream also means acquiring strength
and prosperity at the hands of a servant or an employee. Swallowing a knife in
a dream means depriving one’s son from his inheritance, or stealing his money
or property. If one’s wife is pregnant, then seeing a knife in a dream means that
she will beget a son. If one who is going to appear in court sees himself carrying
a knife in a dream, it means that he will win his case. If one is given a knife as
a gift in a dream, it means that he will beget a son, or have a new brother. If
one is not expecting a son or a brother, then it means that he will receive money
or an inheritance. Cutting one’s hand with a knife in a dream means that one
will see wonders. Sheathing a knife in a dream means getting married. If one
is married, and if his wife is pregnant, then it means that she will beget a boy,
unless if what she carries with her in the dream is more suited for a girl, then
it means that she will give birth to a baby girl. If one needs a witness for a trial,
and if he sees himself carrying a knife in a dream, it means that he will find such
a witness. If the knife is sharpened in the dream, it means that one will find a
true witness. If the knife is dull in the dream, it means that his witness is
shabby, or that his witness may be hurt before the trial. If the knife is sheathed
in the dream, it means that the witness will cowered and the court will be
satisfied with one’s own testimony instead. On the other hand, a knife in a dream
could mean profits, benefits from a brother, a close friend, or a servant.

Necklace
(Decoration; Medal; Pendant) In a dream, woman’s necklace or earrings
if they are made of pearls represent a gift from her husband. If they are made
of silver in the dream, they mean a physical ailment, and if they are made from
beads in the dream, they mean being let down by one’s friends. A necklace in
a dream also represents women’s adornment. If a man wears a necklace that is
incrusted with gold, precious gems or sapphire in a dream, it represents a high
ranking appointment, carrying a great responsibility, or fulfilling an important
duty. If one’s decoration also carries some silver coins in the dream, it means
marriage to a beautiful woman. Wearing a decoration necklace that is made
from silver and adorned with precious gems in a dream represents a political
appointment which will be coupled with honor and wealth. If the necklace is
made from iron, it represents a political appointment that will expand one’s
power. If an ornate necklace is made of copper, then it represents mundane
profits. Wearing a necklace that is made from beads in the dream represents an
appointment with no authority. Woman’s necklace in a dream represents money
entrusted to her by her husband. As for a pregnant woman, wearing a necklace
in a dream means giving birth to a son. A broken necklace in a dream means
the impeachment of the governor of one’s town. As for a woman, a red necklace
in a dream represents a mask. A necklace for an unmarried woman in a dream

Cup
(Drinking cup; Goblet; Mug) In a dream, a drinking cup represents a woman
or a son or a servant. Golden or silver cups in a dream are better than glass cups.
A cup in a dream also denotes exposing hidden secrets. A filled cup in a dream
represents a pregnant woman, if the water disappears in the dream, it means
that she will give birth to a new child. A broken glass in a dream means death.
A broken glass in a dream also signifies the death of one’s wife. If one sees
himself carrying a glass of water, then if the glass falls and breaks, while the
water remains in his hand in the dream, it means that his wife may die soon after
giving birth to a new son. If the glass does not break and the water is spilled in
the dream, it means that she will live and the newborn will die. A cup in a dream
also represents a housekeeper, or it could mean money. The substance of a cup
in a dream is interpreted the same way as that of a woman. Eating a glass cup
in a dream means suffering adversities. (Also see Drinking; Mug)

Body 2
(Dwellings; House; State) In a dream, the human body represents his state,

toward others. Ifone sees himselfas a ram in a dream, it means that he will beget
a son from whose success he will earn his livelihood. Ifone sees his body turn

poverty and ignorance. The body in a dream is what envelops and contains the
human being. The body is like one's wife, a garment, a house, one's beloved, a

in a dream may denote any of the elements mentioned herein. (Also seeFoot; Leg;

Scholars
(Early companions; Legist; Masjid; Men of knowledge; Mosque; Reli¬
gious doctors; Righteous men) A scholar in a dream represents glad tidings, a
promotion, or a commendation and it represents one who acts upon what he
knows and says. Seeing one of the early scholars in a dream means increase in
one’s knowledge, for they were the wise representatives of God’s message on
earth. Seeing them also means increase in one’s wisdom, happiness, joy, and
one’s dream could mean that one will stand to admonish people or counsel them.
Seeing the early righteous people and the blessed companions of God’s Prophet,
upon whom be peace, in a dream means growth of one’s righteousness. If one sees
a scholar who is considered to be a reference in religious knowledge, and if one
accepts his admonition in the dream, though in wakefulness he does not follow
this school of thought, it means that he will be tried with an adversity that will
be remembered by people for sometime to come, though his testimony will be
accepted by the people. If a well-known early scholar appears in one’s dream
when the dwellers of that locality are experiencing adversities, economic
distress or a drought, it means that their calamity will be lifted. Seeing an
unknown scholar, or an unknown religious doctor in a dream means that a
physician or a philosopher may visit one’s house. (Also see Legist; Companions

Quran
(Garden; Holy Book; The Last Revelation) In a dream, the holy Quran
represents a garden because when one looks at it, it looks like a beautiful garden
and its verses are the fruit of knowledge and wisdom the reader can pluck.
Learning a Quranic verse, a saying of God’s Prophet (uwbp), a prophetic
tradition, or a craft in a dream means richness after poverty, or guidance after
heedlessness. If one sees himself in a dream reading from the pages the holy
Quran, it signifies honor, command, happiness and victory. Reciting the Quran
by heart and without reading the pages of the holy Book in a dream means
proving to be true, or having a true claim, being pious, commanding what is good
and forbidding what is evil. If one is told a verse from the holy Quran in a dream,
he should understand it, memorize it and comply with the same. If the verse
reads about mercy or glad tidings or other admonitions in the dream, the
interpretation of one’s dream should be the same. If the Quranic verses recited
in the dream connote an advice, one should act upon it in order for him to reap
its benefits. If one hears a Quranic verse containing a warning, promising
punishment for the disbelievers, or announcing a swift retribution for their sins,
then one should immediately repent for his sins, even if the verses relate to
previous nations or times. If one sees himself reciting the Quran and under¬
standing what it says in a dream, it denotes his vigilance, intelligence, faith and
spiritual awareness. If a Quranic verse is recited to someone, and if he does not
agree with the divine judgement in the dream, it means that he will suffer harm
from someone in authority, or that a punishment from God Almighty will soon
befall him. If an unlettered person sees himself reading the holy Quran in a
dream, it could also mean his death, or his reading of his own records. If one sees
himself reading the holy Quran without true interest in it in a dream, it means
that he follows his own mind, personal interpretations and innovations. If one
sees himself eating the pages of the holy Quran in a dream, it means that he
earns his livelihood from his knowledge of it. If one sees himself completing the
reading of the entire Quran in a dream, it means that a splendid reward from
his Lord is awaiting him, and that he will get whatever he asks for. If a
disbeliever sees himself reading the holy Quran in a dream, the verses of
admonition will help him in his life, the verses of punishment will be his warning
from God Almighty and the parables will denote his need to contemplate the
meaning. If one sees himself writing the verses of the holy Quran on slabs of
a mother of pearl, or on a piece of cloth in a dream, it means that he interprets
it according to his own liking. If one sees himself inscribing a Quranic verse on
the ground in a dream, it means that he is an atheist. It is also said that reading
the Quran in a dream means fulfillment of one’s needs, clearing of one’s heart
and establishment of one’s success in his life. If one discovers that he has
memorized the Quran in a dream, though in wakefulness he has not memorized
it, it means that he will own a large property. Hearing the verses of the holy
Quran in a dream means the strengthening of one’s power, reaching a praiseworthy
end to his life, and that one will be protected from the envy and jealousy of
evildoing people. If a sick person sees himself reciting a verse from the holy
Quran, but could not remember to what chapter it belongs in the dream, it
means that he will recover from his illness. Licking the holy Quran in a dream
means that one has committed a major sin. Reciting the holy Quran in a dream
means increase in one’s good deeds and rising in his station. (Also see Holy Book;
Pearl necklace; Reading)

Muhammad
(God’s Prophet Muhammad, blessings and peace be upon him; The
Seal of the prophets; The last Messenger) It is related that God’s Messenger,
upon whom be peace, has said: “One who sees me in a dream will see me in his
wakefulness, for Satan cannot impersonate me. ”He also has said: “One who sees
me in a dream, it is as if he has truly seen me, for Satan cannot impersonate me. ”
He also has said: “One who sees me in a dream will not enter the fire of hell. ”
Muslim theologians and scholars differ in opinion about the meaning of seeing
God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream. Imam Ibn Seerin used to ask someone who
tells of such a dream to describe the Prophet, upon whom be peace. If any of the
details did not fit his description, Ibn Seerin’s reply was: “You have not seen
him.” Asim Bin Kulayb once said: “I related to Ibn Abbas, God bless his soul and
that of his father, that I saw God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream. Ibn Abbas replied:
“Describe him to me.” Asim Bin Kulayb added: “I described him as resembling
Al-Hassan son of‘Ali, upon both of them be peace.” Ibn Abbas replied: “Indeed
you have seen him.” Ibn ‘Arabi once explained that the essence of seeing God’s
Prophet (uwbp) is cognizance of his presence and understanding the reality of
his character and example. Thus, recognizing the presence of the blessed being
is as affirmation of the truth, while seeing the physical form represents his
example and attributes, for being earthly does not change the essence of
prophethood. When God’s Prophet (uwbp) said: “He will see me in wakefulness,”
it means: ‘Expounding upon what he saw,’ for what one sees in such a dream is
the truth which resides in the realms of the unseen. In the second saying, when
God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, said: “It is as if he has truly seen me,” it
means that if one had seen him during the time of delivering God’s massage, the
example will be the same. Thus, the first saying signifies what is real and true
while the second saying implies the physical reality and its example. If one sees
God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, coming toward him in a dream, it means
blessings and benefits, and if one sees God’s prophet (uwbp) turning away from
him in a dream, it means the opposite. Al-Qadi ‘Iyad, God bless his soul, in¬
terpreted the words of God’s Prophet (uwbp) in his saying: “Has truly seen me,"
to mean: “has truly seen my physical form,” that the blessed companions knew,
while seeing him in another form in a dream means that one’s dream connotes
personal interpretations. Following the explanation of Al-Qadi ‘Iyad, Imam Al-
Nawawi commented by saying: “This is a weak explanation. A stronger inter¬
pretation is to say that one who sees God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream has seen
him in reality however his resemblance may appear. Whether the resemblance
in the dream is known or not.” In a separate commentary, Shaikh Al-Baqlani
added: “What Al-Qadi ‘Iyad has said does not contradict what Imam Al-Nawawi
has said.” This is because the first dream does not require interpretation,
according to Al-QadI ‘Iyad. In the second type of dream, that is discussed in
Imam Al-Nawawi’s comments, one’s dream does require interpretation or
analysis. This is to mean that since no Satan can impersonate God’s Prophet
(uwbp), then whatever appearance he displays in one’s dream is true. The
meaning of God’s prophet’s saying: “For Satan cannot impersonate me, ” implies
that since God’s guardianship (Isma ) is inviolable, and since God’s Prophet,
upon whom be peace, is sacrosanct, then as he was protected during the time
of delivering God’s message to humanity, he is still protected by the same
guardianship after God Almighty took him back to Himself. Thus, whoever sees
God’s Prophet (uwbp) in any appearance in a dream, it is as if has seen him in
reality, regardless whether one sees him as a young man, or at the time of
delivering his message, or as an old person. If one sees him looking old in a
dream, it means peace. If one sees him looking young in a dream, it means war.
If one sees him smiling in a dream, it means that one is truly emulating his
traditions. Seeing God’s Prophet (uwbp) in his known and recognized appear¬
ance in a dream means that the one seeing the dream is a pious person, that his
integrity is inviolable, and that his success is unquestionable. Seeing him
(uwbp) in a dream frowning represents the ill state of the one seeing the dream.
Ibn Abi Jumrah once said: “Seeing Him (uwbp) in a beautiful appearance
denotes the good religious standing of the person seeing the dream. Seeing him
with some disfeatures in a dream, a deficiency or distortion in one’s application
of his religious duties, for God’s Prophet (uwbp) is like a mirror that portrays
the one standing before it.” In this sense, the person seeing the dream can
recognize his own state. This interpretation is also given by Ibn Hajar Al-Hutaymi,
God bless his soul. Like that, in the book of ‘Sharh al-Shama-il’ of Imam Al-
Tirmithi, it is also stated that Satan cannot impersonate God Almighty, His
signs, prophets or angels. If someone suffering from distress sees God’s Prophet
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that his difficulties will be removed. If a prisoner
sees him in a dream, it means that he will be released form prison. If one is living
at a time of economic chaos, and if high prices are exploiting the people of the
land, or if injustice is tyrannizing everyone, then seeing God’s Prophet, upon
whom be peace, in a dream represents an end to such adversities. Seeing him
in his beautiful, radiant and impeccable appearance as best described by his
companions in a dream means glad tidings of attaining a successful conclusion
to one’s life in this world and in the hereafter. The state and clarity of one’s heart
and how well polished is his own mirror determines in what appearance he may
see him, upon whom be peace. If God’s Prophet (uwbp) comes toward someone
in a dream, or leads him in prayers, or if one sees himself accompanying him
on the road, or if one eats something sweet from his blessed hand, or receives
a cloak, or a suitable shirt, or if God’s Prophet promises him something, or prays
for him, then if the one seeing the dream qualifies for leadership, and if he is
a righteous and a just man who commands what is good and forbids what is evil,
and if he is learned and practices what he knows, and if he is a pious worshipper
and a devout Muslim, he will then attain the station and company of the blessed
ones. If the one who sees the dream is a disobedient servant of God Almighty,
it means that he will repent for his sins and return to his Lord. If he is living
in heedlessness, it means that he will be guided. Perhaps, he might attain his
goals in acquiring knowledge, or learn how to reconstruct his innermost being
to befit a human being who is grateful to his Lord. If one is fearing oppression,
persecution, or loss of his property and wealth sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it
means putting an end to such fears, for he is the best of intercessors to restore
anyone before God Almighty. If one who follows innovations sees God’s Prophet
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that he should fear God Almighty, heed to His
warnings and correct himself and particularly if he sees Him (uwbp) walking
away from him, or turning his back to him. Seeing God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a
dream also means receiving glad tidings and happy news, or it could signify
justice, establishing the truth, fulfillment of a promise, reaching a high rank
among the members of one’s family, or perhaps it could mean that one may suffer
from their envy and jealousy, or leave his homeland and migrate to another
country, or it could mean that he may lose his parents and become an orphan.
Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also could mean seeing miraculous events
( Karamat ), for his companions witnessed and testified to a deer greeting him,
a camel who kissed his foot, the broiled leg of mutton talking to him, trees
moving to give him cover, pebbles glorifying God’s praises in his hand, among
countless miracles, including his Nocturnal Journey and ascension ( Miraj ) to
the heavens to meet his Lord. If an ophthalmologist sees him in a dream, it
means that he will acquire great expertise in his field and become renowned in
the land, for God’s prophet upon whom be peace, did return the eye of his
companion Qutadah to its place and made his sight sharper than it was by God’s
leave, after Qutadah had lost his eye during one of the battles with the
unbelievers. If a traveller in the desert sees God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream,
or if there is drought somewhere, it means that rain will fall and springs will
gush forth, as water gushed from between his blessed fingers when he placed
his blessed hand over a half filled cup to quench the thirst of an entire army.
If calamities, starvation and drought has befallen a land and someone sees Him
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that such calamities will be lifted and life will return
to normal in that place. If a woman sees him in a dream, it means that she will
reach a high spiritual station, honor, righteousness, chastity, trustworthiness
and perhaps be given a blessed progeny, or if she is wealthy, it means that she
will spend her wealth on God’s path. Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also means
facing adversities, bearing patience and suffering from one’s enemy. If an
orphan sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it means that he will reach an exalted
station and the same goes if a foreigner sees him in his dream. If a physician
sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it means that people will benefit from his medicine.
Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also means victory over one’s enemy, or consolidating
and paying one’s debts, or recovering from an illness, or attending a pilgrimage
to God’s House in Mecca, or triumphing over one’s trials, or cessation of one’s
adversities, or fertility of a barren land, or the pregnancy of a barren woman.
If a visitor to his mosque sees himself in a dream coming before God’s Prophet
(uwbp) and finds him standing up, it denotes one’s correct religious standing,
and it means that he will have commanding authority over the Imam of his time.
If one finds him (uwbp) deceased in the dream, it means that a noble person from
the family of the person seeing the dream will shortly die. If one sees the funeral
of God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream, it means that a calamity will befall that
country. Following his funeral procession up to his grave (uwbp) in a dream
means that the person seeing the dream will yield to innovations. Visiting his
grave (uwbp) in a dream means receiving a great treasure. If one sees himself
as the son of God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream, and even if one is not one of his
descendents, it denotes one’s sincerity, true faith and certitude. Seeing God’s
Prophet (uwbp) by one person does not exclude the remainder of the believers,
but the blessings encompass all of them. Receiving something from him (uwbp)
such as food or a drink in a dream means benefits and profits. If one receives
food which substance connotes negative circumstances, such as a melon or the
like elements in a dream, it means that one will escape from a great danger,
though he will toil and suffer from hardships during his trials. If one sees that
one of the limbs that belong to God’s Prophet (uwbp) has become his own in a
dream, it means that he is following innovation and making changes in the laws
God’s Prophet (uwbp) brought to humankind. If one sees himself in a dream
embodying the form of God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, or wearing one of
his garments, or receives his ring, or sword, then if the person is seeking to
govern, he will attain that and the people will accept his leadership. If one is
suffering from persecution, or humiliation in the land, then seeing God’s
Prophet (uwbp) standing in a dream means that God Almighty will grant him
victory and make him rise above his enemies. If one is poor, his needs will be
satisfied, or if he is unmarried, he will get married. If one sees him (uwbp) in
a ruined place in a dream, it means that such a place will be rebuilt. If one enters

that place. If one sees him establishing the prayers ( Iqamah ) in a dream, it
means that the Muslims will reunite and dispel their differences. If one sees him
(uwbp) placing kohl over his eyelids in a dream, it means that he will find safety
and correct his religious stand, or it could mean that one will study and become
a scholar in the field of the prophetic sayings ( Ak&dith ). If a pregnant woman
sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it means that she will beget a son. If one sees him
(uwbp) having a black beard with no gray hair in it in a dream, it will bring
happiness, joy and prosperity to one’s life. If God’s Prophet (uwbp) is seen as an
old man in a dream, it means strength in one’s life and victory over one’s enemy.
Seeing him (uwbp) in his most exalted state in a dream means that the Imam,
or the ruler of the country will rise in station and that his authority will expand.
If one sees his blessed neck wide, it means that the Imam is holding firmly to
his trust. If one sees him (uwbp) having a large chest in a dream, it means that
the Imam or the ruler of the country is generous toward his subjects. If one sees
his blessed stomach (uwbp) empty in a dream, it means that the treasury of the
country is empty. If one sees his right hand closed in a dream, it means that the
Imam or the ruler of the country does not pay his employees, or distribute the
collected alms tax. If one sees his blessed right hand (uwbp) open in a dream,
it denotes the generosity of the ruler and his compliance with the distribution
of charities and alms tax as prescribed in God’s book. If his hands are locked
together in a dream, it means complications in the life of the Imam, or the ruler
of the country. The same will affect the life of the person seeing the dream,
including suffering from distress and adversities. If one sees his blessed leg
beautiful and hairy in a dream, it means that one’s clan will become stronger,
and his tribe will grow. If one sees the blessed thighs of God’s Prophet tall in
a dream, it denotes longevity of the Imam or the ruler of the country. If one sees
him (uwbp) standing in the midst of soldiers and everyone is laughing and joking
in a dream, it means that the Muslim army will be defeated and humiliated in
a war. If he is seen with a small army that is ill equipped and everyone is looking
down in the dream, it means that the Muslim army will triumph in that year.
If one sees him (uwbp) combing his blessed hair and beard in a dream, It means
that one’s distress and adversities will be dispelled. Seeing him (uwbp) in his
own mosque, or in any mosque, or in his usual place in a dream it means gaining

Prophet (uwbp) in a dream means prosperity and profits for a merchant, or the
release of a prisoner from his jail. Seeingoneself in a dream as the father of God’s
Prophet (uwbp) means that one’s faith will diminish and his certitude will
weaken. If a woman sees herself in a dream as one of the wives of God’s Prophet
(uwbp), it represents her growing faith. If one sees him (uwbp) looking into one’s
affairs in a dream, it means that God’s Prophet (uwbp) is admonishing the one
seeing the dream and commanding him to render his wife her due rights. To
walk behind him (uwbp) in a dream means following his ( Sunnah ) traditions in
wakefulness. To eat with him (uwbp) in a dream means that one is commanded
to pay the annual alms tax ( Islamic law) due over one’s money making assets,
or liquid assets, gold, silver, jewelry, savings, etcetera, excepting one’s home or
vehicle. If one sees God’s Prophet (uwbp) eating alone in a dream, it means that
the one seeing the dream refuses to give charities and disdains to help those who
ask for his help. In this sense, it is as if God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, is
commanding the person to give charities and to help the needy. If one sees him
(uwbp) bare footed in a dream, it means that one has neglected to do his regular
prayers. To see him (uwbp) and to shake hands with him in a dream means that
one is truly his follower. If one sees his blood mixed with that of God’s Prophet
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that one will marry a woman from among his
descendents, or that one will marry the daughter of a great religious scholar.
If God’s Prophet (uwbp) gives someone some type of greens or herbs in a dream,

Chewing
(Greed) To chew food other than for grinding or eating one’s meal in a
dream means an illness or loss of appetite. Chewing gum in a dream means
earning money coupled with ugly words that will grow to become a big fight and
that will lead to a court appearance. The source of it all begins with greed.
Anything that is chewed in a dream means an exchange of words. The only
exception to it is chewing a stick of sugar cane in a dream. In that case, it means
lauding someone or hearing pleasing words one desires to hear over and over.

Statue
(Idol) A statue in a dream represents falsehood, inventions, make-shift,
fiction, illusion, heedlessness, or a nice looking person who is full of deception.
Worshipping a statue in a dream means lying to God Almighty, or that one
worships what his mind tells him to worship, whether it is a physical object or
a child of one’s imagination. If it is acarved wooden statue in the dream, it means
that he ingratiates himself to rich people, or to an unjust person in authority
through his religion. If the statue is built from wood in the dream, it means that
one seeks religious arguments or disputes. If the statue is made of silver in the
dream, it means that one elicits sexual relationship with his servant, or with
a foreign woman, or perhaps just a friendship. If the statue is made of gold in
the dream, it means that one may commit an abominable action, or a religious
inequity, or seeks profits from someone at the expense of displeasing God
Almighty and consequently, one will suffer financial losses or health problems.
If the statue combines mixed material of bronze, copper, steel, iron, or lead in
the dream, it means that such a person uses his religious garb to make profits,
and that he often forgets about his Lord. A statue in a dream also means travels.
Seeing a golden or a silver statue in a dream also could mean prosperity. Seeing
a bronze statue of a young woman moving around in a dream means a good
harvest, prosperity, or travels. If the statue is bigger than life-size, then it
means a fright. Statues in a dream also represent one’s children, his sexual
drive, or his determination. If one sees himself worshiping a statue in a dream,
it means that he is engaged in falsehood, giving preference to his personal
desires and passions over obeying his Lord’s commands. If one sees himself
worshiping a golden statue in a dream, it means that he will solicit business
from someone who worships God Almighty, though he will also suffer losses
from such an association. It also means that he will lose his investment and it
will show the weakness of his faith. If one sees himself worshiping a statue made
of silver in the dream, it means that he uses his religion to make business out
of it, or to betray others through it, or that he will solicit the help of someone
to do evil, or that he may sexually abuse a young girl who trusts his religious
appearance. If one sees a statue and does not associate it with worship, or if
he does not see anyone worshiping it in his dream, his dream then represents
financial gains. A statue in a dream also means to be enamored with a woman
or a boy. Statues in a dream also could mean deafness, idiotic behavior,
dumbness, attachment to anything in this world, making an idol out of it, such
as one’s love and attachment to his position, status, business, wife, beloved,
house, or child, etcetera. If one owns a statue in a dream, it means that he may
marry a deaf, or a dumb, or a non-intelligent woman, or that he may beget a child
who will grow up having one or more of these defects. In whatever condition one
sees the statue in his dream, it will reflect on any of the above. A statue in a
dream also represents a generation. If the statue is missing something in the
dream, such defect will definitely manifest in one’s society. Seeing a statue in
a dream also could reflect one’s strength and determination. If one breaks a
statue, or lames it, or damages it in a dream, it means that he will vanquish his
enemy and earn rank and fame. If the statue in the dream portrays a particular
woman, or if it is interpreted to represent a specific woman, then she will be
quiet, intelligent and serene, or it could mean that she is stupid and has pride.

Tongue
(Interpreter; Pen; Speech writer; Stinger; Translator) In a dream, one’s
tongue represents his translator or his business manager. One’s tongue in a
dream also represents the chief cause of sin. Moving one’s tongue without
speaking in a dream means committing a sin. Seeing an increase in size, width,
or length of one’s tongue in a dream means strength and overcoming one’s
enemy. If one’s tongue becomes elongated with no cause for dispute or argument
in a dream, it means having a bad tongue, or backbiting others, speaking ill
about others, or using base and despicable language. Having a long tongue in
a dream also could mean clarity in one’s speech and eloquence in one’s expressions.
Having two tongues in a dream means acquiring a second language or a second

The human tongue in a dream also represents his pen and his signing authority.
If one’s tongue becomes long and reaches the skies in a dream, it means that he
will be impeached or deposed from his leadership position following his tyranny
and injustices. If the tongue of a leader or a ruler becomes long in a dream, it
also signifies the expansion of his power and the infallibility and effectiveness
of his commands. One’s tongue in a dream also symbolizes a milk sucklingbaby,
a lion in his den, or an intelligent warrior. Thus, if one lets a lion out of a lair
in a dream, it denotes his tongue, or hurting people’s feeling or reputation with
one’s tongue. If one sees himself without a tongue in a dream, it may mean the
death of an infant. If one has to appear in court and sees his tongue cut off in

important business deal. If he is a student, it means that he will not complete

husband in a dream, it means that she will flirt with him and show him
tenderness and love. Cutting off the tongue of a poor person in a dream means
giving something to an impudent person to shun off his evil. If a poor person cuts
off the tongue of another poor person in a dream, it means a fight between them.
If one’s tongue sticks to his palate in a dream, it means that he will deny or reject
someone’s right, refute the truth, or lie about a trust he received to keep for a
time. Eating one’s tongue or biting on it in a dream represents an act one will
regret. If a governor sees that in a dream, it means that he swindles people’s
money and receives bribes. Biting on one’s tongue in a dream also means
remaining mostly silent, withholding one’s advice, or controlling one’s fury and
anger. Biting one’s tongue in a dream also could denote gluttony. Cutting off
one’s tongue in a dream means invalidating one’s argument or proof, or
preventing him from asking for anything. The cutting off of a poet’s tongue in

in a dream means that one may preside over his own people. If he is a wretched
person, it means that he is a liar. If someone who is scared of something sees
his tongue in a dream, it means that he will lose his battle and become subject
to defamation and humiliation. If a wretched person sees himself having many
tongues in a dream, it means that he will have a large family. Having many
tongues in a dream also means speaking many foreign languages. If one’s tongue
is split in half in a dream, it means that he is a liar. Having many tongues and
of many colors in a dream means telling different and contradictory stories, or
it could represent a music writer. If people touch one’s tongue or suck it in a
dream, it means that they are acquiring his knowledge. It also represents people

wife, a barren woman, one’s spoken and irretrievable words, earnings, collecting

tongue in a dream represents one’s life or death, because for an animal, his
tongue is like a hand through which he takes things. If a scholar’s tongue is cut
off in a dream, it means that he will lose his argument, or it could mean the death
of his assistant, student or son. Losing one’s tongue in a dream represents the
malicious joy of one’s enemy, family, or neighbors for one’s losses, or it could
mean the death of a beloved, severing a relationship, or a plant disease that will
affect one’s fruit bearing trees. Perhaps losing one’s tongue in a dream could
mean separation between husband and wife, divorce, losing one’s job, or moving
to a new town. Having two tongues in a dream also means backbiting others,
or having two faces with people, for people say that so-and so has two tongues
or two faces. If the second tongue does not impede the person from speaking in
the dream, then it denotes his truthfulness, love and affection toward others.
One’s tongue in a dream also may represent something one fears, such as the
collapsing of a roof over his head, or it could represent an enemy. It also means
isolating oneself from people of knowledge and wisdom, or it could mean
remaining mostly silent, minding one’s own business, or offering devotion and
being grateful to God Almighty for His gifts and blessings. One’s tongue in a
dream also represents a captured prisoner of war, or a snake hiding in its pit.

Child
(Little boy) In a dream, a child carried in one’s arms means responsibility,

means that the glad tidings will take effect shortly. Seeing a mature child in a
dream means power and superiority. If one sees himself as a child learning in
school in a dream, it means that he will repent of a common sin he is used to
commit. If one sees one of the renowned people of knowledge sitting in a

Carrying a child in a dream means managing an inheritance or a financial
investment. If an elderly person sees himself roaming as a little child in a dream,
it means that he will commit an act of ignorance or lose his dignity, ideals or
sense of honor. On the other hand, if such an elderly person who sees himself
in a dream as a little child is suffering from depression or financial difficulties
or health problems, then it means relief from distress and good health and that
he will become free from his sins, like the day his mother gave birth to him. If
one sees that he has a little child who disdains from coming near his father in
the dream, it means financial promotion and enjoyment of one’s life. If one sees
a little child screaming in his lap in a dream, it means that he plays a string
instrument. Children in a dream also could mean either sorrow and pain or
happiness and joy. If they are one’s own children in the dream, then they mean
temptation with money. Children in a dream also could mean contentment with
little or loss of one’s means to earn his livelihood or they could mean money or
marriage or a flourishing business. Bereavement of a child in a dream means
the opposite in real life. It also means rejoicing, reunions, pleasures and earning
respect. Bereavement of a child in a dream is sometimes interpreted to portray
an intention of one’s children or wife to separate from the family. A little male
child in a dream represents worries, responsibilities, hard work, catering to
ignorant people or dealing with trivial and time wasting people. If a prisoner

little girl in a dream, it means that his adversities will be lifted. If he is poor,
it means that he will thrive for success and the little girl then represents his glad
tidings.

Crescent
(New moon) If the new crescent appears in its correct position in a
dream, it means begetting a blessed son or receiving an important appointment
or profits from one’s business. Seeing the gathering of several crescents in a
dream means attending the pilgrimage to Mecca. A red crescent in a dream
means a miscarriage. If a crescent falls to the earth in a dream, it means a
newborn. Seeing the new crescent when everyone else is looking an failing to
see it in a dream represents one’s death, or it could mean that one will be
aberrant and corrupt during that year of his life. Seeing the new moon at a time
other than the time of its birth in a dream means happy news, glad tidings, the
home returning of a long awaited traveller or having a newborn. The birth of
a new moon in a dream also denotes the truth of one’s promise, or it could mean
receiving money, for rent is usually due at the beginning of each month. The
appearance of the new moon or crescent in the wrong position, such as in the
South or the North in a dream means committing or witnessing a despicable
action that arouses abhorrence and that may die quickly, depending on how long
will that new crescent remain in that position. The new crescent in a dream also
represents a leader, an unexpected happy news or it could represent the cry of
a newborn or a rebel. If the new crescent stands surrounded with a gloomy
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

Diving
(Pearl fishery; Plunge) If one sees himself diving into the ocean for pearls
in a dream, it indicates his attachment to worldly treasures. If one sees himself
diving into the waters and finds out that he could get nothing out of it except
mud in his dream, it means distress caused by someone in authority. If one
brings a pearl out of the water in a dream, it means marriage or acquiring
knowledge or discovering a treasure. If one dives into a river and finds it difficult
to come out of the waters in the dream, it means that he will suffer from burdens
he cannot carry, or bear patience with adversities. Diving into the ocean to
extract pearls from oysters in a dream also means seeking knowledge or wealth.

Tears
(Pearls) In a dream, cold tears mean happiness while warm tears mean
sadness. Running tears over one’s cheeks without crying in a dream mean
slander that carries weight. Guarded tears in someone’s eyes that do not flow
over his cheeks in a dream mean storing illegal money, or disguising the
unlawful source of one’s income which one’s adversaries will eventually unveil
or expose. If such tears are finally shed in the dream, they mean that one will
willingly spend such money, or get rid of it to conceal his act. If one sees tears
running from his right eye and entering his left eye in the dream, it means that
his son and daughter may engage in sexual intercourse, and he must immediately
separate between their rooms, and teach them about the lawful and the
unlawful. Tears which come during yawning in a dream signify payment of an
unjust fine. Seeing tears during the daylight time, or under the sun, or in front
of a fire in a dream means business losses caused by one of these three elements.
Tears in a dream also signify loneliness, leaving one’s homeland, or yearning to
see one’s beloved, or they may represent pearls. (Also see Pearl)

Vomit
(Repentance; Throw up) Vomiting in a dream means returning things to
their rightful owner, divulging secrets, or of regaining one’s health through
control of his stomach. Throwing up clean food in a dream means ease in one’s
life. If a poor person vomits blood in his dream, it means receiving money,
begetting a son, or the return of a relative from a journey. If the blood is collected
in a bowl in the dream, it means that one’s son will survive a major illness, or
it could mean that one’s relative may come to stay with him. However, if the
blood is spilled on the floor, then it may mean the death of either the son or the
relative. If one’s intestines or bowels come out during vomiting in the dream,
it means the death of a child. As for a sick person, vomiting in a dream means
his death. Vomiting a snake in a dream also means death, or distancing oneself
from one’s enemies. Vomiting in a dream also means wasting money on food, or
unnecessary dieting for a poor person. Vomiting in a dream also has positive
connotations for a poor person, but has negative ones for a rich person. If a ruler
or a governor sees himself vomiting in a dream, it means that he will refund
people taxes he unjustly collected from them. If one licks back what he vomits
in the dream, it means that he is indifferent about repaying a debt that he can
easily afford. If one vomits inside a basin in a dream, it means repentance from
his wrongdoing, or it could mean giving a woman a share from unlawful money.
If one suffers during vomiting and finds the taste disgusting in his dream, it
means that he is forced to confess and apologize for his wrongdoing, though he
does not like beingcaught. It could also mean paying damages, health problems,
or it could mean a financial misfortune. Vomiting blood in one’s dre am means
repentance from sin, restraining oneself from indulging in what is forbidden, or
it could mean satisfying one’s debts, or fulfillment of a vow. If one drinks wine,
then vomits the same in his dream, it means that he has received some tainted
or unlawful money that he will remit to its rightful owner and repent for his sin.
If one gets drunk then throws up in his dream, it means that he is a stingy person
who does not take good care of his own family. If one swallows a pearl then
throws up honey in his dream, it means that he will render a correct interpretation
of some Quranic verses. Drinking milk then vomiting it in a dream means
turning away from the truth. Drinking milk and vomiting honey in a dream
means repentance from sin. Drinking blood in a dream then vomiting it as milk
also means repentance from sin. If one’s vomit is yellow and bitter in taste in
the dream, it means repentance after having paid the price of one’s crime. If one
vomits mucus in his dream, it means that he will voluntarily repent from
wrongdoing. Throwing up food in a dream means giving away something to
someone who needs it. Swallowing what one is throwing up before it leaves his
mouth in a dream means to go back on one’s word. Eating what one has just
vomited in a dream means prosperity and fame. Vomiting excessively in a dream
means that one will reach near his death or die from a severe illness.

Seeingthe moon turned to the dark side in a dream means dismissal of the chief

suddenly sees the moon in his dream, it means that his enemies will be

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

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.

means blessings and grace, for the Euphrates is one of the rivers of paradise.
Drinking from the Euphrates river in a dream also means being a pious, content

Fish
(Sea Life; Human being) In a dream, if their number is known, fish represent
women, but if their number is not known, then they represent money from a
doubtful source. If one sees a fish colony gathering at seabed, where he is fishing,
bringing them up and eating them raw as he pleases, or if he places them into
baskets and divides them into lots in the dream, it means that he will prosper
and invest his wealth in different ventures and savings plans. A whale in a
dream represents the minister of sea life, while the sea itself represents the king
or the country. A whale in a pond with his jaws opened in a dream represents
a prison. A large fish colony in a dream represents despised earnings, or earning
a large amount money one is accountable for its expenditure. Fishing in a well
means homosexuality, or it could represent someone who tries to tempt his
servant or his assistant to indulge in a loathsome act. If one sees himself fishing
in murky waters in a dream, it conveys evil, sorrows, or distress however it may
happen. If one sees himself fishing in clear waters in a dream, it means money
or hearing nice words or conceiving a son, while fishing in salty waters in a
dream means difficulties. If one sees himself fishing with a fishhook in a dream,
it means excitement, pleasure or losing benefits. A soft skin fish in a dream
means benefits for someone intending to trick or to swindle people’s money.
Mostly fishing with a pole and a fishhook in a dream means difficulties or slow
coming benefits, or a slow and loose business. Any large cyprinoid freshwater
fish or a barbel fish (cyprinus bynni; barbus ) in a dream denote positive benefits
for someone intending marriage or to enter into a business partnership. Seeing
a herring or any of its clupeid type fish in a dream represent evil work or toiling
for something one will never get. A fish in the pond in a dream is also a sign of
benefits, though may be little benefits. Seeing dead fish floating in the water in
a dream has an ominous connotation, or they could represent a hopeless case.
Taking fish from the water and eating them alivemeans profits, or an appointment
to a high raking position in wakefulness. In a dream, if a sick man or a traveller
finds fish in his bed it also connotes bad or a painful sickness or suffering from
arthritis, or he may drown because he would be sleeping with them. Seeing sea
fish covered with salt in a dream means lasting richness, because fish are
preserved in salt, or it could mean burdens. If one’s wife is pregnant and he sees
a fish coming out of his male organ in a dream, it means that his wife will beget
a son. If a fish comes out of his mouth, then it means speaking ill of a woman.
A fried fish in a dream means that one’s prayers will be answered. A broiled fish
in a dream means travels or seeking knowledge. A large fish in a dream means
money, while a small fish means difficulties, burdens and stress, because it
carries more spikes than meat, beside, small fish are more difficult to eat. Mixed
sized of different kinds offish in a dream represent money, trouble, liking social
events or mixing with all types of people, the good and the bad ones. Buying a
fish in a dream may mean marriage. Eating a rotten fish in a dream means
pursuing adultery and avoiding a lawful marriage. If one sees himself attempting
painstakingly to catch a whale in a small pond in a dream, it means money that
he will fight for, though he cannot get hold of it without having to cross major
obstacles. If one finds a pearl or two in the belly of a fish in a dream, it means
that he will marry a rich woman and conceives one or two sons with her. If he
finds a ring in the belly of the fish in a dream, it means that he will gain authority
and might. Finding fat in the belly of a fish in a dream means acquiring money
from a woman. Seeing oneself fishing on a dry land means committing adultery,
a sin, or it could mean hearing good news. Catching a fish with excessive bones
and scales denotes the necessity to pay one’s dues or to distribute alms tax on
one’s liquid assets, because one cannot enjoy his catch unless he first cleanse
it. Seeing sea fish swimming toward sweet waters, or river fish swimming
toward the sea in a dream means hypocrisy, falsehood or the rise of an innovator
or an impostor. If one sees fish swimming on the water surface in a dream, it
means ease in attaining his goals, exposing secrets, unveiling hidden past,
reviewing old books or redistributing an old inheritance. If one sees fish that
have the look ofhuman beings in a dream, it means business, trading or meeting
with an interpreter, or a translator, or associating with people of good character.
If such fish with a human face look beautiful, then one’s companions are good.
Otherwise, if the fish look ugly in the dream, then it means that he has
associated himself with evil companions. If one sees an aquarium in his house
filled with all types of catfish, or angelfish or similar fish that live in a home
aquarium in a dream, it means being charitable or taking care of orphans or
adopting children. If one sees himself reaching with his hand to the bottom of
the seabed to catch fish in a dream, it means that he will acquire extensive
knowledge in his profession and prosper from his trade. Otherwise, it could
mean that one will become a spy. If the sea opens and unveils its treasures, and
if one catches a goldfish from its belly in the dream, it means that God Almighty
will reveal new spiritual knowledge to him in order to help him understand his
religion and to receive guidance. If the goldfish leaves his hand and returns to
the sea in the dream, it means that he will join the company of righteous people
and saints from whom he will learn about the inner spiritual knowledge, or that
he will find a good companion for a journey he intends. If one eats a fish without
cleaning or cooking it in a dream, it means that he will speak ill of his own
friends, slander his associates, commit adultery, acquire money from trickery
and falsehood, or become inflicted with a dangerous disease or suffer from a
stroke. If one sees fish on the shore rather than in the water in a dream, it means
that he may change his profession. The different types of fish in a dream
represent human beings and their professions. A fish in a dream also could mean
that death will take place where it is found, because of the departure of its soul,
its stench, weight and one’s responsibility to bury the deceased. Eating a fish
in a dream also means receiving easy, lawful and enjoyable earnings. (Also see

Stocking
(Sock) In a dream, stockings represent wealth and prevention, as long
as they are not worn. Once seen worn in a dream, they mean business losses.

country, or it could mean that she will be deprived of her son. If the socks are
new and have a clean smell in the dream, it means that one regularly pays his
due alms, that he is praised for his character and that his money will grow in
a lawful way. If his socks are old or emit bad odors in the dream, it means that
he withholds paying the obligatory alms tax, that he is uncharitable, worthy of blame and that his wealth will quickly disappear.

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)

Shroud
(Wrap) A shroud in a dream means covering one’s private parts, or it could
mean having a secret affair, concealing one’s action while displaying a deceptive
appearance, or it could mean marriage with an incompatible spouse. Wearing
a shroud in a dream also may mean earning money from adultery. If one sees
a shroud and does not wear it in his dream, it means that he will be lured to
engage in adultery, though he will abstain. Being wrapped in a shroud like a
dead person in a dream means one’s death. If one’s head and feet are still
uncovered in the dream, it represents his religious failure and corruption. The
smaller is the wrap shrouding the deceased in a dream, the closer he is to
repentance and the larger is the wrap and more complete is his preparation for
burial in the dream, the further he is from repentance. (Also see Shrouding;
Undertaker)

Butcher
A butcher in a dream represents the angel of death. Taking a knife from
a butcher in a dream means falling sick, then recovering from one’s illness to
become strong and healthy again. In a dream, a butcher also represents a man
who causes destruction or evil, and particularly if he is seen holding his cutting
knife, or if he is wearing a white uniform stained with blood. If one sees himself
as a butcher wearing clean cloths, it represents longevity. A good looking
butcher in a dream represents a prosperous culmination of one’s life, or
changing one’s trade. If someone looks at him with despise or in the wrong way
in the dream, it means that something isunlawful in what he sells. If the butcher
is a man in the dream, he then represents the angel of death. Whatever place
he appears in will bear the consequences. A butcher in a dream also represents
an unjust person. In a dream, if one sees a butcher who specializes in selling
animal heads, he represents a guardian of people’s estates, or a treasurer of a
company, he also could represent adversities or death. If the animals’ heads
cannot be identified in the dream, and if they still have their skin, hair, and are
dripping blood in the dream, then it means the disappearance of the people of
knowledge and that knowledge will become selectively disseminated by political
leaders. Cattles’ heads here represent people in danger. Buying an animal’s
head from a butcher in a dream means asking one’s superior for a teacher for
a special training, a coach, a continuing education program, or a better job. If
a butcher slaughters an animal for fun in a dream, it means suspicion about
one’s spiritual standing. Walking in a butchers market in a dream means
adversities, sufferings, a quick death for sick people, loss of wealth for rich
people, or the fear of people who are under oppression, or the scare of a person
in debt concerning his family or property, or the fears of a person awaiting a
court judgment. It is also said that a butcher in a dream represents tyranny and
bloodshed. If a prisoner sees a butcher in his dream, it means that he will soon
be released fromjail. Seeing a butcher in a dream also signifies safety, dispelling
fears, protection, silence, vanquishing one’s enemy, or it could mean meeting
with a persuasive travel agent. (Also see Meat)

Door
A door in a dream represents the guardian of the house. An open doors in
a dream represents a source of income. The door of a house also represents the
wife. If the appearance of one’s door looks different from reality in a dream, it
means changes in one’s life. If it is broken or burned in the dream, it means
difficulties for the resident guardian of that house. If one sees a small door
within the main entrance door in the dream, it means that he will infringe on
the privacy of others bedroom. It also means that one’s wife may have a secret
affair, or that a betrayal may be uncovered in one’s house. If one sees lions
jumping at his door in a dream, it means that insolent people will pursue his
wife. If one sees himself seeking a door which he couldn’t find in a dream, it
means indecision. Entering a house from its main door means triumph against
one’s opposition. If the door of one’s house opens to the street in a dream, it
means that what one earns will be of benefit to strangers rather than to his own
household. The disappearing of a door in a dream means death of the head of
that household. Passing through a small door into an open space means relief
from difficulties. If one sees himself leaving his house from the main door into
a spacious green garden in a dream, it means entering the realms of the
hereafter. If one sees two ringlets or door knockers hanging at his door in a
dream, it means indebtedness to two people who are demanding to be paid. If
one sees fire burning his door in a dream, it means the death of his wife, or it
may mean his failure to properly manage that household. The gates of a city
represent a righteous governor. In a dream, the door of a house also represents
the protection it houses behind it, including one’s property, personal secrets and
family. If the door is well built in a dream, it means protection of one’s private
life. Otherwise, whatever maybe seen through such a door means exposing one’s
private life. If one sees a carpenter building him a new door, this means glad
tidings of health and wealth. If one sees himself unable to properly secure the
closing of his door in a dream, it means difficulties caused by his wife. If one sees
himself changing his door in a dream, it means moving into another house. If
one sees himself entering his house and locking his door in a dream, it means
protection against evil. (Also see Doorjamb; Door post)

ment, ties, etcetera. If it appears well trained, obedient and responsive in the
dream, it means walking in the company of an important person who is
surrounded with an impressive entourage. If one sees a falcon flying and
gathering a flock of falcons in a dream, it means building an army. A falcon in
a dream also represents an intelligent man who claims importance and dignity,
though he is unjust. If one receives or holds a falcon in a dream, it means that
he will bear a son who will become a very important person of his time. If one
happens to be a politician, it means that he will gain greater advancements in
his life. If the falcon flies away in the dream, it means that one will lose his seat
but retain his fame. If one catches few feathers of a falcon in a dream, it means
that some power will remain in his hand and serve his interests. Slaughtering
a falcon in a dream means the death of a king or a ruler. Eating falcon’s meat
in a dream means a financial endowment given by a ruler. If one kills a falcon
inside his house in a dream, it means that he will capture a thief. If a falcon flies
away from under one’s chair in a dream, it means that he will walk in the
company of a person whose earnings are unlawful. (Also see Indian falcon; Sakr)

hardship, pressure, or sorrow. It also could mean satisfaction of one’s needs,
fulfillment of one’s desire, marriage, partnership, exposing a secret, working

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¬

acquire knowledge, and grow in piety. Eating its fruit in a dream means an
illness. Climbing this tree in a dream means stress and difficulties. If one

relative. A ring in a dream also connotes a band, an encumbrance, or a shackle.
If one’s ring disappears and only the stone remains in the dream, it means that
once the responsibilities are gone, good memories of the person will remain. A
man wearing a golden ring in a dream represents innovation, and the results
will bring about afflictions, betrayal, or a revolt. Wearing a tight ring in the
dream means that one will be let off from a vicious woman, or that he will be

ascetic receives a silver ring from God Almighty in a dream, it means his
salvation on the Day of Judgment. If he receives a silver ring from God’s
Messenger (uwbp) in a dream, it represents a gift of a greater knowledge. If it
is gold, iron, or copper, then it has negative consequences, because iron rings

in one’s dream is better than wearing a heavy ring. Heavy rings in a dream also
may connote an assassination or deceit. On the other hand, large rings in a
dream also can be interpreted to mean something great, or something which
entails sizable benefits. Lead rings in a dream mean weak authority. If one
sends his ring to some people who returns it to him in the dream, it means that
he is asking to betroth someone from such a family, but his request will be
declined. If one sees his ring being forcefully pulled out from his finger in a
dream, it means that he will lose his rank or whatever the ring represents to

Prophet
In a dream, each one of God’s prophets, upon all of them be peace and
blessings, is like a compassionate father toward his son, who is trying to save
his child from the hell of this world and the hell-fire in the hereafter. In a dream,
a prophet also represents a teacher, a tutor, a shaikh, a warning, or glad tidings.
If one sees them standing in a stately form, or if one prays behind them, or
follows them on the road, or eats something from their delicious food, or drinks
from their drink, or if one is anointed with their perfume, or learns something
from them, or acquires a particular knowledge from them in a dream, it
demonstrates his trueness, faith in God’s oneness, following His Messenger and
being faithful to his traditions. Otherwise, if one walks before them, or leads
them into a narrow lane, or stones them, or mocks them, or argues with them
in a dream, it means that he is an innovator and a heedless person. This could
also mean that he will be persecuted by his superiors, for a prophet in a dream
also represents a ruler or a king, and God’s prophets are in truth the guardians
of the souls, and they are kings in this world and in the hereafter. A prophet in
a dream also represents a religious scholar, because religious scholars are the
heirs of the prophets, upon all of them be peace. Religious scholars also know
God’s prophets better than the common people. They understand their message
and follow their traditions of glorifying God’s Oneness, devotion, piety, prayers,
charity, acting upon what they know and admonishing others to follow the path
of truth and righteousness. A prophet in a dream also represents one’s superior,
a preacher, a righteous Imam, a conscientious teacher and a caller to God
Almighty. Seeing any of God’s prophets looking gracious, stately and courtly in
a dream also represents his people’s devotion, or that a major and a positive
change will take place among his followers. If such a prophet looks spurious,
unhappy in a dream, or if he appears in a state that does not befit God’s prophets,
it means that his followers in the world have deviated from his path and created
their own religion, opposing his commands, falsifying and interpreting his
message to their own liking and abusing his admonition. If one claims to be a
prophet in a dream, it means that he will become known in his field, or if he
qualifies, he may become a ruler, a judge, a teacher or a caller to God Almighty,
commanding what is good and forbidding what is evil. Otherwise, it means that
he will be inflicted with a great calamity because of a falsehood he fosters, or
innovations he practices. If one becomes a messenger in a dream or a caller to
God Almighty, and if someone hearkens to him and accepts his message in the
dream, it means that he will rise in rank. Otherwise, it means that he will
become a broker, a liar, a defrauder, a swagger, depending on his level of
knowledge, or it could mean that he will be struck with a major calamity in his
life. Such a calamity will be of the same caliber, degree and nature that a
messenger of God Almighty may have suffered from his own people. Seeing one
of God’s prophets in a dream also means living the experience of time, space and
condition in which he saw him in the dream. Wearing the cloak of one of God’s
prophets in a dream means attaining one’s goals, or presiding over people, or
acquiring true knowledge. Consequently, one will become renowned, revered
and his opinions will be respected by most people. If one becomes a prophet in
a dream, it means that he will die as a martyr, or become poor and be gifted with
patience and endurance. He will then be granted victory, and God willing, all
his needs will be satisfied. Emulating the devotion of a prophet in a dream
means trueness in one’s faith, compliance with God’s religion, certitude and
determination. Becoming one of God’s prophets, upon all of them be peace and
blessings, in a dream means commanding good and forbidding evil, suffering
from adversities and distress equal to those endured by such a prophet, then one
will escape from destruction or humiliation by God’s leave and through His
subtle kindness. If one sees a prophet suffering from poverty and asking for help
in a dream, it means that God Almighty will satisfy all the needs of the person
seeing such a dream for the sake of the blessings reserved for that prophet. If
one kills a prophet in a dream, it means that he will betray a trust, negate a
promise, or deny a covenant. Living in the time of one of God’s prophets on earth
in a dream means honor, dignity, success, piety and wealth if one is suited for
such gifts. Otherwise, it means that Satan is deceiving him. If a prophet of God
Almighty beats a righteous and a sincere believer in a dream, it means that he
will attain peace and salvation in his life in the hereafter. If a prophet talks to
someone in a dream, it means that he will receive blessings, honor, status,
knowledge, wisdom and fame in his life. (Also see Muhammad, upon whom be
peace.)

Sparks
In a dream, sparks represent ugly words. If one sees sparks hitting him
in a dream, it means that he will hear harsh words pronounced against him by
someone in authority. If one’s clothing ignites and burns from sparks in the
dream, it means aggravation of his condition. If smoke engulfs the sparks in
one’s dream, then they represent an awesome adversity. Whenever smoke
appears in one’s dream, it represents an appalling and a horrifying calamity.
If the sparks cause secondary burns in the dream, then they represent a weak
enemy who slanders him and one may bear the consequences of such slander
with patience, and its evil and fire will eventually diminish. If one sees a major
eruption of sparks in his dream, they represent a major calamity. If a spark falls
in the midst of a gathering in the dream, it means a fight and harm. Sparks in
a dream also represent one’s children. If sparks burn one’s face in a dream, they
mean continuous suffering and disturbances. Sparks in a dream also mean evil
deeds, sins and crimes that call for punishment in hell-fire. (Also see Flint Stone)

Earrings
In a dream, woman’s earrings or necklace if they are made of pearls, they
represent a gift from her husband. If they are made of silver in the dream, they
mean a physical ailment, and if they are made from beads in the dream, they
mean being let down by one’s friends. Seeing one’s wife wearing earrings in a
dream means engaging in a profitable business. If a man sees himself wearing
a pair of beautiful earrings which are mounted with pearls in a dream, it means
that he will enjoy wealth, prosperity and comfort in this life, or it could mean
that he will memorize the Holy Quran. If a woman sees herself wearing a pair
of silver earrings in a dream, it means that she will conceive a son who will grow
to be a pious man. If they are made from pearls, then her future son will sing
with music. As for an unmarried woman, wearing a pair of earrings in a dream
means marriage. If one sees a child wearing a pair of earrings in a dream, it
represents beauty, though it is not praiseworthy if an adult or a man is seen in
a dream wearing a pair of earrings or even a single earring. In their case, it
means engaging in a loathsome and disgraceful action. Wearing a pair of
earrings in a dream also means acquiring a knowledge that exalts the person
and raises him in station. It also could mean having musical inclinations, or
having a picnic. (Also see Gold; Ornaments)
