the dream, then it represents good business for everyone and increase in their
profits, though hypocrisy will later on spread among the people. Otherwise, if
one finds the shops closed, the merchants drowsing and spiders webs spreading
in every corner and covering the merchandise in the dream, it means stagnation
of business or suffering major losses. Seeing the marketplace in a dream is also
interpreted to represent the world. Whatever affects it will show in people’s
lives, in their mosques, churches, or temples including their profits, losses,

pregnancy means wealth, and man’s pregnancy means pain and sorrow. However,
generally speaking, pregnancy in a dream also could mean prosperity and
material success. The extent of wealth is measured by the number of months of
such pregnancy and the size of one’s growth in the dream. This is true whether

one sees a ruler or a governor handwriting a copy of the Holy Book in a dream,
it means that he is a just person who uses the divine laws in making his decision.
If a judge sees himself handwritings copy of the Holy Book in a dream, it means
that he does not share his knowledge, and that he is audacious about his rank
and status. If a religious scholar or a theologian sees himself writing a copy of

revelations in a dream means that one may preside over people. If one sees

that he portrays himself to be what he is not, or that he impersonates a scholar,
or pretends to be religious. Kissing the Holy Book in a dream means revering
what it contains and adhering to what it commands. If one looks into the pages
of the Holy Book and finds its lines crooked in a dream, it means that he lives
satisfied with what he has, and fulfills his required duties accordingly. Stealing
a copy of the Holy Book and hiding it in a dream means that one cheats in
performing his own prayers, or fails to do them properly. If one sees himself
looking in the Holy Book, then writing from what he is reading on his own
garment in the dream, it means that he interprets the Quranic revelation

inheritance, and benefit from the piety of his father, and as a trust, a lawful
earning and a source of strength in his life. Buying a copy of the Holy Book in

religious scholar. If the Holy Book is snatched away from someone’s hands in

If one sees himself spreading the pages of the Holy Book on a flat surface in a
dream, it means that he is seeking wisdom which he will get, or that he may
receive an inheritance. If one sees himself putting the Holy Book over his
shoulders in a dream, it means that he will receive an appointment, or be
entrusted with a duty to guard, or that he will memorize the Holy Quran. If one

he is a regular reader of the Quran. If one sees himself trying to eat the pages
of the holy Book but is unable to do so in a dream, it means that he tries to

Charity
(Detergent; Discards; Filth; Loan; Tithe) Charity in a dream means
repelling calamities, recovering from illness, profits or truthfulness. This is also
true when it comes to earning one’s money lawfully, but if one gives a dead
animal or alcohol or a stolen or mismanaged money in charity, then his charity
is not acceptable and it means that he will pursue evil and indulge in sin. If a
farmer who is having a bad harvest sees himself giving some of what he plants
in charity in a dream, it means that his crop will increase and his produce will
be blessed. If one donates his charities to a rich person in a dream, it means that
he may suffer from tight financial circumstances, or that he may come to be in
need of such a person. If one gives a charitable donation to a prostitute in a
dream, it means that she will repent of her sin. If he gives a charity to a thief
in a dream, it means that the thief will cease his profession. Charity in a dream
also could mean suppressing the envy or spite of one’s rivals or subdue the

an angry person sees himself secretly distributing charity in a dream, it means
that God Almighty has forgiven him his sin of anger. Giving charity in secret
in one’s dream also could mean seeking the friendship of people in authority, or
to join the circles of people of knowledge. If a man of knowledge is asked to give
money in charity, and if he complies in his dream, it means that he will expound
his knowledge to others. If he is a merchant, it means that he will benefit others
with his business or teache them his trade. If he is a craftsman, he will teach
people his craft. If one who is under pressures, or if one is scared of something
sees himself feeding a beggar who is undergoing his own trials in a dream, it
means that one’s fears and stress will be dispelled. Charity in a dream also
denotes celebrating God’s praises, devotion, visiting the graveyards and doing
good. To spend money on God’s path in a dream means that one will surely
receive money in wakefulness. (Also see Alms tax; Endowment; Good deeds;

adornment, money, prosperity, or children. If a man sees his hands dyed with
henna in a dream, it means that he keeps praising his Lord. If only the right
hand is dyed with henna but looks ugly in the dream, it means that he may
commit a murder. Dying one’s hands with henna in a dream also means
carelessness about exposing one’s good and bad qualities in public, or it could
mean that he delivers his merchandise or work in any condition without
acknowledging blame, fault, or recognizing his improper behavior with his
customers. If one’s hands are tattooed with henna in a dream, it means that he
cheats to acquire his earnings. Eventually, he will be exposed and his opponents
will rejoice at his misfortune. If a woman sees her entire body dyed with henna
in a dream, it means having a good relationship with her husband. If after
applying the henna to her hands, the dye does not work in a dream, it means
that her husband does not show his love for her. If only the fingers are dyed with
henna in a dream, they then represent branches of dates, or clusters of grapes.
In general, dyeing one’s hands and hair with henna as a makeup in a dream
represents joy for the husband and wife as long as they do not exceed the
common norms. (Also see Dye; Tattoo)

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

advancement in one’s spiritual life. If one’s food turns bitter or sour in the
dream, it means changing a spouse or a job. If one cookes a tasty meal in a dream,
it means attaining a high ranking job, or it could mean prospering after
suffering from a painful poverty. If someone else cooks one’s meal in the dream,
it means dealing with a treachrous person and in this case, it means that one
should fear for his life or about doing business with him, or it could mean that
he may receive a helping hand in doing his job. If one eats an unbearably hot
food in a dream, it means adversities. If one finds his mouth filled with food, and
if there is still a cavity for more food in the dream, it means confusion, or it could
represent the balance of his life in this world. If one manages to grind and
swallow the food in his mouth in a dream, it means that he will overcome his
difficulties. Receiving a sour or a bitter tasting food from someone in a dream
means hearing harsh words, and the same interpretation is given if one offers
someone sour or bitter food in a dream. If he eats it, then it means sorrow,
sadness and distress. If one finds himself eating it patiently and thanks God
Almighty for it in the dream, it means that he will escape from such dangers.

Mountain
A mountain in a dream represents a great and a noble man who
possesses a strong and a commanding voice, who commands good administration
of his affairs and an excellent leadership. It also can be interpreted as a son, a
difficult and austere woman, or a businessman. If the mountain is rounded or
flat in the dream, it means difficulties or distress. A mountain in a dream also
could mean achieving one’s goal, a journey, or fulfilling a promise. If the
mountain is standing distinct from other mountains in the dream, the above
meanings become stronger. If the mountain has pasture and stores a source of
water, and if it is used as a permanent guarding post, then it represents a pious
ruler. However, if it stores no water, and if no pasture grows therein in the
dream, it represents a tyrant and a ruler who is an atheist, for in that case, it
is dead and does not glorify God Almighty, nor can people benefit from it. In a
dream, a mountain that stands high is alive, but a crumbling mountain which
has turned into a pile of rocks is dead. If a person sees himself climbing an erect
mountain, eating from its plants and drinking from its water, and if he qualifies
to govern, it means that he will be appointed to a governing post under the
auspices of a stringent ruler, though his subjects do receive benefits from his
government. The size of benefits the governor will acquire is equal to the
quantity of food and the measure of water he drinks from it in his dream. If the
person is a merchant or a business man, a mountain in his dream represents
profits and earning a good reputation. If climbing the mountain is easy, then
there are no benefits in that climbing in the dream, for there are no benefits
without hardships. If at the end of his climbing one thanks God Almighty for
what he has reached in the dream, it means that he will become a just ruler.
If he calls to prayers on the top of a mountain or performs his prayers thereat
in the dream, it means that he will be appointed to govern. If one sees himself
descending a mountain in a dream, it means loss of rank, business losses, or
regret. If one is accompanied with his king and soldiers in a dream, it means
that he is in the company of God Almighty and that of His angels, therefore,
he shall be victorious, whereby, he can win a war, conquer an enemy, or
renounces his attachment to the world. If climbing a mountain with difficulty
means distress, then descending it in a dream means relief. If climbing means
gaining a higher station, then descending in a dream means losing rank. If one
sees himself climbing a mountain, though at a certain height he finds himself
no longer able to climb or to descend in the dream, it means that he will die
young. If one sees himself falling from a mountain in a dream, it means that he
will fall into sin. If he falls and breaks a leg in the dream, it means that he will
become despised by his superiors. A mountain on fire in a dream represents the
death of a dangerous person. Leaning against a mountain in a dream represents
friendship with someone in authority. Living in the shadow of a mountain in a
dream means earning one’s livelihood from such a person and living happily
there. Carrying a mountain in a dream means carrying the responsibility of
managing the business of a notable merchant, and such responsibilities will
bear heavy on him. If the mountain is radiant with lights, it means that one’s
responsibilities will be light too. If he sees a mountain descending from the
heavens in a dream, it represents a visit of the local governor to that locality.
If one sees the mountain rising into the skies in a dream, it means that the
governor of that town will be dismissed. Throwing stones from the top of a
mountain in a dream means insulting others. If the mountain is beautifully
dressed in the dream, it means that one will command a greater authority.
Seeing a mountain at a distance in a dream means a journey. If one sees an
earthquake hitting a mountain in a dream, it means that calamities will befall
that land or country. If an evildoer sees a mountain in his dream, it means that
he will surely suffer for his sins. Swallowing a mountain in a dream means
commanding and controlling ruthless and strong men. Climbing a mountain
until one reaches a flat surface in a dream means serving orphans, or nursing
sick people. Entering a cave inside a mountain in a dream means reaching
safety. The good or evil emanating from seeing a mountain in one’s dream
depend on its fertility or bareness. Climbing a mountain and enjoying its
vegetations and its sweet fresh waters in a dream means sheltering one’s
chastity in the company of one’s wife, or learning a knowledge or a trade that
will satisfy one’s needs. Climbing a mountain through a straight path in a dream
means facing things the way they are. If one sees mountains moving forward
with him, it means a war or a major conflict between people of knowledge.
Falling down from the top of a mountain into the middle of beasts, crows,
vultures, snakes, mammals, mire, filth, or rats and their different kinds in a
dream means abstaining from sins, or refraining from innovation if escaping
from them leads one into a mosque where he can enter to pray, or a garden where
he can rest in peace. If the mountain crumbles, and if it is transformed into ashes
or dirt in the dream, it means that whoever is meant in that dream shall lose
his devotion and waste his life. (Also see Ascending in the skies)

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

represent women or men of different tempers or personalities. Trees in a dream
also represent fights. Unknown trees mean distress, worries, adversities and
fears, particularly if one sees them in the dark in his dream. Sitting under the
shade of a tree in a dream means profits and money, or it could mean dependence

things, forgetfulness, celebrations, or sadness. In a dream, any kind of large
trees that do not shed their leaves in the winter represent longevity, richness,
jealousy, or steadfastness in one’s religion. Climbing a tree in a dream means
escaping from danger, or carefully avoiding something worrisome. Seeing an
unknown tree inside one’s house in a dream means that fire may consume such

or assisting entourage will be as many as those who walk in his funeral in the
dream. However, he will conquer people and ride over their shoulders. If one dies

friendship. An incense burner or holder in a dream represents a certitude that
is praiseworthy. Perfume in a dream basically means good, though to a bedridden

inermis, bot.), or fumigating oneself with sweet incense, though there is a
danger that could arise from the smoke in the dream. Perfuming oneself with
amber in a dream means increase in earnings that will come through the labor
of a rich person who is associated with the one seeing the dream. The seeds of
any dark colored perfume such as carnation, clove, or their powder, etcetera,
means receiving praises. The elements encompassed herein include: richness
after poverty, knowledge after ignorance, peace with one’s adversaries, bribery,
divulging one’s secrets, ingratiating oneself to a superior for personal gains, or

In a dream, perfuming oneself with incense also means using an amulet or a
charm to repel jealousy, or to break through the stratagem of sorcery. Incense
in a dream also means using charm to bring peace, tranquility and profits if one

the fields in a dream means that he will conceive a son, and for an unwed person
it means that he will get married, while for a businessman in a dream, it means
increase in his profits. Seeing a green crop in a dream means longevity, while
a dried crop signifies the near end of one’s life. Planting wheat in a dream means
