Ritual bath
(Ablution; Ghusul: Ritual ablution; Wash) A ritual bath ( arb. Ghusul.
Islamic Law) is customarily performed on a festival day, or before the Friday
congregational prayers, before starting a pilgrimage, after recovering from an
illness, or is necessitated by the emission of sperms either during one’s sleep or
following a marital intercourse. A ritual ablution is also given to a deceased
person before his funeral and burial, or otherwise is taken by the undertaker
himself after washing the dead. To take a ritual ablution in a dream before the
Friday congregational prayers means purifying oneself, washing oneself from
sin, repenting from sin, serving one’s parents, or being true to one’s friends.
Taking a ritual ablution for any of the above reason during the wintertime and
using cold water in the dream means distress, trouble or a sickness. If hot water
is used, then it means profits, benefits and recovering from sickness. Taking a
ritual ablution in a dream before attending a festival means getting married.
Taking a ritual ablution after seeing either a solar or a lunar eclipses in a dream
means an adversity, and the same applies if one takes a ritual ablution in a
dream before the prayers of asking for rain. To take a ritual ablution after
washing a deceased person in a dream means abandoning one’s association with
heedless people. If the person who performs such an ablution is mentally
deranged, it means that he will wake-up cured from his condition. Taking a
ritual ablution prior to joining the sacred pilgrimage in a dream means
happiness, success, victory over one’s enemy, paying one’s debts, or reuniting
with one’s beloveds. Taking a ritual ablution before circumambulating the
sacred House in Mecca in a dream means working for one’s livelihood, serving
rich people, or caring for one’s wife and parents. If a sick person sees himself
taking a ritual ablution then putting on a new garment in a dream, it means that
he will soon recover from his illness. Taking a ritual ablution in a dream also
could mean the release of a prisoner, payment of one's debts, dispelling one’s
distress, or it could mean richness, prosperity, attending the sacred pilgrimage
in Mecca, or having a successful business. If one does not put a new garment
after taking his ritual ablution in the dream, it means that he will be able to
lighten his burdens, or recover his good health. Walking into a pond, or
descending a well, or stepping into a bathtub to take a bath in a dream means
marriage. Washing oneself with soap during such an ablution means dispensing
of one’s debts, or dispelling one’s stress. Washing one’s garment after taking a
Ghusul in a dream means correcting one’s conduct, pursuing the correct
religious life, paying one’s debts, or washing away one’s filth. If one sees a
deceased person washing himself before his burial in a dream, it means relief
for one’s dependents and increase of their wealth after him. Giving a ritual
ablution to a deceased person in a dream also means that someone will repent
for his sins at the hand of the undertaker. If a deceased person asks someone
to wash his clothes for him in a dream, it means that he needs someone to pray
for him, or to intercede on his behalf before his Lord, or to pay charity for the
benefit of his soul, or to pay his debts, or to fulfill his will, or to do him justice.
If one does fulfills the deceased person’s wish and washes his clothes for him in
the dream, it means the redemption of such a person. (Also see Ablution)

Muzdalifa
(arb. Mishar Al-Haram; Rituals of the Pilgrimage) Seeing oneself at
Muzdalifa in a dream means receiving a commendation because of one’s
endeavor to fulfill his prescribed duties, or it could mean payment of debts, or
fulfillment of a promise. To see the sacred station at Muzdalifa (arb. Mishar Al-
Hflram) in a dream means observing God’s commandments and fulfilling the
divine injunctions. If one finds himself standing before the sacred station of
Muzdalifa, seeking refuge in its sanctuary in a dream, it means that he will
receive guidance and dispel his fears. (Also see Arafat; Circumambulation; Cradle

Water level
(Artificial lake; Farm pond; Ombrometer; Ombrograh; Pluviometer;
Rain gauge; Reservoir) The water level of an artificial lake or a reservoir in a
dream represents God’s mercy, blessings, rain, celebrations, festivals, a wed¬
ding, the pilgrimage season, a good harvest, or the governor’s mansion. Seeing
the city’s reservoir full to capacity means glad tidings and prosperity. If one
finds the water level low, and if the waterside is covered with crusts, mildew,
decay and produces a fetid odor in the dream, it means drought and adversities.
The city’s reservoir in a dream also represents its governor. Whatever condition
it portrays in the dream, be it good or bad, will be exhibited in his work. In a
dream, all gauges that are used in measuring the water level have the same
interpretation. (Also see Water)

Stairway
(Conveyor; Steps; Travels) In a dream, stairways represent the vehicle
of rising in station, advancement in worldly gains, seeking the blessings of the
hereafter, and the rising of one’s station in the hereafter. A stairway in a dream
also could represent the days of one’s life and their term. If one sees a staircase
which he recognizes in the dream, it could represent the servant of a house, its
owner, or its accountant. If a sick person sees himself climbing an unknown
staircase which is leading him to the upper room from where he can see paradise
in the dream, it means that he may die from his illness and reach what he saw.
If obstacles hinder his way or impede his climb in the dream, it means that he
is detained, and the immediate blessings of such a gift will be veiled to him.
Descending a staircase in a dream means arriving from a journey, resigning
from one’s job, impeachment, or it could represent a pedestrian. If one’s descent
leads him to his family, house, or farmland in the dream, it means money. If
what he reaches at the end of the staircase is unknown, and if one meets people,
or souls he does not recognize in the dream, it also denotes what we have earlier
explained. If during one’s climb or descent he falls into a well, or if a giant bird
grabs him and flies away with him, or if a beast devours him, or if he steps into
a boat that sails away as he steps into it, or if he takes a step to find himself
riding an animal, or a vehicle of some type, the staircase then represents the
stages of one’s life and what he encountered during the journey of his life,
all replayed or screened before his eyes at the point of descending into his grave,
or as a book one reads after his death. If he does wake up and finds himself
healthy and fit, it means that he will become a tyrant, an unjust person, an
atheist and a reprobate. If one sees himself descending a staircase that leads
him into a mosque, lush foliage, green fields, a fresh breeze of spring, or into a
pond to take a ritual ablution to perform his prayers in the dream, it means that
he will become a true believer, repent for his his sins and abandon his
blameworthy conduct. Otherwise, if he descends upon adverse elements such as
snakes, lions, steep hills, corpses, or a field of scattered remains in a dream, then
it represents major trials and adversities. If the steps are made of clay in one’s
dream, they indicate positive signs. However, a stairway could be regarded as
unfavorable if its steps are made of backed bricks. If they are made of stones in
the dream, they mean business success, along with a heart like a stone. If the
staircase is made of wooden steps in the dream, it means reaching a high rank
which is compounded with hypocrisy. If they are made of gold in the dream, then
they mean achieving success and gaining authority. If they are made of silver
in the dream, they represent one’s entourage and attendants. Climbing a
staircase in a dream also means sharpening one’s intellect and awareness. In
a dream, a stairway is also interpreted to mean leading a life of ascetic
detachment and devotion. Coming near a staircase in a dream also means
attaining success and a growing piety. Each step represents a different station.
Climbing a staircase in a dream also represents the dangers one may have to
cross. Seeing a staircase with five steps in a dream represents the five time
prayers, or the pulpit where the Imam stands to deliver his Friday sermon. That
is why some interpreters qualify the staircase in one’s dream as glad tidings,
good news, prayers, charity, alms giving, fasting, or a pilgrimage. God knows
best.

(Dove; Ringdove; Turtledove) Seeing a pigeon in a dream means glad
tidings. It is also said that God Almighty will accept the prayers of one who sees
pigeons in his dream. In a dream, a pigeon also represents a trustworthy

daughters or female neighbors. A domesticated pigeon in a dream represents a
beautiful woman from Arabia. Pigeon’s nest in a dream represents women’s
parties. Pigeon chicks in a dream represent the boys in a family. Pigeon’s
rumbling or roar in a dream means reproof or censure for a fault. A white pigeon
in a dream means spirituality, a green pigeon represents piety, while a black
pigeon denotes a mastery. A frightened pigeon in a dream means divorce or
death. A landing pigeon in a dream represents the long awaited arrival of a
beloved. Eating pigeon’s meat in a dream means to steal money from one’s own
workers, to defraud them, or to cheat one’s servants. Hunting pigeons in a dream
means earning good money from wealthy people. As for an unwed person, seeing
a pigeon inside his house in a dream means marriage. If a pigeon attacks
someone then flies away with him in a dream, it means that happiness and joy
will enter his life. However, doves in a dream may represent death. If one sees
himself throwing something at a pigeon in a dream, it means that he slanders
a woman, or writes secret correspondence with her. Reaching at a pigeon’s nest
to take its eggs in a dream means taking advantage of a woman, or swindling
her money. Hunting pigeons in a dream means adultery. Seeing a pigeon
standing over one’s head, or tied to his neck or shoulders in a dream connotes
one’s relationship with his Lord. If in that sense the pigeon is an ugly one, it
means that one’s actions are of the same nature. Otherwise, it means the
opposite. Plucking some feathers from a pigeon in a dream means money.
Slaughtering a pigeon in a dream means marriage. (Also see Ringdove;
Turtledove)

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

Pilgrimage
(Hajj) Performing the pilgrimage to Mecca, fulfilling its obligatory
pillars and celebrating its ceremonies in a dream represents one’s spiritual and
religious growth. It will bring him a great reward in this life and in the next,
appease his fears, and imply that he is a trustworthy person. If this dream
occurs during the pilgrimage season, it means profits for a merchant, recovery
for the sick, finding guidance after heedlessness, or it could mean that one will
perform his pilgrimage if he had not yet fulfilled this obligatory religious duty.
If one’s dream takes place outside the pilgrimage season, then it could mean the
opposite. If one sees himself as a pilgrim in a dream, and if he disdains from
actually perform his pilgrimage, though he possesses the means to do so, it
means that he is a reprobate and an ungrateful person. Performing one’s
pilgrimage in a dream also indicates the necessity to serve one’s parents and to
be true to them, or the duty to serve one’s teacher and be truthful with him.
Performing one’s pilgrimage in a dream also means visiting a gnostic, a saint,
a shaikh, a scholar, or it it could mean getting married, acquiring knowledge,
satisfying one’s needs, recuperating from an illness, repenting from sin, or
joining the company of pious people. If one travels to perform his pilgrimage
using a vehicle in a dream, it means that he will receive help from God Almighty.
If he travels on foot leading a camel in the dream, it means that he will do so
with the help of a woman. If he rides an elephant in the dream, it means that
he will perform his pilgrimage as a member of a governmental delegation. If one
travels on foot in the dream, it means that he has made a vow which he must
fulfil. Seeing oneself returning from a pilgrimage in a dream means profits and
relief from stress. If one carries his provisions with him in the dream, it means
that he stands before his Lord with piety and reverence. Carrying the pilgrims’s
provisions in a dream also means paying poor people their dues, or it could mean
paying one’s debts. If one sees himself going to perform his pilgrimage alone, and
the people standing up to pay their farewell to him in a dream, it means that
he will die shortly. (Also see Arafat; Circumambulation; Cradle of Ismail;

Death
In a dream, death signifies religious failure, corruption and rising in status
in the world. This interpretation applies if one is carried on a bier or on a litter
and his funeral is accompanied with crying and lamentation except if he is
buried in the dream. If one witnesses his own burial in the dream, then it means
that his case is hopeless and that he will be seized by the world. One's followers
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
in his dream but does not have the look of dead people and there is no crying
over his death or a funeral in the dream, it means that one of his properties will
be torn down, or that a room in his house will collapse, or that a wall will cave
in, or it could mean that a pillar will breakdown. Such a dream also may signify
weakness in one's religious standing or blindness of his heart. Despite that, he
will live a long life. If one dies in a dream and finds himself looking like a dead
person, and if his body is washed and wrapped in a shroud, it also means
weakness in his religion. All the sorrow and crying one sees in this case,
represents his rising in rank and promotion in the world. Death in a dream also
signifies travels, or it could mean poverty. One's death and burial in his dream
also means that he will die short of repentance. If one comes out of his grave after
his burial in the dream, it means that he will repent for his sins before dying.
Death in a dream also signifies marriage, for a deceased person is washed and
perfumed, and a bridegroom also takes a bath and anoints himself with
perfumes on his wedding day. If one dies and is carried over people's shoulders,
though they do not bury him in the dream, it means that he will conquer his
enemy and should he qualify for leadership, he will attain it. To come back to
life after dying in a dream means that one will become rich and dispense with
poverty, or it could mean that he will repent for his sins. This dream also means
the safe home coming of a traveller. The death of an unknown woman in a dream
means absence of rain or dearth, and if she comes back to life in the dream, it
means rain. In general, the death of a woman in a dream means the death of a
child in wakefulness and vice-versa. If a deceased person tells someone in a

an irreligious and an ungodly person. Carrying a dead person in a different way
than one carries a deceased person to bury him in a dream means acquiring
unlawful money. Carrying a deceased person to bury him in a dream means
working for the governor.If one sees a deceased person sick in a dream, it means

eat people's harvest or food supplies in a dream, it means rising of food prices.
If he sees them drinking from the wells in a dream, it means that a great plague
will befall that town. If one sees a deceased person die, then if he walks in his
funeral in the dream, it means that someone among his children or in the family of that person will shortly die. If no crying or sorrow follows his death, then it
means that someone in his progeny will get married. What a deceased person
says about himself in a dream is true, for he has reached the abode of truth and
he can exercise no falsehood in that abode. If a deceased person tells something
in a dream, and if it does not take place, then it means that one is experiencing
confused dreams. If one sees a deceased person well dressed in a white or a green
garment, smiling and happy in a dream, it means that he is in that state one
witnessed in his dream. Otherwise, if one sees him disheveled, dirty, frowning
or crying in a dream, this also denotes his condition in the hereafter. If one sees
a deceased person sick in a dream, it means that his condition is contingent upon
the satisfaction of his debts and that he is awaiting the Divine justice to take
its course. Performing a funeral prayer for deceased people in a dream means
asking for forgiveness on their behalf or visiting their graves, or it could mean
admonishing someone with a dead heart, or it could mean bidding farewell to
traveling people or taking care of needy people. If one's wife dies and returns
back to life in a dream, it means making profits from a plantation or a farm.
Discovering a body of a deceased in a dream means finding money. Walking
behind a deceased person in a dream means following his footsteps or emulating
his trade or traditions, whether they be material or spiritual. If the Imam of the
country dies in a dream, it means destruction of that city by war. On the other
hand, if one sees a city in ruins in a dream, it means that the Imam has died.

in a dream, it means that he will get married. If a sick person gets married in
a dream, it means that he will shortly die. If a married person dies and gets
buried in a dream, it means that he will divorce his wife or break a business
partnership or separates from his brothers, sisters and friends, or it could mean
that he may emigrate to another country. Otherwise, if he has already migrated
from his homeland, it means that he will return to it. Death in a dream has
positive connotation for someone in fear of something or a sad person or a sick
person. The death of one's brothers in a dream means the death of one's enemies,
or it could mean saving one's capital. Walking amidst dead people in a dream
means befriending some hypocrites. Walking in the company of a deceased
person in a dream means undertaking a long journey, or it could mean profits
from one's travels. Eating the flesh of a dead person in a dream means enjoying

will rejoice. If a deceased person eats something in a dream, it means that such
a commodity will become expensive. If one sees himself laying on a washing
table in a funeral home in a dream, it means that his sins will be washed away

person who saw him in his dream, or it could mean that one needs him to pay a debt he left behind or to ask people to forgive him his sins or to fulfill his will.

something he left. If he looks beautiful, happy and well dressed in the dream,

If one sees a deceased person busy, worried and ill dressed in a dream, it means
that he is engaged in a struggle that can only subside by the will of God
Almighty. If he is sick in the dream, it means that he is answerable to God
Almighty for his religious negligence. If the deceased person's face looks dark
or opaque in the dream, it means that he died as an unbeliever. If one sees a
deceased person sprightly, pleasant and casual in a dream, it means that one's
dream is mere hallucination, or that he is experiencing disturbed dreams, for
dead people do not joke and have their own duties to respond to. If one's deceased
father or mother come back to life in a dream, it means relief from distress and
abolishing of his fears. This is particularly stronger when one's deceased mother
is seen in the dream. Resurrecting a deceased person in a dream means giving
guidance to an unbeliever or admonishing an innovator. This also could mean
admonishing heedless people who will repent for their sins. If one sees a
deceased person die again in a dream, it means that someone by the same name
will shortly die. If a deceased person complains about a migraine headache in
a dream, it means that he is being questioned about his religious negligence or
