If one intends to bank something with someone as a trust or to confide
a secret with someone, then if he witnesses a case of castration in a dream, he
should immediately halt that intention, or cancel such arrangement. If one sees
himself castrated in his dream, it means that he declines to testifying to the
truth. If one finds that he became castrated, or if he does so to himself in a dream,

In a dream, a water cistern represents a pouch, a safe, a box, a coffer, a
partner, one’s wife, a son, or knowing people’s personal secrets. If the oil cistern
is filled with water in the dream, it means stagnation of any of the above. If one
sees a water cistern filled with oil in a dream, then it means prosperity. The
cistern of a fellowship house, a khanakah or a mosque in a dream represents its
Imam or its supervising spiritual teacher or the caretaker and guard of the
property. If one sees the water cistern of the house sitting in an unsuitable place
in that house in a dream, it represents the spirit of a jinni who pursues such a
person or who may haunt his house. If one sees a well being used as a cistern
in his house in a dream, it denotes that the dwellers of that house are of the
middle class, or it could mean that the water of that house is salty or non-
potable. If one sees the cistern filled with butter or honey or milk in a dream,
it means that one’s wife is pregnant, or it could mean prosperity for that family.
If the family of such a house is thirsty in the dream, and if the cistern is filled
with other than water, then it means that they owe alms tax and must pay the
necessary charity on their assets, or it could mean that such a family has turned
its back to God’s path and preferred worldly gains instead, or that they have a
knowledge that they do not practice, or it could mean shortage of rain in that
locality that necessitates spending money on God’s path. A cistern in a dream
also could represent a protective shield or a pocket, one’s dignity, blessings or
attaining a respectable rank or dispelling difficulties. However, this interpre¬
tation can only apply for those who use a cistern or a similar water container
or a water dispenser and in their case, it also could mean peace and protection
from any fears. (See Urn)

spiring woman. If a woman sees a well in a dream, it means meeting a man of
good character. If one sees himself looking into a well in a dream, it means that
he is thinking about a particular woman for marriage. A well in a dream is also
interpreted to represent knowledge, marriage, a big man, prison, ties, or
deception. If one digs a well and finds water in it in his dream, it means that
he will marry a wealthy woman whom he will deceive. If the water gushes forth,
rises and runs outside of an old well in the dream, it represents crying and grief
in that place. Digging a well and finding water to channel for one’s garden in
a dream means taking an herbal remedy to cure one’s impotence, or to save his
marriage. Falling into a well of muddy waters in a dream means that one may
become subject to the tyranny of an unjust ruler. If the water he falls into is clear

barmaid in a dream means finding a spiritual teacher, or joining a fellowship
and a school for the seekers. If one sees the well of Zamzam quenching the thirst
of people in a particular neighborhood other than Mecca in a dream, it means
that a gnostic will come to that town, and whose knowledge and wisdom will
greatly benefit its people. It also may denote the bounty and blessings which are
imparted to that town, or it could denote the victory of its people over their real
enemy. Drinking from such a well in a dream means fulfillment of one’s
intentions and satisfaction of his needs. In a dream, a well also means a prison
or depression. If one is in such a state, it means that his adversities will
dissipate, and that he will reestablish himself in the circles of people in
authority. If the person in the dream is a seer who predicts events, then he may
be involved in the circles of governors, particularly to interpret their dreams.
It is possible that he also might receive emissaries of notable people who will
bring him what pleases him. It also could mean a fight in one’s family involving
jealousy, envy, betrayal, though at the end one will triumph over them. Falling
into a well in a dream also means being indicted in an alleged crime from which
one is clearly innocent. A well in a dream is also interpreted as levying taxes,
or it could mean circumcision. Digging a well in a dream also represents a crafty

news that will arrive shortly. If she looks frowning or unhappy in the dream, then
she represents distress and loss of prestige. If she looks ugly in the dream, she
represents facing adverse conditions. If she is naked in the dream, she represents
a scandal. If an old woman enters a house in a dream, it means prosperity and
business success and if she leaves a house in the dream, it means the opposite.
An unknown old woman in a dream has a stronger connotation than a known old
woman. If one sees himself frequenting an old woman in a dream, his dream
denotes his attachment to worldly gains. If an old woman who passed her
menopause sees herself in a dream experiencing her menstrual period again and
regaining her sexual drive, and if she sees herself engaged in sexual intercourse
in the dream, it means that she will become religious and have strong material
and spiritual success in her life if her sexual intercourse in the dream is marital
intercourse and of a lawful nature. Otherwise, if it is unlawful, then it represents
her attachment to worldly gains and neglects for her spiritual values. If a young
woman sees herself being an old woman in a dream, it means that she will prosper
and have a successful marital life.
