plant in a dream means recovering from an illness and enjoying a good health
for that year. Planting a marjoram in a dream means begetting a healthy and

Marketplace: Going to the marketplace in a dream means seeking knowledge, or
looking for work. A marketplace in a dream also represents a mosque, or
winning a war. In fact, the merchants and the customers bargain with one
another, some win and some lose. If a knowledge seeking student sees himself
in a marketplace that he does not recognize, then if he walks away from it in
the dream, it means that he will cease schooling or interrupt his studies and
fail to acquire his degree, or it could mean that he has missed his Friday
congregational prayers. It also could mean that the knowledge he is seeking is
not intended to please God Almighty. If one sees himself shoplifting in a dream,
it means that he steals, or holds contempt and conceit in his heart, or if he is
a man of knowledge, it means that he will foster falsehood or become affected.
If one sees a common marketplace on fire, or filled with people, or with a stream
of fresh water running in the middle of it, or if it is fragrant with perfumes in
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,
clothing, recovering from illness, lies, stress, sorrows or adversities. If the
market is quiet in the dream, then it represents the laziness of its salespeople.

tridge; Woman) In a dream, a mountain quail represents a thief, a confidant,

it becomes a bad omen, or a rebuke. If one sees a necklace, a rope, a wire, or a

means that such a person does little good in his life. If one enters his hand under
his arm's pit in a dream, then brings it out bright and radiant in a dream, it
means that he will acquire knowledge and may develop wisdom. Otherwise, it
could mean profits. If he brings forth his hand from under his arm's pit in the
dream, and if it reveal a flame in his dream, it represents a manifestation of
divine power and a blessed victory. If one pulls his hand from under his arm's
pit and it brings forth water in the dream, it means that he will receive great
benefits and growth in his life, or perhaps that a long awaited traveller will
shortly arrive to his doorsteps. If a right-handed person sees himself being left-
handed in a dream, it means hardships. If one sees himself walking with his
hands in a dream, it represents his dependence on a relative to provide for his
needs. If one's hands say something nice to him in a dream, it means financial comfort. If one's hand is cut-off in a dream as punishment for a sin, it could mean
marriage, a bad wife, or lack of trustworthiness. If one washes his hands with
soap in a dream, it means that he will abandon something he initiated, or that
his intention will not be fulfilled. If a form of life or a good spirit comes out from
one's hands in a dream, it indicates benefits. If such a life is a malignant one,
then it means the opposite. If one takes someone by the hand in a dream, it
means that he will help him and save his life. If something sprouts in one's hands
or if one's hands turn into iron, or a vegetable in a dream, it means negative
repercussions in wakefulness. Hands in a dream are interpreted in twelve ways:

strength, wealth, leadership, money, proof, a craft, or work. The condition in
which the palm of one's hand looks in a dream indicates the state of one's health
and fitness. Clapping one's hands in a dream could either mean joy and
happiness, or it could mean nothing. Wearing a glove in one's hand in a dream
means ceasing the course of wrongdoing. Slapping one's own face with both
hands means sorrow, sadness or calamities. Hitting the back of one's hand into
the palm of the other hand in a dream means separation. In a dream, the fingers
of the right hand represent the daily five time prayers. The thumb represents
the pre-dawn prayer, the index represents the midday prayer, the middle finger
represents the mid-afternoon prayer, the ring finger represents the sunset
prayer, and the little finger represents the evening prayer. As for the fingers of
the left hand in a dream, they are interpreted to represent one's nephews. To
cross or intertwine one's fingers in a dream means difficulties and poverty. One's
toes in a dream represent the beauty of his character and denote his straight-
forwardness. Any defect or crookedness in them in a dream will mirror in
wakefulness. If a toe or a finger is bitten or crushed in a dream, it denotes evil
or perhaps an accident. If one sees milk coming forth from his thumb and blood
coming forth from his index finger in a dream, it means that he will marry a
mother, then will he marry her daughter, or it could mean that he will rape the
mother, then her daughter. Cracking one's fingers in a dream means exchanging

If one's fingers are paralyzed in a dream, it means that he has committed an
awful sin. If one sees his right hand paralyzed in a dream, it means injustice
toward a weak person or inflicting losses upon an innocent person. If one's left
hand is paralyzed in a dream, it means the death of his brother or sister. As for
the fingernails in a dream, they denote beauty, courage, strength, a religious
covenant, or money. If one's fingernails are chipped, extracted, or broken in a
dream, they means loss of money and strength. If they look nicely clipped in a
dream, they mean both spiritual and material benefits. Long nails at the point
of a near breaking in a dream mean distress, sorrow, fears and depression. If
one's nail becomes a claw in a dream, it means rising against one's enemy and
opposition. If one does not have fingernails in a dream, it means bankruptcy.
If one's fingernails turn yellow, green or blue or if they are broken in the dream,
it means death. Clipping them in a dream means dispelling calamities or
distress. If a thorn or a chip of wooden enters under one's fingernails in a dream,

in a dream represents a man. Breasts in a dream mean five things: a little boy,
a little girl, a servant, a friend, or a brother. One's abdomen in a dream means
money, children, relatives or prosperity. If one sees his abdomen being cut open and washed, then stitched back to normal in the dream, it means blessings from
God Almighty, forgiveness for one's sins, and it could mean that one will receive
spiritual guidance. One's abdomen in a dream also denotes his good conduct,
amiable character, blessed enterprises and protection from the evil of the
accursed Satan. If one sees a newborn son or daughter coming out of his
abdomen in a dream, it means that such a child will be born and will grow to
govern that household. As for one's livers in a dream, they represent knowledge, money or children. If a man of knowledge sees his livers flying away from
his body like birds in a dream, it means that he will forget his knowledge, or if
one has children, they may die, or perhaps the government may seize his
property even if he has nothing. If one sees himself eating his own livers in a
dream, it means earning his livelihood. If they are cooked in the dream, then
they represent a lawful income, or they could mean gobbling the property of
one's own children. Ifa liver is removed in a dream, it means the death of a child.
Removing a liver in a dream also could mean injustice. One's kidney in a dream

three of them represent one's relationship with his wife. As for the ribs (See Ribs)
in a dream, they represent women. The loins or the spinal column in a dream
represent one's progeny. One's back in a dream (See Back) represents his strength,

dead person on his back in a dream, it means that he takes care of orphans. As

ness, guidance, clarity and piety. One's buttocks and the rear end in a dream

end or buttocks in the dream, it means giving high praises to an unworthy and
an impious person or commending him. The male and female sexual organs
in a dream represent a good father or one's profession. What comes or goes into
the male organ or woman's vagina in a dream of good or bad will reflect in their
lives. Seeing one's penis in a dream means children, money, pride, state, or
authority. The testicles represent one's livelihood, one's daughters, protection
and maintenance. The meaning of the penis and the testicles may be transposed
in the dream interpretation. One's anus in a dream means a pouch, a store, a
resting place, or a coffer. The knee represents one's capital or one's attendance
to his work and earning his livelihood. As for the legs, they too represent one's
capital, paying attention to one's work and conduct. Man's leg represents a
woman, and a woman's leg represents a man. If one's leg turns into wood or iron in a dream, it means that he will fail to earn his livelihood.
One's feet represent his parents, his livelihood, a journey or his wealth. (See Feet; Foot).
If one foot is broken or cut off in a dream, it means either the death of a parent or loss of half of one's capital. If one's feet turn into iron or copper in a dream, it means
longevity. If they turn into glass in the dream, they denote his short life. The

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)

that he has contracted pimples that open, and if pus starts running from them
in the dream, it means benefits or a booty. In general, open wounds and pimples
in a dream represent money and profits, unless if they appear in high concentration
or cause sufferings in the dream. Thus, pimples could represent money that
keeps coming as long as the pus has not dried in the dream. (Also see Swelling)

Teeth
(Acrimony; Dice; Grasping; Longevity; Migration) Falling teeth in a dream
means longevity, or living past one's contemporaries. Collecting one's lost teeth in a dream means longevity, or it could mean having a large progeny. If one cannot find his teeth in the dream, it means that his family will die before him, or that a member of his clan will emigrate to a new land. If one finds a lost tooth in a dream, it means the return of an immigrant to his homeland. If the upper teeth fall into one's hand in the dream, they represent profits. If they fall in his lap in the dream, they mean a son, and if they fall on the floor in the dream, they
means death. Ifthe lower teeth fall in the dream, they mean pain, sufferings,
sorrows and distress. Falling teeth in a dream also mean paying one's debts. If
a tooth falls in a dream, it means payment of a loan, while the number of fallen teeth represent the number of debts to be satisfied. If one's teeth fall without pain or a cause in the dream, then they represent worthless deeds. If they fall
because of a gum disease or cause pain in the dream, then they mean being
forced to part with something from one's house. If the front teeth fall and cause
pain and bleeding in the dream, they represent one's incompetence or inability
to complete a project. If the front teeth fall without pain or bleeding in the
dream, then they mean losing one's property. Falling teeth in a dream also
denote a long illness that may not necessarily culminate in death. If one collects
his fallen teeth in a dream, it also means that he can no longer conceive children.
If one's teeth fall into his lap in the dream, it means having a large progeny. If
one's wife is pregnant, and if he pulls out a tooth without difficulty or pain in
the dream, it means that his wife will give birth to a son. If his gums bleed, it
means that he will forsake his family, except if he owed someone money, then
it means that he will be asked to pay, or that he will be forced to comply.
Collecting fallen teeth in a dream also means saying something one will regret.
If a religious person loses his teeth in a dream, it means that he should be more
assiduous in his devotion, and votive fasting will surely help him as a start. If
one loses his teeth and finds himself unable to eat properly in the dream, it also
means poverty. Falling teeth in a dream also denote spending one's money to
acquire spiritual knowledge, then recuperating one's investment through a new
and a blessed business. (Also see Body'; Pain; Tooth)

Sexual intercourse
(Adultery; Coitus; Fornication; Hugging; Instinct; Lesbian;
Molesting; Sexual drive; Sleeping together, Sodomy; Tribadism) If a man sees
himself having sexual intercourse with another man in a dream, it means that
both of them have lost their moral dedication, that have become aimless, turned
stingy toward their own dependents and generous toward others. It also means
loss of one’s capital, or divorcing one’s wife. If a poor person sees such a dream,
it means that he will fall sick, or attract an incurable disease. To have sexual
intercourse with a male in a dream also means falling into sin, committing the
unlawful, or engaging in sexual intercourse with a female member of one’s own
family, a blood relation, or a consanguineous person whom one is forbidden to
marry. Molesting a child in a dream means suffering from a great affliction.
Fornication with a young servant in a dream means suffering from continuous
stress and a lasting depression. Sleeping with a beautiful woman one recognizes
in his dream means profits. Sleeping with an ugly looking old woman in a dream
means the opposite. Having sexual intercourse with an unknown woman in a
dream represents the type of interactions and dealings one fosters with people
in general. Accordingly, and depending on the condition of the woman one is
sleeping with in a dream, one’s actions will substantiate. Sleeping with someone’s
wife in a dream means engaging in a profitable business with the husband. If
a sick person sees himself having sexual intercourse with his mother in a dream,
it means his death, for the mother here represent the earth. If a woman sees
herself engaging in tribadism, or a lesbian relationship with another woman she
knows in a dream, it means that she will confide her personal life to her, or
divulge all her secrets, become her intimate friend or a fan, shares opinions with
her and emulate her actions and look in public. If she does not know that woman
in the dream, it means that she will indulge in sin. If a married woman sees
herself engaging in tribadism with another woman in a dream, it means that
she will separate from her husband or become a widow. Engaging in sexual
intercourse with a deceased person, be it a man or a woman in a dream means
one’s own death, unless if one is travelling, then it could mean visiting that
country where the deceased person is buried. Any sexual intercourse in a dream
that culminates in ejecting semen and necessitates a complete ritual ablution
in wakefulness represents disturbed dreams, or engaging in a forbidden sexual
intercourse from the anus, or it could represent wet dreams. Having sexual
intercourse in a dream also signifies paying one’s debts, or it could mean relief
from pressures. Having sexual intercourse with a prostitute in a dream means
love for the world, or it could mean profits. Having sexual intercourse with one’s
wife in a dream means success in one’s trade. Having sexual intercourse with

dream, it means that he will escape from the trials of this world. If a healthy
person who is seeking knowledge does so in a dream, it means that he may meet
with a spiritual teacher to benefit from his knowledge and wisdom, and to escape
from ignorance. If an indebted person does so in his dream, it means that he will
repay his debts, while for a deprived person, he too will find plenitude and
acquire wealth from unexpected sources. If one sees his ship sailing to the shore,
then if it becomes amphibious, driving him on dry land in the dream, it means
that he will waiver in his faith and deviate from the path of truth to follow
innovations, hypocrisy and insolence. If he is not seeking knowledge, it means
that he will divorce his wife, then proceed to live with her in sin. If he is a

it means that he will address someone with harsh words. If one sees himself
sitting with people and unwillingly passes gas or breaks wind in a dream, it
means that his difficulties, sorrows or stress will be dispelled, though with
horridness and repulsiveness. If one breaks wind intentionally in such a
gathering in a dream, then it means committing an evil act and suffering from
its consequences. If one passes gas without noise in his dream, it means that he
will receive a sarcastic commendation that matches the smell of his fart. If one
breaks wind in a dream while sitting with a group of people who are experiencing
difficulties, it means that their difficulties will be dispelled, and their suffering
will ease. If they are merchants, it means that their merchandise will move
faster. If one forces himself to break wind in a dream, it means that he will carry
a burden greater than he can bear. If one breaks wind along with passing gas
in his dream, it means that he will attain success in his life, and he will receive
honor and profits from an important business trip. However, it is possible that
his interests will become diverse, or that he could lose his focus, then he will
return home free from such burdens. To fart from the mouth in a dream means
faltering or a slip of a tongue, an accident, suffering from gum irritation, a stroke

his death. If he is not sick and then during that procession he weeps or prays
for the deceased person in the dream, it means that he will repent of his sins,

funeral in his dream, it means that he will buy a house. Digging a grave in a
dream means getting married, though through tricking the woman to get her

himself digging a grave and upon completing his work, if he discovers that what

such ground represents the abode of the hereafter. If he then enters it in his
dream, it signifies that his life term in this world has come to its conclusion. If

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

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

could represent one’s fear of exposing his problems in public. In general,

secrets she maybe hiding. However, for a learned man, pregnancy in a dream

before marriage, or that she will marry an unsuitable person. If a barren woman
sees her self pregnant in a dream, it means a bad harvest for that year, or it could
mean a robbery in her neighborhood. If an unmarried woman or a young virgin
sees herself pregnant in a dream, it means that she will find a compatible

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
it is a man or a woman in the dream. If a young boy who is under the age of
puberty sees himself pregnant in a dream, it represents his father, and if a young
girl who is under the age of menstruation sees herself pregnant, then it
represents her mother. If a man sees his wife pregnant in a dream, it reflects
his desire for material success. If one sees his pregnant wife delivering a baby
boy in a dream, it means that she will give birth to a girl and the opposite maybe
true, except if it is common for the person in the dream to experience in
wakefulness what he sees in his dream. If one sees himself delivering a baby
from his mouth in a dream, it means his death, or it could mean that he will use
poised and pleasant words in a conversation with someone he is careful not to
offend. If a man gives birth to a baby boy in a dream, it means that he will carry
a heavy burden then escape from it, or it could mean that he will vanquish his
enemy, or it could mean that he may escape from a treacherous woman. If a
pregnant woman sees herself delivering a child in a dream though having not

him. If the rain falls in season in one’s dream, it means roadblock barring
travels, business losses, inability to get medicine for a sick person because of
one’s poverty, or it could mean imprisonment. If one washes himself in the rain,

Neckband
(Collar; Necklace) In a dream, a neckband represents stinginess. A
neckband in a dream also could represent woman’s kindness, gentleness,
softness, protection and respect for her husband. Thus, for a woman, a neckband
in her dream represents her husband. If her neckband is made of silver, and if
it is wide, comfortable and well strapped to her neck in a dream, it denotes her
husband’s generosity, richness and forbearance. If the neckband is thin, then
it implies difficulties. If it is made of iron in the dream, it represents a strong
person. If it is made from wood in the dream, it represents a hypocrite. If a man
wears a neckband over a white or a green collar in a dream, it represents victory
in his life and comfort he will receive from an unexpected source. If he is a
merchant, it means profits, fame, honor and dignity. If he is a common person,
then the neckband means earning respect and fame. If a tight neckband is
strapped around one’s neck in a dream, it represents a stingy person no one can
benefit from. If he is a learned person, it means that no one benefits from his
knowledge. If he commands authority, it means that he disdains from giving
true judgment. To hire a servant who wears a silver neckband in a dream means
establishing a profitable business. A neckband in a dream also means impiety,
or it could be a sign of trustworthiness. If a man sees himself wearing a neckband
that is made of gold, silver, iron, copper or lead in a dream, it means that he has
abandoned his religious trust, forsaken his covenant and has become a profligate.

receiving a high ranking appointment, spiritual advancement, leadership,
presiding over people, delivering a message, performing a duty, paying dues,

sees himself in a dream performing one of the five obligatory prayers on time,
having performed the proper ablution and correctly completed its obeisance of
the proper standing, bowing and prostrating postures, standing with reverence
and piety and facing the Ka‘aba, it means that he will perform a religious duty
or attend the annual pilgrimage in Mecca. It also means that he will extricate
himself from an unjust deed he fell into and repent, or it could mean eschewing
evil. Performing the divinely ordained prayers in dream also means loyalty to
one’s promise, employment for a person who could not find a job, or reconcili¬
ation with a long forsaken friend or relative. If one leads the prayers in his
dream, it means that he will guarantee something to someone, or it could means
that he will borrow money for a term. If one prays behind an Imam in the dream,
it means that he will become a burden to others. The midday prayers known in
Arabic as Zuhur signify a manifestation, a proclamation or exposing what is
hidden. Praying Zuhur in a dream means attaining one’s goal, satisfying every
need, obtaining everything one has asked for from earthly gains in this world,
or it could mean spiritual benefits in the hereafter and particularly if one sees
himself completing his prayers in the dream. Completing one’s prayers means
achieving one’s goal. If one is incarcerated because of a debt and sees himself
completing his Zuhur prayers in a dream, it means that someone will pay his
debt for him and gets him released from prison and he will then prosper. If one
sees himself performing his Zuhur prayers in a clear day and feels happy about
it in his dream, it means that he will engage in some work that will make him
famous and that he will enjoy the fruits of his work as much as he did in that
clear and beautiful day in his dream. If one performs his midday Zuhur prayers
in a cloudy day in a dream, it means that his work will be distressful. As for the
mid-afternoon prayers, known in Arabic as Asr, performing it in a dream means
taking a vow or making a promise. This prayer in a dream also represents one’s
liability. If one sees himself performing the ‘Asr prayers in a dream, it means
that what he is asking for will materialize, though after some hardships and
adversities. If one does not complete his ‘Asr prayers in a dream, it means that
what he is asking for may not take place. If one sees himself performing the
sunset prayers, known in Arabic as Maghrib in a dream, it means that what he

dream, it means that he will complete his work and get what he wants, or it could
mean the end of his life, following which, one u su ally attends to his resting time,
which is similar to death. If one sees himself performing the daybreak prayers
before dawn in a dream, it means that the morning has come and it will be soon
before he hears either good or bad news. On another level, if one sees himself
praying the evening ‘Isha prayers in a dream, it means that he is committed to
attend to his family’s needs as commanded by God Almighty, such as providing
for their food, clothing, shelter and teachings. If one sees himself praying in the
middle of the night (arb. Witter) in a dream, it means that he does attend to his
family’s needs and perhaps they feel comfort in his presence. If one sees himself
performing the dawn Fajr prayers in a dream, it means that he will start with
the inevitable, such as working to provide for his family. If one sees himself
performing the midday Zuhur prayers at the time of the mid-afternoon prayers
in a dream, it means that he will repay his debts. If one’s midday Zuhur prayers
or his mid-afternoon ‘Asr prayers are interrupted in the dream, it means that
he will pay half of what he owes. If one sees himself performing the mid¬
afternoon prayers in a dream, it means that his job will shortly be completed and
only little work is left for him to finish. Praying the sunset Maghrib prayers in
a dream means finishing one’s duties and it is time for him to take a rest. The
night ‘Isha prayers in a dream means veiling things or entering the privacy of
one’s home. On a third level, the midday guhur prayers mean repentance, dis¬
missal or abrogation of laws. The midday Zuhur prayers also could mean
struggling against Satan and one’s enemies, which struggle takes place usually
at the time of one’s midday nap. The mid-afternoon ‘Asr prayers in a dream also
represents victory in one’s life, or it could mean guidance, blessings and
observing God’s laws. The sunset Maghrib prayers in a dream means losing a
parent, the passing away of one’s guardian, the death of a close friend or the
impeachment of the person the dream indicate. Seeing oneself praying the night
‘Isha prayers in a dream means preparing for a journey, or it could mean
marriage, moving from one place into another, or it could mean suffering from
cataract, weakness of one’s vision, or it could denote the vastness of what is to
come, for ‘Isha prayers are distant from the dawn Fajr prayers. Performing the
dawn Fajr prayers in a dream indicates a vow one pledges. Praying the mid¬
afternoon ‘Asr prayers in a dream means attaining ease after suffering from
hardships. Performing the sunset Maghrib prayers in a dream means having

burning, or if its contents are washed away in a dream, it means his death. If
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
Holy Book in a dream, it means that he will profit from a business deal. If one
sees a king, or a ruler swallowing the Holy Book in a dream, it means that he
may die soon. If a judge swallows the Holy Book in a dream, it means that he
accepts bribes. If a ruler sees himself erasing what is written in the Holy Book

be peace, in a dream means that one will commit himself to memorizing it.
Eating the pages of the Holy Book in a dream means accepting bribes. If a
layman eats the pages of the Holy Book, or few lines from some pages in a dream,
it means that he earns his livelihood from reciting the Holy Quran or teaching
it. Eating the pages of the Holy Book in a dream also means earning one’s

denotes one’s piety, or it could represent a religious scholar who lives by the
book, act by its commands and shares his knowledge with others. Tearing off the
pages of the Holy Book in a dream means ingratitude toward God’s revelations,

he is a sinner, it means that he will repent of his sins and turn to his Lord, or
it could mean that he may receive an inheritance. If one sees himself following
innovations and he recognizes that in his sleep, his dream denotes a warning
from God Almighty. Seeing the Holy Book in a dream also could mean seeing
wonders, witnessing a miracle, hearing news, receiving happy news, or it could

or a person one is commanded to obey, such as a ruler, or a father, a mother, one’s
teacher, or shaikh, or it could mean making a true oath, receiving glad tidings,
admonition or a warning. Seeing the Holy Book or any of the early divine
revelations in a dream means that one may preside over people. If one sees
himself carrying the Holy Book, or even any book of revelations, and if when he
opens it finds the pages blank with no writing inside it in the dream, it means
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
according to his own liking. If one sees a Holy Book sitting in his lap, then if a
chick comes and picks all the words written therein in a dream, it means that
one will beget a child who will memorize and read the Holy Quran as an
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
dream means benefits, prosperity and becoming a renowned and a distinguished
religious scholar. If the Holy Book is snatched away from someone’s hands in
a dream, it means that he will lose his knowledge, or perhaps lose his employment.
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
finds himself trying to eat the pages of the Holy Book in a dream, it means that
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
memorize the Holy Quran from time to time but keeps forgetting what he
learns. (Also see Quran)

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
jealousy of one’s enemy, averting his dislikes, or suppressing evil in general. If
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;

Table
(Dining table) A dining table with its food ready to serve in a dream means
blessings, accepting an invitation to dinner or lunch, financial comfort, status
and winning victory over one’s enemy. In this case, one’s enemy is hunger. The
food placed on the table represents a booty. Clearing the dinner table in a dream
means cessation of comfort and blessings. The dinning table of one’s house in
a dream represents his livelihood and sustenance, an important project that
requires the help of many people, or a great person who is gracious, true and
generous. Sitting on such a table in a dream means joining the company of such
great man. If the dining table is topped with clean food and fresh bread in the
dream, it means love between friends and brethren. To have little food and
some bread on the table in a dream means lack of such love between brethren.
Accepting the invitation to share a loaf of bread with someone in a dream means
love, unity and prescribing to the prophetic traditions. If one sees one or two
dishes on his table in a dream, it means profits for oneself and sustenance for
his dependents. Having good appetite in a dream means longevity. If the dining
table is cleared after one’s meal in the dream, it denotes the conclusion of one’s
life. If a crowd of people sits on a table to partake their meal in a dream, they
represent one’s dependent. If two opponents sit on the same table in a dream,
it means war, and particularly if their is broiled meat and herbs on the table.
The dining table in the dream then represents the battlefield, and eating their
meal means fighting. A dining table in a dream also represents piety. If one
shares his meal in a dream, it means that he will meet new friends and enjoy
their company, then a conflict will rise concerning his livelihood and earnings.

righteous person. If one sees a tree that bears fruit in warm weather bearing
fruit in the winter in a dream, it means that he will associate with someone
expecting to make a business deal, though their friendship will end in wasting
time and money. To pluck a fruit from a tree other than its own in a dream
represents a good brother in-law, an honest partner, or a profitable partnership.
Wild berries in the mountains or prairies in a dream represent innate arts,
abilities and knowledge given directly from God Almighty and no other teacher
has a claim in it. Figs in a dream represent the best of fruits in a dream. Fresh

or it could mean fulfilling one’s religious obligations. If one takes a medicine for
his illness in a dream, it means that he will correct his conduct. If it denotes
knowledge in the dream, it means that he will benefit from what he learns and
accepts the good advice. If one refuses to take his medicine in the dream, it

woman, it means a child. Inserting a suppository into the rectum in a dream
means spying or eavesdropping. To take a laxative in a dream means attempting
to correct one’s religious devotion, or it could mean washing one’s body from
impurities. The success of one’s attempt depends on the potency of his medi¬
cine. Seeking good health in a dream means trying to amend one’s life for the
better. The same meaning applies if one sees himself using an ointment for his
eyes. A yellow colored medicine in a dream means illness. A laxative in a dream
means a cure for a sick person and a warning for a healthy person to correct
himself. A bad tasting medicine in a dream means a fever followed by a chill.

measure of earth one piles-up if the dirt is dry. However, if the ground is wet

he gains nothing from it but headache and exhaustion equal to the amount of
earth he piles-up. The digger’s plot also may backfire. If a sick person or if

a piece of steel to produce fire for cooking or for light, and if he sees the sparks
coming from them in a dream, it means that he will take advantage of his
friendship with someone in authority who is rock hearted to help him overcome
his poverty and to make his life more manageable. The flint stone in a dream
also represents the rock hearted man, and the steel represents his might. On
the other hand, if one strikes a flint stone with a piece of steel and produces

Bird
(Fowl; Man; Woman) An unknown bird in a dream represents the angel of
death. If one sees a bird diving to the ground to pick a pebble, a paper, or a worm,
then if he soars away from a house that hosts a sick person in a dream, it means
that the sick person will shortly die from his illness. If one sees a bird diving
toward him in a dream, it means a journey. If one sees him standing over his
head, or over his shoulders, or sitting in his lap in a dream, it denotes one’s work
or profession. If the bird is white in the dream, it means that one’s work is clean,
If his color is tanned in the dream, it means that one’s work is tainted. If a male
bird sits in the lap of a pregnant woman in a dream, it means that she will beget
a boy. If a female bird sits in her lap in a dream, it means that she will beget
a girl. Large or predatory birds in a dream represent kings, presidents, leaders,

Apricot
(Fruit) In season, seeing an apricot in a dream means money. Seeing
apricot out of season in a dream means illness. A fruitbearing apricot tree in a
dream represents a rich man. However, it is said that an apricot tree in a dream
also represents someone who suffers from a serious illness, and is of little or no
use to others. On the other hand, it is said that an apricot tree in a dream
represents someone with a cheerful face, who is courageous in defends himself,
but who is stingy with his own family. When the apricot is still green and
unripened in the dream, it represents little money. When it ripens and becomes

(Geomancy) Seeing a fortuneteller who practices divination by in¬
terpreting random figures that are formed when a handful of earth is thrown

Interpreted by Ibn Sirin
King
(God Almighty; Governor; Mayor; President; Royalty; Sultan) The true King
is God Almighty. If the king is pleased with someone in a dream, it means that
God Almighty is pleased with him, and if the king is angry with him in the
dream, it means that God Almighty is displeased with him. If one sees the king
frowning in a dream, it means that he fails to properly perform his prayers or
show true religious devotion. If one sees him smiling in a dream, it means profits
in one’s material as well as spiritual life. If one sees that God Almighty has
appointed him as a king over a land, it means that he will receive such a regency,
should he qualify. Later on, unrest will bring tyrants, or dictators to justice,
while people of knowledge and piety will survive and regain their authority. If
one sees himself as a calif or as an Imam in a dream and should he qualify, it
means that he will receive such an honor, rank, trust and fame in the land,
though his vice-regency will not become hereditary. However, it is a bad omen
if he becomes a calif in the dream and does not qualify for such an appointment.
In such a case, and by contrast, he will be humiliated and dispersed, and his own
helpers will become his superiors, while his enemies will rejoice at his misfortune.
If one sees himself as a king in a dream, though in reality he does not qualify,
it means that he may die quickly, and the same is true if a sick person sees
himself turned into a king. If he is healthy, it means that someone in his family
may die shortly. Seeing a king in a dream also denotes exposing hidden secrets.
If a philosopher or a fortuneteller sees himself transformed into a king in a
dream, then it denotes glad tidings should he not complain about it in his dream.
If a slave sees himself becoming a king in a dream, it means that he will be set
free. If one sees himself becoming one of the great kings of this world in a dream,
it means that he will attain worldly success in his life, though it will be
accompanied with religious failure. If the person is a natural con artist, it means
that he will be captured and imprisoned. If a man sees himself awarded a
knighthood that is suitable only for woman, then it means his death. If one sees
the kingreprimandinghim in a dream, it means peace between them. If one sees
himself arguing a case with knowledge and wisdom before a king in a dream,
it means that he will win his case and receive what he came for. If one sees
himself complaisant with the king about his case in the dream, it means that
he will lose his case and the judgment will go the king’s way. If one sees himself
walking with a king and rubbing shoulders with him in the dream, it means that
he will oppose the king or disobey him. If he sees himself following the king in
a dream, it means that he will pursue the king’s traditions during his lifetime
or after his death. If one enters the king’s palace prostrating in a dream, it means
that he will be appointed in a leadership position and receive the king’s pardon.
If one sees himself mixing with the king’s harem, or sleeping with them and
should there be signs of comfort, trueness, or wisdom in his act in the dream,
it means that he will enter the king’s inner circles. Otherwise, should he in the
dream fear the consequences of what is happening, or if he lacks trueness, or
if he slanders them, or indulges in what is unlawful for him to do, then should
he reach the king’s door, it means that he will triumph against his enemies
inside that palace, and they can cause no harm to him. If in his dream, the king
gives him a gift, it means that he will win victory and honor in his life to equal
the value of that gift. If the king gives him a brocaded silk garment in the dream,
it means that he will give him a wife from the royal family. If the king speaks
to someone in a dream, it means honor, fame, wealth after poverty, release from
jail, expansion of one’s business, or victory over one’s enemy. If an appointed
governor sees himself looking into a mirror in a dream, it means that he will be
dismissed from his post. If an appointed king sees someone who looks like him
sitting in his throne in a dream, it means that he will beget a son. If he divorces
his wife in a dream, it means that he will abdicate his throne. To see oneself
sleeping with the king in the same bed and without a curtain between them, and
if the king leaves the bed while one remains resting therein in the dream, it
means that his mixing with the king will incur jealousy, or that he will inherit
him. If one leaves the bed before the king, it means that he will escape from a
great danger. If one sees himself sleeping alone in the king’s bed in a dream, it
means that he will marry a woman from the governing family, or that he may
spend from his own money for the sake of a woman in that palace. If the bed is
in the palace though unknown in the dream, it means that he will become a
member of that government. If a king hears his subjects praising him in a dream,
it means that he will show good qualities. If his subjects shower him with money
in a dream, it means that they speak ill of him or cast blame at him. If they
shower him with sugar in the dream, it means they speak nicely of him, and if
they shower him with stones in the dream, it means that they will speak harshly
of him. If one sees the people paying obeisance and bowing to him in a dream,
it means that they will stand humbly before him. If they prostrate themselves
before him in a dream, it means that they truly praise him. If a king sees himself
following the opinion of a woman in a dream, it means that he will lose his
kingdom or fall victim to depression, or that he will be thrown into jail. If he
opposes her in the dream, it means that he will escape from a great danger. If
a king sees himself walking in a dream when a common subject comes near him
and whispers something in his ear, the commoner here represents the angel of
death ‘Izrail, and it means that the king may die a sudden death. Eating from
the hand of one’s servant in a dream represents the growing of one’s authority,
increase of his business, knowledge, or wisdom. If a king sees himself preparing
a banquet for guests in a dream, it means that his opponents will come to argue
their case, though he will win over them. If he sees himself placing food on the
table in a dream, it means that a messenger will come to see him concerning a
dispute. If the food is sweet, then the problem will end nicely. If the food is
greasy, then the problem will be a lasting one. Sour food then means steadfastness.
Eating on the table of a just and a righteous king in a dream means blessings
and honor. If the king is seen walking alone in the markets in a dream, it means
that he is a humble, just, and a strong ruler. A sick king in a dream represents
weakness in his faith and injustice toward his subjects. If the king is carried over
people’s shoulders in a dream, it means lack of faith and lack of attendance to
one’s religious obligations, or weakness in his ruling. If the king dies and does
not get buried in a dream, it means that the king and his subjects are deviates.
If he is buried and the people walk away from his grave in the dream, it means
that one will pursue something of no benefit, unless God Almighty decrees
otherwise. If one sees the king’s head transformed into a ram’s head in a dream,
it means that the king is a just and a kind ruler. If his head is transformed into
a dog’s head in the dream, then it represents his vile nature. If his chest turns
into a stone in the dream, it means that his heart will become like a rock. If one
sees his own hand turn into the king’s hand in a dream, it means that he will
receive a leadingjob. If one sees the king flying with wings in a dream, it means
that his authority will spread. If his fingers increase in shape or number in the
dream, it means that his greed and injustice will manifest. Any dream about a
deceased king will manifest in his successors or in his progeny.

Moses
(God’s prophet Moses, upon whom be peace.) If one sees God’s prophet
Moses, upon whom be peace, in a dream, it means that God Almighty will
destroy a tyrant at his hands. Following that, the person seeing the dream will
rise in station, continue to attain one victory after another, and he will never
be humiliated or defeated. Seeing Moses (uwbp) in a dream also denotes the
strength of righteous people, and the inevitable defeat of iniquitous people. If
at the time of seeing a dream with God’s prophet Moses (uwbp) there exist a
tyrant or an ungodly leader, it means that God Almighty will destroy him, and
one will be saved from his evil. If someone in authority becomes Moses (uwbp)
in a dream, or if he wears one of his cloaks, it means that he will vanquish his
enemy and fulfill what his heart desires. If one sees him (uwbp) in a prison or
persecuted, or if one fears a major event that could put and end to his life, or
an accident that could kill him, or a dangerous sea trip that could drown him,
it means that God willing, he will escape and survive such adversity. Seeing
Moses (uwbp) in a dream also means the end of tyranny, or victory in a war. If
one is oppressed, worried and distressed by his own family, and if he sees Moses
(uwbp) in a similar situation in a dream, it means that God Almighty will guide
him to a way to overcome them, or if a traveller sees such a dream, it means that
he will return safely to his home. Seeing Moses (uwbp) in a dream also indicates
trials duringone’s childhood, separation from one’s family, witnessinguncommon
miracles, or that one may suffer from his own family because of an admonition,
or it could represent a will he will leave to them, or it could mean commanding
good and eschewing evil. Seeing Moses (uwbp) in a dream also means love for
travel, praiseworthy intercession, sea travels, a safe return, profits, suffering
from slander and false accusations, or perhaps it could mean that one may have
weakness in his speech, or tottering, or that he may suffer from a head ill or
injury. If someone who has renounced worldly pleasures, an ascetic, or a pious
person sees Moses (uwbp) in a dream, it means increase in his wisdom, light in
his heart and elevation of his station. If a woman sees Moses (uwbp) in a dream,
she must fear loss of her child, or her dream could represent an adversity that
should have a happy ending. If a child sees Moses (uwbp) in a dream, the same
interpretation applies. If one sees himself carrying the staff of Moses (uwbp) in
a dream, it means that he will reach a high rank and win victory over his enemy.
If he is suffering from an evil spell or a sorcery, it means that it will be nullified.

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

Arabic months
(Lunar months: 1- Muharram; 2- 3- Rabi-'uIAwal; 4- Rabi'u
Thani'; 5-Jamadul Awwal; 6- Jamadu Thani'; 7- Rajab; 8- Sha'ban; 9- Ramadan;
10- Shawwal; 11- Zul-Qi'dah; 12- Zul-Hiliah) Seeing a dream during the month of Muharram means that the dream is most true as it is seen. Thus, having a
dream during the month of Muharram could be even called a vision and it never
fails. Such a dream means success, relief from difficulties, release from a prison,
or recovering from an illness. If the person had retreated from his town, he will
return to it. This interpretation is based on the story of God's prophet Jonah,
upon whom be peace, after he emerged from the belly of the whale. Perhaps the
person in the dream may face a great spiritual challenge in his life, or it could
mean the death of a great man of knowledge or the emergence of such a gnostic
or wise man in that city. If the person seeing the dream is a sinner, it means that
he will repent of his sins, for God Almighty has accepted the repentance ofAdam,
upon whom be peace, during that month. If the person in the dream is one who
hopes for a station of honor, he will attain it, because God Almighty has raised
the prophet Enoch (Idrls) upon whom be peace, to a high station during that
month. If a traveller sees a dream during that month, it means that he will safely
return home from a long journey, because it is the month in which the prophet
Noah upon whom be peace, was saved with his people, and it is the month in
which the arc settle on top of Mount Judiyyi. If the seer desires a son, then he
will beget a righteous son, because it is the month in which God's prophets
Abraham and Jesus, upon both of them be peace, were born. If the person seeing
the dream is suffering from tight financial circumstances and if he desired a way
out, it means that he will see the light or escape from the danger of his enemy,
because this is the month in which God's prophet Abraham was saved from the
fire ofNimrod, or perhaps, ifhe had followed a path of innovation and falsehood,
he will turn back to God Almighty and repent of his sin, because it is also the
month in which God Almighty forgave the prophet David, upon whom be peace.
If the person in the dream is impeached from his leadership position or stripped
from his status, he will return to his office and regain honor, because it is also
the month in which God Almighty returned the prophet Solomon to his kingdom.
If one is bedridden, it means that he will recover from his illness, because it is
the month in which the prophet Job (uwbp) recovered from his illness, or
perhaps it could mean that one will be sent as an emissary with a mission, or
as an ambassador, because it is during this month that God Almighty spoke to
His prophet Moses upon whom be peace. As for the second lunar month, known
in Arabic as Safar, having a dream during it could be interpreted as follows: If
one is pessimistic about what he saw, then it could mean the opposite. If he is
sick, it means recovering from his illness. If one is needy, it means that his needs
will be satisfied. If one is suffering from stress and worries, it means that they
can cause him no harm. If one sees his dream during the third lunar month,
known in Arabic as Rabt-rul Awwal, and if he is a merchant, it means that his
business will grow, prosper and that his money will be blessed or perhaps he may
conceive a child during that month. If he is under stress and worries, they will
be dispelled. Ifhe is persecuted or treated unjustly, he will end in a triumph,
or it could mean that he will hear good news, or he may be appointed as a
governor, or he may admonish people to do good and discard evil, for it is the
month in which God's Prophet Muhammad, upon whom be peace, was born to
this world. If one's dream takes place during the fourth lunar month, known in
Arabic as Rabi'u Thiini, and if it suggests glad tidings, then one may have to
wait and exercise patience, but ifit suggests evil, then such happening will come
fast. During this month, seeing a dream also means victory over one's enemy,
or it could mean conceiving a blessed son who will grow to become a gnostic, or
a hero, for it is during this month that the Imam 'Ali, may God bless his
countenance and be forever pleased with him was born. As for the fifth lunar
month, known in Arabic as Jamiidul Awwal, seeing a dream during this month
means that one should slow down or scrutinize his buying and selling, or it could
mean that he may lose his daughter or wife, for it is in this month that the daughter of God's Messenger, upon whom be peace, Fatima died. May God. be
forever pleased with her. If the dream happens during the sixth lunar month,
known in Arabic as Jamadu Thaw, and if the dream carries a good meaning,
it will come, but slow and one should not contradict it. If one sees this dream
during the seventh lunar month, known in Arabic as Rajab, it means that he
will gain honor and status, for it is the month of the prophet's Ascension (Mi'raj)
and his night journey to the seventh heaven. A dream during the eighth lunar
month, known in Arabic as Sha'ban, represents honor and ranks, for during
this month, every good deed will be honored. As for the ninth lunar month,
known in Arabic as Ramadan, in it, all difficulties will be suspended, evil will
be shun and stinginess will be dispelled. During this month all what is good will
manifest and bad dream will dissipate to become null and void. During this
month, the dreams of a believer may be differently interpreted than the dream
of a disbeliever. If one sees the month of Ramadan in his dream, his dream
means blessings, profits, commanding good and forbidding evil. If the person is
seeking knowledge, then knowledge will be given to him, for it is during this
great month that the Holy Qur'an was revealed. If the person is inflicted with
epilepsy, he will recover from it, for the devils and all evil spirits are shackled
and are rendered powerless during this month. As for the tenth lunar month,
known in Arabic as Shawwal, if one's dream suggests a war or a conflict, it
means that he will come first in it, and that he will triumph. If one sees the
month of Shawwal in his dream, it means that he will come out of difficulties
and finds happiness and devotion, for it is the month during which that God's
House, known as the Ka'aba was built. As for the eleventh lunar month, known
in Arabic as Zul-Qi'dah, if one's dream suggests a trip, then the person should
refrain from taking that trip or perhaps he should delay it for the better. He also
should guard himself where he lives. If the dream denote stress or worries, then
he should avoid whatever may cause them. However, if one's dream takes place
during the twelfth lunar month, known inArabic as Zul-Hijjah indicates a journey
then one may take it, or if it denotes a good business, one should seek it, for it
is a most blessed month and it is the month of festivities and sacrifices. If one
sees this month in his dream or sees himself offering sacrifices in it, or if he sees
himself praying the festival of Sacrifice prayers in it, his dream means paying
one's debts or fulfilling one's vows, repentance from sin, guidance or perhaps his
dream may indicate the death of great people of knowledge, the impeachment
of governors, the changing of governments, or it could mean a sudden war.

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.

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

from an illness. Seeing the crescent when it is rising in a dream is better than
seeing it when it is declining. If the new crescent suddenly disappears in one’s
dream, it means that one’s project, object or intention will not be fulfilled. (Also

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

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)

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

will live a long life. If one dies in a dream and finds himself looking like a dead

represents his rising in rank and promotion in the world. Death in a dream also

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.

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

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
