him in a dream, it means that someone will report him to the authorities or
become a witness against him in court. If one sees himself in a dream riding over
the shoulders of his enemy, it means that he will commit a wrongdoing or a
shameful act. If there is no enmity between them, and if he sees himself riding
over the shoulders of a friend in a dream, it means earning something from him.

means the death of his brother, his father, his partner, or a close friend or his
assistant. If the right hand is cut off in a dream, it means a vow one takes to
deprive someone from his rights. It also means loss of one's job or cutting off one's
blood ties, or it could mean that he has committed a theft. If a righteous person

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

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

that is a brother, a sister, a partner, a son, a compassionate friend, one's
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

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

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,

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

courageous and a hard working man who serves someone in authority, or he may
become a personal guard, or an assistant to the governor. As for one's lungs in
a dream, they represent joy, happiness, or sorrow. Donating a lung to someone

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Plaster
Seeing plaster in any form in one’s dream means preserving one’s dignity,
holding to one’s status and position, or it could mean persevering in one’s goals.

one’s words, ability to appreciate and to express one’s gratitude, recovering from
an illness, buying new clothing, or drafting a just agreement. Gypsum in a

or gypsum in his dream, it becomes a proof of an unlawful or sullied substances
mixing with their earnings, or it could mean engaging in religious innovations,
