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,
or takes a ritual ablution to perform his prayers, or washes his face with it, or
washes away filth in a dream, it means repentance from sin, receiving spiritual
guidance, or abolishing religious innovations and polytheism from one’s heart.

the shoulders of his enemy, it means that he will commit a wrongdoing or a

Longhands in a dream represent a charitable person, or a capable one, and short

helpers, borrowing money, governing, fulfilling one's commands, profits from
one's business or having business sense. If one's hand is cut off in a dream, it
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
sees his hand cut off in a dream, it means abstaining from wrongdoing or
eschewing evil. If one's left hand is cut off in a dream, it means reestablishing
his relationship with his family and rediscovering the benefits of good qualities.
If one's hand is broken in a dream, it means an adversity, illness, loss of

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:
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
bad words between relatives or being sarcastic or making fun of other people.
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,
it means loss of power or money. If one sees himself in a dream knocking his
fingernails against his teeth in a dream, it means committing a despicable and
a loathsome act. As for seeing one's chest in a dream, if one sees himself having
a broad and a nice looking chest (See Chest), it means repentance of a sinner,
or being eager and willing to follow the truth and to comply with it, or to make

his daughter. Man's breast in a dream means a woman, and woman's breasts
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
means having a good business connection, dispelling adversities, distress,

a child, unlawful money, intercession, hatred, livelihood, work or they could

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,

his sins. If he carries merchandise in the dream, it means debt. If he carries
woods in the dream, it means backbiting others. If one sees himself carrying a
dead person on his back in a dream, it means that he takes care of orphans. As
for one's heart (See Heart) in a dream, it means intelligence, vigilance, aware-
ness, guidance, clarity and piety. One's buttocks and the rear end in a dream
represent his earnings, job and profits. If one sees himself licking someone's rear
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

bones in a dream means saving money. The bone marrow in a dream repre-
sents hidden money, good awareness, patience and gratitude. The veins and

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

moving from an old place into a new one. If one takes a broad leap with one jump
in his dream it means travels. Hopping on one leg because of an illness or an
impairment in a dream means loss of half of one’s money or property and finding

dream, it means a war. A small snake in a dream represents a little child.
Hunting snakes in a dream means tricking or deceiving one’s enemies. A black
snake in a dream represents a strong enemy. A white snake in a dream

adversary, or benefiting at the hands of one’s enemy. If the snake talks harshly
to him in a dream, it means suffering from tyranny and oppression caused by
one’s enemy. Becoming a snake in a dream means being contemptible against

of his trade, or it could signify power and a strong financial standing. Reins in
a dream also represent a coachman, or the driver who never disobeys his master,
and who goes wherever he is told to go. Riding on a workhorse who is fitted with
a harness, or on a bridled nag in a dream means occupying an important office
and letting everyone who works for the leader make an oath of allegiance before
hiring them for work. If the bridle and the martingale are unadorned in the
dream, then such a dream represents a humble person, and connotes that his
heart is better than what his outer look may suggest. Reins in a dream also
connote safety or a safety belt. Wearing a harness in a dream means safety, and
that one does not interfere with others’ business or talk about them. However,
should one who has to appear in court see himself wearing a harness in a dream,
it means that his proof will not be accepted by the judge, and subsequently he
will lose his case. If the reins of one’s horse are broken in a dream, it could mean
the death of his driver. Reins in a dream also denote chastity, guardianship and
protection. They also represent the obligatory payment of alms tax which

hand in the dream, it means corruption in one’s religious life, a decline in his
devotion, or that one’s wife will become unlawful to him (i.e., living together
after a divorce), or that she will remain in his house without a legal marriage.
To see oneself bridled in a dream also means refraining from sin, or observing
a voluntary religious fast. A broken bridle in a dream is good for one who service
it and bad for its owner. (Also see Bridle)

Stream
(Brook; Creek; Irrigation; Rivulet; Watering) In a dream, a stream
represents the course of one’s livelihood, his source of income, his shop, his
trade, travels and the like interests. A stream in a dream also could mean
festering wounds, waterskin, watering irrigation, the resting area on the
highway, one’s throat which is the watering access of his body, or it could
represent life if it is public property. If it is a private property, then it represents
the life of the person who digs out such a stream. A stream in a dream also
represents a good life, or the comfort of its owner. If its water flows over its banks
in the dream, then it represents sorrows, crying, or sadness. If one sees a stream
flowing through people’s homes in a dream, then such a stream represents a
happy life and particularly when its water is colorless and sweet tasting. If one
sees himself as the owner of a stream, a spring, or a watercourse which he
establishes as a charity in a dream, it means that he will become a leader, a
president, or happily serve his community. If one cleans a rivulet then finds it
filthy again, or finds it filled with trash in his dream, it represents diarrhea. If
he sees water flowing under his feet in a dream, then it means dropsy. If one sees
a stream of water running through a town where people are filling their jars,
drinking its water and thanking God for His blessings in a dream, it means that
a calamity is removed and is replaced with peace, safety and tranquility. If the
people are inflicted with adversities or a drought, then it means prosperity and
rains, food, or money and their merchandise will not stagnate. If the water in
the stream is murky, or salty, or running outside its canal, then it represents
a coming calamity that will cause mass sufferings, or a sickness such as cold in
the winter and fever in the summer, or it could mean that they will hear bad
news about some travellers, or it could represent a richness which is acquired
from an unlawful source, or it could mean that he will receive tainted money.
If one sees a watercourse flowing only in the direction of his house, then such
adversities will be his lot. If one sees a stream flowing in the direction of his
house, or garden in a dream, it means a marriage or conceiving a child. A stream
of flowing blood rather than water in a dream represents the deviation of one’s wife.
If one sees a stream running off its course, or damaging people’s crops in
a dream, it means bad news. Blocking the path of a stream in a dream means
separation between a husband and a wife, or avoiding a sinful action between
unmarried relatives. If one sees himself standing behind a rivulet in a dream,
it means that his wife will inherit him. If one sees the water of a stream flowing
toward his own home or garden, and if he finds that its water has turned into
blood in the dream, it means that someone will marry his wife after him.

Cemetery
(Burial ground; Grave; Graveyard) Seeing a cemetery or a graveyard
in a dream means appeasement and comfort for a terrified person, and dismay
to a comfortable and a relaxed person. A graveyard represents the elements of
fear, hope and return to guidance after heedlessness. A cemetery represents the
hereafter, because it is its vehicle. A cemetery in a dream also represents the
prison of the body, but in a dream, it also means seclusion, devotion, abstinence,
asceticism or admonition. A cemetery also can be interpreted as the dead looking
drunkard in a bar, a man laying flat in a prostitution house, the home of a
heedless person who often sleeps rather than pray or a hypocrite whose deeds
are not subject to receiving a heavenly reward, etcetera. If a sick person walks
into a funeral procession in a dream, it means that his illness will culminate in
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,
join spiritual study circles and serves the people of knowledge. Such a person
also may attain a blessed spiritual station and benefit from what he hears and
sees. If one sees himself walking in a funeral procession and neglecting respect
and contemplation, and instead laughs and jokes, it means that he will befriend
evildoers and accept their evil conduct as a standard norm of behavior. If one
sees himself visiting a graveyard for seclusion, self-awakening and self-re¬
straint, then if he reflects about words of truth, wisdom and repentance in his
dream, it means that he will be asked to judge between two people, and that he
will rule with justice. If one does not contemplate thus in the dream, it means
that he will forget about something important or dear to his heart. If one enters
the graveyard calling to prayers in a dream, it means that he will admonish
people, commands what is good and forbids what is evil. If one sees himself
entering a graveyard and walking over the scattered bones of the dead people
in a dream, it means that he will die and be buried there. A cemetery in a dream
also represents admonition, reading the Quran, crying, reminiscence, piety,
surrender to one’s destiny and discarding worldly gains. A cemetery in a dream
also may represent the scholars, ascetics, governors, leaders, camps or a brothel.
The graves of saints or shrines in a dream signify innovation, heedlessness,
intoxication, adultery, corruption and fear. A stone tomb or a sarcophagus in a
dream signifies profits, war prisoners, a booty or exposing one’s personal
secrets. (Also see Burial; Grave; Shrine)

Grave
(Burial; Tomb; Sepulcher) A grave in a dream represents a prison and a
prison in a dream represents a grave. If one sees himself living in a grave in a
dream, it means that he will be incarcerated in a prison. Building a grave in a
dream means building a house. If one enters a grave but does not witness a
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
consent. Standing over a grave in a dream means committing a sin. If one sees
himself digging a grave and upon completing his work, if he discovers that what
he has dug is standing on the surface of the earth and has no walls in the dream,
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
he does not enter it in the dream, then there are no consequences to his dream.
Seeing a known grave in a dream is a proof of what is true and a sign of what
will unfailingly come. An unknown grave in a dream represents a hypocrite.
Building a tomb on the roof of one’s house means longevity. Visiting the
graveyard in a dream means visiting people in prison. Raining over the graves
in a dream means blessings from God Almighty upon the people of the graves.
Graves in a dream also represent distant travels, bewilderment, a wife, or they
could mean a prison. Filling a grave with dirt in a dream means longevity and
living a healthy life. Seeing oneself buried alive in a dream means a calamity,
tightening of one’s means or imprisonment. Seeing oneself buried alive and
wearing one’s shroud in a dream also could mean marriage. To unearth
someone’s grave in a dream means seeking to pursue his trade. If it is the grave
of a scholar, then it means wanting to acquire his knowledge. If it is the grave
of a rich person in the dream, then it means becoming rich or receiving an
inheritance. If one sees the deceased person alive in his grave in a dream, it
means that such money will constitute unlawful earnings, while in the first
instance, the knowledge or wisdom one is seeking will be true, except if the
person in the grave is dead in the dream. A stone tomb or a sarcophagus in a
dream means profits, a war prisoner, a booty or exposing one’s personal secrets.

cane in a dream also could represent a noble lineage, acquiring an honorable
knowledge, or earning a spiritual advancement. Sugar cane in a dream also

planted in inadequate terrain, then means destruction, ruin, or archaeological
excavations that will lead to exposing the past and exhuming the dead, or it

Skies
(Castle; Child; Firmament; Heavens; House; Mother; Oath; Ocean; Prison;
Teacher; Town; Wife; Wonders) In a dream, the sky represents itself. Whatever
descends from it or comes from that direction in a dream will materialize. If fire
falls from the sky over people’s homes in a dream, it means plagues, illness,
pleurisy, smallpox, or death and destruction. If fire falls over the marketplace
in the dream, it means higher prices. If it falls over the fields and farmlands in
the dream, it means that the crops could either burn, freeze, or be struck by a
swarm of locusts or by other harmful insects. If what falls from the sky indicates
prosperity, such as honey, oil, figs, barley, or money, etcetera, in the dream, it
means a good rain and a good harvest for that year. Whatever falls from the sky
of good or bad may represent the government and the hardships it inflicts upon
the people, or the benefits it may bring them. Climbing to the sky with a rope,
a ladder, or using a staircase in a dream means exaltation, rising in station, good
luck and support. If one climbs without a common medium in a dream, it means
fear and arrogance. If his intention in climbing is to spy on others in the dream,
it means that he may work as a spy. If one descends safely from the sky in the
dream, it means that he will escape and be spared the consequences of his sin.
If he falls and breaks or fractures a bone or so in the dream, it means that he
may suffer such accident in wakefulness. If a sick person sees himself climbing
to the sky, and if he does not return to earth in the dream, it means that he may
die from his illness. If he comes back in the dream, it means that his illness will
increase and his difficulties will reach their peak, though God willing, he will
recover from his illness, unless he falls into a hole in a dream. In that case the
hole represents his grave. If one sees the sky shooting arrows causing people
wounds, injuries and bleeding in a dream, it means taxes and confiscation of
properties by the government. If the arrows hit people’s ears and eyes only in
the dream, it means that major trials and temptations will strike at everyone.
If the arrows fall without causing harm to anyone, and if people rush to collect
them in the dream, they represent a booty that people will come to win, or a
divine gifts people will enjoy. To rise close to the sky in a dream means nearness
to one’s Lord. This is particularly true for pious people and for true believers.
Nearing the sky in a dream also represents a supplication needing an immediate
answer, and God willing such prayers will be answered. Nearing the sky in a
dream also could mean going before the governor of one’s town, or any person
from whom one may need something, i.e., a teacher, a man of knowledge, a
father, or a wife. If one sees the sky falling over his head in a dream, it means
that the roof of his house may cave in, or that he will die from an illness he
already suffers. If one sees himself climbing and entering the sky in a dream,
it means that he will die as a martyr. If one sees himself standing in the sky in
a dream, it means that he will command or admonish others. If one sees himself
in the sky looking down at something on earth in a dream, it means that he will
rise in station, then he will regret something he missed. If one sees the sky green
in a dream, it means prosperity and a good harvest. If one sees the sky turned
into iron in a dream, it means drought or scarcity of rain. If one falls from the
sky in a dream, it means that he may abandon his faith, become a reprobate,
or that he may be struck with a major calamity that will be driven by an unjust
person. If the iron sky splits open, and if an old man appears from behind it in
the dream, such an old person represents the grandfather of the people of that
town or tribe. Consequently, people will enjoy a good harvest, prosperity and
happiness. If it is a young man that appears in the dream, then he represents
an enemy and an evil that may befall the people following such dream. If a sheep
appears from the sky in a dream, then it means profits. If camels appear, then
they represent rain. If a lion appears in the dream, it represents an unjust ruler.
If the sky becomes one solid piece in the dream, it means drought. If it rips apart
and its doors become wide open in the dream, then it means rain or an answer
to people’s prayers. If one sees himself reaching out and touching the sky in a
dream, it means that he is seeking an important goal, and that he will fail to
attain it. If one sees himself rising near the lower heavens in a dream, it means
worldly gains, or profits and status in either material or spiritual realms. If one
looks toward the sky, whether to the East or to the West in a dream, it means
travels. If one sees himself stealing the sky and hiding it in ajar in a dream, it
means that he may steal a copy of the holy Quran and hides it with his wife.
If one sees the sky wide open in a dream, it means blessings and benefits. If one
sees himself rising toward the sky in a fiat posture in a dream, it means that
he will become emaciated, or suffer losses in his business. On the other hand,
if one sees himself rising without difficulty and without being laid on his back
in a dream, it means exaltation, success and safety from any harm that could
be driven by one’s enemies. If one bites the sky in a dream, it means that a
calamity will strike at him, or it could mean business losses, failure to attain
one’s goals, or an argument with one’s superior at work. If one sees himself
touring the sky then returning to earth in a dream, it means that he may become
an astronomer, or an astrologer and gain fame in his field. If one sees himself
leaning his back to the sky in a dream, it means that he may win a leadership
position, or win victory over his opponents. If one sees himself in the sky having
a form different than that of human beings in a dream, it means that he may
leave this world unblessed. If one sees himself hanging down with a rope from
the sky in a dream, it means that he will govern after someone else’s, or inherit
his post. However, if the rope breaks in the dream, it means that he may lose
such an opportunity. If one sees a lighted candle in the sky which luster and
brightness dims the light of the sun in a dream, it represents a solar eclipse. If
one sees the sky being build in his presence in a dream, it means that he lies
in his testimonies. Falling from the sky in a dream also could be a warning
against falling into sin. Falling from the sky in a dream with one’s head down
means longevity. If one sees himself in the sky but could not remember when
did he enter it in a dream, it means that God willing he is already in paradise.
If one sees radiance, or scintillating rays of light coming through the sky in a
dream, it means guidance. If he sees dark clouds coming through the sky in a
dream, it means that he could stray from God’s path. If he sees a scourge
descending from the sky in a dream, it means that plagues and adversities will
befall the people as a chastisement for their sins, or for crimes they have
committed. As for gnostics and people of knowledge, seeing the sky in a dream
means clarity, vision, placing one’s interests in heavenly matters, or travelling
to distant lands, or engaging in importing and exporting goods. Climbing into
the sky in a dream also means falsehood, false beliefs, lies, or talking about God
Almighty without the proper knowledge or guidance. Climbing into the sky in
a dream also could mean seeking one’s livelihood, satisfying one’s needs, or
fulfilling a promise. Skies in a dream also represent the ocean because of their
vastness and the countless number of creation living therein, or they could
represent the ripening of fruits, or the conclusion of one’s work, or they could
represent one’s helmet, armor, wife, money, religion, death, or they could
indicate slander and falsehood against someone who descends from them after
being raised, and they could mean making peace with one’s enemies, or they
could represent the shares allotted for each one of God’s creation, the good and
the bad, people’s sustenance and that of beasts, gains, losses, blessings or
afflictions. (Also see Ascending in the skies; Celestial spheres; Heavens; Star)
Skin inflammation: (Thinning; Shedding one’s skin) If one sees his skin thinned

Son; Travels; Wife) Owning horses in a dream means prosperity, or victory over
one’s enemy. Riding a horse in a dream means dignity, honor and wealth.
Perhaps it could mean that one will befriend a noble person, or meet a good
companion on the road. Owning a mare in a dream means begetting a beautiful
son. If it is a nag or a workhorse in the dream, it means that he will live satisfied,
or that he may marry a rich and a noble woman who will bear his children.

horse in the dream, it means knowledge, devotion, piety and fear of wrongdoing.
A nag in a dream represents a wife or a husband. A saddled horse in a dream
means a woman in her menstrual period, during which time it is not permissible
for the husband to engage in marital intercourse with her. A gathering of horses
in a dream represents a gathering of women for a funeral or a wedding. Owning
a herd of horses, or taking care of their feed in a dream means presiding over
people, or it could mean managing a business. If a horse dies in one’s presence
in a dream, it means loss of his house or business. The fit of a horse in the dream
represent man’s own state. Descending from a horse in a dream means committing
a sin that will force one to resign from his position, or be dismissed from his work.
A hairy horse in a dream represents a large family. If the tail of one’s horse is
cut off at its end in a dream, it means that one may come to see the death of his
children and clan before his own eyes. If the tail of one’s horse is simply clipped
in the dream, it connotes his own death and that his name will be quickly
forgotten. If one is attacked by a horse in a dream, it means that a noble person,
or a young boy will stand to him and require a just retribution from him. A flying
horse with two wings in a dream means that one may be tried with affections
toward a perverted boy or a woman who will tempt him then follow him. If a
descendent of the family of God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, sees himself
flying on a winged horse in a dream, it means that he will rise in station and
preside over people. If one sees horsemen coming through the skies in a dream,
it means that a war may take place in that land. Riding a horse and holding a

in a war. If one kills a horse in his dream, it means that he will be awarded
status, rank and money. Slaughtering a horse for other than food in a dream
means spoiling one’s livelihood. If one sees a horse whose owner is not known
entering a town in a dream, it means that a noble person will enter that town
and people of his trade will fear his competition or his becoming a danger to their
business. If such a horse reverts his course and leaves that town in the dream,
it means that a great, though unknown person from that locality will die shortly.
Horses running across the streets in a dream represent a destructive rain or
devastating floods. A feeble horse in a dream represents the weakness of his

Ascending in the skies
(Climbing; Rising) To see oneself ascending in the skies
in a dream means falling in rank, or it could mean oppressing oneself. If one sees
himself ascending in the skies until he reaches the stars, merges with them and
if he becomes a star in the dream, it means that he will receive titles and powers.
If one sees himself ascending a mountain it means depression, stress and
travels. However, rising in a dream means elevation of status, and descending
means a backslide. If one sees himself walking up a steep road in a dream, it
means rising in status, but involving toiling and hardships. If one sees himself
climbing a mountain, then the mountain in a dream is interpreted as one’s goal.
Thus, one’s dream may mean attaining one’s goal as far as he reaches in his
climb. In dream interpretation, any ascent of a mountain, a trail, a hill, an
elevation or even climbing a roof means attaining one’s goal or satisfying one’s
needs. To see oneself climbing flat on his back in a dream then means uncalled
for, orunnecessary hardship. (Also see Air; Ascent; Climbing a mountain; Flying)
Ascent: (Incline; Mountain road; Steep incline) If one sees himself climbing a
steep incline in a dream, it means toiling to succeed in both his material and
spiritual life, or it could mean trying to gather the benefits of both worlds,
though with great strain on him . An ascent in a dream also could signify a
difficult woman or a stern man who can only be handled with kindness,
gentleness and love. An ascent in a dream also represents one’s associate, or a
business partner who cannot be trusted with one’s money or life. An ascent in
a dream also represents the road to salvation or the dangers one may have to
cross and the deeds that can save him from hell-fire. An ascent in a dream also
could represent adversities, difficulties and dangers. Ascending a steep incline
in a dream means danger and descending a steep hill means reaching safety.
An ascent in a dream also could represent a bridge, an underpass, a wife, a
woman, or a scorpion. Walking through a steep incline in a dream also means
rising in station because of one’s knowledge, politics, good conduct, fulfillment
of one’s duties, his caring for others or wisdom. Falling through a steep hill in
a dream means falling in rank, losing one’s prestige, losing one’s money, denying
the truth, objecting to one’s religion or walking into darkness. Climbing in a
dream always means attainment of one’s goals. Climbing flat on one’s back in
a dream has negative connotations. Descending from a steep hill, or from a ship,
or coming down form a castle or a mountain in a dream also mean that one’s goal
will not materialize. (Also see Ascending the skies; Climbing a mountain)

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

represent an army or friends who carry the water and the water represents life
and the original element from which they were created. Clouds in a dream also

then they represent the antagonistic character of a leader who deprives his
people from their rights or causes them to suffer through restrictive laws or
harsh mandates. If one sees a cloud inside his house or descending upon him in
his room in a dream, it means that he will join the company of believers or
receives an award, or that he is endowed with wisdom, or should he wish for a
child, his wife will conceive one. If he is a merchant, it means that his
merchandise will arrive to its port of destination. If one sees himself riding over

will mix with people of knowledge and learn nothing from what they say, or
practice nothing of what they teach. If one sees himself riding over the clouds
in a dream, it means that he may become famous for his wisdom and knowledge.
If one sees his own son turned into a cloud in a dream, it means that he earns
his livelihood from teaching wisdom or religious knowledge to others. Black clouds

represent benefits, profits and prosperity. A mass of black clouds carrying no
rain in a dream mean benefits, extreme cold, sadness or sorrow. Red clouds in
a dream mean distress, adversities or a sickness. A cloud covering a town in a
dream means blessings. If the person who sees such black clouds in his dream
is intending to take a trip, it will take place, though his safety cannot be insured.

dream, it means that his sorrow will be dispelled. White clouds in a dream are
a sign of work, a job or business. Rising fog in a dream means taking a journey,
or returning from one. Red clouds in a dream means lack of work. A gloomy cloud
in a dream means stress. If one sees clouds welcoming him in a dream, it means

thunder in a dream represents an army on the move, or a foreign occupation of
a country. Hearing the sound of thunder in a dream also represents hymns,

what He has reserved for His creation and He is the best of judges.
Thunderbolt: Thunderbolts in a dream are signs of punishment, illness or death.
If a thunderbolt hits and burns something in the dream, it means false rumors,
damages, financial losses, recession, or dumping of merchandise. A thunderbolt
in a dream also means a warning for a sinner, the punishment for his crime,
devastation, calamities, diseases, tornados, plagues, a blast, a major political
shift, tyranny, decapitation, a bad death, inceneration, burining people alive,
or a robbery. If one is under surveillance, then seeing a thunderbolt in a dream
means a crackdown on his house or business. If thunderbolts strike people’s
homes in a dream, they mean the arrival of covetous and despicable criminals
in the company of decent and innocent people who are not aware of the true
identity of their companions. If thunderbolts strike the fields and damage the
crop in a dream, they represent taxes or an investigation. If one sees a town hit
and burnt with a thunderbolt in a dream, it means that an unjust governor will
rise in that town, and his government will bring fear, rising prices, economic
chaos, injustice or war. If a thunderbolt does not carry fire in the dream, then
it represents a new leader. (Also see Earthquake)

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
a room and finds him (uwbp) sitting there in a dream, it means that a miraculous
sign, or a major event will take place in such a locality. If one sees him (uwbp)
making the call to prayers in a dream, it means that prosperity will spread in
that place. If one sees him establishing the prayers ( Iqamah ) in a dream, it
means that the Muslims will reunite and dispel their differences. If one sees him
(uwbp) placing kohl over his eyelids in a dream, it means that he will find safety
and correct his religious stand, or it could mean that one will study and become
a scholar in the field of the prophetic sayings ( Ak&dith ). If a pregnant woman
sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it means that she will beget a son. If one sees him
(uwbp) having a black beard with no gray hair in it in a dream, it will bring
happiness, joy and prosperity to one’s life. If God’s Prophet (uwbp) is seen as an
old man in a dream, it means strength in one’s life and victory over one’s enemy.
Seeing him (uwbp) in his most exalted state in a dream means that the Imam,

vehicle. If one sees God’s Prophet (uwbp) eating alone in a dream, it means that
the one seeing the dream refuses to give charities and disdains to help those who

commanding the person to give charities and to help the needy. If one sees him
(uwbp) bare footed in a dream, it means that one has neglected to do his regular
prayers. To see him (uwbp) and to shake hands with him in a dream means that

that he will follow innovation. To see him (uwbp) delivering a sermon in a dream
means that he is commanding people to do good and to eschew evil. If one sees
the color of his skin (uwbp) tan in a dream, it means that one will think about
repenting from his sins and abstain from young people’s ignorance. If the color
of his skin is white in the dream, it means that one will repent for his sins and
turn to God Almighty for acceptance. If he (uwbp) reprimands someone in a
dream, it means that one must refrain from innovation and follow the prophetic
traditions. If one finds that God’s Prophet (uwbp) has died in a specific location
in a dream, it means that the person seeing the dream will die in that same place
and God knows best. (Also see Visiting holy sites)

Underground granary
(Granary; Pantry; Storrage room; Subterranean storehouse)
An underground grain storage house in a dream represents a caring mother, a
single parent or a foster mother. This interpretation comes from the example
of a fetus in his mother’s womb and its dependence on her to supply the
necessary nourishment. Once the stored food is consumed, then it is necessary
to depend on a new source. If one sees an underground granary demolished or
filled with dirt in the dream, and if his mother is sick, it means that she may
die from her illness. If one’s wife is pregnant, it means that she will soon deliver
her infant. A demolished underground granary in a dream means finding a
buyer for one’s grains, and the dirt that fills the storehouse in the dream
represents money. If the stored grain turns into dirt in a dream,

Roasting a whole sheep in a dream means money. Eating the meat of a roasted
sheep in a dream means money earned through one’s son. Roasting a calf in a
dream means appeasement of one’s fears, or news about one’s wife giving birth

Hail
(Icy rain) In a dream, hail means calamity, sufferings, hunger, loss of
property, poverty, mass persecution, or torture. In nature, this element cools the
earth and eliminates many harmful insects, worms or scorpions and limits the
danger of snakes. Thus, seeing hail in its proper season in a dream means
eliminating the source of one’s stress and overcoming one’s difficulties, enemies,
or jealous competitors. Seeing hail in the summertime in a dream means
business losses, but if it falls in the winter in a dream, it means success and
prosperity. Heavy falling hail in a dream means destruction of businesses,
interruption of communication and damage to roads and highways. In that
sense, hail in a dream means obstruction of public interests. In a dream, hail
also represents a strange type of business that will come from the direction of
the wind carrying such a storm. If no harm occurs in one’s dream, then hail
represents glad tidings and especially if people start collecting it in bowls. If hail
falls over a farmland without damaging it in a dream, it means a good harvest.
If one gathers hail in his garment, or inside a cloth in a dream, it means that
he will lose his riches, or it could mean the loss of an awaited shipment. (Also

they involve strong emotions, sobbing or grief in the dream, then they represent
trying moments in one’s life, or they could mean temptations. Loud or solemn
supplications in a dream may indicate a special prayer for rain. If the suppli¬
cations do not call for God’s favors, or if they are not directed toward Him in the
dream, then they represent falsehood. If the supplications are silent in the
dream, they could mean that one will beget a blessed son. If one sees a group
of people gathering in a circle of prayers, or doing Zikr and invoking the divine
attributes in a dream, then they represent a gathering of children, growth,
blessings, or waiving away sufferings. If one sees himself praying to God
Almighty, or that prayers are invoked on his behalf in a dream, it means
happiness and money. Supplications in God’s house or in a mosque in a dream
are more beneficial than prayers which are offered anywhere else. If one prays
in the dark in a dream, it means that he will be saved from trials. If one sees
himself imploring another person in a dream, it means that he fears him. (Also

(Inebriety) Drunkenness in a dream represents unhappiness,
stress, depression, worries, vanity, arrogance, wantonness and abuse of riches.
Wine in a dream represents the king of drinks. If one gets drunk from wine, then
tears off his shirt in the dream, it means that he has put his life in order and
has it harmoniously organized. It also means that he has abused his privileges
by indulging in vain pleasures of living to such a degree that he could not bear
to live with such comfort or control his passions and wants. If one is seen
drinking wine to inebriety in a dream, it means that he earns unlawful money.
It also means that such earnings will seem to have power over him in the way
of spending them. To become drunk in a dream without drinking alcohol means
feeblemindedness or childishness of an old man. Drunkenness in a dream is a
bad sign for both men and women for it denotes ignorance and complication in
one’s life. However, if a scared person sees himself drunk in a dream, it means
that he will overcome his fears. Pretending to be drunk in a dream means a false
claim. Such a person also may be inflicted with an untrue accusation in
wakefulness as a lesson, so perhaps he may refrain from false claims and he will
come out of such false adversity as though he is drunk without drinking. If a
pious person sees himself drunk in a dream, it could represent his love for God
Almighty. (Also see Intoxicants)

flows toward a river in a dream, it means that he will escape from a dangerous
enemy. Fighting a flood or trying to prevent it from entering one’s house in a
dream means fighting with one’s enemy to protect one’s family and property.
However, if people still benefit from its waters for their wells or farms in the

of its season, it means that he is following some psychic influences or pursuing
religious innovations. It also means wrath, destruction, impeachment, penal¬
ties or a plague, unless if it is falling from the skies, then it means rains and
blessings. If one sees himself coming out of his home to swim into an inundated

one fail to cross, and if he is rather forced to return to his house in the dream,
it means that he should be careful about staying in that town or about disobeying
his boss. Stopping the flood from reaching or entering one’s home in a dream also
means reconciliation with one’s enemy.

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.

or profits from one’s business. Seeing the gathering of several crescents in a
dream means attending the pilgrimage to Mecca. A red crescent in a dream

action that arouses abhorrence and that may die quickly, depending on how long
will that new crescent remain in that position. The new crescent in a dream also

journey or the climbing of a muezzin to the minaret to call for prayers or the
standing of a preacher on the pulpit to give his sermon, payment of one’s debts,
performing one’s obligatory pilgrimage or the end of one’s life. If the new
crescent is opaque, or if it is created from yellow copper, or if it has the shape
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
child, repentance from sin, dispelling adversities, release from prison or recovering
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

in a bowl in the dream, it means that one’s son will survive a major illness, or
it could mean that one’s relative may come to stay with him. However, if the
blood is spilled on the floor, then it may mean the death of either the son or the
relative. If one’s intestines or bowels come out during vomiting in the dream,
it means the death of a child. As for a sick person, vomiting in a dream means
his death. Vomiting a snake in a dream also means death, or distancing oneself
from one’s enemies. Vomiting in a dream also means wasting money on food, or
unnecessary dieting for a poor person. Vomiting in a dream also has positive
connotations for a poor person, but has negative ones for a rich person. If a ruler
or a governor sees himself vomiting in a dream, it means that he will refund
people taxes he unjustly collected from them. If one licks back what he vomits
in the dream, it means that he is indifferent about repaying a debt that he can
easily afford. If one vomits inside a basin in a dream, it means repentance from
his wrongdoing, or it could mean giving a woman a share from unlawful money.
If one suffers during vomiting and finds the taste disgusting in his dream, it
means that he is forced to confess and apologize for his wrongdoing, though he
does not like beingcaught. It could also mean paying damages, health problems,
or it could mean a financial misfortune. Vomiting blood in one’s dre am means
repentance from sin, restraining oneself from indulging in what is forbidden, or
it could mean satisfying one’s debts, or fulfillment of a vow. If one drinks wine,
then vomits the same in his dream, it means that he has received some tainted
or unlawful money that he will remit to its rightful owner and repent for his sin.
If one gets drunk then throws up in his dream, it means that he is a stingy person
who does not take good care of his own family. If one swallows a pearl then
throws up honey in his dream, it means that he will render a correct interpretation
of some Quranic verses. Drinking milk then vomiting it in a dream means
turning away from the truth. Drinking milk and vomiting honey in a dream
means repentance from sin. Drinking blood in a dream then vomiting it as milk
also means repentance from sin. If one’s vomit is yellow and bitter in taste in
the dream, it means repentance after having paid the price of one’s crime. If one
vomits mucus in his dream, it means that he will voluntarily repent from
wrongdoing. Throwing up food in a dream means giving away something to
someone who needs it. Swallowing what one is throwing up before it leaves his
mouth in a dream means to go back on one’s word. Eating what one has just
vomited in a dream means prosperity and fame. Vomiting excessively in a dream
means that one will reach near his death or die from a severe illness.

Close
(Shut) If a single man sees himself shutting a door in a dream, it means
that he will marry a righteous woman. If a married man sees himself shutting
a door in a dream, it means that he may divorce his wife. Locking a door in a
dream also means getting married, though unlocking a padlock has negative
connotations. If one sees his door locked in a dream, it means that he will choose
to pursue his worldly satisfaction instead of fulfilling his religious obligations.
If one tries to lock the door of his house and fails to do so in his dream, it means
that he will abandon a hard decision he took, or refrain from pursuing the
impossible in his case.

Twisting a rope
(Splice; Entwine; Twine) To splice a rope or a thread, or to twist
a rope around oneself, or to whorl it around a spindle, or to make a bobbin in
a dream means undertaking a journey. If it comes out thin in the dream, then
the outcome of one’s journey is meager. If the rope comes out thick and strong
in the dream, it means that the outcome of one’s journey is beneficial. If the
twisting of the rope or the thread is easy in the dream, it means that one’s
endeavor is free from constraint. If one sees himself plucking the hair of his
beard and twisting it like a rope in a dream, it means that he will receive a bribe
to make a false testimony in court. Twisting a rope or a thread in a dream also
could mean signing a contract, establishing a partnership in a business, or
signing a marriage contract. (Also see Beard; Twist)

Omar
(The commander of the believers, Omar bin Al-Khattab. may God be pleased
with him.) Seeing him in a dream means longevity, trustworthiness and praise¬
worthy deeds. One who sees him in a dream will speak the truth, be just and call
people to the straight path. He also may be able to attend to the Sacred House
in Mecca in an auxiliary pilgrimage ( Umrah ). If one shakes hands with Omar bin
Al-Khattab in a dream, it means that he will prosper and live a pious life, and he
will be a vigilant and a strong believer, the value of whose deeds will surpass his
fame. If one sees him frowning in a dream, it means that Omar is calling for
justice, commanding what is good and forbidding what is evil. If there is a drought
in a town and one sees Omar in a dream, it means that rain will fall and be a
blessing for that land. If there is tyranny in that land and one sees Omar in his
dream, it means that justice will prevail. If Omar hits someone with a stick, or
warns him, or threatens him in a dream, it means that one must renounce the
course of his current actions or deviation from God’s path, or perhaps that
someone in authority or a scholar will persecute him. If one sees himself being
Omar in a dream, or if he wears one of his garments in a dream, it means that
he will be awarded honor, a dignified status, or die as a martyr. If one sees Omar
smiling in a dream, it means that he follows the correct precepts of God’s
Messenger, upon whom be peace, and emulates his practices. Seeing him in a
dream also means that justice and truth will prevail in his time, or that he is a
trustworthy person, or that the propagation of truth is prominent in his time.
Seeing him in a dream also could mean signing a peace treaty with one’s enemy,
annihilating hatred with love, good luck with one’s in-laws, renouncing one’s
attachment to worldly things, though being capable of winning it, or presiding
over people with justice, love and compassion.

Wadi
(Valley) Seeing a ravine or a valley with a dry watercourse in a dream means
going on a tiering trip, taking a longjourney, or it could represent an intractable
person. Seeing a wadi in a dream denotes good deeds, or making offerings to
please God Almighty. A wadi in a dream also represents its dwellers, a tribe from
that region, or its plantations. If one sees the wadi blossoming with fruit trees,
fragrant flowers, a running water course, or if one hears nice words during such
a dream, it means that he will rise in station, or mingle with people in power,
or receive an appointment in the government, and for a righteous person, it
means that miraculous events and blessings will be shown at his hands by God’s
leave. Seeing a wadi in a dream also means rain, and that the ravine will be filled
with rainwater. A wadi in a dream also could represent a prison because of the
steep mountains surrounding it and the difficulty in crossing it. Seeing oneself
in a wadi floating in the air until one reaches a desired altitude in a dream means
working for a powerful person. A wadi in a dream also represents a warrior, a
bandit, a highway robber or a lion. If a wadi obstructs one’s journey in a dream,
it may represent a robbery, heavy rain, or having to face a dangerous person.
If one is not travelling, then it means distress, adversity, harm, imprisonment,
fear, or illness. Crossing a wadi in the wintertime in a dream means escaping
from danger. Digging a wadi in a dream means the death of a family member.
Falling into a steep wadi in a dream and feeling no pain or incurring no harm
from it in a dream means that one will receive a gift from someone in authority
or from his superior. Inhabiting a valley with no vegetation in a dream means
performing one’s pilgrimage to Mecca. To wander aimlessly in a wadi in a dream
means writing a poem. (Also see Flying)

(Weariness; Tiredness; Fatigue) If one finds himself
incapable of carrying a conversation out of exhaustion from speaking, or if he
refrains from talking either about good or bad, and if this happens inside a

to his adversary, or it could mean that he will become poor and dependent on
people’s generosity or that he will become childless.

Butcher
A butcher in a dream represents the angel of death. Taking a knife from
a butcher in a dream means falling sick, then recovering from one’s illness to
become strong and healthy again. In a dream, a butcher also represents a man
who causes destruction or evil, and particularly if he is seen holding his cutting
knife, or if he is wearing a white uniform stained with blood. If one sees himself
as a butcher wearing clean cloths, it represents longevity. A good looking
butcher in a dream represents a prosperous culmination of one’s life, or
changing one’s trade. If someone looks at him with despise or in the wrong way
in the dream, it means that something isunlawful in what he sells. If the butcher
is a man in the dream, he then represents the angel of death. Whatever place
he appears in will bear the consequences. A butcher in a dream also represents
an unjust person. In a dream, if one sees a butcher who specializes in selling
animal heads, he represents a guardian of people’s estates, or a treasurer of a
company, he also could represent adversities or death. If the animals’ heads
cannot be identified in the dream, and if they still have their skin, hair, and are
dripping blood in the dream, then it means the disappearance of the people of
knowledge and that knowledge will become selectively disseminated by political
leaders. Cattles’ heads here represent people in danger. Buying an animal’s
head from a butcher in a dream means asking one’s superior for a teacher for
a special training, a coach, a continuing education program, or a better job. If
a butcher slaughters an animal for fun in a dream, it means suspicion about
one’s spiritual standing. Walking in a butchers market in a dream means
adversities, sufferings, a quick death for sick people, loss of wealth for rich
people, or the fear of people who are under oppression, or the scare of a person
in debt concerning his family or property, or the fears of a person awaiting a
court judgment. It is also said that a butcher in a dream represents tyranny and
bloodshed. If a prisoner sees a butcher in his dream, it means that he will soon
be released fromjail. Seeing a butcher in a dream also signifies safety, dispelling
fears, protection, silence, vanquishing one’s enemy, or it could mean meeting
with a persuasive travel agent. (Also see Meat)

Ceiling
A ceiling in a dream represents a well respected person. If it is made of
wood, then it represents a fallacious and a deceptive person. If the ceiling looks
as if it were going to cave over one’s head in a dream, it means being afraid of
someone in authority. If consequently some dirt falls over his shirt from the
ceiling in the dream, it means that he will receive money in compensation for
his pain and sufferings. If the central pillar that holds the ceiling cracks and
falls in the dream, it means the death of the man of that house. If the ceiling
collapses in the dream, it means the death of the man of that house. If one hides
under a roof in a dream, it means that he will enter his house and rob his family’s
belongings. If water is leaking from one’s ceiling in a dream, it means crying in
that house for the sake of a departed soul or crying because of a sick person in
that family. If rain dissolves the ceiling in a dream, it means loss of money and
falling-out from grace. If one sees himself standing on the ceiling of his house
and cannot come down in the dream, it means his imprisonment. In a dream,
the central beam that carries the ceiling represents a hypocrite who supports
the business of an alliance of profiteers. Should the central beam break down
and fall in the dream, it means that such a person will be removed from his office.
If the ceiling falls over someone’s head in a dream, it means that punishment
and sufferings will befall him too. If one sees the stars under the roof of his house
in a dream, it means that his ceiling may actually cave-in. (Also see Cave-in)

Falcon
A falcon in a dream represents a thief, might, victory over one’s enemy,
satisfying one’s purpose, love to have many children, marriage, slaves, mis¬
tresses, precious stones, health, relief, or it could mean love to travel. A falcon
in a dream also means cessation of life, capture, hunting, shackles, imprison¬
ment, ties, etcetera. If it appears well trained, obedient and responsive in the
dream, it means walking in the company of an important person who is
surrounded with an impressive entourage. If one sees a falcon flying and
gathering a flock of falcons in a dream, it means building an army. A falcon in
a dream also represents an intelligent man who claims importance and dignity,
though he is unjust. If one receives or holds a falcon in a dream, it means that
he will bear a son who will become a very important person of his time. If one
happens to be a politician, it means that he will gain greater advancements in
his life. If the falcon flies away in the dream, it means that one will lose his seat
but retain his fame. If one catches few feathers of a falcon in a dream, it means
that some power will remain in his hand and serve his interests. Slaughtering
a falcon in a dream means the death of a king or a ruler. Eating falcon’s meat
in a dream means a financial endowment given by a ruler. If one kills a falcon
inside his house in a dream, it means that he will capture a thief. If a falcon flies
away from under one’s chair in a dream, it means that he will walk in the
company of a person whose earnings are unlawful. (Also see Indian falcon; Sakr)

Sheep
A herd of sheep in a dream represents a good flock, obedient subjects, or
good citizens. Sheep in a dream also signify joy, happiness, festivities, a wife,
children, a farmland, properties, prosperity or wealth, and particularly when
one pays the due alms tax on his money making ventures and liquid assets.
Owning a herd of sheep in a dream represents a growing wealth. Passing by a
herd of sheep in a dream means passing a gathering of men who have no brain.
If a herd of sheep faces someone in a dream, they represent a group of people
who will welcome him with a fight which one will eventually win. Receiving a
herd of sheep as a gift in a dream means a political appointment, knighthood,
knowledge, the seat of justice, or a blessing in one’s life. Shearing off the wool
of a sheep in a dream is a warning that one should remain aloof for three days.
Both the white sheep and the black sheep in a dream mean profit, though the
benefits one draws from a white sheep are greater. Seeing a herd of sheep in a
dream means continuous happiness. Walking by a slaughter house or a tripe
shop and witnessing the heads and trotters of sheep in a dream mean longevity.
To find oneself transformed into a sheep in a dream means a booty or winning
something. Seeing a sheep in one’s dream also represents an obedient son. If
one’s wife is pregnant, and if he is presented with a sheep as a gift in a dream,
it means that she will deliver a boy. Otherwise, the remaining little domesti¬
cated animals represent headache, because of the responsibility involved in
caring for and in upbringing the boys, except for the girls, for they represent
worldly success and profits. If one sees himself slaughtering a sheep in a dream,
it means that one of his boys will shortly die, or perhaps it could be the son of
someone he knows. A sheep trader in a dream represents a good man who is
intuitive and who spends his money on the path of seeking knowledge, or to
propagate the same. If one sees himself having a fat tail like that of a sheep in
a dream, it means that his livelihood will depend on the revenues of his
offspring. In a dream, a sheep also represents a righteous man. (Also see
Counting sheep; Ewe; Ram; Trader)

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

Nurse
A nurse treating one’s wounds in a dream represents healing of one’s
sickness or sufferings. If a nurse visits a healthy person in a dream, it means
that he may be wounded, and in that case he will need such assistance.
Nursery: (Greenhouse; Hotbed) In a dream, a nursery represents profits, annual
return or a fertile woman. Owning or attending a nursery in a dream means
victory, prosperity, marriage, acquiring knowledge, training in arts, or repent¬
ing from sin and harvesting the fruits of one’s repentance. If the fruits of one’s
plants turn into gold or silver in one’s dream, it means either benefits, profits,
or that a disease will impair the growth of one’s plants, or it could mean
unsalability of one’s crop.

Tavern
A tavern in a dream means getting high after feeling low and depressed.
It also means dispelling one’s strains and distress, or it could represents a
prostitute, an abused woman, or adversities because of the damages and
liabilities a tavern may bring. If one promises to do something, then if he sees
a tavern in his dream, the tavern then represents the terms of his agreement,
or that he is engaged in a shabby or a covert action against his boss. If a sick
person sees himself in a tavern in a dream, it means that his time is up. If a pious
person sees himself entering a tavern in a dream, it means that he may be lured
into temptation.

Hell-fire
Entering hell-fire in a dream means committing major sins such as
murder or adultery. If one comes out of it unharmed in the dream, then it
represents worldly adversities. If one sees the fire of hell coming near him in a
dream, it means difficulties, debts, losses, fines and adversities from which one
will not be able to escape. If one sees himself entering hell-fire and holding his
sword unsheathed in a dream, it means that he speaks evil of others and
commits abominable actions against his own soul. The same interpretation
applies if one enters it smiling in his dream. Finding oneself prisoner in hell not
knowing when was he incarcerated in the dream means constraint, poverty,
deprivation, failure to pray, fast or to remember his Lord. Walking across
burning coal in a dream means exceeding one’s bound regarding people’s rights.
Eating food from hell means becoming a tyrant and a blood thirsty person. If one
sees himself inside hell-fire, where his eyes turn dark-blue and his face charcoal
black in the dream, it means that he befriends God’s enemy and consents to their
deception and chicanery. Consequently, he will surely be humiliated and
despised by people, and in the hereafter, he will suffer the consequences of his
sins. Seeing hell in a dream means that one should avoid incurring the wrath
of a ruler. Entering hell in a dream also means notoriety, or becoming known
as an evil person. It also means heedlessness and pursuing one’s indulgence in
abominable actions. Whatever knowledge such a person acquires will bear evil
consequences. Hell in a dream also represents loss of one’s prestige, status and
it means poverty after wealth, despair after comfort, unlawful earnings, inso¬
lence, and if it leads to an illness, it will end in a shocking de ath as a punishment.
If it leads to employment, it will be a job serving a tyrant. If it leads to acquiring
knowledge, it means inventing vain religious practices. If it leads to bearing a
son, he will be the child of adultery. In general hell in a dream means excessive
sexual desires, a slaughter house, a public bath, an oven, inventing a new
religion, innovation, absence of truth, indulgence in what is forbidden, stinginess,
denying the Day of Judgment, a blazing fire forthe devils, joining with agroup
of evildoers in committing atrocities, denying the sovereignty of God Almighty
and ascribing human characteristics to Him. Seeing Malik, the guardian angel
of hell-fire in a dream means receiving guidance after heedlessness. If one sees
Malik coming toward him in the dream, it means his salvation and the
restoration of his faith. However, if one sees Malik turning his back to him or
going away from him in the dream, it means that he will commit an act that will
deliver him to the blazing fire of hell. The angels in charge of punishing the
sinners in hell in a dream represent the authority, soldiers, or tax collectors. If
one enters hell-fire then comes out of it in his dream, it means that, God willing,
his life will culminate in paradise. If he sees his limbs reprimanding him in the
dream, it means that one’s own body is telling him something, or admonishing
and trying to awaken his conscious to the realities of the hereafter and the Day
of Reckoninh. (Also see Bathhouse; Fire; Malik; Mental hospital)

heedlessness, pride, ostentatiousness, backbiting, deceit, lies, confiding into
one’s enemy, loss of blessings, experiencing poverty after being rich and
tightness after plenitude. Seeing a peacock in a dream also means jewelry,
clothing, presidency, a beautiful wife, marriage and good children. Eating the

interests of a noble man, or it could mean inheriting him, or marrying his

noble person. Killing a ram for other than food in a dream means killing a noble

dream, will eventually win it in wakefulness. Seeing a dead ram in a dream

distress and worries, payment of one’s debts, attending the annual pilgrimage
to God’s House in Mecca, or recovering from an illness. Slaughtering and
skinning a ram then hanging it in a dream means stripping one’s enemy from
his money and wealth. Seeing a skinned ram inside one’s house in a dream
means the death of a relative. If it is the leg of a ram, then it means the death
of the closest relative. Broiling a ram in a dream means governing for one year
after which period one may be imprisoned. The number of rams in a dream

cistern of a fellowship house, a khanakah or a mosque in a dream represents its

its back to God’s path and preferred worldly gains instead, or that they have a
knowledge that they do not practice, or it could mean shortage of rain in that
locality that necessitates spending money on God’s path. A cistern in a dream

tation can only apply for those who use a cistern or a similar water container
or a water dispenser and in their case, it also could mean peace and protection
from any fears. (See Urn)

denotes his attachment to worldly gains. If an old woman who passed her
menopause sees herself in a dream experiencing her menstrual period again and
regaining her sexual drive, and if she sees herself engaged in sexual intercourse
in the dream, it means that she will become religious and have strong material
and spiritual success in her life if her sexual intercourse in the dream is marital

Death
In a dream, death signifies religious failure, corruption and rising in status
in the world. This interpretation applies if one is carried on a bier or on a litter
and his funeral is accompanied with crying and lamentation except if he is
buried in the dream. If one witnesses his own burial in the dream, then it means
that his case is hopeless and that he will be seized by the world. One's followers
or assisting entourage will be as many as those who walk in his funeral in the
dream. However, he will conquer people and ride over their shoulders. If one dies
in his dream but does not have the look of dead people and there is no crying
over his death or a funeral in the dream, it means that one of his properties will
be torn down, or that a room in his house will collapse, or that a wall will cave
in, or it could mean that a pillar will breakdown. Such a dream also may signify
weakness in one's religious standing or blindness of his heart. Despite that, he
will live a long life. If one dies in a dream and finds himself looking like a dead
person, and if his body is washed and wrapped in a shroud, it also means
weakness in his religion. All the sorrow and crying one sees in this case,
represents his rising in rank and promotion in the world. Death in a dream also
signifies travels, or it could mean poverty. One's death and burial in his dream
also means that he will die short of repentance. If one comes out of his grave after

perfumed, and a bridegroom also takes a bath and anoints himself with
perfumes on his wedding day. If one dies and is carried over people's shoulders,
though they do not bury him in the dream, it means that he will conquer his
enemy and should he qualify for leadership, he will attain it. To come back to
life after dying in a dream means that one will become rich and dispense with
poverty, or it could mean that he will repent for his sins. This dream also means

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

Almighty. If he is sick in the dream, it means that he is answerable to God
Almighty for his religious negligence. If the deceased person's face looks dark
or opaque in the dream, it means that he died as an unbeliever. If one sees a
deceased person sprightly, pleasant and casual in a dream, it means that one's
dream is mere hallucination, or that he is experiencing disturbed dreams, for
dead people do not joke and have their own duties to respond to. If one's deceased
father or mother come back to life in a dream, it means relief from distress and
abolishing of his fears. This is particularly stronger when one's deceased mother
is seen in the dream. Resurrecting a deceased person in a dream means giving
guidance to an unbeliever or admonishing an innovator. This also could mean
admonishing heedless people who will repent for their sins. If one sees a
