(Cover; Happiness; Fears; Veil) In a dream, drapes means veiling one’s
private life. Drapes in a dream also represent a confidant or a trustworthy friend
or a wife who covers the pitfalls of her husband, protects his business and guards
him from looking at other women. If a man of knowledge sees such a dream, then
drapes represent his integrity, his honorable wife and children. Unidentified
drapes in a dream represent worries or distress. If the drapes are hanging over
one’s front door in the dream, it means that such difficulties will come from the
world. Old drapes in a dream represent adversities which will not last. Torn
drapes in a dream mean happiness and joy. If they are torn vertically in the
dream, they represent a quick joy. If they are torn horizontally in the dream,
they mean slander against one’s family. Black drapes in a dream mean worries
because of money, a child, or the authorities. White or green drapes mean good
results. Drapes hanging over the door of a mosque in a dream represent spiritual
problems or religious failure. Seeing drapes out of their place in a dream mean
adversities, and seeing them hanging over one’s windows has no interpretation.
In a dream, seeing drapes hanging over a strange environment means fears
which will culminate in satisfaction. Drapes adorned with gold means hallu¬
cination or dispelling one’s worries. If an unmarried person sees drapes in his
dream, it means that he will get married and protect his chastity, or it could
mean a business that will shelter him from poverty. If a fugitive or a scared
person sees himself covered with drapes in a dream, it means a shelter from
what scares him. Falling through a hole while hanging to a drape in a dream
means taking a long, frustrating, toiling and a distant journey. The bigger the
drapes are in a dream, the more difficult is one’s adversity.

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

and ability to meet one's obligations. Wounds, festering or purulence in one's
neck in a dream mean betraying God's trust. If one sees a nice bird sitting over
his neck in a dream it means benefits or an alibi. If it is not a gentle bird, then
it becomes a bad omen, or a rebuke. If one sees a necklace, a rope, a wire, or a
thread around his neck in a dream, it means fulfilling one's promise, acquiring
knowledge and honor. A long neck in a dream could mean four things, that is:
justice, leadership, attainment of one's goals or calling people to prayers. The
left hand represents one's helper, friend, savings, or a compassionate relative.
Longhands in a dream represent a charitable person, or a capable one, and short

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

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
easy what was earlier difficult. One's breasts in a dream (See Breast) represent
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,
trouble, safety from danger, a husband and a wife, one's parents, or it could
represent two lovers. One's kidneys in a dream also represent a strong,
courageous and a hard working man who serves someone in authority, or he may
become a personal guard, or an assistant to the governor. As for one's lungs in
a dream, they represent joy, happiness, or sorrow. Donating a lung to someone
known or unknown in a dream means receiving happiness in return. Eating a
broiled lung of a domesticated animal in a dream means profits. Otherwise, it
could mean acquiring unlawful money. Seeing one's lung torn in a dream means
nearing one's death. One's spleen in a dream (See Spleen) represents money.
As for seeing one's intestines in a dream, they represent earnings, leadership,
a child, unlawful money, intercession, hatred, livelihood, work or they could
mean changing one's mind about doing something which could cause a disaster.
One's stomach in a dream represents longevity, livelihood or children. A
healthy stomach in a dream means enjoying strength and a long life. The same
interpretation is given to the intestines or the umbilicus or the navel and the
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,
wealth, glory, fame, master, destruction, end, poverty, old age and burdens. If
one sees himself carrying a heavy load in a dream, it means that he is carrying
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
human bones represent his livelihood, religion, glory or money. Collecting
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
nerves in a dream represent one's clan, modesty and progeny. As for seeing the

Tippler) Wine in a dream represents unlawful earnings, illegal tender, or easy
money. Drinking wine in a dream means committing a major sin, or it could
mean becoming wealthy. It also could imply verbal abuse, temptation, or
enmity. A river of wine in a dream means adversities. Wine in a dream also
represents marriage consent, or dismissal from one’s job. Mixing wine with
water in a dream means mixing legal and illegal money, or it could represent
earnings from a business partnership with a woman. Pressing grapes to make
wine in a dream means serving someone in authority whose employment allows
one to achieve noticeable successes in life. If one is invited to a drinking party
where he finds platters of fruit and pitchers of wine in the dream, it represents
his martyrdom. If a sick person sees himself drinking wine in a dream, it means
that he will receive the right medicine and recover from his illness. Drinking
wine in a dream also means losing one’s senses, or it could denote an evil
happening. Drinking wine in the company of mentally disturbed people along
with sedatives, drugs, music, dancing, farce, or ridiculous actions in a dream
means that one will brake his pledge of allegiance to his guardian or ruler,
deny his covenant to his Lord, or that he may start a war against his ruler. If a scholar
sees himself drinking wine in a dream, it means that his knowledge will grow.
If it is grape wine in the dream, it means that he will eat grapes outside of their
season, or that he may require a drug preparation as a cure for an ailment, or
it could mean earning lawful money, or falling into a shameful act. If he buys
wine or presses it in the dream, it means that he will foster religious distortion,
an act that will cause him to suffer from a curse. Wine in a dream also represents
lies, prattle, divulging secrets, adultery or crimes. Drinking wine in a compe¬
tition or for fun in a dream means loss of one’s money or child. If the person is
a hard-working laborer, it means that he may experience some temporary
comfort, or that he may marry an older woman. Drinking wine in a dream also
means suffering from a state of stupor. Seeing a departed person drinking non¬
intoxicating wine with joy in a dream means that he is dwelling in paradise. This
is only true if he was not in the habit of drinking alcohol in this world. However,
wine in a dream could be a good sign for one who is intending to get married,
because of its water content. (Also see Deer; Grapes; Intoxicants; Juice; Non¬
alcoholic wine; Urn; Vineyard)

Beating
(Blow; Hit; Lash; Whip) To hit someone with a staff in a dream means
bringing back to life something that died away or investigating the cause of a
death or clarifying something. To beat someone with a wooden stick in a dream
means failing to fulfill a promise, or it could mean lying to someone. If someone
in authority hits his employee in a dream, it means that he will give him a raise.
If he hits him on his back in the dream, it means that he will pay his debt. If
he hits him on his backside in the dream, it means that he will give him a
daughter in marriage. If one hits someone head with a stick in a dream, it means that he desires his position or it may denote his jealousy. If one hits someone
between the eyes in a dream, it means that he wants him to get lost. Beating
someone in a dream also means to rebuke, revile or insult him, or it could mean
to admonish him. Beating someone over his scull in a dream means that the
victim in the dream will attain excellence of expression and reach his goals. If
he hits him over the earlobe and if it bleeds in the dream, it means that the
assailant will rape and deflower the daughter of the victim. Like that, interpreting
the subject of beating must be associated with the meaning of the limb affected
in the dream. (See Body 1), Beatings in a dream also connotes supplications. If
one sees himself beating a donkey in a dream, it means that he does not earn
his daily bread unless he regularly prays for it. To beat someone in a dream also
means cursing him. If he hits him over the head in the dream, it means speaking
ill of him and that one cannot retrieve his words or apologize for them. Beating
a family member in a dream means that one's wife is committing adultery.
Beating someone in a dream also means benefiting him, or it could mean
business losses. If one is beaten in a dream, it means profits and benefits, unless
if the one beating him is an angel, or a deceased person, or a member of his
family. Beating someone with a leather belt or with a cane in a dream means
bad consequences in wakefulness. Hitting the floor in a dream means taking a
trip. If one receives one hundred lashes on his back in a dream, it means that
he has committed adultery, or it could mean that he has the intention to do so.
If one receives forty lashes in a dream, it means that he indulges in drinking
alcohol or uses intoxicants. If he is lashed eighty times in a dream, it means that
he slanders married women. If he is whipped by a deceased person in the dream,
it means that he is pursuing wrong ideas and should reverse his course, for a
deceased person dwells in the kingdom of truth and follows only what pleased
God Almighty. However, if one sees himself in a dream beating a deceased
person, this could be interpreted to denote the strength of his faith, certitude,
prayers and charitable nature. It also could mean benefits from a business trip
or pursuing a lost interest. Beating in a dream when it causes no pain, bleeding
or scratches means receiving a new garment, paying debts, or hearing sarcastic
comments. Beating an animal in a dream means either training him, or it could
mean ignorance and being unfair toward such an animal.

Dye
(Color; Expose; Hair; Henna; Hide; Gray hair) Applying henna or a dye to
one’s hair or hands in a dream represents a pharmacist, celebrations, glad
tidings, tenderness, or it could mean compassion. Dyeing one’s hair in a dream
also means veiling or protecting one’s personal life and that of others. To dye
the gray hair of one’s beard in a dream means ostentatiousness and adorning
one’s merchandise or deeds to make them look better than reality. Dyeing one’s
hair in a dream also connotes a display of blessings and favors, or it could mean
dictating one’s conditions to his enemy, if the person is in such position.
However, if not, it means difficulties, aggravation, distress, debts or dropping
off one’s ties with those who love him. Interpreting woman’s dyeing of her hair
in a dream is the same as that of a man. To dye one’s gray hair in a dream means
strength, dignity and valor. Applying henna dye to one’s head and not to one’s
beard in a dream means emulating the traditions of God’s Prophet, upon whom
be peace. To dye both the head and the beard in a dream means concealing one’s
poverty, though one will keep asking people to pay him respect or to recognize
him in their circles. If one’s hair accepts the dye in the dream, it means regaining
one’s status, though with less emphasis on his pride, or it could mean that he
will make contentment his new ornament or trim. If one uses a dye other than
what is commonly used, and if it works in the dream, it means that he will be
saved from an adverse condition through miraculous events. If the new dye does
not work in the dream, it means that his true nature will be exposed and he will
have no solutions to protect himself from defamation or public abuse. If he tries
to dyes his hair with dry henna clay, and if his hair still accepts it in the dream,
it means that he is an ignorant person, though he will ultimately repent for his
sins, amend his actions and improve himself. If a woman sees her hands dyed
with gold in a dream, it means that she will give all her wealth to her husband
and that she will be satisfied to see him happy, though in reality she too will gain
power and status in her family. If a man sees his feet dyed and tattooed in a
dream, it means that he will be struck with family problems. A dyed hand in a
dream means hardship in making ends meet. If one dips his hand into a laying
corpse in a dream, it means that he will witness a conspiracy. If one sees his
hands dyed in a dream, it also means that he has reached the end of the rope
with his money or business. If one sees his dyed hands wrapped or bandaged in
a dream, it means that he will lose a trial or a fight with his rivals, or that he
will fail to meet such a challenge again. Dyeing only the finger with henna in
a dream represents branches of dates or clusters of grapes. In general, dyeing
one’s hands with henna or one’s hair with regular dye as a makeup in a dream
represents joy for the husband and wife as long as they do not exceed the norms.
Dyeing one’s hands and feet in a dream means redecorating one’s house. If a poor
person sees himself dyeing his hands or hair in a dream, it means that he will
cover up the loss of his ablution during prayers or during his reading of the Holy
Quran or during other ritual occasions where he is required to have ablution
before proceeding. It could also mean that he cares little about attending his
prayers. As for women, dyeing means happiness, new clothing, receiving gold,
or a wedding celebration. If the dye exceeds the required surface of the hands
or the feet in the dream, it means being struck with fear and worries caused by
one’s business or friends. If a man sees himself in a dream dyeing his hair or
beard with other than henna, it means that he will suffer from what he fears
most. Dyeing or suppressing one’s feelings for a sick person means recovering
from his ailment. Dyeing one’s hair black in a dream means hiding one’s bad
conditions, spoiling the benefits of one’s deeds, or hiding one’s evil intentions.
This is taken from the practice of Egypt’s Pharaoh who sometimes dyed his hair
black, thus trying to hide his appearance and ignorance.

Fruit
(Dried fruits; Fresh fruits) In a dream, a sweet tasting fruit represents
blessings, knowledge or money. Even a sour tasting fruit means the same when
it suits the taste of the person eating it in his dream. When a sour tasting fruit
does not agree with the person’s taste in the dream, then it means unlawful
earnings or aggravation of his illness. Eating or drinking any by-product that
is made of fruit in a dream means debts or facing challenges in a foreign land.
Seeing one’s most preferred fruit in a dream represent profits earned from one’s
own sweat and such profits will equal the amount of efforts exerted to earn them.
A large size fruit in a dream represents earnings that are not yet free from due
alms. A fruit without seeds or hull in a dream represents success and lawful
earnings. Eating fruits out of season in a dream means prosperity and comfort.
A fruit that grows or which is plucked in cluster or as bunch in a dream means
love and unity. Imported fruits in a dream represent their country of origin.
Fruits in a dream also represent one’s wife, children, business agreements,
exchanging knowledge, good deeds, family reunion, weddings, recovering from
sickness or recovering lost money. Grapes in a dream represent wine, and water

Medicine
(Drug; Inkwell) Taking medicine in a dream means correcting oneself,
or it could mean fulfilling one’s religious obligations. If one takes a medicine for
his illness in a dream, it means that he will correct his conduct. If it denotes
knowledge in the dream, it means that he will benefit from what he learns and
accepts the good advice. If one refuses to take his medicine in the dream, it
means that he will deviate from the path of his Lord and shift his interests to
his allotment or luck in this world. Medicine in a dream also denotes an inkwell.
Licking medicine with one’s index finger in a dream means proclaiming the
truth, or it could mean profits from the direction the index finger is pointing at
in the dream. Swallowing medicinal powder means greed, self-absorption,
reclusion and withdrawal. Taking liquid medicine orally means profits. Swal¬
lowing pills in a dream means obliging a sinner to correct himself, to repent,
or to go on the straight path. It also could mean caring to teach an ignorant
person. If a woman applies a medicinal make-up in a dream, it represents her
menstruation. As for an unwed girl, it means marriage, and for a barren
woman, it means a child. Inserting a suppository into the rectum in a dream
means spying or eavesdropping. To take a laxative in a dream means attempting
to correct one’s religious devotion, or it could mean washing one’s body from
impurities. The success of one’s attempt depends on the potency of his medi¬
cine. Seeking good health in a dream means trying to amend one’s life for the
better. The same meaning applies if one sees himself using an ointment for his
eyes. A yellow colored medicine in a dream means illness. A laxative in a dream
means a cure for a sick person and a warning for a healthy person to correct
himself. A bad tasting medicine in a dream means a fever followed by a chill.
Good tasting medicine in a dream is beneficial for rich people, though bad for

Henna
(Dye; A reddish-orange cosmetic dye produced from the stalks and leaves
of henna plant) Henna for a man represents his working tools. It also means
adornment, money, prosperity, or children. If a man sees his hands dyed with
henna in a dream, it means that he keeps praising his Lord. If only the right
hand is dyed with henna but looks ugly in the dream, it means that he may
commit a murder. Dying one’s hands with henna in a dream also means
carelessness about exposing one’s good and bad qualities in public, or it could
mean that he delivers his merchandise or work in any condition without
acknowledging blame, fault, or recognizing his improper behavior with his
customers. If one’s hands are tattooed with henna in a dream, it means that he
cheats to acquire his earnings. Eventually, he will be exposed and his opponents
will rejoice at his misfortune. If a woman sees her entire body dyed with henna
in a dream, it means having a good relationship with her husband. If after
applying the henna to her hands, the dye does not work in a dream, it means
that her husband does not show his love for her. If only the fingers are dyed with
henna in a dream, they then represent branches of dates, or clusters of grapes.
In general, dyeing one’s hands and hair with henna as a makeup in a dream
represents joy for the husband and wife as long as they do not exceed the
common norms. (Also see Dye; Tattoo)

Vineyard
(Espalier; Grapevine; Trellis; Woman) A vineyard in a dream represents
honor and strength, and the same goes for all fruit trees. A vineyard in a dream
is also interpreted to represent a wealthy woman. Cutting branches from a
grapevine in a dream means receiving money from a noble woman. Thus, an
espalier in a dream represents a generous woman. A grapevine in the wintertime
in a dream represents a woman who has lost her wealth, though one still thinks
that she is rich. Plucking a bunch of grapes from an espalier in a dream means
spending one’s money on a woman. If one sees it but does not pluck any grapes
from it in the dream, it means that he will be spared unnecessary expenses. A
grapevine in a dream also represents marriage. A trellis for grapevines in a
dream represents a beautiful, a noble and a rich woman. The same interpretation
is given for the garden surrounding it. To see a close-up view of a vineyard
with its clusters of grapes and leaves in a dream means gaining financial
benefits from associating with a community of believers. (Also see Wine press)

(Grapes; Juice; Vineyard; Vintage; Vintager) Pressing grapes to make
wine in a dream means corruption and evil. (Also see Extracting oils from seeds;
Juice; Vineyard)
Interpreted by Ibn Sirin
Juice
(Grapes; Sugar cane; Wine) Pressing grapes to make wine in a dream means
prosperity and a good harvest. The same interpretation is given for pressing
sugar cane or other fruits. If a poor person sees himself pressing grapes to make
wine in a dream, it means that he will prosper. If one sees everyone pressing
grapes to make wine, or pressing olives for their eating oil in a dream when the
economic conditions are down in one’s homeland, it means economic recovery.
If a scholar or a student on the path, or a prisoner sees that, it means that they
will escape from a potential danger. If a lender sees that, it means that he will
recover his money from people. If a student on the path sees that, it means that
he will succeed in his quest for knowledge. If a bachelor sees that, it means that
he will get married and have many children. Making wine in a dream means
good luck with one’s acquaintances, or earning unlawful and tainted money.

Adultery
(Rape) Committing the abominable and forbidden act of adultery in a
dream means betrayal. If one sees himself doing so in a dream, it means that
he will betray his wife. An unknown woman is better here than a known woman.
Adultery in a dream also means theft. If one sees an adulteress soliciting him
for fornication in a dream it means that he might be lured to earn unlawful
money. If one commits adultery with ayoung and a beautiful woman in a dream,
it means that he will place his earnings in a well-guarded place or a coffer. If
a strong person commits adultery in his dream and if he had to face the divine
ordinance and chastisement for his sin in the dream, it means that his authority
will expand. If the person in the dream qualifies for leadership, then he will be
endowed with one. If one sees himself committing adultery with the wife of a
close friend in a dream it means that he will take some money from him. If one
reads the ruling of the divine ordinance concerning the punishment of adulterers
in a dream, it means that he is an adulterer. If one deals with an adulteress or
with a woman who has committed adultery in a dream, then such a woman
represents the world and its seekers. If a student on the path of God Almighty,
who is known to have piety, good conduct and who has the look of a believer sees
himself dealing with an adulteress or a woman who has committed adultery in
a dream, it means that he will join the company of a gnostic and learn wisdom
at his hand. If one sees a man and a woman sitting alone in an intimate setting
in his dream, and if he recognizes them, it means that he desires some worldly
interests from such a man. If a man sees himself raping a young woman in a
dream, it means that he hides his savings in an unknown place. If he is caught
after that, and if the divine ordinance is exacted in the dream, his dream means
that he will follow the path of knowledge and understanding of religious
jurisprudence. If one commits adultery with an adulteress in a dream, it means
that he will face severe trials. If one enters a brothel in his dream and finds it
impossible to leave that place, it means that he may die shortly. If one sees
himself sleeping with someone else’s wife, while the husband is not minding in
a dream, it means that the husband will entrust him with his home to manage.
If one marries an adulteress in a dream, it means that he is an adulterer. (Also
see Sexual intercourse)

dream or receiving one as a gift means prosperity, an inheritance, marriage,
having children or overcoming one’s adversary. Slaughtering a deer in a dream

A mare in a dream represents a noble woman. If one sees himself riding a
mare in a dream, it means that he may rape a chaste and a noble woman. In
general, a mare in a dream represents people who are known for their honesty
and good conduct. Buying a mare in a dream also means getting married. If one
is already married, then it means that he will own a property or a farm. A mare
in a dream also represents a rich person, a beautiful woman or a handsome
looking man, a religious person, a comforting wife, a forbearing husband, or a
sick person. If one loses his mare, or if it dies in the dream, it means that he
will lose his source of income. Dismounting a mare in a dream may mean loss
of one’s business, a divorce, or loss of one’s house. Hearing the squealing of a
mare in a dream means increase in one’s income, or it could mean one’s
promotion at work. Drinking the milk of a mare in a dream means developing
a beneficial relationship with a politician. (Also see Donkey; Horse)
