Resurrection
(Day of Reckoning; Day of Resurrection; Last Day; Reckoning;
Rising of the dead; Trumpet of Resurrection) Seeing the Day of Resurrection,
or Doomsday in a dream is a serious warning for a sinner, or it could represent
a warning for someone who is contemplating a sinful act. Seeing the Day of
Resurrection in a dream also denotes justice. Beingthe only person resurrected
on such a day means one’s death. Standing up awaiting one’s judgement on the
Day of Resurrection in a dream means travels. If one sees himself and his wife
being the only people who are brought for judgement of the grand Day of
Gathering in a dream, it means that he is being unjust. If a warrior sees the Day
of Resurrection in a dream, it means that by God’s decree, the aggressor shall
be defeated. The land of the grand gathering in a dream represents a chaste
woman or a noble man. The blowing of the Trumpet of Resurrection in a dream
represents the salvation of the righteous ones. Seeing any of the great ex¬
traordinary events or signs that shall precede the Day of resurrection in a dream
means glad tidings for a believer who does good, and a warning for a disbeliever
to correct himself and repent for his sins before its coming. Seeing the Day of
Resurrection in a dream also denotes that some of the major signs are actually
taking place, such as blood shedding, spread of evil, belligerence of atheism,
pride about wealth, ruling of the working class, building high rises, the end of
the era of kings on earth, or it could remind the person of the prophesied signs,
such as the rising of the sun from the West, the emergence of a beast that will
speak with a human tongue, the rising of the Imposter (arb. Dajjal. Antichrist),
etcetera. Seeing the Day of Resurrection in a dream also represents the spread
of evil, the presence of an extended police force, and the ruling of large armies
and dictatorships around the world. Thus, seeing the Day of Resurrection in a
dream is a reminder and a warning to the one who sees it. If one sees the graves
splitting open, dead people resurrected back to life and are walking out of them
accompanied with their angels in a dream, it means that justice will prevail in
that land. If one experiences the resurrection in a dream, then discovers that
the world went back to continue its prior course , it means that justice will
dominate that land for a while, then it will be followed by a tyranny that will
be carried by people who are not even suspected to be of such character. Such
a dream also could be interpreted to suit a person who is seeking the impossible,
or one who is adamant at pursuing the path of wrongdoing, falsehood and lies.
Recognizing the eminent final signs of the Day of Reckoning in a dream means
that one is unaware of his heedlessness and such dream constitutes a warning.
If one’s reckoning is easy in a dream, it denotes his wife’s piety, compassion and
love for him. If one’s reckoning is detailed and painful in a dream, then it
represents major losses. If one’s good deeds weigh heavier than his bad deeds
in the dream, it means that his devotion is true and that his reward will be
greater. If one sees himself carrying the scale to weigh his own deeds in a dream,
it denotes his righteousness and correctness. If one sees an angel handing him
his records and telling him to read his own book in the dream, it also means that
he is on the right path. Walking on the bridge of the Day of Judgment, carrying
one’s own records and crying in a dream means that one is praying for God’s
forgiveness and to ease his reckoning. If one sees the Doomsday in a dream, it
means that he will escape from dangerous enemies, or that perhaps a major trial
will befall the dwellers of that place. If one crosses the Bridge of Judgement in
a dream, it means that he will escape a major trial, or perhaps it could represent
a major hurdle one may have to cross in this life. If one sees himself carrying
his book of records in his right hand in a dream, it means that he will win
righteousness, wealth and honor. If one sees himself carrying his book of records
in his left hand in a dream, it means that he will fall into sin and the consequent
poverty and need of others, for wealth and adultery do not mix. If one witnesses
the emergence of the Imposter ( Antichrist ) in a dream, it signifies new trends,
innovations and masses straying from the straight path. (Also see Intercession;
Reckoning; Rising of the dead; Trumpet of Resurrection)

Trumpet of Resurrection
Hearing the sound of the trumpet of the Day of Res¬
urrection in a dream means hearing the truth. Blowing in the trumpet of the arc
angel Israfil (uwbp) in a dream means salvation of the righteous ones. In a
dream, the sound of this trumpet invokes fear incurring news that cause shivers
and trembling in people’s hearts. If one hears it alone, then the news are
exclusive for him. If everyone hears its sound in the dream, then it is a public
affair. If one hears the sound of the trumpet and anticipates that everyone has
heard it too in a dream, it means plagues and adversities, for the first blow
indicates the end of the world and the death of everyone in it. The second blow
indicates their resurrection back to life, which will be followed by the Grand
Gathering for the Day of Judgment. If a sick person hears the first blow in a
dream, it means that he will shortly recover from his illness. If the town is
inflicted with a calamity, then hearing it in a dream means that people’s
adversities will be lifted. If there is a drought, it will end and food prices will
go back to normal. If one hears the second blow of the trumpet of resurrection
in a dream, it means prosperity, revealing what is hidden, exposing long kept
secrets, recovering from an illness, release from prison, reunion of beloveds, or
meeting with people who have just arrived from a long journey. (Also see
Blowing; Rising of the dead; Resurrection)

Bridge of the Day of Judgement
( arb. Sirat) This is the bridge people have to walk
on after the Day of Resurrection to meet their Lord on the Day of Judgement.
The ease of crossing it depends on the weight of deeds one is carrying. Some cross
like lightening, while others have to carry their burdens and move at varying
paste. Walking on it in a dream means a journey. If the bridge caves under one’s
feet in the dream, it means destruction and death. Seeing this bridge in a dream
also represents knowledge, truth, believing in God’s oneness and following the
teachings and example of God’s Messenger upon whom be peace. If one’s foot
slips while crossing in the dream, it means that he will miss the true path. If
one sees himself walking the path in a dream, it means that he is on the right
track, follows what is commanded and abstains from what is forbidden. It also
means that one will undergo awesome changes, undertakes major responsibili¬
ties and succeeds to reach safety. If one’s foot slips in a dream, it also means that
he will fall into sin and deviate from the straight path.

Interpreted by Ibn Sirin
Ship
(Boat; Human being; Might; Mother; Prison; Star; Salvation; Stress) Seeing
a ship in a dream means escape from danger, overcoming adversities, recovering
from an illness, or it could represent rain after a severe drought. If one who is
experiencing adversities sees a ship or a boat anchored in a harbor in his dream,
it means that his adversities will be lifted shortly. If one sees himself pulling
it, or driving it on dry land in a dream, it means that he is a hypocrite or a pimp.
If he rides a ship along with righteous people in a dream, it means that he is
guided on the straight path and that his sins will be forgiven. If one reaches the
shore and leaves the boat in a dream, it means that he will live in safety and
happiness, and he will escape from the danger of his enemies. If one who is
dismissed from his work sees himself on a boat in a dream, it means that he will
be rehired to occupy the same office and regain his authority, or that he may take
a dangerous trip during which he may either die or escape from death. If one
thinks that the ship does not befit his class or rank in the dream, it means that
he will face danger. If one’s ship is drowning, and if another ship comes to its
rescue in the dream, it means that one will escape from a great danger to fall
into the hands of a strong person, or that he will escape from a danger, though
should he disobey its captain and abandon the second ship in his dream, it
means that he may disobey his leader and go astray. Recovering one’s ship from
the deep in a dream means regaining power. If the ship in one’s dream is
interpreted as power, it means that he will lose his power or authority. If the
ship is interpreted as burdens and difficulties, it means that he will overcome
them through prayers or giving charity, or taking a medicine if he is ill. If one’s
ship drown, and if he sees himself floating in the water holding to a panel or
debris from the ship in the dream, it means that he will face the wrath of
someone in authority. If he is holdings leadership position, it means that he may
lose it. If he is a merchant, it means that he may go bankrupt. If he still dies
from his trial in the dream, it means that he may be killed, and his death will
still be an escape from something he feared most. An empty ship in a dream
means business profits. Seeing a passenger ship transporting people in a dream
means safety. If the ship is floating still in the dream, it means imprisonment.
To hold to the rope of a ship in a dream represents a religious person who joins
the company a pious teacher. Even if one sees himself dropping the ropes, or
lowering the anchor in his dream, it means that he will remain in the company
of such a person. Riding a ship along with one’s family, relatives and friends in
a dream means honor, prosperity and escape from one’s enemies. If one sees
himself crossing the sea with a small boat in the dream, it represents a danger
he will face. Seeing a ship floatingnicely in a dream means happiness. Standing
on the shore and watching a ship in the sea in a dream means receiving glad
tidings. If one sees the ship ascending in the skies in a dream, it represents slow
coming benefits, and if the ship is descending from the sky, it denotes fast
coming benefits. The beams of a ship represent religious men, faith, holding fast
to one’s religion, or they could mean complications. The sails of a ship in a dream
represent its captain. The crew represents servants. The rowing oars, the
rudders, or the propellers in a dream represent the movement of the ship, or the
children of its owner. The condition of a ship represents the state of the person
seeing the dream or his living condition. If one rescues a drowned ship in a
dream, it means that he will discover a treasure, or it could mean marriage if
one is unwed, or a financial gift for one who works for a governor. If one sees
himself as a ship ebbing and stretching as the tide fall in the sea, then if the sea
calms in the dream, it means that he will receive a high ranking appointment,
leadership, authority and honor. If one sees a ship floating over a sea of blood
in a dream, it means adultery. If the ship sinks, and if some of its debris and
boards remain afloat in the dream, it may mean the death of one’s mother, for
one’s mother was once his ship. Buying a ship in a dream means getting married.
Carrying oars in a dream means knowledge. A flying ship in a dream means the
death of its rider. A flying ship in a dream also may represent another type of
vehicle, or it could mean a coffin or a funeral. If one dies inside a ship that has
sunk in a dream, it means that he will be saved from suffering in the hereafter,
and he will also escape from what he fears most in this world. If he finds a hole
in the ship in his dream, it means that he may escape from drowning. A ship in
a dream also represents a heavy built woman. In a dream, a ship also represents
the Bridge of Judgement {Sirat) that will be stretched on the Day of Resurrection
for the creation to cross into the land of the Grand Gathering. A ship in a dream
also represents salvation, avoiding ignorance, or overcoming temptation. If a
sick person sees himself riding in the morgue of a ship with dead people in a
dream, it means that he will escape from the trials of this world. If a healthy
person who is seeking knowledge does so in a dream, it means that he may meet
with a spiritual teacher to benefit from his knowledge and wisdom, and to escape
from ignorance. If an indebted person does so in his dream, it means that he will
repay his debts, while for a deprived person, he too will find plenitude and
acquire wealth from unexpected sources. If one sees his ship sailing to the shore,
then if it becomes amphibious, driving him on dry land in the dream, it means
that he will waiver in his faith and deviate from the path of truth to follow
innovations, hypocrisy and insolence. If he is not seeking knowledge, it means
that he will divorce his wife, then proceed to live with her in sin. If he is a
merchant, it means that his business will stagnate and he will seek unlawful
methods to market his merchandise. In a dream, a ship also represents good
deeds, righteous companions, associating with a wise man, a good fellowship,
praiseworthy deeds, a handcraft, stagnation of one’s business, fear, hope,
salvation, a mosque, a marketplace, one’s father, one’s mother, master, teacher,
educator, wealth, a house, an adulteress, a vehicle, one’s wife, or his servant.

and leaves it light headed. A ship in a dream also represents the human form
and its body represents his body. Its oars represent his hands. Its front
represents his head. Its contents represent his brain. Its boards represent his

from one’s enemy. If it sinks in the sea in the dream, it also means that he is
one of the dwellers of hell-fire. If the ship turns into iron in the dream, it means
longevity. Eating the wood of a ship in a dream means receiving a sizeable

rain falls exclusively on a particular location in a dream, it means sorrow and
distress for its dwellers, or it could mean the loss of a beloved. If one sees rain
