Bride
If one sees a bride on her wedding day, dressed in her beautiful robe, looking
beautiful and adorned with flower in a dream, it means wealth in this world. If
one sees himself as a bridegroom and could not see his bride or recognize her
in the dream, or if she is not named or attributed to him in the dream, it means
his death or that he may commit a murder. If one recognizes his bride, looks at
her, and if she is named in the dream, it means that he will marry the same
woman. If one sees himself getting married in a dream, it means that he will gain
power equal to the position of that woman, her role, danger, her family’s status,

particularly if he looks different in the dream. If one is proud of himself, his
wealth, or power in a dream, it means that he oppresses others.

Ride
(Animal; Carrier; Mount; Vehicle) A vehicle in a dream represents care,
concern, attaining one’s purpose, or it could mean reaching one’s destination
through striving and hard work. To ride an animal in a dream means following
one’s desires and passions. However, to be carried by any animal, or by any type
of vehicle in a dream is a sign of honor and authority. Riding a horse one cannot
control in a dream means following one’s passions and wantonness. If one is able
to adequately tame his horse and control it in the dream, it means that he will
be saved from adversities. Riding an elaborately dressed horse for a parade,
being surrounded by servants and an entourage in the dream means receiving
an inheritance, or it could mean becoming the guardian of an estate one will
inherit in a short while. Riding over the shoulder of another man and forcing
him to accept it in a dream represents one’s funeral, and it means that the other
person will have no choice but to carry the coffin. If the person carrying him in
the dream is willingly doing so, then it means that he will care for his needs and
bear his encumbrance. Riding over someone’s shoulders in a dream also means
facing an major adversity. Should he meanwhile fall down in the dream, it
means that such a trial will not take place. If one sees himself riding over
someone’s shoulder backward in a dream, it means that he does not accept any
advice or excuse, or it may mean that he turns to the other side if he is asked
for help, or it may mean that he engages in the forbidden sexual intercourse
during women’s menstrual period, or that he engages in sodomy. To see a
horseman leading a procession or a caravan of travellers in a dream means
taking a distant journey, or it could represent business activities, or recovering

Temples
( anat .) In a dream, one’s temples represent two noble and blessed sons.
Anything that affects them in the dream will affect one’s sons. Temples in a
dream also could mean recovering from an illness. If one is suffering from a
migraine headache sees his temples turn into iron in a dream, it means that he
will find a cure for his illness. One’s temples in a dream also may be interpreted
as money. Plucking out the facial hair from someone’s temples in a dream means
borrowing money from him, and the lender will take pride in lending him money.
If a rich person sees himself plucking out his facial hair in a dream, it means
that he may lose his wealth. If a poor person sees that dream, it means that he
will repay his debts. (Also see Body)

Lion
(A tyrant; An unjust ruler; Death; Healing from a sickness; Receiving an
inheritance) A lioness in a dream represents ignorance, pride, affectation and
perfidy. Seeing a lion without being seen, means escape from harm one may fear,
attaining knowledge and growing in wisdom. A struggle with a lion that does
not lead to one’s death in a dream means observing a long lasting diet caused
by an illness. If one fights with a lion and eats or snatches off a piece of his flesh,
bones or hair in a dream, it means that he will attain success, leadership, wealth
or conquer his enemy. Sleeping beside a lion in a dream means safety from
illness, or protection from one’s enemy. If one sees a lion inside his own house
in a dream, it means that he will gain the upper hand, or it could represent

means a plague that will strike such a town. (Also see Lioness)

endowment. The neck and the shoulders in a dream represent one's trust or
trustworthiness. A healthy and strong neck in a dream means trustworthiness
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 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

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

If one's fingers are paralyzed in a dream, it means that he has committed an

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

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,

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

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,

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

end or buttocks in the dream, it means giving high praises to an unworthy and
an impious person or commending him. The male and female sexual organs

the male organ or woman's vagina in a dream of good or bad will reflect in their
lives. Seeing one's penis in a dream means children, money, pride, state, or
authority. The testicles represent one's livelihood, one's daughters, protection
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

Masjid
(arb. God’s House; Mosque; Place of worship) In Arabic, the word masjid
means a place of prostration, while the word Jami means a place of gathering.
A masjid or a mosque in a dream represents a scholar and its gates represent
men of knowledge and the guardians, or the attendants of God’s House. Building
a masjid in a dream means emulating the traditions of God’s Prophet, upon
whom be peace, fostering the unity of one’s family, or becoming a judge, should
one qualify for such an office. A masjid filled with people in a dream represents
a gnostic, a man of knowledge and wisdom, or a preacher who invites people
to his house, advises them, brings their hearts together, teaches them the
precepts of their religion and explains the wisdom behind the divine revelations.
Seeing a masjid being demolished in a dream means that such a gnostic, or
religious scholar and devout believer will die in that locality. In a dream, if the
roof of a masjid caves in, it means that one will indulge in an abominable action.
If one sees a stranger performing his prayers in a masjid in a dream, it means
that the Imam of that masjid will dies from a terminal illness. If one enters a
masjid in the company of a group of people, and if they dig a small hole for him
inside the masjid in the dream, it means that he will get married. If one’s house
becomes a masjid in a dream, it means that he will attain piety, purity of heart,
escetic detachment and an honor he will receive from his brethren. He will also
call upon them to follow what is true and to abstain from what is false. If a masjid
is transformed into a bathhouse in a dream, it means that a chaste person will
turn corrupt or become heedless. A masjid in a dream also represents a
marketplace or a business. If one has to climb up a staircase to reach the masjid
in a dream, then the masjid represents a thrifty person who does not like to
share what he has. If one has to climb down a staircase to reach the masjid in
a dream, it means that his needs will be satisfied. If a masjid in the city is moved
to a remote village in a dream, it means stagnation of one’s business, being
ostracized from one’s community, or it could mean legal complications related
to one’s inheritance. If a ruler builds a house for God Almighty or a masjid in
a dream, it means that he will be a just ruler and he will govern his subject by
the divine laws. If a religious scholar builds a masjid in a dream, it means that
he will author a book that will benefit others, or delivers a commentary on a
complex religious issue, or if he is wealthy, it means that he will pay the alms
tax due on his assets. Building a masjid in a dream also means getting married,
or conceiving a child who will grow to become a righteous and a knowledgeable
scholar, or if one is poor, it means that he will become rich. Otherwise, it means
that one will serve God’s House and fill it with invocations, supplications,
serving the interest of the community, leading the people to unity and love, and
teaching them to value obedience to God’s commands. Building a masjid in a
dream also could mean becoming a real estate agent, or repenting from one’s
sins, or receiving guidance on God’s path, or to die as a martyr, hence, what one
builds for God Almighty in a dream, represents his house in paradise. Such
interpretation applies if one builds a masjid following the proper procedures
and with lawfully earned money, and using proper materials. Otherwise,
building it with what is unlawful of money or materials in the dream, or
changing the direction of the prayer niche, etcetera, then one’s dream will carry
the opposite meaning. If one builds a masjid or a fellowship house in a dream,
it means that he will seek the path of knowledge and wisdom, or that he will
attend a pilgrimage during that same year, or establish a permanent business,
such as a hotel, a bathhouse or a shop, etcetera. Building the roof of a masjid
in a dream means taking care of orphans, or sponsoring homeless children.
Expanding a masjid in a dream means increase in one’s good deeds, repentance
from a sin, adopting good conduct, or being just. Seeing oneself inside a new
masjid one does not recognize in a dream means attending the pilgrimage to
God’s House in Mecca during that same year, or joining religious circles to learn
about one’s religion. If one’s shop becomes a masjid, or if the masjid becomes a
shop in the dream, it denotes lawful earnings, or it could mean mixing lawful
and unlawful earnings. A forsaken masjid or mosque in a dream means
intentionally ignoring the value of gnostics and religious scholars, or denying
the necessity to command what is good and to eschew what is evil. A forsaken
masjid in a dream also denotes the presence of ascetics who have renounced the
world and its people and care less about their material possessions. A known
mosque in a dream represents the city where it is erected. For instance, the Aqsa
mosque in a dream represents Jerusalem, the Sacred mosque represents Mecca,
the Prophet’s Mosque (uwbp) represents Medina, the Omayyad mosque represents
Damascus, Al-Azhar mosque represents Cairo and the Blue mosque represents
Istanbul, etcetera. A known mosque in a dream also could represent the
renowned scholars who live in that place, or the ruler of that country, or any
of his ministers. If one enters a mosque and immediately after crossing the
entrance gate, he prostrates himself to God Almighty in the dream, it means
that he will be given the opportunity to repent for his sins. If one comes to a
masjid and finds its doors locked, then if someone opens the door to him in a
dream, it means that he will help someone in paying his debt, then extol his good
virtues in public. If one enters a mosque riding on an animal in a dream, it means
that he will cut off his connection with his relatives, leave them behind and
forbid them to follow him. If one dies in a masjid in a dream, it means that he
will die as a true penitent. If the carpet or the straw mat of a mosque becomes
a shredded rag in the dream, it means that the community of that masjid is
divided and corrupt. Building a masjid in a dream also means overcoming one’s
enemy. Entering the Sacred Mosque in Mecca in a dream means arriving with
one’s bride to their new home and it could mean fulfillment of a promise, being
truthful, dispelling one’s fear and reaching the shore of safety. (Also see Minaret;
Minbar; Mosque)

Saffron
(Aroma; Perfume; Stigma) In a dream, If dried saffron does not stain the
skin or a gown, then it represents lauding someone, commending him, or
speaking good of someone. If its color does stain the skin or one’s gown in the
dream, then it represents an illness. Grinding the dried purple saffron flowers
in a dream to use it as powder, or as an additive for making perfumes in a dream

Pot
(Cooking pot; Vessel) In a dream, a cooking pot represents one’s wife, his
livelihood and home, while the lid represents the husband. If the pot looks in
a good condition and of value in one’s dream, then it represents his nobility and
honor. A pottery cookware salesman in a dream represents comfort and one does
not need to travel to earn his livelihood, while a copper cookware or other types
of cookware salesman in a dream represent a livelihood based on travelling from
door to door. A cooking pot in a dream also represents a scholar or a man of
knowledge who is sitting in the teacher’s chair, while the meat, vegetables and
spices inside the pot represent his knowledge, wisdom and their benefits for the
seeker. A pot on fire with water boiling inside it in a dream represents a divorced
woman. A pot in a dream also represents a handsome looking man who cares
about his neighbors’ opinions. A pot in a dream also could represent a house¬
keeper . Whatever happens to it in a dream could affect the housekeeper. If there
is a sick person in a family, and if one sees a cooking pot he does not know what’s
inside it in a dream, the stove here represents his bed, the fire represents his
depression and the boiling water represents his worries. If the boiling stops, and
if the contents start to cool down, and if the fire is put off in one’s dream, it means
that he will recover from his illness. Putting a pot with meat and vegetables on
the stove in a dream means imposing oneself on someone to receive a favor. If
the meat is cooked in his dream, it means that one will greatly benefit from such
a person, and his earnings will be lawful. If the meat does not cook, it means that
whatever he earns through the other person will be unlawful. Stirring a pot in
a dream means backbiting someone. If one eats directly from the pot in a dream,
it represents money one could save otherwise beside other benefits. If the pot
one is stirring in his dream does not contain any meat or food, it means that he
will ask a poor person to do something beyond his means, and consequently he
will not benefit from his doing. A cooking pot in a dream also represents one’s
relentlessness toward his enemy. A pot in a dream also denotes one’s content¬
ment and his acceptance of his destiny and of the divine providence. A pot in a
dream also represents a woman or money. The sauce represents lawful earnings
that are accompanied with some hassles. (Also see Earthenware pot; Jar)
Potter: In a dream, a potter represents someone who handles pots and pitchers,
or he could represent a servant, a housekeeper, women, girls or daughters.
Seeing a potter in a dream also means pride about one’s lineage, wealth, or

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)

a dream, it means that he is carrying trouble. Depending on its type and name,
a garment in a dream could represent a man or a woman. Wearing a new
garment in a dream is better than seeing an old one. If a man sees himself

for one’s sins. Wearing a jubbah or a long cloak in a dream means longevity.
Wearing an open sports jacket in a dream means ease in one’s life or financial

means prosperity and a wealth that is saved for one’s children, or it could mean
buying new merchandise for one’s shop. Wearing a military uniform in a dream
means distress, trouble or a scientific dispute. Wearing one’s traditional cos¬
tumes in a dream, or that of another community means to befriend them and

benevolence and kindness in crossing over danger. A boat in a dream also
represents one’s relatives. Thus, whatever atmospheric conditions the skies
exhibits during the crossing or during a journey by boat, they will manifest in
one’s family. In a dream, a fireboat means dispelling anxieties, overcoming

Garden
(Flower garden) A garden in a dream means repentance, and repentance
from sin in a dream means a garden. Watering one’s garden in a dream means
having marital relations. If one sees his garden dry in a dream, it means that
his wife has commenced her menstrual period during which he is not permitted
to have sexual intercourse with her. If he sees someone else watering his garden
in a dream, it means that such a person will betray him with his wife. If one sees
himself entering an unknown garden with its trees unattended and its pasture
unkempt in a dream, it means distress and worries. A garden in a dream also
represents a woman. They both need water and they both bear fruits or children.
In this case, if the garden is interpreted to represent a woman, then its trees and
fruits represent her tribe, family and children. An unknown garden in a dream
also represents the Holy Quran. A garden in a dream also represents a
marketplace, a new bride’s house, a property, an animal domesticated for
service, a shop, a business, a tavern, a bathhouse, generosity, an army made of
slaves, cattle or personal assets. If one sees himself inside a garden in a dream,
it means comfort and growth in his life. If the house to which this garden belongs
is God’s house, then the man seeing it is in paradise. If he is sick, it means that
he will die from his illness and enter that paradise. If the garden is unknown
in the dream, it means martyrdom and particularly if he finds inside the garden
a woman calling him to herself, or to drink milk or honey from the garden’s rivers
and the same is true if the garden does not look like the ones he is accustomed
to see in the world. Otherwise, If one sees himself looking at a garden, and if he
is unmarried, it means that he will meet a suitable woman and get married. If
he is married, it means that he will receive joy from his wife equal to that which
he received from the garden in his dream. If one finds within such a garden a
group of associates or colleagues, the garden then represents a marketplace. If
one sees a servant or a worker of his urinating inside a well or a stream inside
such a garden in the dream, it means that a relative will betray the interests
of the family. A garden whose owner is known in a dream represents a mosque,
a park, people of knowledge, ignorant people, the generous ones or the stingy
ones. It also represents a meeting place where the rich and the poor, the
righteous and the insolent gather. A garden in a dream also may indicate a
religious center, a school, a center for scientific research and studies, a place of
worship, etcetera. If one enters a garden at the season of plucking its fruits in
a dream, it means glad tidings, money and increase in one’s good deeds,
marriage or children. On the other hand, if he enters a garden in the fall in a
dream, it means defamation, indebtedness, divorce, or it could mean loss of a
child. Seeing a deceased person in a garden means that he is in paradise. A
garden in a dream also represents a source of nourishment. Its fruits are colorful
and their taste ranges from sweet to salty and from sour to bitter. (Also see House
garden; Quran)

Pilgrimage
(Hajj) Performing the pilgrimage to Mecca, fulfilling its obligatory
pillars and celebrating its ceremonies in a dream represents one’s spiritual and
religious growth. It will bring him a great reward in this life and in the next,
appease his fears, and imply that he is a trustworthy person. If this dream
occurs during the pilgrimage season, it means profits for a merchant, recovery
for the sick, finding guidance after heedlessness, or it could mean that one will
perform his pilgrimage if he had not yet fulfilled this obligatory religious duty.
If one’s dream takes place outside the pilgrimage season, then it could mean the
opposite. If one sees himself as a pilgrim in a dream, and if he disdains from
actually perform his pilgrimage, though he possesses the means to do so, it
means that he is a reprobate and an ungrateful person. Performing one’s
pilgrimage in a dream also indicates the necessity to serve one’s parents and to
be true to them, or the duty to serve one’s teacher and be truthful with him.
Performing one’s pilgrimage in a dream also means visiting a gnostic, a saint,
a shaikh, a scholar, or it it could mean getting married, acquiring knowledge,
satisfying one’s needs, recuperating from an illness, repenting from sin, or
joining the company of pious people. If one travels to perform his pilgrimage
using a vehicle in a dream, it means that he will receive help from God Almighty.
If he travels on foot leading a camel in the dream, it means that he will do so
with the help of a woman. If he rides an elephant in the dream, it means that
he will perform his pilgrimage as a member of a governmental delegation. If one
travels on foot in the dream, it means that he has made a vow which he must
fulfil. Seeing oneself returning from a pilgrimage in a dream means profits and
relief from stress. If one carries his provisions with him in the dream, it means
that he stands before his Lord with piety and reverence. Carrying the pilgrims’s
provisions in a dream also means paying poor people their dues, or it could mean
paying one’s debts. If one sees himself going to perform his pilgrimage alone, and
the people standing up to pay their farewell to him in a dream, it means that
he will die shortly. (Also see Arafat; Circumambulation; Cradle of Ismail;

Statue
(Idol) A statue in a dream represents falsehood, inventions, make-shift,
fiction, illusion, heedlessness, or a nice looking person who is full of deception.
Worshipping a statue in a dream means lying to God Almighty, or that one
worships what his mind tells him to worship, whether it is a physical object or
a child of one’s imagination. If it is acarved wooden statue in the dream, it means
that he ingratiates himself to rich people, or to an unjust person in authority
through his religion. If the statue is built from wood in the dream, it means that
one seeks religious arguments or disputes. If the statue is made of silver in the
dream, it means that one elicits sexual relationship with his servant, or with
a foreign woman, or perhaps just a friendship. If the statue is made of gold in
the dream, it means that one may commit an abominable action, or a religious
inequity, or seeks profits from someone at the expense of displeasing God
Almighty and consequently, one will suffer financial losses or health problems.
If the statue combines mixed material of bronze, copper, steel, iron, or lead in
the dream, it means that such a person uses his religious garb to make profits,
and that he often forgets about his Lord. A statue in a dream also means travels.
Seeing a golden or a silver statue in a dream also could mean prosperity. Seeing
a bronze statue of a young woman moving around in a dream means a good
harvest, prosperity, or travels. If the statue is bigger than life-size, then it
means a fright. Statues in a dream also represent one’s children, his sexual
drive, or his determination. If one sees himself worshiping a statue in a dream,
it means that he is engaged in falsehood, giving preference to his personal
desires and passions over obeying his Lord’s commands. If one sees himself
worshiping a golden statue in a dream, it means that he will solicit business
from someone who worships God Almighty, though he will also suffer losses
from such an association. It also means that he will lose his investment and it
will show the weakness of his faith. If one sees himself worshiping a statue made
of silver in the dream, it means that he uses his religion to make business out
of it, or to betray others through it, or that he will solicit the help of someone
to do evil, or that he may sexually abuse a young girl who trusts his religious
appearance. If one sees a statue and does not associate it with worship, or if
he does not see anyone worshiping it in his dream, his dream then represents
financial gains. A statue in a dream also means to be enamored with a woman
or a boy. Statues in a dream also could mean deafness, idiotic behavior,
dumbness, attachment to anything in this world, making an idol out of it, such
as one’s love and attachment to his position, status, business, wife, beloved,
house, or child, etcetera. If one owns a statue in a dream, it means that he may
marry a deaf, or a dumb, or a non-intelligent woman, or that he may beget a child
who will grow up having one or more of these defects. In whatever condition one
sees the statue in his dream, it will reflect on any of the above. A statue in a
dream also represents a generation. If the statue is missing something in the
dream, such defect will definitely manifest in one’s society. Seeing a statue in
a dream also could reflect one’s strength and determination. If one breaks a
statue, or lames it, or damages it in a dream, it means that he will vanquish his
enemy and earn rank and fame. If the statue in the dream portrays a particular
woman, or if it is interpreted to represent a specific woman, then she will be
quiet, intelligent and serene, or it could mean that she is stupid and has pride.

If one sees himself holding the sun in a dream, it means that he will gain
strength and wealth that will come about through someone in the government.
If one receives the sun hanging as a necklace in a dream, it means that he will
win a seat in the senate. If he goes near the sun or sits inside it in a dream, it
means that he will acquire power, wealth and support. Should he qualify, the
stretch of his power will extend between the two horizons he sees in his dream,
or it may mean that he will acquire a knowledge coupled with fame. If one sees
that he owns the sun in a dream, it means that his words will be respected and
listened to by someone in authority. If someone in authority sees the sun looking
clear and brilliant in the dream, it means that his authority will grow, or that

dream, it represents his death. If one sees the sun rising from an unusual
direction in a dream, it represents a beneficial knowledge he will acquire. If the
sun shines over one’s head and not the rest of his body in a dream, it means that
he will receive a prominent responsibility. If its rays rise to shine over his feet
and not the rest of his body in the dream, it means a farming project that brings
him prosperity and lawful earnings. If the sun discretely shines over one’s belly
and without people’s noticing it in the dream, it means that he will be struck
with leprosy. If it shines over his chest and not the balance of his body in the
dream, it means a sickness. If a woman sees that the sun has embraced her from
her neck down in a dream, it means that she will marry a person in authority

in a dream, it means his death. If one sees the sun setting and himself walking
behind it, it also means death. If one sees himself walking behind the sun in a
dream, it means that he will be captured and imprisoned. If one sees the sun

or bad has passed. If one sees the sun rising at times different than its usual
sun rising time in a dream, it means that an uprising against the government
will take place in different parts of the country. If one sees himself with the sun
in a dream and should he be working in the government, or the army, it means
that he will betray his superior, or the ruler of that land. Otherwise, it means
that his condition will deteriorate and life will turn against him. If the sun has
no rays in the dream, it means that the governor or the general of the army will lose respect.
If he is an administrator, it means that he will be dismissed from his function.
If he is a subject or an employee it means that he will lose his source
of income. If a woman sees a sun that has no rays in a dream, it means that her
husband will deprive her of her needs. If one sees the sun split in two in a dream,
it means losing one’s dominion. If one sees the sun falling down in a dream, it
means that a major calamity will befall the inhabitants of the earth. If it falls

person seeing it, or divulging a secret. The rising of the sun from the West also
means recovering from an illness, and for a businessman, it means profits from
that direction, but in general, it may mean revealing a secret, or it could mean
a scandal or death. The same interpretation is given if one sees the sun rising
from the South to set in the North. If the sun changes its nature in a dream, it
means trouble in that land. If one sits under the sun in a dream, it means that
he will receive honor and blessed profits. Grabbing some rays of the sun in a
dream means receiving undiminishing wealth. The sunrise in a dream also
means waking people up to go to work, seeking one’s livelihood, begetting a son,
or releasing a prisoner. If one is hiding something, then seeing the sun in his
dream means that his secret will be exposed. If one sees the rays of the sun
falling over his bed or threatening him in a dream, it means a painful sickness,
or inflammation of the skin. If the sun rays which are falling over his bed provide
him with good energy in the dream, it means a good harvest, or good health. If
travellers see many suns in the sky in a dream, it means profits and prosperity.
Running away from the sun in a dream means that one may leave his wife, or
he may run away from the governor of that land, or escape from an evil. If the
sun and the moon meet in one’s dream, it means a royal marriage, or a marriage
between a beautiful woman and a wealthy man. Clouds covering the rays of the
sun in a dream means an illness. If one carries the sun in a bag in a dream, it
means money. The sun in a dream also could represent a wise man, or a teacher
one whose company is sought. Otherwise, the sun in a dream could represent,
the governor, one’s husband, wife, child, mother, daughter, aunt, father, or
grandfather and the above interpretations will relate to such a person. Whatever
happens to the sun in the dream, will then affect such people. If one sees the sun
rising, then immediately setting in the same direction in a dream, it means a
newborn who may die shortly after his birth, returning an ex-prisoner to jail
shortly after his release, earning amazing amounts of money, or repenting from
sin, reverting to wrongdoing, the return of a bride to her parent’s house
immediately after her wedding night, or it could mean reconciliation between
husband and wife. If one sees the sun and the moon shinning on him in a dream,
it means that his parents are pleased with him. If one sees himself prostrating
to the sun or the moon in a dream, it means that he will commit an awful sin,
or a heinous crime. In a dream, the sun also represents one’s livelihood,
earnings, spiritual guidance, following the truth, new garments, or recovering
from a serious illness. Seeingmany suns in the sky in a dream means the spread
of religious innovations. If the brightness of the sun grows beyond normal to
become unbearable in the dream, it means adversities. Eating up the sun in a
dream means benefiting from its services and prospering from its rays, or that
one may become a man of knowledge, a scholar, an astrologer, or a fortuneteller.
If the rays of the sun cause burns to someone in a dream, it means that he will fall
in love with a beautiful face, or perhaps he will be hurt by someone he adores,
or it could mean loss of spiritual direction, or it could be a severe warning about
a woman he loves. If a woman sees herself carrying the sun in a dream, it means
that she will find a husband, or bear a son. If one sees the sun talking to him
in a dream, it means that he will discover a mystery or acquire knowledge about
spirits, or he could become a translator, an analyst, or a consultant. Seeing the
sun, the moon and the stars together in a dream denotes adversities, jealousy
on the part of one’s own family, or they could denote fear. If the rays of the sun
burns the crop in a dream, it means a devastation and a plague or rising prices.

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

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

funeral in the dream, it means that someone among his children or in the family of that person will shortly die. If no crying or sorrow follows his death, then it

in a dream, and if it does not take place, then it means that one is experiencing
confused dreams. If one sees a deceased person well dressed in a white or a green
garment, smiling and happy in a dream, it means that he is in that state one
witnessed in his dream. Otherwise, if one sees him disheveled, dirty, frowning
or crying in a dream, this also denotes his condition in the hereafter. If one sees
a deceased person sick in a dream, it means that his condition is contingent upon
the satisfaction of his debts and that he is awaiting the Divine justice to take
its course. Performing a funeral prayer for deceased people in a dream means
asking for forgiveness on their behalf or visiting their graves, or it could mean
admonishing someone with a dead heart, or it could mean bidding farewell to
traveling people or taking care of needy people. If one's wife dies and returns
back to life in a dream, it means making profits from a plantation or a farm.

a dream, it means that he will shortly die. If a married person dies and gets
buried in a dream, it means that he will divorce his wife or break a business
partnership or separates from his brothers, sisters and friends, or it could mean

something he left. If he looks beautiful, happy and well dressed in the dream,
it means that such happiness will become the inheritance of his descendants.
If one sees a deceased person busy, worried and ill dressed in a dream, it means
that he is engaged in a struggle that can only subside by the will of God
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

beats the person seeing the dream, it means that one has displeased his Lord
and has committed an abominable act from which he should repent, for in the

wedding or after having marital relations with one’s wife means mistrust and
loss. It also means involvement in an uncouth action, lacking knowledge of the

air looks opaque in one’s eyes, so he cannot see the skies in his dream, it means
problems with one’s superior. If one does not have a boss, then it means that he
may lose his sight. If all the people witnessed the air opaque or red in the dr earn,

ofthe lowerjaw represent the female members of one's family from the mother's
side. The closer the teeth are to the incisor, the closer is the relative. Divided
in two sections, the upper right incisor represents the father, and the upper left
incisor represents the paternal uncle, or it could represent one's sisters, sons,
or a close friend. The upper canines represent one's cousin. or two friends who
