Soldiers
(Angels; Travel) Soldiers in a dream represent God’s arc angels and the
soldiers of mercy, while mercenaries in a dream represent the soldiers of
punishment. If one sees himself as a soldier eating his meal inside the chambers
of a king in a dream, it means that he will control a land without much efforts
on his part. If one’s name is listed as a soldier in a dream, it represents his
welfare, satisfaction, or that he will continue his education. If a bedridden
person sees himself as a soldier in a camp, or that he is discharged from the army
in a dream, it means that his illness will end in his death, or it may mean
difficulties, distress and losses. A gathering of soldiers in a dream means
destruction of the wrongdoers and victory of the righteous ones. A soldier
carrying a scourge or arrows in a dream also represents good conduct. A count
of one hundred soldiers in a dream represents the chastisement and calamity
which God Almighty inflicts upon the people of the earth because of their sins
at the conclusion of each century, or at the beginning of a new one. Seeing one
thousand soldiers in a dream represents the blessed Night of Power which
occurs near the end of the fasting month of Ramadan. If soldiers are led by a
prophet, a king, a wise man, or a man of knowledge in one’s dream, it means
victory for the believers. If one sees an army entering a town in a dream, they
could represent rain. (Also see Night of Power)

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

one’s front door in the dream, it means that such difficulties will come from the

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

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

Well
In a dream, a well inside one’s house means prosperity, riches, a wife,

he is thinking about a particular woman for marriage. A well in a dream is also
interpreted to represent knowledge, marriage, a big man, prison, ties, or
deception. If one digs a well and finds water in it in his dream, it means that
he will marry a wealthy woman whom he will deceive. If the water gushes forth,
rises and runs outside of an old well in the dream, it represents crying and grief
in that place. Digging a well and finding water to channel for one’s garden in
a dream means taking an herbal remedy to cure one’s impotence, or to save his

barmaid in a dream means finding a spiritual teacher, or joining a fellowship
and a school for the seekers. If one sees the well of Zamzam quenching the thirst
of people in a particular neighborhood other than Mecca in a dream, it means
that a gnostic will come to that town, and whose knowledge and wisdom will
greatly benefit its people. It also may denote the bounty and blessings which are
imparted to that town, or it could denote the victory of its people over their real
enemy. Drinking from such a well in a dream means fulfillment of one’s
intentions and satisfaction of his needs. In a dream, a well also means a prison
or depression. If one is in such a state, it means that his adversities will
dissipate, and that he will reestablish himself in the circles of people in
authority. If the person in the dream is a seer who predicts events, then he may
be involved in the circles of governors, particularly to interpret their dreams.
It is possible that he also might receive emissaries of notable people who will
bring him what pleases him. It also could mean a fight in one’s family involving
jealousy, envy, betrayal, though at the end one will triumph over them. Falling
into a well in a dream also means being indicted in an alleged crime from which
one is clearly innocent. A well in a dream is also interpreted as levying taxes,

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

says about himself in a dream is true, for he has reached the abode of truth and

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
