looking for work. A marketplace in a dream also represents a mosque, or
winning a war. In fact, the merchants and the customers bargain with one
another, some win and some lose. If a knowledge seeking student sees himself
in a marketplace that he does not recognize, then if he walks away from it in
the dream, it means that he will cease schooling or interrupt his studies and
fail to acquire his degree, or it could mean that he has missed his Friday
congregational prayers. It also could mean that the knowledge he is seeking is
not intended to please God Almighty. If one sees himself shoplifting in a dream,
it means that he steals, or holds contempt and conceit in his heart, or if he is
a man of knowledge, it means that he will foster falsehood or become affected.
If one sees a common marketplace on fire, or filled with people, or with a stream
of fresh water running in the middle of it, or if it is fragrant with perfumes in
the dream, then it represents good business for everyone and increase in their
profits, though hypocrisy will later on spread among the people. Otherwise, if
one finds the shops closed, the merchants drowsing and spiders webs spreading
in every corner and covering the merchandise in the dream, it means stagnation
of business or suffering major losses. Seeing the marketplace in a dream is also
interpreted to represent the world. Whatever affects it will show in people’s
lives, in their mosques, churches, or temples including their profits, losses,
clothing, recovering from illness, lies, stress, sorrows or adversities. If the
market is quiet in the dream, then it represents the laziness of its salespeople.

one’s dream could mean that one will stand to admonish people or counsel them.
Seeing the early righteous people and the blessed companions of God’s Prophet,
upon whom be peace, in a dream means growth of one’s righteousness. If one sees

accepts his admonition in the dream, though in wakefulness he does not follow
this school of thought, it means that he will be tried with an adversity that will

from sin in a dream means a garden. Watering one’s garden in a dream means

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

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

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

husband in a dream, it means that she will flirt with him and show him

If one’s tongue sticks to his palate in a dream, it means that he will deny or reject
someone’s right, refute the truth, or lie about a trust he received to keep for a
time. Eating one’s tongue or biting on it in a dream represents an act one will
regret. If a governor sees that in a dream, it means that he swindles people’s

remaining mostly silent, withholding one’s advice, or controlling one’s fury and
anger. Biting one’s tongue in a dream also could denote gluttony. Cutting off
one’s tongue in a dream means invalidating one’s argument or proof, or
preventing him from asking for anything. The cutting off of a poet’s tongue in

in a dream means that one may preside over his own people. If he is a wretched
person, it means that he is a liar. If someone who is scared of something sees
his tongue in a dream, it means that he will lose his battle and become subject

tongues in a dream, it means that he will have a large family. Having many

tongue is like a hand through which he takes things. If a scholar’s tongue is cut
off in a dream, it means that he will lose his argument, or it could mean the death
of his assistant, student or son. Losing one’s tongue in a dream represents the
malicious joy of one’s enemy, family, or neighbors for one’s losses, or it could
mean the death of a beloved, severing a relationship, or a plant disease that will
affect one’s fruit bearing trees. Perhaps losing one’s tongue in a dream could
mean separation between husband and wife, divorce, losing one’s job, or moving
to a new town. Having two tongues in a dream also means backbiting others,
or having two faces with people, for people say that so-and so has two tongues
or two faces. If the second tongue does not impede the person from speaking in
the dream, then it denotes his truthfulness, love and affection toward others.
One’s tongue in a dream also may represent something one fears, such as the
collapsing of a roof over his head, or it could represent an enemy. It also means
isolating oneself from people of knowledge and wisdom, or it could mean
remaining mostly silent, minding one’s own business, or offering devotion and
being grateful to God Almighty for His gifts and blessings. One’s tongue in a
dream also represents a captured prisoner of war, or a snake hiding in its pit.

Carrying a child in a dream means managing an inheritance or a financial
investment. If an elderly person sees himself roaming as a little child in a dream,
it means that he will commit an act of ignorance or lose his dignity, ideals or
sense of honor. On the other hand, if such an elderly person who sees himself
in a dream as a little child is suffering from depression or financial difficulties
or health problems, then it means relief from distress and good health and that
he will become free from his sins, like the day his mother gave birth to him. If
one sees that he has a little child who disdains from coming near his father in
the dream, it means financial promotion and enjoyment of one’s life. If one sees
a little child screaming in his lap in a dream, it means that he plays a string
instrument. Children in a dream also could mean either sorrow and pain or
happiness and joy. If they are one’s own children in the dream, then they mean
temptation with money. Children in a dream also could mean contentment with
little or loss of one’s means to earn his livelihood or they could mean money or
marriage or a flourishing business. Bereavement of a child in a dream means
the opposite in real life. It also means rejoicing, reunions, pleasures and earning
respect. Bereavement of a child in a dream is sometimes interpreted to portray
an intention of one’s children or wife to separate from the family. A little male
child in a dream represents worries, responsibilities, hard work, catering to
ignorant people or dealing with trivial and time wasting people. If a prisoner
sees himself carrying a little girl in his dream, it means that he will be released
from his prison. If one who is going through hard times sees himself holding a
little girl in a dream, it means that his adversities will be lifted. If he is poor,
it means that he will thrive for success and the little girl then represents his glad
tidings.

S.iddiqun
He is the arc angel Saddiqiin, upon whom be peace, who is in charge
of interpreting the meaning of dreams and visions, or giving explanatory
parables drawn from the heavenly Preserved Tablet. Seeing him (uwbp) in a
dream represents glad tidings, festivities, fulfilling promises, recognizing the
inevitability of death, enjoying life, travels, coming home, marriage, children,
a high ranking appointment, gaining power, victory, or perhaps defeat and
humiliation. Whatever this blessed angel of dreams gives or tells will take effect
as it is, for he is in charge of such a duty. The arc angel Saddiqiin in a dream
also represents the speaker of the house, the translator of the palace, the one
who delivers the royal decree and knows the inner secrets. Seeing him in a
dream also represents piety, medicine, clarity, perspicacity, transparency of
one’s vision, the school teacher who keeps looking at the blackboard, the

Fountain
In a dream, a fountain placed in a suitable place or as a decorative item
in the middle of a yard or a park represents honor, dignity, dispelling worries
or adversities, hearing good news or listening to good music, squandering
money, dispersal of one’s interests, breaking a gathering, or adding and sub¬
tracting if seen near an accountant. A fountain in a dream also means avoiding
evil actions. If one is told that such a fountain is a blessed one in the dream, it
means the opposite, and should one wash himself with its water or drink from
it in a dream, it means depression and trouble. A fountain in a dream also could
represent a beautiful, rich and a noble woman. If no water is coming from the
fountainhead in the dream, then it represents a poor woman or a barren woman.
(Also see Fountainhead; Spring)
Fountainhead: A fountainhead in a dream represents blessings, grace, bounty and
attaining one’s goal. If one sees many springs gushing forth inside his own house
in a dream, and if he is not a discrete person, it represents a calamity that will
bringhim and his family to their knees with sorrow and tears. If one sees himself
taking a ritual ablution for prayers from a fountainhead in a dream, it means
that he will receive lawful money. Discovering a fountainhead in a dream means
prosperity. If the spring gushes forth inside one’s house or from the walls of one’s
house in the dream, then it means a calamity or a misfortune that will be caused
by a woman, a brother or a brother in-law. If the water flows into the street in
a dream, it means that such a calamity or adversity will leave that house and
peace will finally prevail. If the water is pure and clean in the dream, it means
depression along with a strong and a healthy body. What is disliked in such
dreams is the murky water. If one owns a stream in a dream, it represents one’s
livelihood, his shop, business, work, or one’s good deeds that remain beneficial
even after his death and until the Day of Judgment such as a blessed progeny,
a school or a mosque he builds, a road he opens, a book of knowledge he leaves
behind.oracharitableendowment. Seeingwaters overflowing from afountainhead
and flooding one’s property means sadness, crying and sorrow and the same
applies if one drinks from that water in his dream. If one sees several springs
gushing forth in a dream, it means prospering through dirty actions and
corruption. Seeing a spring in the valley in a dream means blessings for most
people and particularly for the sick and the needy. A dried well in a dream means
the opposite. If one who is suffering from depression sees a spring in his dream,
it means relief from his difficulties, repayment of his debts, recovering from his
illness, or repentance from his sins. A spring of sweet water in a dream also
means collecting one’s profits or rents. If one sees a rivulet carrying pure and
sweet water to his house in a dream, it means profits, easy life and blessings that
will be driven to him. (Also see Rivulet; Spring)

Hunter
In a dream, a hunter represents a philanderer, a womanizer who rounds
women, or a pimp. If one sees himself befriending a hunter, or if he helps him,
and if the hunter is pursuing what is lawful to kill for food, one’s dream then
connotes personal advantages. If the hunt is after an animal which is unlawful
for food, then the dream means sufferings. Hunting a lion in a dream means
acquiring great power through deception. Hunting sparrows, hawks, or falcons
in a dream also means gaining power. Hunting birds or pigeons in a dream
represents a tricky merchant. Hunting beasts in a dream means cheating
travellers. Fishing means womanizing. A beast hunter in a dream represents

Money exchanger
In a dream, a money exchanger represents knowledge, poetry,
speaking the right words, richness after poverty, a school, the fellowship of a
wise man, or a scale. In a dream, a money exchanger also could represent
someone who has knowledge, though no one benefit from what he knows except
in mundane matters. His work relates to scientific writings, scientific argu¬
ments, dispute of authority, or questions and answers. Perhaps his only
balance or criterion is his own judgment. His balance represents his tongue and
ears. His weights are his only instrument for justice and judgment. His
measuring pennies are his fights with people. A money exchanger in a dream
also represents a religious doctor or a scholar who takes religious questions and
interprets their definitions. He also could be a dream interpreter who measures
everything he takes in and gives an appropriate answer. He takes a pearl
necklace for a price and gives words in return, or he takes scattered words and
gives a beautiful pearl necklace in exchange. If one who is experiencing
difficulties in wakefulness changes some money in a dream, it means that his
difficulties will diminish. If one buys gold coins and gives silver money in
exchange in a dream, it means reparation, financial obligations or liability.
Seeing a money exchanger in a dream also represents wealth, or quick richness
from suspicious sources, or he could represent an accountant, a bookkeeper, or
a ledger keeper.

Well
In a dream, a well inside one’s house means prosperity, riches, a wife,
business, a teacher, poverty, deception, fulfillment of one’s needs, travels, goals,
stinginess, generosity, or it could mean a servant. The structural condition of
each well in a dream has its own interpretation. A well in a dream also represent
a woman who has a loud laughter, or it could represent a pleasant and an in¬
spiring woman. If a woman sees a well in a dream, it means meeting a man of
good character. If one sees himself looking into a well in a dream, it means that
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
marriage. Falling into a well of muddy waters in a dream means that one may
become subject to the tyranny of an unjust ruler. If the water he falls into is clear
in the dream, it means that he will willingly work to serve a righteous man and
for a nominal wage. Falling into a well in a dream also means demotion, or it
could mean travels. Sitting at the edge of a well in a dream means dealing with
a deceiving person. A collapsed well in a dream represents a dying woman.
Reaching a well which is dug for the general public to draw from its water means
getting relief after suffering from difficulties. Finding a well adjacent to a
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,
or it could mean circumcision. Digging a well in a dream also represents a crafty
and an artful deceiver.

Building
The element of a good building in a dream represents love, affection,
unity, progeny, prosperity, a garment of honor, and girls in one’s family. A
strong edifice means strength and firmness. It also means support, help and a
long life. Raising a new edifice in a dream represents either personal or
collective material benefits in this world. If one sees himself building an edifice
in a dream, it means having intercourse with his spouse. If one builds a church,
it defines him as Christian. If he builds a mosque, it defines him as Muslim. If
a man of knowledge sees himself building a mosque as an offering to please God
Almighty in a dream, it means that he will compile a study from which others
will benefit or that people will seek his advice in religious matters or inter¬
pretations. If a king, or a ruler sees himself building a mosque as an offering for
God’s pleasure in a dream, it means that he will rule his subjects with justice,
command what is lawful and forbid what is unlawful. If he builds a school, it
shows him to be a man of knowledge. If he builds a hospice in a dream, it means
that he is an ascetic. If a sick person sees himself building a house in a dream,
it means that he will recover from his illness and enjoy good health. Seeing
buildings in a dream explains one’s determination, it also means one’s wants for
himself when he rejoices at finding something suitable for status. If one sees his
house bigger than it is in reality in a dream, it means expansion in one’s material
resources. If it grows beyond the normal norms in a dream, it means anxiety,
or a delegation that hastens to enter that house without permission, announcing
a calamity, or it could mean that a wedding will take place in that house.
Building a house in a dream also means extending one’s connections, strengthening
one’s relationship with his kin, friends, or if the person in question is a general
in the army, or a leader, then it means building a strong army. Building a house
in a dream also means regaining power, rejoicing or success in one’s business,
all of which are relative to the thickness of its walls. On the other hand,
demolishing one’s house in a dream means disagreement, disintegration or
separation of one’s family, relatives, friends, associates or dissolution of one’s
army. If one sees himself working for some people to renovate an old building
in a dream, it means correcting the norms of conduct in that community or
reviving old traditions. For example if one sees himself reconstructing the house
of Pharaoh in a dream, it means that he is reviving or reestablishing Pharaoh’s
system of government, or adopting its principals. Erecting a foundation for a
building, then completing its structure in a dream means seeking knowledge,
wisdom or leadership. Building a house in a different county, town or locality
in a dream means a marriage with a woman from that neighborhood. Building
an edifice from ceramic in a dream means decorating oneself. If the building is
from clay in the dream, it means lawful earnings. If one engraves pictures or
forms thereon in the dream, it means acquiring knowledge, learning a new craft,
a leading position in the government which involves partying, alcohol and
mingling with what is unlawful. Building an edifice from plaster or backed
bricks encrusted with pictures or forms in a dream means engaging in an
unlawful or a deceitful act. Building a house in a dream and strengthening its
walls, means to complete the father’s traditions, and to continue working in his
trade. (Also see Builder)
