Back

represents what people hold for him of praises or blame, acceptance or rejection,

human being in a dream also means following his tracks or practices. If a

ings of one’s house, the outskirts of a town, the outer display of one’s religion
or his school of thought. A broken back in a dream means fear, distress and
sorrow. If one sees his rear side dark in color, black or red in a dream, it means
that he may suffer from physical abuse and beating during a fight. Seeing one’s
own back in a dream also could mean buying new clothing, or it could mean
feeling strong because of one’s knowledge, his son, power, political connections,
wealth or property. Seeing one’s back in a dream also could mean to repudiate

Flint stone
(Fire stone; Hard; Siliceous rock; Steel) In a dream, a flint stone means
searching for something that could bring profits or hoping for something to
happen, and both will take place. If one sees himself striking a flint stone with
a piece of steel to produce fire for cooking or for light, and if he sees the sparks
coming from them in a dream, it means that he will take advantage of his
friendship with someone in authority who is rock hearted to help him overcome
his poverty and to make his life more manageable. The flint stone in a dream

sparks from them in his dream, it means that he will witness an awesome fight
between two rock hearted and cruel people. Striking a flint stone in a dream also
means marriage of an unwed person. If a woman sees herself striking a flint
stone with a piece of steel, and if she can produce sparks in the dream, it means
that she will beget a son. If a spark starts a fire in the dream, it means that one’s

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,

for a wife. If a suitable person sees himself being a preacher in a dream, it means
that he will be appointed to manage a sensitive position of authority. If one sees
himself delivering a sermon (Kh utha) in accordance with the prescribed method
and prophetic traditions in a dream, it means that he will be helped at doing his
work. If he wears a white garment instead of a black one when delivering his
sermon in the dream, it means that he will rise in station and that his earnings
will increase. If one sees himself sitting down rather than standing up when
delivering his sermon in a dream, it means that he will preside over his
companions. If one sees himself sitting on the pulpit rather than standing up
and delivering his sermon in a dream, this maybe interpreted as afflictions and
disgrace. If an unqualified person sees himself delivering a sermon during the
pilgrimage season in a dream, in this case his dream may refer to someone in
his company who will do so, or it may mean that he will suffer from an illness
or a mishap. If he delivers a sermon and people hearken to his words in the
dream, it means that he will become a respected and obeyed guardian or leader.
If he does not finish his sermon in the dream, it means that his guardianship

such a day in a dream, it means that one will benefit from his neighbor, or receive
his help, or find a helper in a friend in times of difficulty. If one sees his own son
interceding on his behalf in a dream, it means that he will benefit from him or

Bathhouse
(Sauna; Steam room; Sweat room; Rest room) Washing one’s dirt with
hot water in a dream brings benefits. If one builds a bathhouse in his dream,
it means committing a sin or searching for a woman to partake in it, then
suffering its consequence. If the bathhouse is heated and the water is lukewarm
in the dream, it represents his family’s compassion toward him, trying to help
him out of his breach. If the bathhouse is cold and if its water is cold in the dream,
it means that his family has ostracized or banished him. If one witness the hot
water pipes breaking, whereby he could not control the flow of water in the
dream, it means that someone will betray him with his wife, though he will keep
trying to control the situation, but to no avail. A water leak from the boiler that
flows through the floors of the bathing quarters in a dream means incurring the
anger of one’s wife. Entering a bathhouse in a dream means suffering from a
fever. Drinking hot water directly from the boiler in a dream means sickness,
stress, depression and a scare from evil spirits. If one sees himself drinking cold
refreshing water from the regular water tab in a dream, it means comfort and

and takes a carriage back home in his dream, it means that he will shortly die
and the elements of his dream represent his washing, shrouding, coffin and
funeral. The element of a bathhouse in a dream also represent a library,
knowledge, guard’s post, house of worship, a mosque, a church, idol worship, a

If he succeeds at lifting it in the dream, it means that he will win his battle.
Otherwise, it could mean that he will lose it. If one sees stones hitting him, or
falling over his head in a dream, it means that his superior will delegate heavy
responsibilities to him, compel him to do a personal favor, depend on him or
impose a service on him. In this case, it means that one’s advice will have effect
and his opinion will be respected. Throwing stones in every direction from a high
altitude in a dream means being unjust toward others, or it could mean being
in a position of strength. If one sees women throwing stones at him using a
slingshot in a dream, it means sorcery and a bad spell. If a poor person sees
himself hitting a rock with a staff to split it, and suddenly water gushes forth
from it in the dream, it means that he will become rich. A rock in a dream also
represents hard working women who are patient and bearing their sufferings
with determination. A rock in a dream also means longevity, construction,
forgetfulness, cattle, impudence, shamelessness, fornication, a dissolute life,
immorality, or heartlessness. Seeing a town scattered with rocks in a dream also

lasting one. If it denotes one’s wife, then it means that she is patient and content.
A rock in a dream also represents a threshold, a house, or a statue. Seeing a
mountain of rocks in a dream represents heartless, brutal and cruel men, or it

of the Arabian peninsula. Seeing the sacred Black Stone in a dream is perhaps
an indication of going to perform one’s pilgrimage. If one sees himself cutting
into the Black Stone in a dream, it means that he wants people to follow his
personal opinions. If he sees the pilgrims searching for the Black Stone but

he will find an intimate friend or a confidant to complete his intention. If one
is expecting news from an associate or if someone in a different land sees a dream
interpreter in his dream, it means that he will receive the desired news. A dream
interpreter in a dream also represents knowledge of sings, deciphering mes¬
sages, analyzing substances, a tracer, a religious scholar, a lawyer, a good
advisor, a compassionate friend, a judge or a physician. A dream interpreter in
a dream also represents someone who does not keep a secret or someone who
brings people both happy or sad news. In a dream, he is also a preacher, an
advisor, one who balances things, a money changer, a garment cleaner, an
undertaker, a barber, a comedian, a news broadcaster or someone who searches
for people’s faults. Seeing oneself as a dream interpreter in a dream, and if one
qualifies to sit on the bench, it means that he will become a judge. If he is seeking
knowledge, he will acquire it. If he is seeking to become a physician, he will
become one. Otherwise, he might become a money changer, a banker or any of
the earlier mentioned trades. Telling a dream interpreted a dream in one’s
dream, and if the explanation agrees with the common wisdom and religious
norms of the Holy Quran and the traditions of God’s Prophet, upon whom be
peace, then whatever one is told in his dream is true. If one does not understand
the explanation of the dream interpreter in his dream, then he might need to
find a qualified interpreter in wakefulness to satisfy his needs. (Also see As¬

debts and still borrow more money to pay for his daily expenses. If one sees his
straight hair frizzed or curled in a dream, it means that he will be honored, and

than usual in a dream, it means that money belonging to someone for whom he
