Khimar
(A piece of fabric worn by some women as part of their headdress; To
conceal one’s face; Attire; Cap; Garb; Mantle; Mantilla; Veil) In a dream, a
khimar represents a husband, protection or an ornament. The extent of its size
shows the man’s prosperity. Its finesse connotes clarity and the color white
represents honor and dignity. If a woman sees herself wearing a mantilla in a
dream, it means maliciousness, a bad omen, or rancor and falsehood of female
companions that might cause difficulties, or separate between a husband and
a wife. If the khimar is made of black torn fabric in the dream, it means poverty
of one’s husband, or his being natural, or unsophisticated. Damage to one’s veil
in a dream means difficulties affecting one’s marriage, loss of business or a
calamity caused by a guardian, a father or a brother. If a man sees himself
wearing a mask in a dream, it means that he will commit adultery with his
servant. If a woman sees herself removing her veil in public in a dream, it means
that she will be tried with a calamity that will take away her sense of shame.
If she loses her khimar in the dream, it means that she may lose her husband.
If she finds it again in the dream, it means that her husband will return to her.
In a dream, a khimar also represents one’s religion. (Also see Veil; Yashmak)

(A professional craftsman who works at separating seeds from
cotton.) In a dream, a cotton ginner represents a man of knowledge or a judge

Sexual intercourse
(Adultery; Coitus; Fornication; Hugging; Instinct; Lesbian;
Molesting; Sexual drive; Sleeping together, Sodomy; Tribadism) If a man sees
himself having sexual intercourse with another man in a dream, it means that
both of them have lost their moral dedication, that have become aimless, turned
stingy toward their own dependents and generous toward others. It also means
loss of one’s capital, or divorcing one’s wife. If a poor person sees such a dream,
it means that he will fall sick, or attract an incurable disease. To have sexual
intercourse with a male in a dream also means falling into sin, committing the
unlawful, or engaging in sexual intercourse with a female member of one’s own
family, a blood relation, or a consanguineous person whom one is forbidden to
marry. Molesting a child in a dream means suffering from a great affliction.
Fornication with a young servant in a dream means suffering from continuous
stress and a lasting depression. Sleeping with a beautiful woman one recognizes
in his dream means profits. Sleeping with an ugly looking old woman in a dream
means the opposite. Having sexual intercourse with an unknown woman in a
dream represents the type of interactions and dealings one fosters with people
in general. Accordingly, and depending on the condition of the woman one is
sleeping with in a dream, one’s actions will substantiate. Sleeping with someone’s
wife in a dream means engaging in a profitable business with the husband. If
a sick person sees himself having sexual intercourse with his mother in a dream,
it means his death, for the mother here represent the earth. If a woman sees
herself engaging in tribadism, or a lesbian relationship with another woman she
knows in a dream, it means that she will confide her personal life to her, or
divulge all her secrets, become her intimate friend or a fan, shares opinions with
her and emulate her actions and look in public. If she does not know that woman
in the dream, it means that she will indulge in sin. If a married woman sees
herself engaging in tribadism with another woman in a dream, it means that
she will separate from her husband or become a widow. Engaging in sexual
intercourse with a deceased person, be it a man or a woman in a dream means
one’s own death, unless if one is travelling, then it could mean visiting that
country where the deceased person is buried. Any sexual intercourse in a dream
that culminates in ejecting semen and necessitates a complete ritual ablution
in wakefulness represents disturbed dreams, or engaging in a forbidden sexual
intercourse from the anus, or it could represent wet dreams. Having sexual
intercourse in a dream also signifies paying one’s debts, or it could mean relief
from pressures. Having sexual intercourse with a prostitute in a dream means
love for the world, or it could mean profits. Having sexual intercourse with one’s
wife in a dream means success in one’s trade. Having sexual intercourse with
a heavenly woman in a dream means religious and spiritual attainment. (Also
see Anus; Semen; Pleasure; Sodomy; Tears; Vagina)

(Blade) A pencil sharpener in a dream represents a good son
who is envied by people. Seeing a pencil sharpener in a dream means that one
will be gifted with such a beautiful son. In a dream, a pencil sharpener also
represents a writer or an author. If one sees himself holding a pencil sharpener
in a dream, it means reconciliation with a woman with whom he has been
separated for sometime.

Sieve
(Bolter; Colander; Filter; Separate; Sift; Sort; Strainer) In a dream, a sieve
represents knowledge, discerning, honor, rank and discriminating between
truth and false. A sieve in a dream is like a detector of true banknotes from
counterfeit, a person who chooses his words, a choosy person of the type of work
he does, or a discriminating buyer, a pious person, or it could represent a comb.
If a sieve is given as a collateral, or as a promissory note in a dream, it means
that the depositor will flunk his promise, for a sieve does not retain water. (Also
see Bolter; Strainer)

keep a promise, a minter, one who separates good from evil, a just judge who
distinguishes between good and evil, an assiduous craftsman or a dream
interpreter who distinguishes between true dreams and confused ones, a seer,

Muhammad
(God’s Prophet Muhammad, blessings and peace be upon him; The
Seal of the prophets; The last Messenger) It is related that God’s Messenger,
upon whom be peace, has said: “One who sees me in a dream will see me in his
wakefulness, for Satan cannot impersonate me. ”He also has said: “One who sees
me in a dream, it is as if he has truly seen me, for Satan cannot impersonate me. ”
He also has said: “One who sees me in a dream will not enter the fire of hell. ”
Muslim theologians and scholars differ in opinion about the meaning of seeing
God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream. Imam Ibn Seerin used to ask someone who
tells of such a dream to describe the Prophet, upon whom be peace. If any of the
details did not fit his description, Ibn Seerin’s reply was: “You have not seen
him.” Asim Bin Kulayb once said: “I related to Ibn Abbas, God bless his soul and
that of his father, that I saw God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream. Ibn Abbas replied:
“Describe him to me.” Asim Bin Kulayb added: “I described him as resembling
Al-Hassan son of‘Ali, upon both of them be peace.” Ibn Abbas replied: “Indeed
you have seen him.” Ibn ‘Arabi once explained that the essence of seeing God’s
Prophet (uwbp) is cognizance of his presence and understanding the reality of
his character and example. Thus, recognizing the presence of the blessed being
is as affirmation of the truth, while seeing the physical form represents his
example and attributes, for being earthly does not change the essence of
prophethood. When God’s Prophet (uwbp) said: “He will see me in wakefulness,”
it means: ‘Expounding upon what he saw,’ for what one sees in such a dream is
the truth which resides in the realms of the unseen. In the second saying, when
God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, said: “It is as if he has truly seen me,” it
means that if one had seen him during the time of delivering God’s massage, the
example will be the same. Thus, the first saying signifies what is real and true
while the second saying implies the physical reality and its example. If one sees
God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, coming toward him in a dream, it means
blessings and benefits, and if one sees God’s prophet (uwbp) turning away from
him in a dream, it means the opposite. Al-Qadi ‘Iyad, God bless his soul, in¬
terpreted the words of God’s Prophet (uwbp) in his saying: “Has truly seen me,"
to mean: “has truly seen my physical form,” that the blessed companions knew,
while seeing him in another form in a dream means that one’s dream connotes
personal interpretations. Following the explanation of Al-Qadi ‘Iyad, Imam Al-
Nawawi commented by saying: “This is a weak explanation. A stronger inter¬
pretation is to say that one who sees God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream has seen
him in reality however his resemblance may appear. Whether the resemblance
in the dream is known or not.” In a separate commentary, Shaikh Al-Baqlani
added: “What Al-Qadi ‘Iyad has said does not contradict what Imam Al-Nawawi
has said.” This is because the first dream does not require interpretation,
according to Al-QadI ‘Iyad. In the second type of dream, that is discussed in
Imam Al-Nawawi’s comments, one’s dream does require interpretation or
analysis. This is to mean that since no Satan can impersonate God’s Prophet
(uwbp), then whatever appearance he displays in one’s dream is true. The
meaning of God’s prophet’s saying: “For Satan cannot impersonate me, ” implies
that since God’s guardianship (Isma ) is inviolable, and since God’s Prophet,
upon whom be peace, is sacrosanct, then as he was protected during the time
of delivering God’s message to humanity, he is still protected by the same
guardianship after God Almighty took him back to Himself. Thus, whoever sees
God’s Prophet (uwbp) in any appearance in a dream, it is as if has seen him in
reality, regardless whether one sees him as a young man, or at the time of
delivering his message, or as an old person. If one sees him looking old in a
dream, it means peace. If one sees him looking young in a dream, it means war.
If one sees him smiling in a dream, it means that one is truly emulating his
traditions. Seeing God’s Prophet (uwbp) in his known and recognized appear¬
ance in a dream means that the one seeing the dream is a pious person, that his
integrity is inviolable, and that his success is unquestionable. Seeing him
(uwbp) in a dream frowning represents the ill state of the one seeing the dream.
Ibn Abi Jumrah once said: “Seeing Him (uwbp) in a beautiful appearance
denotes the good religious standing of the person seeing the dream. Seeing him
with some disfeatures in a dream, a deficiency or distortion in one’s application
of his religious duties, for God’s Prophet (uwbp) is like a mirror that portrays
the one standing before it.” In this sense, the person seeing the dream can
recognize his own state. This interpretation is also given by Ibn Hajar Al-Hutaymi,
God bless his soul. Like that, in the book of ‘Sharh al-Shama-il’ of Imam Al-
Tirmithi, it is also stated that Satan cannot impersonate God Almighty, His
signs, prophets or angels. If someone suffering from distress sees God’s Prophet
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that his difficulties will be removed. If a prisoner
sees him in a dream, it means that he will be released form prison. If one is living
at a time of economic chaos, and if high prices are exploiting the people of the
land, or if injustice is tyrannizing everyone, then seeing God’s Prophet, upon
whom be peace, in a dream represents an end to such adversities. Seeing him
in his beautiful, radiant and impeccable appearance as best described by his
companions in a dream means glad tidings of attaining a successful conclusion
to one’s life in this world and in the hereafter. The state and clarity of one’s heart
and how well polished is his own mirror determines in what appearance he may
see him, upon whom be peace. If God’s Prophet (uwbp) comes toward someone
in a dream, or leads him in prayers, or if one sees himself accompanying him
on the road, or if one eats something sweet from his blessed hand, or receives
a cloak, or a suitable shirt, or if God’s Prophet promises him something, or prays
for him, then if the one seeing the dream qualifies for leadership, and if he is
a righteous and a just man who commands what is good and forbids what is evil,
and if he is learned and practices what he knows, and if he is a pious worshipper
and a devout Muslim, he will then attain the station and company of the blessed
ones. If the one who sees the dream is a disobedient servant of God Almighty,
it means that he will repent for his sins and return to his Lord. If he is living
in heedlessness, it means that he will be guided. Perhaps, he might attain his
goals in acquiring knowledge, or learn how to reconstruct his innermost being
to befit a human being who is grateful to his Lord. If one is fearing oppression,
persecution, or loss of his property and wealth sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it
means putting an end to such fears, for he is the best of intercessors to restore
anyone before God Almighty. If one who follows innovations sees God’s Prophet
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that he should fear God Almighty, heed to His
warnings and correct himself and particularly if he sees Him (uwbp) walking
away from him, or turning his back to him. Seeing God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a
dream also means receiving glad tidings and happy news, or it could signify
justice, establishing the truth, fulfillment of a promise, reaching a high rank
among the members of one’s family, or perhaps it could mean that one may suffer
from their envy and jealousy, or leave his homeland and migrate to another
country, or it could mean that he may lose his parents and become an orphan.
Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also could mean seeing miraculous events
( Karamat ), for his companions witnessed and testified to a deer greeting him,
a camel who kissed his foot, the broiled leg of mutton talking to him, trees
moving to give him cover, pebbles glorifying God’s praises in his hand, among
countless miracles, including his Nocturnal Journey and ascension ( Miraj ) to
the heavens to meet his Lord. If an ophthalmologist sees him in a dream, it
means that he will acquire great expertise in his field and become renowned in
the land, for God’s prophet upon whom be peace, did return the eye of his
companion Qutadah to its place and made his sight sharper than it was by God’s
leave, after Qutadah had lost his eye during one of the battles with the
unbelievers. If a traveller in the desert sees God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream,
or if there is drought somewhere, it means that rain will fall and springs will
gush forth, as water gushed from between his blessed fingers when he placed
his blessed hand over a half filled cup to quench the thirst of an entire army.
If calamities, starvation and drought has befallen a land and someone sees Him
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that such calamities will be lifted and life will return
to normal in that place. If a woman sees him in a dream, it means that she will
reach a high spiritual station, honor, righteousness, chastity, trustworthiness
and perhaps be given a blessed progeny, or if she is wealthy, it means that she
will spend her wealth on God’s path. Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also means
facing adversities, bearing patience and suffering from one’s enemy. If an
orphan sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it means that he will reach an exalted
station and the same goes if a foreigner sees him in his dream. If a physician
sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it means that people will benefit from his medicine.
Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also means victory over one’s enemy, or consolidating
and paying one’s debts, or recovering from an illness, or attending a pilgrimage
to God’s House in Mecca, or triumphing over one’s trials, or cessation of one’s
adversities, or fertility of a barren land, or the pregnancy of a barren woman.
If a visitor to his mosque sees himself in a dream coming before God’s Prophet
(uwbp) and finds him standing up, it denotes one’s correct religious standing,
and it means that he will have commanding authority over the Imam of his time.
If one finds him (uwbp) deceased in the dream, it means that a noble person from
the family of the person seeing the dream will shortly die. If one sees the funeral
of God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream, it means that a calamity will befall that
country. Following his funeral procession up to his grave (uwbp) in a dream
means that the person seeing the dream will yield to innovations. Visiting his
grave (uwbp) in a dream means receiving a great treasure. If one sees himself
as the son of God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream, and even if one is not one of his
descendents, it denotes one’s sincerity, true faith and certitude. Seeing God’s
Prophet (uwbp) by one person does not exclude the remainder of the believers,
but the blessings encompass all of them. Receiving something from him (uwbp)
such as food or a drink in a dream means benefits and profits. If one receives
food which substance connotes negative circumstances, such as a melon or the
like elements in a dream, it means that one will escape from a great danger,
though he will toil and suffer from hardships during his trials. If one sees that
one of the limbs that belong to God’s Prophet (uwbp) has become his own in a
dream, it means that he is following innovation and making changes in the laws
God’s Prophet (uwbp) brought to humankind. If one sees himself in a dream
embodying the form of God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, or wearing one of
his garments, or receives his ring, or sword, then if the person is seeking to
govern, he will attain that and the people will accept his leadership. If one is
suffering from persecution, or humiliation in the land, then seeing God’s
Prophet (uwbp) standing in a dream means that God Almighty will grant him
victory and make him rise above his enemies. If one is poor, his needs will be
satisfied, or if he is unmarried, he will get married. If one sees him (uwbp) in
a ruined place in a dream, it means that such a place will be rebuilt. If one enters
a room and finds him (uwbp) sitting there in a dream, it means that a miraculous
sign, or a major event will take place in such a locality. If one sees him (uwbp)
making the call to prayers in a dream, it means that prosperity will spread in
that place. If one sees him establishing the prayers ( Iqamah ) in a dream, it
means that the Muslims will reunite and dispel their differences. If one sees him
(uwbp) placing kohl over his eyelids in a dream, it means that he will find safety
and correct his religious stand, or it could mean that one will study and become
a scholar in the field of the prophetic sayings ( Ak&dith ). If a pregnant woman
sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it means that she will beget a son. If one sees him
(uwbp) having a black beard with no gray hair in it in a dream, it will bring
happiness, joy and prosperity to one’s life. If God’s Prophet (uwbp) is seen as an
old man in a dream, it means strength in one’s life and victory over one’s enemy.
Seeing him (uwbp) in his most exalted state in a dream means that the Imam,
or the ruler of the country will rise in station and that his authority will expand.
If one sees his blessed neck wide, it means that the Imam is holding firmly to
his trust. If one sees him (uwbp) having a large chest in a dream, it means that
the Imam or the ruler of the country is generous toward his subjects. If one sees
his blessed stomach (uwbp) empty in a dream, it means that the treasury of the
country is empty. If one sees his right hand closed in a dream, it means that the
Imam or the ruler of the country does not pay his employees, or distribute the
collected alms tax. If one sees his blessed right hand (uwbp) open in a dream,
it denotes the generosity of the ruler and his compliance with the distribution
of charities and alms tax as prescribed in God’s book. If his hands are locked
together in a dream, it means complications in the life of the Imam, or the ruler
of the country. The same will affect the life of the person seeing the dream,
including suffering from distress and adversities. If one sees his blessed leg
beautiful and hairy in a dream, it means that one’s clan will become stronger,
and his tribe will grow. If one sees the blessed thighs of God’s Prophet tall in
a dream, it denotes longevity of the Imam or the ruler of the country. If one sees
him (uwbp) standing in the midst of soldiers and everyone is laughing and joking
in a dream, it means that the Muslim army will be defeated and humiliated in
a war. If he is seen with a small army that is ill equipped and everyone is looking
down in the dream, it means that the Muslim army will triumph in that year.
If one sees him (uwbp) combing his blessed hair and beard in a dream, It means
that one’s distress and adversities will be dispelled. Seeing him (uwbp) in his
own mosque, or in any mosque, or in his usual place in a dream it means gaining
power and honor. If one sees him standing in the midst of his companions
delivering a revelation in a dream, it means that one will acquire a greater
knowledge, wisdom and spiritual understanding. Seeing the grave of God’s
Prophet (uwbp) in a dream means prosperity and profits for a merchant, or the
release of a prisoner from his jail. Seeingoneself in a dream as the father of God’s
Prophet (uwbp) means that one’s faith will diminish and his certitude will
weaken. If a woman sees herself in a dream as one of the wives of God’s Prophet
(uwbp), it represents her growing faith. If one sees him (uwbp) looking into one’s
affairs in a dream, it means that God’s Prophet (uwbp) is admonishing the one
seeing the dream and commanding him to render his wife her due rights. To
walk behind him (uwbp) in a dream means following his ( Sunnah ) traditions in
wakefulness. To eat with him (uwbp) in a dream means that one is commanded
to pay the annual alms tax ( Islamic law) due over one’s money making assets,
or liquid assets, gold, silver, jewelry, savings, etcetera, excepting one’s home or
vehicle. If one sees God’s Prophet (uwbp) eating alone in a dream, it means that
the one seeing the dream refuses to give charities and disdains to help those who
ask for his help. In this sense, it is as if God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, is
commanding the person to give charities and to help the needy. If one sees him
(uwbp) bare footed in a dream, it means that one has neglected to do his regular
prayers. To see him (uwbp) and to shake hands with him in a dream means that
one is truly his follower. If one sees his blood mixed with that of God’s Prophet
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that one will marry a woman from among his
descendents, or that one will marry the daughter of a great religious scholar.
If God’s Prophet (uwbp) gives someone some type of greens or herbs in a dream,
it means that one will escape from a great danger. If he (uwbp) gives him
something fresh or honey in the dream, it means that one will learn the Holy
Quran and acquire a great knowledge and wisdom according to the amount he
receives in his dream. If one returns the gift to God’s Prophet (uwbp) it means
that he will follow innovation. To see him (uwbp) delivering a sermon in a dream
means that he is commanding people to do good and to eschew evil. If one sees
the color of his skin (uwbp) tan in a dream, it means that one will think about
repenting from his sins and abstain from young people’s ignorance. If the color
of his skin is white in the dream, it means that one will repent for his sins and
turn to God Almighty for acceptance. If he (uwbp) reprimands someone in a
dream, it means that one must refrain from innovation and follow the prophetic
traditions. If one finds that God’s Prophet (uwbp) has died in a specific location
in a dream, it means that the person seeing the dream will die in that same place
and God knows best. (Also see Visiting holy sites)

Child
(Little boy) In a dream, a child carried in one’s arms means responsibility,
distress and difficulties. A teenage child represents glad tidings or dispelling
one’s worries. If one sees a beautiful looking teenage child entering a town or
descending from the skies or appearing from beneath the ground in a dream, it
means that the glad tidings will take effect shortly. Seeing a mature child in a
dream means power and superiority. If one sees himself as a child learning in
school in a dream, it means that he will repent of a common sin he is used to
commit. If one sees one of the renowned people of knowledge sitting in a
kindergarten and learning along with other children in a dream, it means that
he will shift to ignorance, lose his rank, or that financial changes will affect his
living conditions. If one sees himself receiving instructions like a child in a
dream, it means that he will receive an inheritance from his mother. If one sees
himself as a newborn child in a dream, it means that he will become wealthy
and prosper. If a young boy sees himself in a dream as a child, it has a negative
meaning. If a sick person sees himself as a child in a dream, it means his death.
If one sees himself as a child being reprimanded in a dream, it means that he
will be conquered. In a dream, if one looks in a mirror and sees his face to be
that of a child, and if his wife is pregnant, it means that she will beget a son who
will look like his father. Carrying a baby child in a dream means distress and
burdens. A child in a dream represents a weak enemy who sometime shows
friendliness and at other times demonstrates his enmity. If one sees that his wife
has just delivered children who are playing around him in a dream, it means
distress or misfortune and the consequences could be either good or bad.
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.

Eve
(Mother of humankind, may God’s peace be with her.) In a dream, Eve
represents prosperity, blessings, a good harvest, a good yield, progeny, profits
from a business in textile, farming, smithcraft or similar industries. Seeing
Adam and Eve in a dream means being demoted from a station and a place of
honor to a lower rank to be raised again after repenting from one’s sin. Seeing
Eve in a dream also indicates pitfalls, sins, being subject to jealousy and
malicious fraud, or trouble with one’s neighbors. Seeing Adam and Eve in a
dream also means hardships caused by one’s wife or children, consent for sexual
intercourse, repentance or regret for one’s past. If a woman sees Eve in her
dream, it means that she will create hardships for her husband because of her
association with someone who is unsuitable for her friendship. It also means
that a major adversity will befall her, since Eve was the first to experience
female menstrual period and the pain of childbirth. It may also mean suffering
from the burden of pregnancy, labor and the pangs of giving birth. Seeing Eve
in a dream also could mean givingbirth to both righteous as well as evil children.
If the woman in the dream is separated from her husband, it may mean
re turning to her conjugal life or earning lawful income for her own needs. It also
could mean that someone from her progeny may commit murder or die as a
martyr. If a man sees Eve in a dream, it means that he may be deceived by a
woman or that he hearkens exclusively to the advice of his wife, or if he follows
a woman’s advice, it means that he will err and lose his leadership. If one sees
Eve with her beautiful countenance in a dream, then she represents his mother,
for Eve is the mother of humankind. Should he then be under the pangs of
adversities, it means that he will be saved.

Tears
(Pearls) In a dream, cold tears mean happiness while warm tears mean
sadness. Running tears over one’s cheeks without crying in a dream mean
slander that carries weight. Guarded tears in someone’s eyes that do not flow
over his cheeks in a dream mean storing illegal money, or disguising the
unlawful source of one’s income which one’s adversaries will eventually unveil
or expose. If such tears are finally shed in the dream, they mean that one will
willingly spend such money, or get rid of it to conceal his act. If one sees tears
running from his right eye and entering his left eye in the dream, it means that
his son and daughter may engage in sexual intercourse, and he must immediately
separate between their rooms, and teach them about the lawful and the
unlawful. Tears which come during yawning in a dream signify payment of an
unjust fine. Seeing tears during the daylight time, or under the sun, or in front
of a fire in a dream means business losses caused by one of these three elements.
Tears in a dream also signify loneliness, leaving one’s homeland, or yearning to
see one’s beloved, or they may represent pearls. (Also see Pearl)

Swallow
(zoo/. Starling) A swallow in a dream represents money, a blessed man,
a blessed woman, or an intelligent and a learned boy. Catching a swallow in a
dream means seizing what is unlawful for one to take. A house filled with
swallows in the dream represents lawful earnings. A swallow in a dream is also
interpreted to represent a man of good character, and who is pious and amicable.
Helping a swallow in a dream means that one may assist a kind person in his
life. Catching a swallow in a dream also means being unjust toward one’s wife.
Eating a swallow in a dream represents a fight. If one sees swallows flying away
from his house in a dream, it means that his wife or a relative will abandon him,
or separate from him and travel away from that town. In general, swallows and
starlings in a dream represent people who are financially comfortable, or they
could represent death, grief, or good deeds, movement, chanting, benevolence,
or weddings. Seeing a swallow in a dream also may mean marriage to a

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
