Cistern
In a dream, a water cistern represents a pouch, a safe, a box, a coffer, a
partner, one’s wife, a son, or knowing people’s personal secrets. If the oil cistern
is filled with water in the dream, it means stagnation of any of the above. If one
sees a water cistern filled with oil in a dream, then it means prosperity. The
cistern of a fellowship house, a khanakah or a mosque in a dream represents its
Imam or its supervising spiritual teacher or the caretaker and guard of the
property. If one sees the water cistern of the house sitting in an unsuitable place
in that house in a dream, it represents the spirit of a jinni who pursues such a
person or who may haunt his house. If one sees a well being used as a cistern
in his house in a dream, it denotes that the dwellers of that house are of the
middle class, or it could mean that the water of that house is salty or non-
potable. If one sees the cistern filled with butter or honey or milk in a dream,
it means that one’s wife is pregnant, or it could mean prosperity for that family.
If the family of such a house is thirsty in the dream, and if the cistern is filled
with other than water, then it means that they owe alms tax and must pay the
necessary charity on their assets, or it could mean that such a family has turned
its back to God’s path and preferred worldly gains instead, or that they have a
knowledge that they do not practice, or it could mean shortage of rain in that
locality that necessitates spending money on God’s path. A cistern in a dream
also could represent a protective shield or a pocket, one’s dignity, blessings or
attaining a respectable rank or dispelling difficulties. However, this interpre¬
tation can only apply for those who use a cistern or a similar water container
or a water dispenser and in their case, it also could mean peace and protection
from any fears. (See Urn)
