partnership means happiness, or it could mean exaggeration in one’s devotion
toward God Almighty, or it could mean going to extremes to attain business
success and prosperity in the world. If a poor person sees himself involved in a

it will come through, and that he will find a business partner. If one sees himself
in a business partnership with a known person in a dream, it means that they
deal justly and equitably with one another. If one’s partner in the dream is an
unknown old person, then he represents his grandfather and such a year will
be a prosperous business year for him. If one’s partner in the dream is a young
man, then he represents an enemy, or it could mean that his opponent will be
fair in dealing with him, though the person in the dream will remain suspicious
but cannot legally dissolve his partnership. Partnership in a dream also means
sincerity, loyalty, truthfulness and fulfilling one’s agreement.

Ship

a ship in a dream means escape from danger, overcoming adversities, recovering

experiencing adversities sees a ship or a boat anchored in a harbor in his dream,
it means that his adversities will be lifted shortly. If one sees himself pulling
it, or driving it on dry land in a dream, it means that he is a hypocrite or a pimp.
If he rides a ship along with righteous people in a dream, it means that he is
guided on the straight path and that his sins will be forgiven. If one reaches the
shore and leaves the boat in a dream, it means that he will live in safety and
happiness, and he will escape from the danger of his enemies. If one who is
dismissed from his work sees himself on a boat in a dream, it means that he will
be rehired to occupy the same office and regain his authority, or that he may take
a dangerous trip during which he may either die or escape from death. If one
thinks that the ship does not befit his class or rank in the dream, it means that
he will face danger. If one’s ship is drowning, and if another ship comes to its
rescue in the dream, it means that one will escape from a great danger to fall
into the hands of a strong person, or that he will escape from a danger, though
should he disobey its captain and abandon the second ship in his dream, it
means that he may disobey his leader and go astray. Recovering one’s ship from
the deep in a dream means regaining power. If the ship in one’s dream is
interpreted as power, it means that he will lose his power or authority. If the
ship is interpreted as burdens and difficulties, it means that he will overcome
them through prayers or giving charity, or taking a medicine if he is ill. If one’s
ship drown, and if he sees himself floating in the water holding to a panel or
debris from the ship in the dream, it means that he will face the wrath of
someone in authority. If he is holdings leadership position, it means that he may
lose it. If he is a merchant, it means that he may go bankrupt. If he still dies
from his trial in the dream, it means that he may be killed, and his death will
still be an escape from something he feared most. An empty ship in a dream
means business profits. Seeing a passenger ship transporting people in a dream
means safety. If the ship is floating still in the dream, it means imprisonment.

one is unwed, or a financial gift for one who works for a governor. If one sees
himself as a ship ebbing and stretching as the tide fall in the sea, then if the sea
calms in the dream, it means that he will receive a high ranking appointment,
leadership, authority and honor. If one sees a ship floating over a sea of blood
in a dream, it means adultery. If the ship sinks, and if some of its debris and
boards remain afloat in the dream, it may mean the death of one’s mother, for
one’s mother was once his ship. Buying a ship in a dream means getting married.
Carrying oars in a dream means knowledge. A flying ship in a dream means the
death of its rider. A flying ship in a dream also may represent another type of
vehicle, or it could mean a coffin or a funeral. If one dies inside a ship that has
sunk in a dream, it means that he will be saved from suffering in the hereafter,
and he will also escape from what he fears most in this world. If he finds a hole
in the ship in his dream, it means that he may escape from drowning. A ship in
a dream also represents a heavy built woman. In a dream, a ship also represents
the Bridge of Judgement {Sirat) that will be stretched on the Day of Resurrection
for the creation to cross into the land of the Grand Gathering. A ship in a dream
also represents salvation, avoiding ignorance, or overcoming temptation. If a
sick person sees himself riding in the morgue of a ship with dead people in a
dream, it means that he will escape from the trials of this world. If a healthy
person who is seeking knowledge does so in a dream, it means that he may meet
with a spiritual teacher to benefit from his knowledge and wisdom, and to escape
from ignorance. If an indebted person does so in his dream, it means that he will
repay his debts, while for a deprived person, he too will find plenitude and
acquire wealth from unexpected sources. If one sees his ship sailing to the shore,
then if it becomes amphibious, driving him on dry land in the dream, it means
that he will waiver in his faith and deviate from the path of truth to follow
innovations, hypocrisy and insolence. If he is not seeking knowledge, it means
that he will divorce his wife, then proceed to live with her in sin. If he is a
merchant, it means that his business will stagnate and he will seek unlawful

of a mountain in a dream, it means safety, or escape from a danger, or protection
from one’s enemy. If it sinks in the sea in the dream, it also means that he is
one of the dwellers of hell-fire. If the ship turns into iron in the dream, it means
longevity. Eating the wood of a ship in a dream means receiving a sizeable
inheritance, or it could mean eating forbidden meat. If one sees a ship talking
to him and soothing his understanding in a dream, it means that he will listen

God Almighty, forgiveness for one's sins, and it could mean that one will receive
spiritual guidance. One's abdomen in a dream also denotes his good conduct,
amiable character, blessed enterprises and protection from the evil of the
accursed Satan. If one sees a newborn son or daughter coming out of his
abdomen in a dream, it means that such a child will be born and will grow to
govern that household. As for one's livers in a dream, they represent knowledge, money or children. If a man of knowledge sees his livers flying away from
his body like birds in a dream, it means that he will forget his knowledge, or if
one has children, they may die, or perhaps the government may seize his
property even if he has nothing. If one sees himself eating his own livers in a
dream, it means earning his livelihood. If they are cooked in the dream, then

in the dream interpretation. One's anus in a dream means a pouch, a store, a
resting place, or a coffer. The knee represents one's capital or one's attendance
to his work and earning his livelihood. As for the legs, they too represent one's

woman, and a woman's leg represents a man. If one's leg turns into wood or iron in a dream, it means that he will fail to earn his livelihood.
One's feet represent his parents, his livelihood, a journey or his wealth. (See Feet; Foot).
If one foot is broken or cut off in a dream, it means either the death of a parent or loss of half of one's capital. If one's feet turn into iron or copper in a dream, it means

Spiritual gathering
(Admonition; Fellowship; Gathering; Meeting; Religious
meeting) If one who does not qualify to be a spiritual leader or a scholar sees
himself holding a religious gathering and admonishing people to do good and to
forbid evil in a dream, it means distress and an illness which he is praying hard
for it to be lifted by God’s leave. However, if he does speak wisdom during such
a spiritual gathering in his dream, it means praying hard to have one’s distress
and illness lifted by God’s leave. Consequently, and God willing, he will recover
from his illness and be able to dispel his adversities. His condition will change
from tightness to abundance. He will repay his debts and overcome his oppressors.
If one sees a spiritual gathering where God’s Name is glorified, the holy Quran
is read and wisdom is spoken in his dream, it means that such a place will be
established as a spiritual center or as a mosque. Such a place will also become
a center where spiritual leaders and governors will gather and speak. If love
songs of light nature are played during such a gathering in a dream, it means
that falsehood will overtake such a place. If one sees himself sitting in the center
stage, in the middle of learned people and religious scholars in a dream, it means
that he will receive a greater knowledge and honor in his life. A gathering that
involves a court case, or a marriage in a dream represents an unknown adversity
that will safely pass. Admonishing people in a public gathering in a dream
means that one’s command will be obeyed. Sitting in the center stage in a
spiritual gathering in a dream represents one’s station or rank, or it could
represent one’s wife, child, property, or personal secretary. Anything that
happens to such a gathering in the dream may reflect on any of them. (Also see
Fellowship; Gathering; Mosque)

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

knows in a dream, it means that she will confide her personal life to her, or

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

Ishaq
(Also known as John in Western traditions. God’s prophet Ishaq, son of the
prophet Jacob, upon both of them be peace.) In a dream, seeing him indicates
adversities and hardships. If one has a son who ran away in disobedience to his
father, and if he sees God’s prophet Ishaq in a dream, it means that he will
return to his home and be obedient again. This dream also indicates a surge of
glad tidings, peace and tranquility. Seeing Ishaq (uwbp) in a dream also means
suffering from persecution by the senators of one’s town, or from some of his
relatives, and finally God Almighty will come to his help, and grant him back
his integrity and honor. If one sees him in his best form and radiant beauty, it

Masjid
(arb. God’s House; Mosque; Place of worship) In Arabic, the word masjid
means a place of prostration, while the word Jami means a place of gathering.
A masjid or a mosque in a dream represents a scholar and its gates represent
men of knowledge and the guardians, or the attendants of God’s House. Building
a masjid in a dream means emulating the traditions of God’s Prophet, upon
whom be peace, fostering the unity of one’s family, or becoming a judge, should
one qualify for such an office. A masjid filled with people in a dream represents
a gnostic, a man of knowledge and wisdom, or a preacher who invites people
to his house, advises them, brings their hearts together, teaches them the
precepts of their religion and explains the wisdom behind the divine revelations.
Seeing a masjid being demolished in a dream means that such a gnostic, or
religious scholar and devout believer will die in that locality. In a dream, if the
roof of a masjid caves in, it means that one will indulge in an abominable action.
If one sees a stranger performing his prayers in a masjid in a dream, it means
that the Imam of that masjid will dies from a terminal illness. If one enters a
masjid in the company of a group of people, and if they dig a small hole for him
inside the masjid in the dream, it means that he will get married. If one’s house
becomes a masjid in a dream, it means that he will attain piety, purity of heart,
escetic detachment and an honor he will receive from his brethren. He will also
call upon them to follow what is true and to abstain from what is false. If a masjid
is transformed into a bathhouse in a dream, it means that a chaste person will
turn corrupt or become heedless. A masjid in a dream also represents a
marketplace or a business. If one has to climb up a staircase to reach the masjid
in a dream, then the masjid represents a thrifty person who does not like to
share what he has. If one has to climb down a staircase to reach the masjid in
a dream, it means that his needs will be satisfied. If a masjid in the city is moved
to a remote village in a dream, it means stagnation of one’s business, being
ostracized from one’s community, or it could mean legal complications related
to one’s inheritance. If a ruler builds a house for God Almighty or a masjid in
a dream, it means that he will be a just ruler and he will govern his subject by
the divine laws. If a religious scholar builds a masjid in a dream, it means that
he will author a book that will benefit others, or delivers a commentary on a
complex religious issue, or if he is wealthy, it means that he will pay the alms
tax due on his assets. Building a masjid in a dream also means getting married,
or conceiving a child who will grow to become a righteous and a knowledgeable
scholar, or if one is poor, it means that he will become rich. Otherwise, it means
that one will serve God’s House and fill it with invocations, supplications,
serving the interest of the community, leading the people to unity and love, and
teaching them to value obedience to God’s commands. Building a masjid in a
dream also could mean becoming a real estate agent, or repenting from one’s
sins, or receiving guidance on God’s path, or to die as a martyr, hence, what one
builds for God Almighty in a dream, represents his house in paradise. Such
interpretation applies if one builds a masjid following the proper procedures
and with lawfully earned money, and using proper materials. Otherwise,
building it with what is unlawful of money or materials in the dream, or
changing the direction of the prayer niche, etcetera, then one’s dream will carry
the opposite meaning. If one builds a masjid or a fellowship house in a dream,
it means that he will seek the path of knowledge and wisdom, or that he will
attend a pilgrimage during that same year, or establish a permanent business,
such as a hotel, a bathhouse or a shop, etcetera. Building the roof of a masjid
in a dream means taking care of orphans, or sponsoring homeless children.
Expanding a masjid in a dream means increase in one’s good deeds, repentance
from a sin, adopting good conduct, or being just. Seeing oneself inside a new
masjid one does not recognize in a dream means attending the pilgrimage to
God’s House in Mecca during that same year, or joining religious circles to learn
about one’s religion. If one’s shop becomes a masjid, or if the masjid becomes a
shop in the dream, it denotes lawful earnings, or it could mean mixing lawful
and unlawful earnings. A forsaken masjid or mosque in a dream means
intentionally ignoring the value of gnostics and religious scholars, or denying
the necessity to command what is good and to eschew what is evil. A forsaken
masjid in a dream also denotes the presence of ascetics who have renounced the
world and its people and care less about their material possessions. A known
mosque in a dream represents the city where it is erected. For instance, the Aqsa
mosque in a dream represents Jerusalem, the Sacred mosque represents Mecca,
the Prophet’s Mosque (uwbp) represents Medina, the Omayyad mosque represents
Damascus, Al-Azhar mosque represents Cairo and the Blue mosque represents
Istanbul, etcetera. A known mosque in a dream also could represent the
renowned scholars who live in that place, or the ruler of that country, or any
of his ministers. If one enters a mosque and immediately after crossing the
entrance gate, he prostrates himself to God Almighty in the dream, it means
that he will be given the opportunity to repent for his sins. If one comes to a
masjid and finds its doors locked, then if someone opens the door to him in a
dream, it means that he will help someone in paying his debt, then extol his good
virtues in public. If one enters a mosque riding on an animal in a dream, it means
that he will cut off his connection with his relatives, leave them behind and
forbid them to follow him. If one dies in a masjid in a dream, it means that he
will die as a true penitent. If the carpet or the straw mat of a mosque becomes
a shredded rag in the dream, it means that the community of that masjid is
divided and corrupt. Building a masjid in a dream also means overcoming one’s
enemy. Entering the Sacred Mosque in Mecca in a dream means arriving with
one’s bride to their new home and it could mean fulfillment of a promise, being
truthful, dispelling one’s fear and reaching the shore of safety. (Also see Minaret;
Minbar; Mosque)

Crossing an arched bridge that leads to the palace of a ruler in a dream means
receiving money, or it could mean getting married to a noble person. An
unknown bridge in a dream represents the world and particularly if it connects
the city with the cemetery. It also could represent a ship, or the Bridge of the
Day of Judgement, for it is the last hurdle before reaching paradise. If one
crosses an arched bridge in his dream, then it means that he will cross the abode
of this world into the abode of the hereafter and particularly if one meets
departed souls from the world or enters unknown places or sees uncommon
structures, or if a bird carries him by air, or if a beast swallows him, or if he falls
into a ditch or flies into the heavens in his dream, all of which also means
recovering from an illness or undertaking a long journey, or it could mean
returning home from a long journey. If on the other side of the bridge one ends
in a fertile farm, luscious fields, or meets with an old woman in his dream, it
means money, benefits and prosperity. If the other side of the bridge leads to
a mosque in the dream, it means that one will achieve his goal, fulfill his
intention or perform a pilgrimage to God’s House in Mecca. If one becomes a
bridge in a dream, it means that he will acquire extensive powers or becomes
an inspiration to others, or that people will come to need his authority and help.
Crossing a wooden bridge in a dream means meeting with a group of hypocrites.

Reins
(Bridle; Harness) In a dream, reins represent mastery of one’s craft, control
of his trade, or it could signify power and a strong financial standing. Reins in
a dream also represent a coachman, or the driver who never disobeys his master,
and who goes wherever he is told to go. Riding on a workhorse who is fitted with
a harness, or on a bridled nag in a dream means occupying an important office
and letting everyone who works for the leader make an oath of allegiance before
hiring them for work. If the bridle and the martingale are unadorned in the
dream, then such a dream represents a humble person, and connotes that his
heart is better than what his outer look may suggest. Reins in a dream also
connote safety or a safety belt. Wearing a harness in a dream means safety, and
that one does not interfere with others’ business or talk about them. However,
should one who has to appear in court see himself wearing a harness in a dream,
it means that his proof will not be accepted by the judge, and subsequently he
will lose his case. If the reins of one’s horse are broken in a dream, it could mean
the death of his driver. Reins in a dream also denote chastity, guardianship and
protection. They also represent the obligatory payment of alms tax which
cleanses and protects one’s capital. If the reins or the harness fall from one’s
hand in the dream, it means corruption in one’s religious life, a decline in his
devotion, or that one’s wife will become unlawful to him (i.e., living together
after a divorce), or that she will remain in his house without a legal marriage.
To see oneself bridled in a dream also means refraining from sin, or observing
a voluntary religious fast. A broken bridle in a dream is good for one who service
it and bad for its owner. (Also see Bridle)

Knee
(Brotherhood; Health; Kneelingin prayers; Movement; Partnership; Prayers;
Servants) One’s knee in a dream represents his efforts, toiling, purpose and
share in earning his livelihood. If the skin covering the kneecap appears healthy
and flawless in the dream, it means that one’s livelihood will become easier to
manage, and his financial standing will become stronger. However, if the skin
of one’s kneecap is detached or hangs loosely in the dream, it denotes coming
hardships. If the skin looks rough and swelling in a dream, it means that his
hard earned money will be lost in a bad investment, and subsequently his
earnings will be scarce and hard to get. Knees in a dream also represent the
condition of one’s health, movements, freedom and level of professionalism.
Healthy knees in a dream also represent travels or business activities. If a sick
person experiences knees pain in a dream, it may mean that he is nearing his
death. As for a traveller knees in a dream represent his travelling vehicle. They
also connote giving and receiving, quietness, one’s residence, savings, expen¬
ditures, or immobility. A broken kneecap in a dream means separation between
friends, or damage to one’s vehicle.

Marriage
(Cage; Digging a grave; Duel; Golden cage; Pearl; Sanctuary; Silver
cage) Marriage in a dream represents the providence of God Almighty and care
for His servants. Marriage in a dream also means imprisonment, indebtedness,
sorrow, distress, depression, carrying a liability, or endeavoring to achieve a
high ranking position. If one marries a known woman in his dream, it means
that he will endeavor to satisfy the normal responsibilities of a husband. If one
marries an unknown woman, and if he could not see her in his dream, it denotes
the nearing of his death, or it could mean moving from an old house into a new
one. If a sick woman sees herself getting married to a man she does not
recognize or know his name in a dream, it means that she may die from her
illness. If the man who sees himself getting married in the dream qualifies, it
means that he will attain a high ranking job or a suitable position. If one’s
wedding ceremony is made with witnesses only in the dream, it means that he
has made a covenant with God Almighty. If he performs a traditional wedding
ceremony with its celebrations and festivities in the dream, it means a new job,
or it could mean acquiring fame, or becoming renowned for one’s good reputation
or character. Marriage in a dream is also interpreted in association with a
trade. If one marries a woman who dies shortly after her wedding in the dream,
it means that he will perform a job that earns him nothing but hard labor,
toiling and stress. If one marries an adulteress in a dream, it means that he
is an adulterer. If one marries a vicious, aggressive or a dominating wife in a
dream, it means that his movements will be hampered with various restrictions.
If one marries a deceased woman in a dream, it means that he will revive a
profitable project he had earlier abandoned. If a man offers his mother in
marriage to one of his friends in a dream, it means that he will sell his house.
If a pregnant woman sees herself getting married in a dream, it means that she
will give birth to a girl. If she sees herself in her wedding night in a dream, it
means that she will beget a son. If a mother who has a son sees herself getting
married in a dream, it means that she will marry off her son. In general, the
marriage of a married woman, or of an unwed woman in a dream means
benefits. If a woman marries a deceased man in a dream, it means that she will
become lost and impoverished. If a married man sees himself getting married
to a second woman in a dream, it means profits. To marry the daughter of a
known man of knowledge in a dream means prosperity. If a sick woman marries
a man of knowledge in her dream, it means recovering from her illness. If a man
sees himself marrying a living relative who is in a degree of consanguinity that
precludes such a marriage in a dream, it means that he will sever his ties with
such a relative, or with her family. Otherwise, if that relative is already dead,
it means that he will contact her immediate relatives and establish a friendly
relationship with them. (Also see Cage; Duel; Sanctuary; Wife; Yoke)

House
(Cage; Dwellings) In a dream, one’s house holds different meanings. One
of them is the wife. If one sees himself entering his house in a dream, it means
that he will get married, or have sexual intercourse with his wife. Building one’s
own house in a dream means that a sick person will recover from his illness. If
such construction is hard and if it is customary in that family to bury its dead
within the compound of the same property, then it means the death of a sick
person in the family. If no one is sick in that house and the construction is
accompanied with music and celebrations in the dream, then it means adver¬
sities, trials and hardships. If under such circumstance the person in the dream
is unmarried, it means marriage, and if he is married, it means that he will
marry off one of his daughters. If one sees himself tied up and imprisoned inside
a house in a dream, it means that he will receive glad tidings, or it could mean
good health and prosperity. If one sees himself carrying a house over his
shoulders in a dream, it means that he takes care of a needy woman or a wife.
If one sees his house made of gold in a dream, it means that a fire will burn it
down. If the house has no roof, whereby one can see the skies, sun or moon in
a dream, it represents the marriage of a woman from that household. If one sees
a big house within his own house in a dream, it means that a righteous woman
will live their or move into that family to become a blessing for such a house.
If there is a tunnel under such a house in the dream, it denotes deception or that
a perfidious person is having access to that household. A house without lights
in a dream represents a woman of evil character, and if a woman sees that house
in her dream, then it represents a man of evil character. Demolishing one’s
house in a dream means a fight within that family. If one sees grass growing
inside his house in a dream, it means a wedding. (Also see Cage; Dwellings; Glass
house)

and trouble caused by a chatterer or a backbiter. A scorpion in a dream also
means that one may be deceived by someone with a scorpion quality, and
particularly if he uses a short haircut around the ears in the dream. A scorpion
in a dream also represents a backbiter and an enemy from within one’s family.
If one catches a scorpion inside his own house and throws it at his wife in the
dream, it means that he engages with a loathsome and a forbidden sexual
relationship with her from the anus. If a scorpion attacks people in a dream, the
scorpion there represents a homosexual. A yellow scorpion in a dream repre¬
sents a fierce enemy, though he would have more patience in getting at his prey.
A yellow scorpion in a dream also means incoming money. Killing a yellow
scorpion in a dream means making a good investment that will show profits. The

will not remain long in one’s possession. If scorpions pierce through the walls
of one’s house in a dream, it means the death of one’s enemy. A scorpion in one’s
pants in a dream represents an enemy who blackmail or takes advantage of one’s
wife. Eating a cooked or a broiled scorpion in a dream means making money
behind the back of one’s enemy, or winning a just inheritance case against one’s
opponent. Eating an uncooked scorpion in a dream means backbiting a corrupt
person. Eating a scorpion uncooked in a dream also means getting unlawful
money. A scorpion coming out of one’s anus in a dream means begetting children
who will turn enemies of their father. Swallowing a scorpion in a dream means
letting an enemy inside one’s house. A scorpion inside one’s shirt or shop in a
dream represents trouble and distress regarding one’s livelihood. A scorpion
sitting on one’s bed in dream represents an inside enemy. A scorpions inside

means that he has suspicion about someone who is not an enemy. The stingers
of a scorpion in a dream represent one’s tongue. (Also see Sting)

Skies
(Castle; Child; Firmament; Heavens; House; Mother; Oath; Ocean; Prison;
Teacher; Town; Wife; Wonders) In a dream, the sky represents itself. Whatever
descends from it or comes from that direction in a dream will materialize. If fire
falls from the sky over people’s homes in a dream, it means plagues, illness,
pleurisy, smallpox, or death and destruction. If fire falls over the marketplace
in the dream, it means higher prices. If it falls over the fields and farmlands in
the dream, it means that the crops could either burn, freeze, or be struck by a
swarm of locusts or by other harmful insects. If what falls from the sky indicates
prosperity, such as honey, oil, figs, barley, or money, etcetera, in the dream, it
means a good rain and a good harvest for that year. Whatever falls from the sky
of good or bad may represent the government and the hardships it inflicts upon
the people, or the benefits it may bring them. Climbing to the sky with a rope,
a ladder, or using a staircase in a dream means exaltation, rising in station, good
luck and support. If one climbs without a common medium in a dream, it means
fear and arrogance. If his intention in climbing is to spy on others in the dream,
it means that he may work as a spy. If one descends safely from the sky in the
dream, it means that he will escape and be spared the consequences of his sin.
If he falls and breaks or fractures a bone or so in the dream, it means that he
may suffer such accident in wakefulness. If a sick person sees himself climbing
to the sky, and if he does not return to earth in the dream, it means that he may
die from his illness. If he comes back in the dream, it means that his illness will
increase and his difficulties will reach their peak, though God willing, he will
recover from his illness, unless he falls into a hole in a dream. In that case the
hole represents his grave. If one sees the sky shooting arrows causing people
wounds, injuries and bleeding in a dream, it means taxes and confiscation of
properties by the government. If the arrows hit people’s ears and eyes only in
the dream, it means that major trials and temptations will strike at everyone.
If the arrows fall without causing harm to anyone, and if people rush to collect
them in the dream, they represent a booty that people will come to win, or a
divine gifts people will enjoy. To rise close to the sky in a dream means nearness
to one’s Lord. This is particularly true for pious people and for true believers.
Nearing the sky in a dream also represents a supplication needing an immediate
answer, and God willing such prayers will be answered. Nearing the sky in a
dream also could mean going before the governor of one’s town, or any person
from whom one may need something, i.e., a teacher, a man of knowledge, a
father, or a wife. If one sees the sky falling over his head in a dream, it means
that the roof of his house may cave in, or that he will die from an illness he
already suffers. If one sees himself climbing and entering the sky in a dream,
it means that he will die as a martyr. If one sees himself standing in the sky in
a dream, it means that he will command or admonish others. If one sees himself
in the sky looking down at something on earth in a dream, it means that he will
rise in station, then he will regret something he missed. If one sees the sky green
in a dream, it means prosperity and a good harvest. If one sees the sky turned
into iron in a dream, it means drought or scarcity of rain. If one falls from the
sky in a dream, it means that he may abandon his faith, become a reprobate,
or that he may be struck with a major calamity that will be driven by an unjust
person. If the iron sky splits open, and if an old man appears from behind it in
the dream, such an old person represents the grandfather of the people of that
town or tribe. Consequently, people will enjoy a good harvest, prosperity and
happiness. If it is a young man that appears in the dream, then he represents
an enemy and an evil that may befall the people following such dream. If a sheep
appears from the sky in a dream, then it means profits. If camels appear, then
they represent rain. If a lion appears in the dream, it represents an unjust ruler.
If the sky becomes one solid piece in the dream, it means drought. If it rips apart
and its doors become wide open in the dream, then it means rain or an answer
to people’s prayers. If one sees himself reaching out and touching the sky in a
dream, it means that he is seeking an important goal, and that he will fail to
attain it. If one sees himself rising near the lower heavens in a dream, it means
worldly gains, or profits and status in either material or spiritual realms. If one
looks toward the sky, whether to the East or to the West in a dream, it means
travels. If one sees himself stealing the sky and hiding it in ajar in a dream, it
means that he may steal a copy of the holy Quran and hides it with his wife.
If one sees the sky wide open in a dream, it means blessings and benefits. If one
sees himself rising toward the sky in a fiat posture in a dream, it means that
he will become emaciated, or suffer losses in his business. On the other hand,
if one sees himself rising without difficulty and without being laid on his back
in a dream, it means exaltation, success and safety from any harm that could
be driven by one’s enemies. If one bites the sky in a dream, it means that a
calamity will strike at him, or it could mean business losses, failure to attain
one’s goals, or an argument with one’s superior at work. If one sees himself
touring the sky then returning to earth in a dream, it means that he may become
an astronomer, or an astrologer and gain fame in his field. If one sees himself
leaning his back to the sky in a dream, it means that he may win a leadership
position, or win victory over his opponents. If one sees himself in the sky having
a form different than that of human beings in a dream, it means that he may
leave this world unblessed. If one sees himself hanging down with a rope from
the sky in a dream, it means that he will govern after someone else’s, or inherit
his post. However, if the rope breaks in the dream, it means that he may lose
such an opportunity. If one sees a lighted candle in the sky which luster and
brightness dims the light of the sun in a dream, it represents a solar eclipse. If
one sees the sky being build in his presence in a dream, it means that he lies
in his testimonies. Falling from the sky in a dream also could be a warning
against falling into sin. Falling from the sky in a dream with one’s head down
means longevity. If one sees himself in the sky but could not remember when
did he enter it in a dream, it means that God willing he is already in paradise.
If one sees radiance, or scintillating rays of light coming through the sky in a
dream, it means guidance. If he sees dark clouds coming through the sky in a
dream, it means that he could stray from God’s path. If he sees a scourge
descending from the sky in a dream, it means that plagues and adversities will
befall the people as a chastisement for their sins, or for crimes they have
committed. As for gnostics and people of knowledge, seeing the sky in a dream
means clarity, vision, placing one’s interests in heavenly matters, or travelling
to distant lands, or engaging in importing and exporting goods. Climbing into
the sky in a dream also means falsehood, false beliefs, lies, or talking about God
Almighty without the proper knowledge or guidance. Climbing into the sky in
a dream also could mean seeking one’s livelihood, satisfying one’s needs, or
fulfilling a promise. Skies in a dream also represent the ocean because of their
vastness and the countless number of creation living therein, or they could
represent the ripening of fruits, or the conclusion of one’s work, or they could
represent one’s helmet, armor, wife, money, religion, death, or they could
indicate slander and falsehood against someone who descends from them after
being raised, and they could mean making peace with one’s enemies, or they
could represent the shares allotted for each one of God’s creation, the good and
the bad, people’s sustenance and that of beasts, gains, losses, blessings or
afflictions. (Also see Ascending in the skies; Celestial spheres; Heavens; Star)
Skin inflammation: (Thinning; Shedding one’s skin) If one sees his skin thinned
or inflamed between his legs in a dream, it means that he will marry a rich
woman who will give him her wealth. If one sees himself shedding his skin or
skinning himself in a dream, it means money he will part with, and if he is sick,
it means his death. (Also see Dry skin; Skin)

Tanner
(Changing hide into leather or curing it; Dye) Seeing a tanner in a dream
is interpreted the same as seeing a cupper. ( See Cupping). Both specialties cure
something. If one sees a physician becoming a tanner in a dream, it denotes his
expertise and the large number of people who benefit from his treatments.
Unless one finds the tanning to be faulty, then it indicates a non-professional
person. If seeing a tanner in a dream is understood to denote material benefits,
then in reality, he represents an escape from death. If he is understood in
relationship with religious matters, then seeing him means feeding the poor and
hungry during a drought or a famine. A tanner in a dream also represents a
peacemaker, a physician, or a guardian. However, it is possible to interpret a
tanner in a dream to mean distress, adversities, or an unjust person. (Also see
Dye; Vat)

Village
(City; Suburban area; Town) A village in a dream represents injustice that
will be followed by destruction as a consequence of people’s sins. Entering a well
fortified village in a dream means fighting with someone. Crossing a village into
a city in a dream means changing a menial job into a more respectable one, or
perhaps it could mean downgrading a good deed one has performed, thinking
of it as unimportant, or regretting it, or it could mean doing something good and
thinking of it as evil, or perhaps it could mean showing indecisiveness and
doubt. Entering a village in a dream also means governing it, or presiding over
its people, or it could mean commencing a new job. Walking out of a village in
a dream means escaping from evil. Seeing a destroyed village in a dream means
heedlessness or a calamity caused by the sins of its dwellers. Seeing a well-built
village in a dream shows the piety and righteousness of its people. Seeing
ancient edifices or ruins inhabited again in a dream represents people’s repentance
from sin. A village in a dream also could signify injustice, innovations, corruption,
disregarding the divine laws, or discarding the moral standards set by the
community. A village in a dream also could represent ants’ underground nest
or colony, while an anthill in a dream represents a village. If a village is
completely destroyed by fire, or floods, or freezing temperature, or by locusts,
or plagues in one’s dream, it means suffering under the oppression of an unjust
ruler or a tyrant, or it could mean destroying an anthill. Moving from a village
into a city in a dream means leaving one’s toiling and hardships behind him.
Moving from a city into a village means the opposite, and signifies leaving

in a dream means falling in rank, or it could mean oppressing oneself. If one sees
himself ascending in the skies until he reaches the stars, merges with them and
if he becomes a star in the dream, it means that he will receive titles and powers.
If one sees himself ascending a mountain it means depression, stress and
travels. However, rising in a dream means elevation of status, and descending
means a backslide. If one sees himself walking up a steep road in a dream, it
means rising in status, but involving toiling and hardships. If one sees himself
climbing a mountain, then the mountain in a dream is interpreted as one’s goal.
Thus, one’s dream may mean attaining one’s goal as far as he reaches in his
climb. In dream interpretation, any ascent of a mountain, a trail, a hill, an
elevation or even climbing a roof means attaining one’s goal or satisfying one’s
needs. To see oneself climbing flat on his back in a dream then means uncalled
for, orunnecessary hardship. (Also see Air; Ascent; Climbing a mountain; Flying)
Ascent: (Incline; Mountain road; Steep incline) If one sees himself climbing a
steep incline in a dream, it means toiling to succeed in both his material and
spiritual life, or it could mean trying to gather the benefits of both worlds,
though with great strain on him . An ascent in a dream also could signify a
difficult woman or a stern man who can only be handled with kindness,
gentleness and love. An ascent in a dream also represents one’s associate, or a
business partner who cannot be trusted with one’s money or life. An ascent in
a dream also represents the road to salvation or the dangers one may have to
cross and the deeds that can save him from hell-fire. An ascent in a dream also
could represent adversities, difficulties and dangers. Ascending a steep incline
in a dream means danger and descending a steep hill means reaching safety.
An ascent in a dream also could represent a bridge, an underpass, a wife, a
woman, or a scorpion. Walking through a steep incline in a dream also means
rising in station because of one’s knowledge, politics, good conduct, fulfillment
of one’s duties, his caring for others or wisdom. Falling through a steep hill in
a dream means falling in rank, losing one’s prestige, losing one’s money, denying
the truth, objecting to one’s religion or walking into darkness. Climbing in a
dream always means attainment of one’s goals. Climbing flat on one’s back in
a dream has negative connotations. Descending from a steep hill, or from a ship,
or coming down form a castle or a mountain in a dream also mean that one’s goal
will not materialize. (Also see Ascending the skies; Climbing a mountain)

Dye
(Color; Expose; Hair; Henna; Hide; Gray hair) Applying henna or a dye to
one’s hair or hands in a dream represents a pharmacist, celebrations, glad
tidings, tenderness, or it could mean compassion. Dyeing one’s hair in a dream
also means veiling or protecting one’s personal life and that of others. To dye
the gray hair of one’s beard in a dream means ostentatiousness and adorning
one’s merchandise or deeds to make them look better than reality. Dyeing one’s
hair in a dream also connotes a display of blessings and favors, or it could mean
dictating one’s conditions to his enemy, if the person is in such position.
However, if not, it means difficulties, aggravation, distress, debts or dropping
off one’s ties with those who love him. Interpreting woman’s dyeing of her hair
in a dream is the same as that of a man. To dye one’s gray hair in a dream means
strength, dignity and valor. Applying henna dye to one’s head and not to one’s
beard in a dream means emulating the traditions of God’s Prophet, upon whom
be peace. To dye both the head and the beard in a dream means concealing one’s
poverty, though one will keep asking people to pay him respect or to recognize
him in their circles. If one’s hair accepts the dye in the dream, it means regaining
one’s status, though with less emphasis on his pride, or it could mean that he
will make contentment his new ornament or trim. If one uses a dye other than
what is commonly used, and if it works in the dream, it means that he will be
saved from an adverse condition through miraculous events. If the new dye does
not work in the dream, it means that his true nature will be exposed and he will
have no solutions to protect himself from defamation or public abuse. If he tries
to dyes his hair with dry henna clay, and if his hair still accepts it in the dream,
it means that he is an ignorant person, though he will ultimately repent for his
sins, amend his actions and improve himself. If a woman sees her hands dyed
with gold in a dream, it means that she will give all her wealth to her husband
and that she will be satisfied to see him happy, though in reality she too will gain
power and status in her family. If a man sees his feet dyed and tattooed in a
dream, it means that he will be struck with family problems. A dyed hand in a
dream means hardship in making ends meet. If one dips his hand into a laying
corpse in a dream, it means that he will witness a conspiracy. If one sees his
hands dyed in a dream, it also means that he has reached the end of the rope
with his money or business. If one sees his dyed hands wrapped or bandaged in
a dream, it means that he will lose a trial or a fight with his rivals, or that he
will fail to meet such a challenge again. Dyeing only the finger with henna in
a dream represents branches of dates or clusters of grapes. In general, dyeing
one’s hands with henna or one’s hair with regular dye as a makeup in a dream
represents joy for the husband and wife as long as they do not exceed the norms.
Dyeing one’s hands and feet in a dream means redecorating one’s house. If a poor
person sees himself dyeing his hands or hair in a dream, it means that he will
cover up the loss of his ablution during prayers or during his reading of the Holy
Quran or during other ritual occasions where he is required to have ablution
before proceeding. It could also mean that he cares little about attending his
prayers. As for women, dyeing means happiness, new clothing, receiving gold,
or a wedding celebration. If the dye exceeds the required surface of the hands
or the feet in the dream, it means being struck with fear and worries caused by
one’s business or friends. If a man sees himself in a dream dyeing his hair or
beard with other than henna, it means that he will suffer from what he fears
most. Dyeing or suppressing one’s feelings for a sick person means recovering
from his ailment. Dyeing one’s hair black in a dream means hiding one’s bad
conditions, spoiling the benefits of one’s deeds, or hiding one’s evil intentions.
This is taken from the practice of Egypt’s Pharaoh who sometimes dyed his hair
black, thus trying to hide his appearance and ignorance.

Five times prayers
(Communication; Communion; Invocations; Prayers; arb. Salat)
To see oneself performing one’s obligatory prayers (arb. Fardh ) in a dream means
receiving a high ranking appointment, spiritual advancement, leadership,
presiding over people, delivering a message, performing a duty, paying dues,
turning over one’s trust or satisfying obligatory deeds and enjoying peace. If one
sees himself in a dream performing one of the five obligatory prayers on time,
having performed the proper ablution and correctly completed its obeisance of
the proper standing, bowing and prostrating postures, standing with reverence
and piety and facing the Ka‘aba, it means that he will perform a religious duty
or attend the annual pilgrimage in Mecca. It also means that he will extricate
himself from an unjust deed he fell into and repent, or it could mean eschewing
evil. Performing the divinely ordained prayers in dream also means loyalty to
one’s promise, employment for a person who could not find a job, or reconcili¬
ation with a long forsaken friend or relative. If one leads the prayers in his
dream, it means that he will guarantee something to someone, or it could means
that he will borrow money for a term. If one prays behind an Imam in the dream,
it means that he will become a burden to others. The midday prayers known in
Arabic as Zuhur signify a manifestation, a proclamation or exposing what is
hidden. Praying Zuhur in a dream means attaining one’s goal, satisfying every
need, obtaining everything one has asked for from earthly gains in this world,
or it could mean spiritual benefits in the hereafter and particularly if one sees
himself completing his prayers in the dream. Completing one’s prayers means
achieving one’s goal. If one is incarcerated because of a debt and sees himself
completing his Zuhur prayers in a dream, it means that someone will pay his
debt for him and gets him released from prison and he will then prosper. If one
sees himself performing his Zuhur prayers in a clear day and feels happy about
it in his dream, it means that he will engage in some work that will make him
famous and that he will enjoy the fruits of his work as much as he did in that
clear and beautiful day in his dream. If one performs his midday Zuhur prayers
in a cloudy day in a dream, it means that his work will be distressful. As for the
mid-afternoon prayers, known in Arabic as Asr, performing it in a dream means
taking a vow or making a promise. This prayer in a dream also represents one’s
liability. If one sees himself performing the ‘Asr prayers in a dream, it means
that what he is asking for will materialize, though after some hardships and
adversities. If one does not complete his ‘Asr prayers in a dream, it means that
what he is asking for may not take place. If one sees himself performing the
sunset prayers, known in Arabic as Maghrib in a dream, it means that what he

known in Arabic as ‘Isha. If one sees himself performing his ‘Isha prayers in a
dream, it means that he will complete his work and get what he wants, or it could
mean the end of his life, following which, one u su ally attends to his resting time,
which is similar to death. If one sees himself performing the daybreak prayers
before dawn in a dream, it means that the morning has come and it will be soon
before he hears either good or bad news. On another level, if one sees himself
praying the evening ‘Isha prayers in a dream, it means that he is committed to
attend to his family’s needs as commanded by God Almighty, such as providing
for their food, clothing, shelter and teachings. If one sees himself praying in the
middle of the night (arb. Witter) in a dream, it means that he does attend to his
family’s needs and perhaps they feel comfort in his presence. If one sees himself
performing the dawn Fajr prayers in a dream, it means that he will start with
the inevitable, such as working to provide for his family. If one sees himself
performing the midday Zuhur prayers at the time of the mid-afternoon prayers
in a dream, it means that he will repay his debts. If one’s midday Zuhur prayers
or his mid-afternoon ‘Asr prayers are interrupted in the dream, it means that
he will pay half of what he owes. If one sees himself performing the mid¬
afternoon prayers in a dream, it means that his job will shortly be completed and
only little work is left for him to finish. Praying the sunset Maghrib prayers in
a dream means finishing one’s duties and it is time for him to take a rest. The
night ‘Isha prayers in a dream means veiling things or entering the privacy of
one’s home. On a third level, the midday guhur prayers mean repentance, dis¬
missal or abrogation of laws. The midday Zuhur prayers also could mean
struggling against Satan and one’s enemies, which struggle takes place usually
at the time of one’s midday nap. The mid-afternoon ‘Asr prayers in a dream also
represents victory in one’s life, or it could mean guidance, blessings and
observing God’s laws. The sunset Maghrib prayers in a dream means losing a
parent, the passing away of one’s guardian, the death of a close friend or the
impeachment of the person the dream indicate. Seeing oneself praying the night
‘Isha prayers in a dream means preparing for a journey, or it could mean
marriage, moving from one place into another, or it could mean suffering from
cataract, weakness of one’s vision, or it could denote the vastness of what is to
come, for ‘Isha prayers are distant from the dawn Fajr prayers. Performing the
dawn Fajr prayers in a dream indicates a vow one pledges. Praying the mid¬
afternoon ‘Asr prayers in a dream means attaining ease after suffering from
hardships. Performing the sunset Maghrib prayers in a dream means having
crossed something that will come back later, and performing the night ‘Isha prayers

eating honey in a dream, it means that he may engage in sexual intercourse with
his wife during the fasting hours. If a woman sees herself performing the
obligatory (arb. Fardh) prayers shortened to two grouping of prostrations in a
dream, it means that she will have her monthly menstrual period on that day.
If one discovers that he has missed the time of the prescribed prayer and could
not find a place or time to perform it in his dream, it means that he will face
difficulties finishing something or paying a debt or satisfy a worldly goal. If one
intentionally neglects to do an obligatory prayer, or if he plans to do the m la ter
(arb. Qada’) in the dream, it means that he takes his religious commitment
lightly and hopes to correct his attitude at a later time. Performing the Friday

outwardly, and if he is called upon to judge between people, it means that his
judgment will be wrong or that he may follow his own mind, or it could mean
affectation, falsehood, hypocrisy, hiding the truth or unjustly confiscating
someone’s money. If one changes the order of the ritual prayers in a dream, it

or oft-distracted during prayers. If one sees himself leading the funeral prayers
in a dream, and then after completinghis prayers intercedes exaggeratedly with
special invocations on behalf of the deceased in a dream, it means that he will

laughing during his prayers in a dream, it means that he oft-forgets his prayers
and that he is delinquent about performing them properly and on time. If one
sees himself praying while drunk in a dream, it means that he will give a false
testimony in court. If one sees himself praying without the required ablution in
a dream, it means that his religious performance is worthless and that his
adherence is despicable. If one sees himself standing in prayers toward the
wrong direction in a dream, it means that he does the opposite of what he is
required to do, or that he acts the opposite of what God Almighty has ordained.
If one sees himself turning his back toward God’s House in a dream, it means
that he is an apostate who rejects God’s religion or that he does not care about
it. If one sees the people in the mosque facing another direction in his dream,
it means that their leader or judge will be dismissed from his office, or that he
neglects to follow the prescribed rules of his religion, or that he follows his own
mind and desire in making religious interpretations. However, performing one’s
prayers and turning with helplessness toward any direction and crying for help
in a dream means seeking God’s nearness, or asking to be accepted by other
believers for an unacceptable indulgence or a non-permissible opinion, or it
could mean travelling in the direction he faced in his dream. If one sees himself
praying eastward or westward and beyond the point of God’s House in Mecca
in a dream, it means that he is a despicable person who is full of arrogance, who
backbites and slanders others and who is daring to indulge in sin and disobedience
to his Lord. If one could not find the direction of the Ka‘aba in his dream, it means
that he has doubt about his faith. However, if one sees himself facing the holy
Ka‘aba in the dream, it means that he is walking on the straight path. If one sees

he will join the caravan of pilgrims to Mecca. God knows best. (Also see Death;

Righteous people
(Companions of God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace; Follow¬
ers; Successors) Seeing God’s blessed people and His righteous ones, or any of
the early companions of God’s Messenger (uwbp), whether such a companion is
known or not in a dream represents blessings in one’s life and denotes one’s
correct following of their example, and their advice or comments in one’s dream
must be heeded. To see oneself as one of such true ones, or to enter their circles
in a dream means that one is following their example and enjoying or suffering
similar trials to theirs, then he will triumph over his enemies. To see one of the
companions living in a city in a dream also represents the joy, happiness,
prosperity, and justice the inhabitants of such a city enjoy under the leadership
of a righteous governor. (Also see Companions of the Prophet; Scholars; Serving;
Shepherd)

(Compromise; Peace; Reconciliation; Settlement) Making peace
with one’s adversary in a dream means disagreement in wakefulness. However,
reconciliation between two adversaries or friends in accordance with the
prescribed laws in a dream means unity, repentance from sin, guidance that
pleases God Almighty, blessings and profits. It also could mean an argument
with the person seen in the dream. If one sees himself making peace with an
adversary in a dream, it means that he will call upon a heedless person to walk
on God’s path. Making a settlement with an adversary over money in a dream
means profits for the lender. In a dream, signing a peace agreement between two
enemies in the battlefield means safety and prosperity, intending to get married, or building a business partnership.
Conciliation between arguing drunkards over what they are drinking means enmity between people. If two groups

Clouds
(Concealment; Gloom; Dream; Life; Rains; Skies; Soldiers; Sufferings;
Vapor; Water) In a dream, clouds represent the course of life which provides
people with rainwater to drink, water to wash their dirt, water for their crops
and sustenance. Clouds in a dream also represent knowledge, understanding,
wisdom, clarity as they show the divine kindness. Clouds in a dream also
represent an army or friends who carry the water and the water represents life
and the original element from which they were created. Clouds in a dream also
represent ships, airplanes, or if they are black or carry stones or bring thunder,
then they represent the antagonistic character of a leader who deprives his
people from their rights or causes them to suffer through restrictive laws or
harsh mandates. If one sees a cloud inside his house or descending upon him in
his room in a dream, it means that he will join the company of believers or
receives an award, or that he is endowed with wisdom, or should he wish for a
child, his wife will conceive one. If he is a merchant, it means that his
merchandise will arrive to its port of destination. If one sees himself riding over
a cloud in a dream, it means exaltation or marriage to a pious woman, or that
one will attend a pilgrimage should it be his wish. Otherwise, should he wish
for it, he will become renowned for his knowledge and wisdom. Should he
qualify, it means that he will lead an army, or that he will rise in rank, or that
he will be sent as an emissary of his government or as an ambassador. If people
are expecting clouds to water their farms, and should one see masses of clear
clouds carrying rains and coming in that direction in the dream, it means a
calamity. If the clouds carry poisonous rains or acid rains or polluted rains, or
if they are driven by heavy winds, or if they carry fires or dust or ashes or rocks
from a volcano, they mean that a calamity will strike that locality, or that they
will receive news about travellers the majority of whom will perish during a trip.
Clouds also mean innovations and man made religions that may spread throughout
the land. If one sees himself merging with the clouds in a dream, it means that
he associates himself with a person in authority or a wise man or a man of
knowledge. If one sees himself eating clouds in his dream, it means that he will
gain lawfully earned money from such a person, or that perhaps he may gain
wisdom. If one sees himself amassing clouds in a dream, it means that he will
learn wisdom at the hand of a close associate. If one sees himself mixing with
the clouds but does not carry anything out of them in a dream, it means that he
will mix with people of knowledge and learn nothing from what they say, or
practice nothing of what they teach. If one sees himself riding over the clouds
in a dream, it means that he may become famous for his wisdom and knowledge.
If one sees his own son turned into a cloud in a dream, it means that he earns
his livelihood from teaching wisdom or religious knowledge to others. Black clouds
in a dream mean wisdom, forbearance, honesty and joy. If the black clouds also
carry a threat or cause fear in the dream, it means that one will be reprimanded
by such a wise person. If one sees himself building a house over a cloud in a
dream, it means that he lives an honest life, earns lawful money and lives his
life with wisdom and integrity. If one builds a palace over a cloud in a dream,
it means that through his wisdom, he avoids committing sins. It also means that
he prospers from such a wisdom or builds a palace in paradise with his deeds.
If one sees a cloud in his hand and rain falling from it in a dream, it denotes the
wisdom he speaks. If one turns into a rainy cloud in a dream, it means that he
lives wealthy and benefits people from his money. If one turns into a cloud that
rains gold in a dream, it means that he will learn wisdom from a great man.
Clouds in a dream also represent the people in authority who do others favors
and ask for no reward. If one hears a human sound calling him from behind a
cloud in a dream, it means that God willing he will attend a pilgrimage. ( See
Invisible caller). A black cloud in a dream also represents a just judge, while a
white cloud represents a blessed and a noble justice. Clouds in season in a dream
represent benefits, profits and prosperity. A mass of black clouds carrying no
rain in a dream mean benefits, extreme cold, sadness or sorrow. Red clouds in
a dream mean distress, adversities or a sickness. A cloud covering a town in a
dream means blessings. If the person who sees such black clouds in his dream

On the other hand, if he is unhappy about something, then if he sees such a

a sign of work, a job or business. Rising fog in a dream means taking a journey,
or returning from one. Red clouds in a dream means lack of work. A gloomy cloud
in a dream means stress. If one sees clouds welcoming him in a dream, it means

his sins. If one sees clouds covering the sun in a dream, it means that the ruler
of that land is ill. If one sees himself wearing a shirt of clouds in a dream, it
means blessings that God Almighty has favored him with. Clouds in a dream
also represent virtues, miracles, favors, rains, love and blessings, because they
also appear when a prophet or a saint pray for rain or to shelter a blessed person
from the heat of the sun. Clouds in a dream also mean travel by sea or air.

Resurrection
(Day of Reckoning; Day of Resurrection; Last Day; Reckoning;
Rising of the dead; Trumpet of Resurrection) Seeing the Day of Resurrection,
or Doomsday in a dream is a serious warning for a sinner, or it could represent
a warning for someone who is contemplating a sinful act. Seeing the Day of
Resurrection in a dream also denotes justice. Beingthe only person resurrected
on such a day means one’s death. Standing up awaiting one’s judgement on the
Day of Resurrection in a dream means travels. If one sees himself and his wife
being the only people who are brought for judgement of the grand Day of
Gathering in a dream, it means that he is being unjust. If a warrior sees the Day
of Resurrection in a dream, it means that by God’s decree, the aggressor shall
be defeated. The land of the grand gathering in a dream represents a chaste
woman or a noble man. The blowing of the Trumpet of Resurrection in a dream
represents the salvation of the righteous ones. Seeing any of the great ex¬
traordinary events or signs that shall precede the Day of resurrection in a dream
means glad tidings for a believer who does good, and a warning for a disbeliever
to correct himself and repent for his sins before its coming. Seeing the Day of
Resurrection in a dream also denotes that some of the major signs are actually
taking place, such as blood shedding, spread of evil, belligerence of atheism,
pride about wealth, ruling of the working class, building high rises, the end of
the era of kings on earth, or it could remind the person of the prophesied signs,
such as the rising of the sun from the West, the emergence of a beast that will
speak with a human tongue, the rising of the Imposter (arb. Dajjal. Antichrist),
etcetera. Seeing the Day of Resurrection in a dream also represents the spread
of evil, the presence of an extended police force, and the ruling of large armies
and dictatorships around the world. Thus, seeing the Day of Resurrection in a
dream is a reminder and a warning to the one who sees it. If one sees the graves
splitting open, dead people resurrected back to life and are walking out of them
accompanied with their angels in a dream, it means that justice will prevail in
that land. If one experiences the resurrection in a dream, then discovers that
the world went back to continue its prior course , it means that justice will
dominate that land for a while, then it will be followed by a tyranny that will
be carried by people who are not even suspected to be of such character. Such
a dream also could be interpreted to suit a person who is seeking the impossible,
or one who is adamant at pursuing the path of wrongdoing, falsehood and lies.
Recognizing the eminent final signs of the Day of Reckoning in a dream means
that one is unaware of his heedlessness and such dream constitutes a warning.
If one’s reckoning is easy in a dream, it denotes his wife’s piety, compassion and
love for him. If one’s reckoning is detailed and painful in a dream, then it
represents major losses. If one’s good deeds weigh heavier than his bad deeds
in the dream, it means that his devotion is true and that his reward will be
greater. If one sees himself carrying the scale to weigh his own deeds in a dream,
it denotes his righteousness and correctness. If one sees an angel handing him
his records and telling him to read his own book in the dream, it also means that
he is on the right path. Walking on the bridge of the Day of Judgment, carrying
one’s own records and crying in a dream means that one is praying for God’s
forgiveness and to ease his reckoning. If one sees the Doomsday in a dream, it
means that he will escape from dangerous enemies, or that perhaps a major trial
will befall the dwellers of that place. If one crosses the Bridge of Judgement in
a dream, it means that he will escape a major trial, or perhaps it could represent
a major hurdle one may have to cross in this life. If one sees himself carrying
his book of records in his right hand in a dream, it means that he will win
righteousness, wealth and honor. If one sees himself carrying his book of records
in his left hand in a dream, it means that he will fall into sin and the consequent
poverty and need of others, for wealth and adultery do not mix. If one witnesses
the emergence of the Imposter ( Antichrist ) in a dream, it signifies new trends,
innovations and masses straying from the straight path. (Also see Intercession;
Reckoning; Rising of the dead; Trumpet of Resurrection)

men. If he bleeds in the dream, it means that his subjects draw benefits from
him. Crucifixion of a poor person in a dream means richness, while for a rich
person, it means revelations about his business dealings, exposure of his true
character, defamation, or it could mean poverty. As for an unwed person,

ruler, or a judge sees that the Holy Book does no longer exist, or if he sees it
burning, or if its contents are washed away in a dream, it means his death. If
one sees a ruler or a governor handwriting a copy of the Holy Book in a dream,
it means that he is a just person who uses the divine laws in making his decision.
If a judge sees himself handwritings copy of the Holy Book in a dream, it means
that he does not share his knowledge, and that he is audacious about his rank
and status. If a religious scholar or a theologian sees himself writing a copy of

that he portrays himself to be what he is not, or that he impersonates a scholar,
or pretends to be religious. Kissing the Holy Book in a dream means revering
what it contains and adhering to what it commands. If one looks into the pages
of the Holy Book and finds its lines crooked in a dream, it means that he lives
satisfied with what he has, and fulfills his required duties accordingly. Stealing

performing his own prayers, or fails to do them properly. If one sees himself
looking in the Holy Book, then writing from what he is reading on his own
garment in the dream, it means that he interprets the Quranic revelation
according to his own liking. If one sees a Holy Book sitting in his lap, then if a
chick comes and picks all the words written therein in a dream, it means that

inheritance, and benefit from the piety of his father, and as a trust, a lawful
earning and a source of strength in his life. Buying a copy of the Holy Book in

repelling calamities, recovering from illness, profits or truthfulness. This is also
true when it comes to earning one’s money lawfully, but if one gives a dead
animal or alcohol or a stolen or mismanaged money in charity, then his charity

means losing one’s son or missing one’s prayers. If one sees himself moving piles
of banknotes to his house in a dream, it means that money will be delivered to
his hand. Though banknotes are blessings and they are what people need,
nevertheless, they are also Satan’s arrows. If one sees himself handling a large
quantity of banknotes in a dream, they mean trusts he receives for saving or as
a business. If one sees himself holding a banknote in his hand in a dream, it
means that he has entrusted something to a friend who will deliver it back to

Fruit
(Dried fruits; Fresh fruits) In a dream, a sweet tasting fruit represents
blessings, knowledge or money. Even a sour tasting fruit means the same when
it suits the taste of the person eating it in his dream. When a sour tasting fruit
does not agree with the person’s taste in the dream, then it means unlawful
earnings or aggravation of his illness. Eating or drinking any by-product that
is made of fruit in a dream means debts or facing challenges in a foreign land.
Seeing one’s most preferred fruit in a dream represent profits earned from one’s
own sweat and such profits will equal the amount of efforts exerted to earn them.
A large size fruit in a dream represents earnings that are not yet free from due
alms. A fruit without seeds or hull in a dream represents success and lawful
earnings. Eating fruits out of season in a dream means prosperity and comfort.
A fruit that grows or which is plucked in cluster or as bunch in a dream means
love and unity. Imported fruits in a dream represent their country of origin.
Fruits in a dream also represent one’s wife, children, business agreements,
exchanging knowledge, good deeds, family reunion, weddings, recovering from
sickness or recovering lost money. Grapes in a dream represent wine, and water
melon represents the alcoholic beverage which is fermented from its juices. To
pick up a fruit that fell from a tree in a dream means leading a fight against a
righteous person. If one sees a tree that bears fruit in warm weather bearing
fruit in the winter in a dream, it means that he will associate with someone
expecting to make a business deal, though their friendship will end in wasting
time and money. To pluck a fruit from a tree other than its own in a dream
represents a good brother in-law, an honest partner, or a profitable partnership.
Wild berries in the mountains or prairies in a dream represent innate arts,
abilities and knowledge given directly from God Almighty and no other teacher
has a claim in it. Figs in a dream represent the best of fruits in a dream. Fresh
fruits in a dream signify money that does not last, while dried fruits represent
savings. Fruits for a poor person in a dream signify prosperity and for a rich
person they signify increase in his wealth. If one is showered with fruits in a

Henna
(Dye; A reddish-orange cosmetic dye produced from the stalks and leaves
of henna plant) Henna for a man represents his working tools. It also means
adornment, money, prosperity, or children. If a man sees his hands dyed with
henna in a dream, it means that he keeps praising his Lord. If only the right
hand is dyed with henna but looks ugly in the dream, it means that he may
commit a murder. Dying one’s hands with henna in a dream also means
carelessness about exposing one’s good and bad qualities in public, or it could
mean that he delivers his merchandise or work in any condition without
acknowledging blame, fault, or recognizing his improper behavior with his
customers. If one’s hands are tattooed with henna in a dream, it means that he
cheats to acquire his earnings. Eventually, he will be exposed and his opponents
will rejoice at his misfortune. If a woman sees her entire body dyed with henna
in a dream, it means having a good relationship with her husband. If after
applying the henna to her hands, the dye does not work in a dream, it means
that her husband does not show his love for her. If only the fingers are dyed with
henna in a dream, they then represent branches of dates, or clusters of grapes.
In general, dyeing one’s hands and hair with henna as a makeup in a dream
represents joy for the husband and wife as long as they do not exceed the
common norms. (Also see Dye; Tattoo)

Swimming
(Employment; Knowledge; Prison) If a man of knowledge sees himself
swimming in the ocean in a dream, it means that he will attain his goals. If he
enters the water of the ocean then comes back to the shore in a dream, it means
that he will commence his path of seeking knowledge then abandons it.
Swimming in a dream also means going to jail. Swimming on sand in a dream
means that one may be incarcerated, that his living conditions in his jail will
be constricted, and that he will suffer in his prison from hardships equal to the
difficulties he encounters during his swim in the dream. If one sees himself
swimming inside his own house in a dream, it means that he will work for a
ruthless, wicked and an unjust employer who will entrap him in his service
through a business deal. Consequently, God Almighty will help him out of his
entanglements. If one is afraid of swimming in the dream, it means that he is
scared of someone in authority. If he runs away from swimming in a dream, it
means that he will escape from him. If one sees himself entering waters where
he can swim successfully in a dream, it means that he will engage in a major
project, lead an important job, or acquire authority and power. If one swims on
his back in a dream, it means that he will repent for a sin. If he swims in the
sea and finds its water stagnant in the dream, it means that he will serve
someone in authority, though his job will bringhim nothingbut trouble and the
wrath of his employer. If he still manages to cross the sea in his dream, it means
that he will escape from dangers his employment could inflict upon him. If he
swims with fear in a dream, it means trouble, imprisonment, or a sickness he
will endure depending on the type of needed efforts or distance he has to cross.
Should he think in the dream that he will not be able to make it, then it means
his death. If he shows courage during his swim in the dream, it means that he
will be able to escape from such a dangerous job. Troubled waters in a dream
mean adversities. Swimming successfully across troubled waters in a dream
means overcoming one’s adversities. Any sea or agitated waters in a dream
represent the authorities or the state, whether it be a swamp, a lake, a pond,
a sea, or an ocean. If one sees himself drowning in a river, or a lake, then if he
is carried by others and laid on dry land motionless like a fish in a dream, this
also means trials and adversities. If one is saved from drowningbefore he wakes-
up from his sleep in the dream, it means that he will triumph over his trials.
Otherwise, if he dies from it in the dream, it means that he may die from such
adversities. If during his swim one meets a ship that pulls him out of the waters,
or to which he holds or grabs, it also means escape from adversities. If one
drowns in the dream, it means that he may die as a martyr, though having
previously indulged in many sins. To walk on water, whether it is the sea or a
river in a dream means good spiritual standing, religious assiduousness and a
strong faith and determination. Walking on water in a dream also could be
interpreted as ascertaining something about which one may have doubt, or
placing one’s trust in God Almighty before embarking on a dangerous trip. (Also

is given some powdered kohl in a dream, it means money. If a righteous and God¬
fearing person places kohl on someone’s eyes in a dream, it means blessings and
guidance. Finding a container of kohl in a dream means receiving money.
Smearing one’s eyes with kohl in a dream means becoming more religious. If a
blind person smears his eyes with kohl in a dream, it means that he will
miraculously recover his sight. If one smears his eyes with a silver-white
powdered mixture or antimony in a dream, it means that he will have two wives.
If one coats his eyelids with butter or lather in a dream, it means that he is
pursuing an unlawful heterosexual, or a loathsome homosexual relationship.
Beautifying childrens’ eyes with other than kohl or antimony in a dream means
molesting them. If one uses kohl as medicine for his eyes in a dream, it means
that he will correct his religious performance and commit his life to a godly
cause. If his intention is made to beautify himself with kohl in the dream, it
means that he is seeking material success, or worldly promotion. If someone
smears one’s eyes with kohl to the degree of blinding him in the dream, it means
that he will defraud him of some money. If a virgin girl or a widow places kohl
over her eyelids in a dream, it means her marriage. Coating or encrusting one’s
eyes with blood or ashes in a dream means corruption and a non-acceptable
marriage, or an illegal marriage. (Also see Makeup)

boat represents profits and benefits. To sail on an unknown boat or to pilot a boat
or to give orders to sailors who are operating it in a dream means marriage to
a woman from a country to which the boat belongs, or it could mean doing
business in that land. To ride on a ferryboat in a dream means receiving God’s
benevolence and kindness in crossing over danger. A boat in a dream also
represents one’s relatives. Thus, whatever atmospheric conditions the skies
exhibits during the crossing or during a journey by boat, they will manifest in
one’s family. In a dream, a fireboat means dispelling anxieties, overcoming
distress and adversities. (Also see Carpenter; Helm; Ship)

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
also represents the rock hearted man, and the steel represents his might. On
the other hand, if one strikes a flint stone with a piece of steel and produces
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
wife will become pregnant or perhaps it could represent a fight between the
husband and the wife, or a fight between two partners. If the sparks burn one’s
gown in the dream, it means that harm will affect that house and such harm will
bring about losses in money, family honor or bodily injury. If the sparks burn
a notebook in the dream, it means deviation from God’s path.

camel’s meat in a dream means earning money from a ruler. Beef in a dream
means hardships, toiling and lack of work. Holding a mutton inside one’s house
in a dream means meeting with a new person, accepting an invitation, or

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,
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

one sees in a dream that one of the companions of God’s Messenger, upon whom
be peace, his followers or their successors entering a town or locality that is

recting one of the companions, their followers or successors in a dream, it means
that he will revive his practices and traditions. If one sees himself turned into
one of the known righteous companion or followers of God’s Prophet, upon whom
be peace in a dream, it means trials in one’s life to equal the exalted station of

Apricot
(Fruit) In season, seeing an apricot in a dream means money. Seeing
apricot out of season in a dream means illness. A fruitbearing apricot tree in a
dream represents a rich man. However, it is said that an apricot tree in a dream
also represents someone who suffers from a serious illness, and is of little or no
use to others. On the other hand, it is said that an apricot tree in a dream
represents someone with a cheerful face, who is courageous in defends himself,
but who is stingy with his own family. When the apricot is still green and
unripened in the dream, it represents little money. When it ripens and becomes
yellow in adream, it denotes greater profits. Eating a ripened apricot in a dream
means being generous and charitable, or it could mean recovering from an
illness. Breaking a branch from an apricot tree in a dream means a dispute with
one’s family or with a friend. In general, breaking a branch from a tree in a
dream means claiming someone’s money or denying him his money, or it could
mean failing to perform one’s prayers, neglecting one’s obligatory fast or
misusing and damaging someone else’s property. Attending an apricot farm in
a dream means trustworthiness and dutifulness. It is also said that an apricot
tree in a dream represents a hypocrite, because yellow in a dream means illness,
and hypocrisy is an illness. An apricot tree in a dream also represents a wealthy
woman. Plucking apricots from a tree in a dream also could mean marrying such
a woman. Harvesting any fruitbearing tree in season in a dream means
pleasures and work, except for the mulberry tree, for here it means toiling,
hardship or waste of time. Plucking apricots from an apple tree in a dream
means impressing unjust rules upon others. In general, a yellow colored fruit

Sprout
(Garden greens; Leguminosae) A fresh sprout in a dream means distress,
but if it is dry, then it means a good harvest, or clean money which is earned
with joy. If one sees himself gathering a bunch of green sprouts in a dream, it
denotes a warning. If one recognizes its substance in his dream, interpreting the
element then goes back to its innate quality. Entering into a field of sprouts in
a dream means a marriage into the family who owns that farmland, or it could
mean a business partnership. If one sees himself bartering green sprouts for
bread in a dream, it means aversion to poverty. Eating cooked sprouts in a
dream means benefits in every respect. If one sees himself in a dream exchanging
quails and manna (See Manna) for green sprouts and garlic, it means that he

(Giving birth) Seeing one’s wife giving birth to a son in a dream when
in fact she is not pregnant means wealth. If a pregnant woman sees herself
giving birth to a girl in a dream, it means a boy, and if she gives birth to a boy
in the dream, it means a girl. Giving birth to a girl means relief from distress,
while giving birth to a boy in the dream means distress and worries. If a sick
person sees his mother giving birth to him in a dream, it means the approach
of his death, for a deceased person is wrapped in a shroud, while a newborn is
wrapped with a receiving cloth. If the person in question is poor, it means that
his financial conditions will change for the better, but if he is rich, it means
restriction of his earnings, for a child is dependent on others while his move¬

debts and repentance from sin. If a woman gives birth to a son in a dream, it
denotes the conclusion of her sufferings, glad tidings, payment of her debts or
repentance from sin. If she gives birth to a daughter in the dream, then it means
honor, prosperity and ease. If a poor man gives birth to a child in a dream, it
means prosperity. If he is rich, then it means distress. If he is unmarried, it
means a forthcoming marriage, so that his future wife will give the birth he saw
in his dream. In general, if a man sees himself giving birth in a dream, it means
his death or the death of a relative, or it could mean experiencing poverty. As

Slippers in a dream represent property, protection, a ring, or preventing evil
happening. Wearing a pair of slippers in a dream also means a journey, or
travelling by sea, or it could mean buying a new vehicle. Tight slippers in a
dream means tightness in one’s livelihood, entanglements, or being pursued by
debt collectors. Removing one’s slippers in a dream means putting an end to
one’s strains. Wearing embroidered slippers coupled with a shawl over one’s
shoulders in a dream means increase in one’s wealth and respect. Wearing them
in the winter is more beneficial then wearing them in the summer where they
mean distress. Seeing one’s slippers on fire or if they fall into a well in a dream
may mean the death of one’s wife. In a dream, a pair of new slippers that are
elongated like a boat means tight circumstances and debts. Slippers in a dream
also represent money which is earned from a foreign country or from an import
and export business. If slippers in a dream are interpreted to mean protection,
then losing them in a dream could mean loss of one’s job. If they are interpreted
to mean religion, then losing them in a dream means relief from difficulties, or
an end to one’s trials. Wearing a pair of simple slippers in a dream means taking
a trip to a distant place, or a marriage to a young virgin. If one’s slippers are
worn-out in a dream, it means that one may marry an unwed woman or a widow.
Losing a slipper in a dream means losing half of one’s assets. Finding a pair of
lost slippers in a dream means occupying oneself with worldly business rather
than serving one’s benefits in the hereafter, or it could mean delinquency in
attending one’s religious duties. Wearing wooden slippers in a dream means
repentance from sin, engaging in an argument, acquiring knowledge, or exposing
a secret one would rather conceal from others. Walking with glass slippers in
a dream means being a hypocrite and a bad companion whose friendship does
not last, and whoever befriends someone wearing glass slippers in a dream will
suffer from adversities and hardships because of him. (Also see Wooden clogs)

King
(God Almighty; Governor; Mayor; President; Royalty; Sultan) The true King
is God Almighty. If the king is pleased with someone in a dream, it means that
God Almighty is pleased with him, and if the king is angry with him in the
dream, it means that God Almighty is displeased with him. If one sees the king
frowning in a dream, it means that he fails to properly perform his prayers or
show true religious devotion. If one sees him smiling in a dream, it means profits
in one’s material as well as spiritual life. If one sees that God Almighty has
appointed him as a king over a land, it means that he will receive such a regency,
should he qualify. Later on, unrest will bring tyrants, or dictators to justice,
while people of knowledge and piety will survive and regain their authority. If
one sees himself as a calif or as an Imam in a dream and should he qualify, it
means that he will receive such an honor, rank, trust and fame in the land,
though his vice-regency will not become hereditary. However, it is a bad omen
if he becomes a calif in the dream and does not qualify for such an appointment.
In such a case, and by contrast, he will be humiliated and dispersed, and his own
helpers will become his superiors, while his enemies will rejoice at his misfortune.
If one sees himself as a king in a dream, though in reality he does not qualify,
it means that he may die quickly, and the same is true if a sick person sees
himself turned into a king. If he is healthy, it means that someone in his family
may die shortly. Seeing a king in a dream also denotes exposing hidden secrets.
If a philosopher or a fortuneteller sees himself transformed into a king in a
dream, then it denotes glad tidings should he not complain about it in his dream.
If a slave sees himself becoming a king in a dream, it means that he will be set
free. If one sees himself becoming one of the great kings of this world in a dream,
it means that he will attain worldly success in his life, though it will be
accompanied with religious failure. If the person is a natural con artist, it means
that he will be captured and imprisoned. If a man sees himself awarded a
knighthood that is suitable only for woman, then it means his death. If one sees
the kingreprimandinghim in a dream, it means peace between them. If one sees
himself arguing a case with knowledge and wisdom before a king in a dream,
it means that he will win his case and receive what he came for. If one sees
himself complaisant with the king about his case in the dream, it means that
he will lose his case and the judgment will go the king’s way. If one sees himself
walking with a king and rubbing shoulders with him in the dream, it means that
he will oppose the king or disobey him. If he sees himself following the king in
a dream, it means that he will pursue the king’s traditions during his lifetime
or after his death. If one enters the king’s palace prostrating in a dream, it means
that he will be appointed in a leadership position and receive the king’s pardon.
If one sees himself mixing with the king’s harem, or sleeping with them and
should there be signs of comfort, trueness, or wisdom in his act in the dream,
it means that he will enter the king’s inner circles. Otherwise, should he in the
dream fear the consequences of what is happening, or if he lacks trueness, or
if he slanders them, or indulges in what is unlawful for him to do, then should
he reach the king’s door, it means that he will triumph against his enemies
inside that palace, and they can cause no harm to him. If in his dream, the king
gives him a gift, it means that he will win victory and honor in his life to equal
the value of that gift. If the king gives him a brocaded silk garment in the dream,
it means that he will give him a wife from the royal family. If the king speaks
to someone in a dream, it means honor, fame, wealth after poverty, release from
jail, expansion of one’s business, or victory over one’s enemy. If an appointed
governor sees himself looking into a mirror in a dream, it means that he will be
dismissed from his post. If an appointed king sees someone who looks like him
sitting in his throne in a dream, it means that he will beget a son. If he divorces
his wife in a dream, it means that he will abdicate his throne. To see oneself
sleeping with the king in the same bed and without a curtain between them, and
if the king leaves the bed while one remains resting therein in the dream, it
means that his mixing with the king will incur jealousy, or that he will inherit
him. If one leaves the bed before the king, it means that he will escape from a
great danger. If one sees himself sleeping alone in the king’s bed in a dream, it
means that he will marry a woman from the governing family, or that he may
spend from his own money for the sake of a woman in that palace. If the bed is
in the palace though unknown in the dream, it means that he will become a
member of that government. If a king hears his subjects praising him in a dream,
it means that he will show good qualities. If his subjects shower him with money
in a dream, it means that they speak ill of him or cast blame at him. If they
shower him with sugar in the dream, it means they speak nicely of him, and if
they shower him with stones in the dream, it means that they will speak harshly
of him. If one sees the people paying obeisance and bowing to him in a dream,
it means that they will stand humbly before him. If they prostrate themselves
before him in a dream, it means that they truly praise him. If a king sees himself
following the opinion of a woman in a dream, it means that he will lose his
kingdom or fall victim to depression, or that he will be thrown into jail. If he
opposes her in the dream, it means that he will escape from a great danger. If
a king sees himself walking in a dream when a common subject comes near him
and whispers something in his ear, the commoner here represents the angel of
death ‘Izrail, and it means that the king may die a sudden death. Eating from
the hand of one’s servant in a dream represents the growing of one’s authority,
increase of his business, knowledge, or wisdom. If a king sees himself preparing
a banquet for guests in a dream, it means that his opponents will come to argue
their case, though he will win over them. If he sees himself placing food on the
table in a dream, it means that a messenger will come to see him concerning a
dispute. If the food is sweet, then the problem will end nicely. If the food is
greasy, then the problem will be a lasting one. Sour food then means steadfastness.
Eating on the table of a just and a righteous king in a dream means blessings
and honor. If the king is seen walking alone in the markets in a dream, it means
that he is a humble, just, and a strong ruler. A sick king in a dream represents
weakness in his faith and injustice toward his subjects. If the king is carried over
people’s shoulders in a dream, it means lack of faith and lack of attendance to
one’s religious obligations, or weakness in his ruling. If the king dies and does
not get buried in a dream, it means that the king and his subjects are deviates.
If he is buried and the people walk away from his grave in the dream, it means
that one will pursue something of no benefit, unless God Almighty decrees
otherwise. If one sees the king’s head transformed into a ram’s head in a dream,
it means that the king is a just and a kind ruler. If his head is transformed into
a dog’s head in the dream, then it represents his vile nature. If his chest turns
into a stone in the dream, it means that his heart will become like a rock. If one
sees his own hand turn into the king’s hand in a dream, it means that he will
receive a leadingjob. If one sees the king flying with wings in a dream, it means
that his authority will spread. If his fingers increase in shape or number in the
dream, it means that his greed and injustice will manifest. Any dream about a
deceased king will manifest in his successors or in his progeny.

(God strengthened) Seeing God’s prophet Ezekiel, upon whom be peace,
in a dream means that one will receive the station of guardianship and trust.

Kaaba
(God’s house in Mecca.) In a dream, the holy Kaaba represents the calif
of all Muslims, his chief minister, a leader of a country, or it may represent a
wedding. Seeing the holy Kaaba in a dream also means that one may enter it,
or it could mean receiving glad tidings and dispelling evil. Praying inside the
holy Kaaba in a dream means enjoying the guardianship and protection of
someone in authority, and safety from one’s enemy. Entering inside the holy
Kaaba in a dream means entering before a ruler. Taking something from inside
the holy Kaaba in a dream means receiving something from the ruler. If one of
the walls of the holy Kaaba crumbles in a dream, it means the death of the Calif
or the local governor. Entering the holy Kaaba and failing to perform any of the
prescribed rites in a dream means standing before God Almighty on the Day of
Judgment having performed one’s obligations, or it could mean repenting from
one’s sins. To look at the holy Kaaba in a dream means safety and protection
against fear. If one is given a job in Mecca in a dream, it means that he may
become an Imam. Stealing anything from the holy Kaaba in a dream means
committing a sin. Walking toward the holy Kaaba, or seeking it in a dream
means correcting one’s religious standing. Seeing oneself in Mecca mixing with
departed souls who are inquiring from him about the world in a dream means
to die testifying to the Oneness of God Almighty and to the prophethood of His
Messenger, upon whom be peace. Seeing the Kaaba inside one’s own house in
a dream means that one is still in power and living with grace. If the holy Kaaba
does not look right in one’s eyes in the dream, then it means adversities. If one
sees the holy Kaaba as his own house in a dream, the holy Kaaba then
represents the Imam of all Muslims who is the representative and vice-regent
of God’s Messenger (uwbp), and it means that one truly follows the Imam.
Praying on top of the holy Kaaba in a dream means becoming an apostate.
Entering the holy Mosque in Mecca and praying on the roof of the holy Kaaba
in a dream represents peace, tranquility, presiding over others, it also means
that one will become victorious wherever one goes, though with a questionable
conduct, he also may follow innovation and depart from the traditions and
teachings of God’s Messenger, upon whom be peace. Walkingby the holy Kaaba,
or leaving it behind in a dream means going against the traditions of God’s
Prophet, upon whom be peace, following the path of innovation, or interpreting
things according to one’s own mind and liking. If one sees angels descending
from the heavens to lift away the pillar of God’s House from Mecca and place
it in a different town in the dream, it means that people have gone astray and
the time of destruction has come. It also means that the pillar of the faith, the
righteous guide of the believers and God’s vice-regent on earth Al-Mahdi will
soon emerge to dwell in that town. If one sees the holy Kaaba burning in a
dream, it means that one has neglected or abandoned his prescribed prayers.
Any changes, decrease or increase in the shape of the holy Kaaba, moving of it
away from its place, or changing its look in a dream will reflect upon the Imam,
or the guide of all Muslims. Circumambulating the holy Kaaba or performing
any of the prescribed rites in a dream means walking the path of righteousness,
or correcting one’s religious life as much as one does in his dream. Failure to
perform some of the prescribed rites that are associated with being at the holy
Ka‘aba in a dream indicates one’s deviation from God’s path, and such innovation
is equal to changing the direction ( arb. Qiblah ) of one’s prayers. The holy Kaaba
in a dream also represents one’s prayers, for it is the focal point of all praying
Muslims. The holy Kaaba in a dream also represents God’s House, a mosque,
a community center of all Muslims, and it represents a teacher, a guide, Islam,
the holy Quran, the prophetic traditions, one’s son, a religious scholar, a shaikh,
a master, a husband, one’s mother, and the heavenly paradise. The holy Kaaba
is God’s House, and thereat people will be gathered and led into paradise. The
holy Kaaba in a dream also represents the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, the
gathering of believers, the local markets and the vicinity of the holy Mosque. If
one sees that his own house has become the Kaaba and people are seeking it
and crowds are gathering at his door in a dream, it means that he will be
endowed with wisdom, gain knowledge and act upon it, and that people will
learn at his hand and follow his example. Performing some of the required rites
at the holy Kaaba in a dream also means that one may work for someone in
authority, or serve a man of knowledge, a shaikh, a renunciate, one’s father,
one’s mother, or it could mean that one has a master who demands clarity, true
following and hard-work from his students and disciples. (Also see Circum-
ambulation; Entering Paradise; Gutter of Mercy)

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)

Noah
(God’s prophet Noah, upon whom be peace.) In a dream, God’s prophet Noah
(uwbp) represents longevity, adversities, sufferings, triumph, children from a
disgraceful wife, though one will remain content and grateful to God Almighty
for His gift. It is said that one who sees the prophet Noah (uwbp) in a dream will
become a scholar, an assiduous worshipper and an obedient servant who
exercises patience and forbearance. He will also triumph over his enemies and
receive a magnificent endowment from his Lord. His companions will disobey
him and by God’s leave, he will win over them too. Seeing God’s prophet Noah
(uwbp) in a dream also means rain and floods. Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream
also means suffering from many enemies, and from the jealousy and envy of
one’s neighbors. At the end, they will all suffer from God’s punishment, and he
will be saved from their evil. Seeing God’s prophet Noah (uwbp) in a dream also
signifies the destruction of the unbelievers and the victory of the believers. If
one sees him in a ship in a dream, it means that such a ship will escape from
destruction, or that all its people will be saved from drowning. Seeing God’s
prophet Noah (uwbp) in a dream also means facing a strong army of unbelievers,
their blatant attitudes, their verbal and physical abuse of the believers, and
their unrestrained persecution of the physically weak among them. It also
denotes the weakness of people’s faith and their lack of trust in God Almighty.
Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also means spending a lifetime in devotion and
servitude to one’s Lord, commanding good and forbidding evil. If a ruler sees
God’s prophet Noah (uwbp) in a dream, it means that his subject will disobey
him. Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also means crying and lamentation, disputes
with one’s family, rising prices, relief from distress, adversities and having
recalcitrant children. Seeing him in a dream also represents a flourishing
business, farming, a ship building industry, travelling with several types of
food, or mixing different species of animals. God’s prophet Noah (uwbp) in a
dream also may represent a genealogist, a zoologist, a botanist, a phytologist,
a horticulturalist, an ecologist, or a mammalogist. Seeing God’s prophet Noah
(uwbp) in a dream also may mean regretting something, distress, penitence for
an attitude toward one’s own family, or perhaps that one’s son will stray away
from God’s path, or it could mean the death of a son because of his disobedience
to his father. If a woman sees God’s prophet Noah (uwbp), or God’s prophet Lot
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that she is disobedient to her husband, and rather
she obeys her own family and clan. On the other hand, if a woman sees Egypt’s
Pharaoh in a dream, it means that she is a true worshiper and an obedient
believer in God Almighty.

Solomon
(God’s prophet Solomon, upon whom be peace.) God Almighty subju¬
gated the wind to serve the prophet Solomon. Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream
denotes leadership, the seat of a judge, acquiring wisdom, or giving religious
interpretations if the person who sees him in a dream qualifies. This vision
becomes stronger if the Prophet Solomon crowns the person, or places a ring on
his right hand, or sits him beside himself on his throne. Seeing him (uwbp) in
a dream also means overcoming adversities and hardships, and receiving a

Zikr
(Hymn; Remembrance of God; Songs of God’s love; Supplications) If one sees
himself in a dream participating in a circle of people remembering God Al¬
mighty, or calling upon His most beautiful name, or invoking His divine
attributes, or reading the Quran, or reciting devotional songs, it means that
such location will be built as a holy place to celebrate God’s praises. The
goodness of that place depends on the quality of reading, or the degree of
devotion seen in the dream. When it is an ascetic song in the dream, it means
that one’s deputyship is established correctly, but if one sees himself singing
a sensual love song, then it means temptations. If one sees himself repeatedly
calling God’s name in a dream, it means that he will win victory over his enemy.
Calling people to God and reminding them of His attributes in a dream
represents the work of a preacher who admonishes people, helps them to the
shore of safety, and distances them from their sins and their consequences. If
a merchant sees himself callingupon God’s beautiful names in a dream, it means
that his business will be saved from bankruptcy. If a disbeliever, a profane or
a secular person sees himself in a state of remembering God Almighty and
calling upon His most holy attributes in a dream, it means that he may fall sick,
or face great adversities, while in his heart, he will remain pleading with God
Almighty for mercy and relief, though he may remain silent in public regarding
his inner faith, and in fear of being ridiculed by his own circles. If during his
dream one speaks words of truth and wisdom, it means that he will recover from
his adversity and be cured from his illness. Furthermore, he will move into a
more comfortable life and begin a life of sharing and doing good deeds in this
world, or he may receive guidance and light, and faith will permeate his heart.
If one says his prayers with a twang in a dream, it means that he will linger in
difficulties, and that people will mock him too. (Also see Supplications)

Hail
(Icy rain) In a dream, hail means calamity, sufferings, hunger, loss of
property, poverty, mass persecution, or torture. In nature, this element cools the
earth and eliminates many harmful insects, worms or scorpions and limits the
danger of snakes. Thus, seeing hail in its proper season in a dream means
eliminating the source of one’s stress and overcoming one’s difficulties, enemies,
or jealous competitors. Seeing hail in the summertime in a dream means
business losses, but if it falls in the winter in a dream, it means success and
prosperity. Heavy falling hail in a dream means destruction of businesses,
interruption of communication and damage to roads and highways. In that
sense, hail in a dream means obstruction of public interests. In a dream, hail
also represents a strange type of business that will come from the direction of
the wind carrying such a storm. If no harm occurs in one’s dream, then hail
represents glad tidings and especially if people start collecting it in bowls. If hail
falls over a farmland without damaging it in a dream, it means a good harvest.
If one gathers hail in his garment, or inside a cloth in a dream, it means that
he will lose his riches, or it could mean the loss of an awaited shipment. (Also

Statue
(Idol) A statue in a dream represents falsehood, inventions, make-shift,
fiction, illusion, heedlessness, or a nice looking person who is full of deception.
Worshipping a statue in a dream means lying to God Almighty, or that one
worships what his mind tells him to worship, whether it is a physical object or
a child of one’s imagination. If it is acarved wooden statue in the dream, it means
that he ingratiates himself to rich people, or to an unjust person in authority
through his religion. If the statue is built from wood in the dream, it means that
one seeks religious arguments or disputes. If the statue is made of silver in the
dream, it means that one elicits sexual relationship with his servant, or with
a foreign woman, or perhaps just a friendship. If the statue is made of gold in
the dream, it means that one may commit an abominable action, or a religious
inequity, or seeks profits from someone at the expense of displeasing God
Almighty and consequently, one will suffer financial losses or health problems.
If the statue combines mixed material of bronze, copper, steel, iron, or lead in
the dream, it means that such a person uses his religious garb to make profits,
and that he often forgets about his Lord. A statue in a dream also means travels.
Seeing a golden or a silver statue in a dream also could mean prosperity. Seeing
a bronze statue of a young woman moving around in a dream means a good
harvest, prosperity, or travels. If the statue is bigger than life-size, then it
means a fright. Statues in a dream also represent one’s children, his sexual
drive, or his determination. If one sees himself worshiping a statue in a dream,
it means that he is engaged in falsehood, giving preference to his personal
desires and passions over obeying his Lord’s commands. If one sees himself
worshiping a golden statue in a dream, it means that he will solicit business
from someone who worships God Almighty, though he will also suffer losses
from such an association. It also means that he will lose his investment and it
will show the weakness of his faith. If one sees himself worshiping a statue made
of silver in the dream, it means that he uses his religion to make business out
of it, or to betray others through it, or that he will solicit the help of someone
to do evil, or that he may sexually abuse a young girl who trusts his religious
appearance. If one sees a statue and does not associate it with worship, or if
he does not see anyone worshiping it in his dream, his dream then represents
financial gains. A statue in a dream also means to be enamored with a woman
or a boy. Statues in a dream also could mean deafness, idiotic behavior,
dumbness, attachment to anything in this world, making an idol out of it, such
as one’s love and attachment to his position, status, business, wife, beloved,
house, or child, etcetera. If one owns a statue in a dream, it means that he may
marry a deaf, or a dumb, or a non-intelligent woman, or that he may beget a child
who will grow up having one or more of these defects. In whatever condition one
sees the statue in his dream, it will reflect on any of the above. A statue in a
dream also represents a generation. If the statue is missing something in the
dream, such defect will definitely manifest in one’s society. Seeing a statue in
a dream also could reflect one’s strength and determination. If one breaks a
statue, or lames it, or damages it in a dream, it means that he will vanquish his
enemy and earn rank and fame. If the statue in the dream portrays a particular
woman, or if it is interpreted to represent a specific woman, then she will be
quiet, intelligent and serene, or it could mean that she is stupid and has pride.

Supplication
(Imploring; Invocations) In a dream, supplications represent worship,
a special prayer, or asking for a specific need. Invocations in a dream mean that
one’s needs are satisfied. If one’s supplications are done under dire need, or if
they involve strong emotions, sobbing or grief in the dream, then they represent
trying moments in one’s life, or they could mean temptations. Loud or solemn
supplications in a dream may indicate a special prayer for rain. If the suppli¬
cations do not call for God’s favors, or if they are not directed toward Him in the
dream, then they represent falsehood. If the supplications are silent in the
dream, they could mean that one will beget a blessed son. If one sees a group
of people gathering in a circle of prayers, or doing Zikr and invoking the divine
attributes in a dream, then they represent a gathering of children, growth,
blessings, or waiving away sufferings. If one sees himself praying to God
Almighty, or that prayers are invoked on his behalf in a dream, it means
happiness and money. Supplications in God’s house or in a mosque in a dream
are more beneficial than prayers which are offered anywhere else. If one prays
in the dark in a dream, it means that he will be saved from trials. If one sees
himself imploring another person in a dream, it means that he fears him. (Also
see Prayers; Zikr)

Amulet
(Incantation; Prayer; Talisman; A prayer worn around the neck or
cherished to word off evil and attract good fortune.) When a prayer is read in
a dream following the prophetic traditions to help a sick person in the dream,
it means protection from sufferings, dispelling distress and dissipation of
sadness. If the amulet or the talisman carries a personal spell or wish, then it is nothing but lies, falsehood, affectation and hypocrisy. If the person who
recites the incantation in the dream is a craftsperson, it means that he defrauds
the people and fakes his product. If he is a man of knowledge, it means that he
lies or hides his true knowledge, abstains from giving true advice, or perhaps
he offers a poor quality of worship. If the one reciting the incantation in the
dream is a judge, it means that he will give a wrong judgement. If one is given
to drink some water over which specific prayers were recited in a dream, it
means longevity. If one sees himself reciting an incantation, or if he hears
incantations recited on his behalf in a dream, it will all be false except for a
prayer that recites: ‘In the Name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compas¬
sionate’ or contains a Quranic revelation.

tongue in a dream represents one’s life or death, because for an animal, his

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

One’s tongue in a dream also may represent something one fears, such as the

Arabic months
(Lunar months: 1- Muharram; 2- 3- Rabi-'uIAwal; 4- Rabi'u
Thani'; 5-Jamadul Awwal; 6- Jamadu Thani'; 7- Rajab; 8- Sha'ban; 9- Ramadan;
10- Shawwal; 11- Zul-Qi'dah; 12- Zul-Hiliah) Seeing a dream during the month of Muharram means that the dream is most true as it is seen. Thus, having a
dream during the month of Muharram could be even called a vision and it never
fails. Such a dream means success, relief from difficulties, release from a prison,
or recovering from an illness. If the person had retreated from his town, he will
return to it. This interpretation is based on the story of God's prophet Jonah,
upon whom be peace, after he emerged from the belly of the whale. Perhaps the
person in the dream may face a great spiritual challenge in his life, or it could
mean the death of a great man of knowledge or the emergence of such a gnostic
or wise man in that city. If the person seeing the dream is a sinner, it means that
he will repent of his sins, for God Almighty has accepted the repentance ofAdam,
upon whom be peace, during that month. If the person in the dream is one who
hopes for a station of honor, he will attain it, because God Almighty has raised
the prophet Enoch (Idrls) upon whom be peace, to a high station during that
month. If a traveller sees a dream during that month, it means that he will safely
return home from a long journey, because it is the month in which the prophet
Noah upon whom be peace, was saved with his people, and it is the month in
which the arc settle on top of Mount Judiyyi. If the seer desires a son, then he
will beget a righteous son, because it is the month in which God's prophets
Abraham and Jesus, upon both of them be peace, were born. If the person seeing
the dream is suffering from tight financial circumstances and if he desired a way
out, it means that he will see the light or escape from the danger of his enemy,
because this is the month in which God's prophet Abraham was saved from the
fire ofNimrod, or perhaps, ifhe had followed a path of innovation and falsehood,
he will turn back to God Almighty and repent of his sin, because it is also the
month in which God Almighty forgave the prophet David, upon whom be peace.
If the person in the dream is impeached from his leadership position or stripped
from his status, he will return to his office and regain honor, because it is also
the month in which God Almighty returned the prophet Solomon to his kingdom.
If one is bedridden, it means that he will recover from his illness, because it is
the month in which the prophet Job (uwbp) recovered from his illness, or
perhaps it could mean that one will be sent as an emissary with a mission, or
as an ambassador, because it is during this month that God Almighty spoke to
His prophet Moses upon whom be peace. As for the second lunar month, known
in Arabic as Safar, having a dream during it could be interpreted as follows: If
one is pessimistic about what he saw, then it could mean the opposite. If he is
sick, it means recovering from his illness. If one is needy, it means that his needs
will be satisfied. If one is suffering from stress and worries, it means that they
can cause him no harm. If one sees his dream during the third lunar month,
known in Arabic as Rabt-rul Awwal, and if he is a merchant, it means that his
business will grow, prosper and that his money will be blessed or perhaps he may
conceive a child during that month. If he is under stress and worries, they will
be dispelled. Ifhe is persecuted or treated unjustly, he will end in a triumph,
or it could mean that he will hear good news, or he may be appointed as a
governor, or he may admonish people to do good and discard evil, for it is the
month in which God's Prophet Muhammad, upon whom be peace, was born to
this world. If one's dream takes place during the fourth lunar month, known in
Arabic as Rabi'u Thiini, and if it suggests glad tidings, then one may have to
wait and exercise patience, but ifit suggests evil, then such happening will come
fast. During this month, seeing a dream also means victory over one's enemy,
or it could mean conceiving a blessed son who will grow to become a gnostic, or
a hero, for it is during this month that the Imam 'Ali, may God bless his
countenance and be forever pleased with him was born. As for the fifth lunar
month, known in Arabic as Jamiidul Awwal, seeing a dream during this month
means that one should slow down or scrutinize his buying and selling, or it could
mean that he may lose his daughter or wife, for it is in this month that the daughter of God's Messenger, upon whom be peace, Fatima died. May God. be
forever pleased with her. If the dream happens during the sixth lunar month,
known in Arabic as Jamadu Thaw, and if the dream carries a good meaning,
it will come, but slow and one should not contradict it. If one sees this dream
during the seventh lunar month, known in Arabic as Rajab, it means that he
will gain honor and status, for it is the month of the prophet's Ascension (Mi'raj)
and his night journey to the seventh heaven. A dream during the eighth lunar
month, known in Arabic as Sha'ban, represents honor and ranks, for during
this month, every good deed will be honored. As for the ninth lunar month,
known in Arabic as Ramadan, in it, all difficulties will be suspended, evil will
be shun and stinginess will be dispelled. During this month all what is good will
manifest and bad dream will dissipate to become null and void. During this
month, the dreams of a believer may be differently interpreted than the dream
of a disbeliever. If one sees the month of Ramadan in his dream, his dream
means blessings, profits, commanding good and forbidding evil. If the person is
seeking knowledge, then knowledge will be given to him, for it is during this
great month that the Holy Qur'an was revealed. If the person is inflicted with
epilepsy, he will recover from it, for the devils and all evil spirits are shackled
and are rendered powerless during this month. As for the tenth lunar month,
known in Arabic as Shawwal, if one's dream suggests a war or a conflict, it
means that he will come first in it, and that he will triumph. If one sees the
month of Shawwal in his dream, it means that he will come out of difficulties
and finds happiness and devotion, for it is the month during which that God's
House, known as the Ka'aba was built. As for the eleventh lunar month, known
in Arabic as Zul-Qi'dah, if one's dream suggests a trip, then the person should
refrain from taking that trip or perhaps he should delay it for the better. He also
should guard himself where he lives. If the dream denote stress or worries, then
he should avoid whatever may cause them. However, if one's dream takes place
during the twelfth lunar month, known inArabic as Zul-Hijjah indicates a journey
then one may take it, or if it denotes a good business, one should seek it, for it
is a most blessed month and it is the month of festivities and sacrifices. If one
sees this month in his dream or sees himself offering sacrifices in it, or if he sees
himself praying the festival of Sacrifice prayers in it, his dream means paying
one's debts or fulfilling one's vows, repentance from sin, guidance or perhaps his
dream may indicate the death of great people of knowledge, the impeachment
of governors, the changing of governments, or it could mean a sudden war.

(Prophet David, upon whom be peace.) If one sees him in a dream, it means
that he will gain power, authority, commit a sin, become an ascetic, be tried and
oppressed by an unjust person, then he will be saved by God’s leave and regain
the upper hand over his enemy. He will also receive an exalted office or rank of
honor. It is also said, that if one sees the prophet David (uwbp) in a dream, that
his country or town will be governed by a just ruler, an honorable president or
a righteous judge. If in fact the ruler or the judge of that town, county or country
is an unjust person, then seeing God’s prophet David (uwbp) in a dream means
that God Almighty will surely replace him with a just and an honorable one. If
one becomes God’s prophet David (uwbp), or if he wears his robe in the dream
it means that he will be appointed as a judge, if he qualifies. If he does not
qualify, it means that he will prosper, or that he will grow in piety and become
righteous through much devotion, piety, sadness and crying in fear of his Lord
and love for Him. Seeing the prophet David (uwbp) in a dream also means
deputyship, trials with women, trouble caused by women, or it could mean

Almighty, prayers, supererogatory prayers at night, understanding the meaning
of what one reads, repentance from sin, chanting songs of God’s love, returning

him, or that his adversities will be of little importance. Seeing the prophet David
(uwbp) in a dream also means reaching a successful conclusion to one’s life in
this world. If an unjust man of knowledge sees him frowning at him or warning

Adultery
(Rape) Committing the abominable and forbidden act of adultery in a
dream means betrayal. If one sees himself doing so in a dream, it means that
he will betray his wife. An unknown woman is better here than a known woman.
Adultery in a dream also means theft. If one sees an adulteress soliciting him
for fornication in a dream it means that he might be lured to earn unlawful
money. If one commits adultery with ayoung and a beautiful woman in a dream,
it means that he will place his earnings in a well-guarded place or a coffer. If
a strong person commits adultery in his dream and if he had to face the divine
ordinance and chastisement for his sin in the dream, it means that his authority
will expand. If the person in the dream qualifies for leadership, then he will be
endowed with one. If one sees himself committing adultery with the wife of a
close friend in a dream it means that he will take some money from him. If one
reads the ruling of the divine ordinance concerning the punishment of adulterers
in a dream, it means that he is an adulterer. If one deals with an adulteress or
with a woman who has committed adultery in a dream, then such a woman
represents the world and its seekers. If a student on the path of God Almighty,
who is known to have piety, good conduct and who has the look of a believer sees
himself dealing with an adulteress or a woman who has committed adultery in
a dream, it means that he will join the company of a gnostic and learn wisdom
at his hand. If one sees a man and a woman sitting alone in an intimate setting
in his dream, and if he recognizes them, it means that he desires some worldly
interests from such a man. If a man sees himself raping a young woman in a
dream, it means that he hides his savings in an unknown place. If he is caught
after that, and if the divine ordinance is exacted in the dream, his dream means
that he will follow the path of knowledge and understanding of religious
jurisprudence. If one commits adultery with an adulteress in a dream, it means
that he will face severe trials. If one enters a brothel in his dream and finds it
impossible to leave that place, it means that he may die shortly. If one sees
himself sleeping with someone else’s wife, while the husband is not minding in
a dream, it means that the husband will entrust him with his home to manage.
If one marries an adulteress in a dream, it means that he is an adulterer. (Also

mother. Walking on the moon in a dream means endearment and love for one’s
mother. The sun and the moon in a dream represent one’s father and mother.

one’s wife is pregnant, and if he sees his resemblance reflected in the moon in
a dream, it means glad tidings of a son. If one is looking into the skies and he
suddenly sees the moon in his dream, it means that his enemies will be
subjugated to him. Holding the moon in a dream means receiving a gift from a
ruler or a rich person. If a ruler sees the moon dimmed in a dream, it means that
his subjects will rise against him. If the moon turns into a sun in a dream, it
means receiving honor and wealth from either one’s father or wife. The moon
in a dream also represents one’s wife, sons, daughters, sister, properties,
business, craft, a vessel, a ship, or it could mean travels. As for a sick person
or a traveller, seeing the moon in a dream means one’s destruction or death. If
the moon is veiled by clouds in the dream, it means a short sickness. Seeing the
moon through the clouds in a dream means losing one’s job. If a rich person sees
clouds covering the moon in a dream, it means losing his wealth. If the moon
speaks to someone in his dream, it means that he will receive a high ranking
appointment. If a pregnant woman sees herself trying to reach the moon with
her hand but to no avail in a dream, it means that she is wishing to have a son.
Prostrating oneself to the sun or the moon in a dream means committing an
awesome sin. If one sees the sun and the moon prostrating themselves before
him in a dream, it means that his father and mother are pleased with him. If
the moon splits in two halves in a dream, it means that harm will befall a great
person, or that a major sign will manifest to show the divine power in that
locality. If one sees a lunar eclipse, or if the moon becomes opaque, or turns
reddish in a dream, it means that major changes will take place in one’s life. The
moon in a dream also represents one’s bosom friend, an unjust governor, his
chief minister, his assistant, a gambler, an oath, recovering from an illness or
suffering from eye irritation. Seeing a full moon during the early days of the
lunar month, when it is supposed to be only a crescent in a dream means benefits
while the opposite means harm. The moon in a dream also represents a scholar,
an astrologer, an astronomer or a guide. Seeing the moon at its highest point
in a dream means honor and blessings while seeing it at its lowest point in a

Capricorn in a dream is a bad sign for construction or laying a foundation to
a structure, or for starting a business. Seeing the moon in the position of
Aquarius in a dream means bad time for sending messages or engaging in any

contracts and receiving a leadership position. If one sees the sun, the moon and
all the planets assembled before him, and together they all produced a radiant
and a magnificent light in a dream, it means that one’s words are respected by
people in authority. If the stars and the planets have no light in the dream, then
they mean a calamity. In a dream, seeing a sun and a moon on one’s right side
and the same on his left side, above him, in front of him and behind him means
a calamity and a defeat that will force one to retreat or to escape but to no avail.

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
joy. Taking abath with cold water in a dream means recovering from an illness.
A bathhouse in a dream also represents hell-fire, and the attendant represents
its keepers. A bathhouse in a dream also represents the judge’s court, and its
attendant represents the judge himself. A bathhouse in a dream also represents
a prison and its guard, the ocean and the ship pilot, the evil bawdy houses and
their dwellers, a woman and a pimp, or a cadet posing as her husband. If one
goes to a public bath, then after completing his wash wears a white garment,
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
prison, or a marketplace. It also represents repentance, guidance, richness,
healing, an ocean or marriage. If one sees himself taking a bath with his clothe
on in a dream, it means that he will fall prey to an attractive prostitute who will
deceive him and lead him to commit his religious life to waste. (Also see Bath;
Bathroom; Hell-fire; Turkish bath)

Fish
(Sea Life; Human being) In a dream, if their number is known, fish represent
women, but if their number is not known, then they represent money from a
doubtful source. If one sees a fish colony gathering at seabed, where he is fishing,
bringing them up and eating them raw as he pleases, or if he places them into
baskets and divides them into lots in the dream, it means that he will prosper
and invest his wealth in different ventures and savings plans. A whale in a
dream represents the minister of sea life, while the sea itself represents the king
or the country. A whale in a pond with his jaws opened in a dream represents
a prison. A large fish colony in a dream represents despised earnings, or earning
a large amount money one is accountable for its expenditure. Fishing in a well
means homosexuality, or it could represent someone who tries to tempt his
servant or his assistant to indulge in a loathsome act. If one sees himself fishing
in murky waters in a dream, it conveys evil, sorrows, or distress however it may
happen. If one sees himself fishing in clear waters in a dream, it means money
or hearing nice words or conceiving a son, while fishing in salty waters in a
dream means difficulties. If one sees himself fishing with a fishhook in a dream,
it means excitement, pleasure or losing benefits. A soft skin fish in a dream
means benefits for someone intending to trick or to swindle people’s money.
Mostly fishing with a pole and a fishhook in a dream means difficulties or slow
coming benefits, or a slow and loose business. Any large cyprinoid freshwater
fish or a barbel fish (cyprinus bynni; barbus ) in a dream denote positive benefits
for someone intending marriage or to enter into a business partnership. Seeing
a herring or any of its clupeid type fish in a dream represent evil work or toiling
for something one will never get. A fish in the pond in a dream is also a sign of
benefits, though may be little benefits. Seeing dead fish floating in the water in
a dream has an ominous connotation, or they could represent a hopeless case.
Taking fish from the water and eating them alivemeans profits, or an appointment
to a high raking position in wakefulness. In a dream, if a sick man or a traveller
finds fish in his bed it also connotes bad or a painful sickness or suffering from
arthritis, or he may drown because he would be sleeping with them. Seeing sea
fish covered with salt in a dream means lasting richness, because fish are
preserved in salt, or it could mean burdens. If one’s wife is pregnant and he sees
a fish coming out of his male organ in a dream, it means that his wife will beget
a son. If a fish comes out of his mouth, then it means speaking ill of a woman.
A fried fish in a dream means that one’s prayers will be answered. A broiled fish
in a dream means travels or seeking knowledge. A large fish in a dream means
money, while a small fish means difficulties, burdens and stress, because it
carries more spikes than meat, beside, small fish are more difficult to eat. Mixed
sized of different kinds offish in a dream represent money, trouble, liking social
events or mixing with all types of people, the good and the bad ones. Buying a
fish in a dream may mean marriage. Eating a rotten fish in a dream means
pursuing adultery and avoiding a lawful marriage. If one sees himself attempting
painstakingly to catch a whale in a small pond in a dream, it means money that
he will fight for, though he cannot get hold of it without having to cross major
obstacles. If one finds a pearl or two in the belly of a fish in a dream, it means
that he will marry a rich woman and conceives one or two sons with her. If he
finds a ring in the belly of the fish in a dream, it means that he will gain authority
and might. Finding fat in the belly of a fish in a dream means acquiring money
from a woman. Seeing oneself fishing on a dry land means committing adultery,
a sin, or it could mean hearing good news. Catching a fish with excessive bones
and scales denotes the necessity to pay one’s dues or to distribute alms tax on
one’s liquid assets, because one cannot enjoy his catch unless he first cleanse
it. Seeing sea fish swimming toward sweet waters, or river fish swimming
toward the sea in a dream means hypocrisy, falsehood or the rise of an innovator
or an impostor. If one sees fish swimming on the water surface in a dream, it
means ease in attaining his goals, exposing secrets, unveiling hidden past,
reviewing old books or redistributing an old inheritance. If one sees fish that
have the look ofhuman beings in a dream, it means business, trading or meeting
with an interpreter, or a translator, or associating with people of good character.
If such fish with a human face look beautiful, then one’s companions are good.
Otherwise, if the fish look ugly in the dream, then it means that he has
associated himself with evil companions. If one sees an aquarium in his house
filled with all types of catfish, or angelfish or similar fish that live in a home
aquarium in a dream, it means being charitable or taking care of orphans or
adopting children. If one sees himself reaching with his hand to the bottom of
the seabed to catch fish in a dream, it means that he will acquire extensive
knowledge in his profession and prosper from his trade. Otherwise, it could
mean that one will become a spy. If the sea opens and unveils its treasures, and
if one catches a goldfish from its belly in the dream, it means that God Almighty
will reveal new spiritual knowledge to him in order to help him understand his
religion and to receive guidance. If the goldfish leaves his hand and returns to
the sea in the dream, it means that he will join the company of righteous people
and saints from whom he will learn about the inner spiritual knowledge, or that
he will find a good companion for a journey he intends. If one eats a fish without
cleaning or cooking it in a dream, it means that he will speak ill of his own
friends, slander his associates, commit adultery, acquire money from trickery
and falsehood, or become inflicted with a dangerous disease or suffer from a
stroke. If one sees fish on the shore rather than in the water in a dream, it means
that he may change his profession. The different types of fish in a dream
represent human beings and their professions. A fish in a dream also could mean
that death will take place where it is found, because of the departure of its soul,
its stench, weight and one’s responsibility to bury the deceased. Eating a fish
in a dream also means receiving easy, lawful and enjoyable earnings. (Also see
Meat)

Vinegar
(Servant) In a dream, vinegar means money that is earned and spent in
piety with blessings contained therein, or it could mean longevity, or wasting
the least time possible in doing one’s work. Vinegar sediments in a dream
represent ignoble or evil money that carries meager benefits, or which is deemed
shoddy. In a dream, vinegar and its container represent a servant and her
dwellings. Drinking vinegar in a dream means enmity with one’s household, or
it could mean a family quarrel. As for a prisoner, drinking vinegar in a dream
means his release from prison. Good vinegar in a dream means income and
blessings, though when rarefied or stale, it means struggling to earn one’s
livelihood. It also means toiling to make ends meet, or it could mean hardships.

Mangy
(Skin disease of domestic animals; A bacterial disease) In a dream, mangy
represents pestilence or a plague. If one sees himself struck by such a disease
causing him to itch though no puss or malignant festering runs from his sores
in the dream, it means that his troubles and adversities are caused by his own
progeny or relatives. If one’s body is afflicted with mangy in a dream, it means
that his troubles will come from his friends or from his working environment.
If it strikes at his right hand or his cheek in a dream, then his adversities will
come from his clan. If it strikes at his left hand, then his troubles will come from
his business partner or brother. If his illness forms puss in the dream, it means
hard earned money that will also cause headache. Such a disease means money
for a poor person and it could mean leadership for a rich person. Following this
trail of thinking, mangy or any skin disease in a dream signify less harm
compared to other diseases. If an employees experiences such skin disorder in
a dream, it means that he does not qualify to work in that company. If it is one’s
son in the dream, it means that he will disobey his father concerning an
undesired friendship. If it is one’s wife in the dream, it means that she is engaged
in something awful that will bring shame to the entire family.

Connections
(Social acquaintance) To have important connections in a dream
means compelling one’s enemy to retreat or to accept one’s conditions. To have

of evil companions, or if he mingles with a band of conspirators.

Twisting a rope
(Splice; Entwine; Twine) To splice a rope or a thread, or to twist
a rope around oneself, or to whorl it around a spindle, or to make a bobbin in
a dream means undertaking a journey. If it comes out thin in the dream, then
the outcome of one’s journey is meager. If the rope comes out thick and strong
in the dream, it means that the outcome of one’s journey is beneficial. If the
twisting of the rope or the thread is easy in the dream, it means that one’s
endeavor is free from constraint. If one sees himself plucking the hair of his
beard and twisting it like a rope in a dream, it means that he will receive a bribe
to make a false testimony in court. Twisting a rope or a thread in a dream also
could mean signing a contract, establishing a partnership in a business, or

Suffocation
(Strangulation) Suffocating in a dream means that one has taken
upon himself a responsibility greater than what he can handle, or that he is
intimidated into accepting a heavy responsibility, or that he abused a trust or
a leadership position. If his suffocation is caused by an illness in the dream, then
it represents a chastisement for a sin or an injustice he has committed. If his
suffering increases to near strangulation and death in the dream, it means that
he is required to repay all the benefits he drew from holding such trust. If he
dies in his dream as a consequence of his suffocation, it means that he will lose
his battle with the owner and become poor. If he comes back to life after dying
in the dream, it means that in a while, God Almighty will reinstate him in his
position after his trying experience. He also may regain power and bring his
opponents to justice. (Also see Strangulation)

Heavens
(The eight heavens; Firmament; Planets; Skies) If one sees himself
dwelling in the lower heaven, and if he qualifies, it means that he will be
appointed at a ministerial office, or work for a minister in the government. This
is because the lower heaven is the sphere of the Moon and the moon is inter¬
preted as a chief minister or as a secretary. The second heaven is the sphere of
the planet Mercury. If one sees himself in the second heaven in a dream, it
means that he will acquire knowledge, diligence and writing style. In turn,
people will seek him to learn from him. The third heaven is the sphere of the
planet Venus. If one sees himself in the third heaven in a dream, it means that
he will prosper, or employ a female servants, or it could mean possessingjewelry

people. The fifth heaven is the sphere of the planet Mars. If one sees himself
in the fifth heaven in a dream, it means that he will preside or leads a police
squadron, a mountain patrol, a small army, a band of thieves, or manage a
brothel. The sixth heaven is the sphere of the planet Jupiter. If one sees himself
in the sixth heaven in a dream, it means that he will acquire deep spiritual
understanding, religious assiduousness, or become a judge, if he qualifies. He
also could become an ascetic, or a true worshiper and he will have strong faith,
good managerial ability, or he could become a treasurer. The seventh heaven is
the sphere of the planet Saturn. If one sees himself in the seventh heaven in
a dream, it means that he may buy a house, a property, a farmland, or it could
mean longevity. If one does not qualify to receive any of the above, then such
award will reach his superiors, or someone in his progeny, or a close friend. If
one sees himself standing beyond the seventh heaven in a dream, it means
exaltation, though his new station will be the direct cause of his death. (Also see
Mars; Jupiter; Skies)

and capture him. If one sees himself raising a wolfs cub in a dream, it means

trustworthiness and grow to become a good and a generous person. Seeing a wolf
in a dream also means receiving praises from one’s superior at work, or it could
represent profits from one’s job. If a wolf chases someone in a dream, it means
that the person will see happiness, or it could mean his martyrdom. A wolf in
a dream also represents the days of the year, or it could mean the four seasons.
If one turns into a gentle lamblike wolf in a dream, it means that he is a thief
who will repent for his sin. If one turns into a wolf in a dream, it means that he
will earn personal joy and happiness. Wolfs milk in a dream represents fear,
stress, or forfeiture of a project. A wolf in a dream also represents a tyrant, a
weak thief, or a liar. A clash with a wolf in a dream means a clash with a rival.
If a wolf and a dog make a pact of friendship in a dream, it means that one will

Leg
(Thigh; Limb) In a dream, one’s legs represent longevity, old age, or his source
of income. If one sees his legs turned into iron in a dream, it means that he will
live a long life. If they turn into glass in the dream, it means that he will die
shortly. If he sees his legs crossed in a dream, it means that he has neared the
term of his live, or that he is going to face a major challenge in his life, or that

debts, or that one may die in a prison. If one sees his leg twisted in a dream, it

wealth or his livelihood. In that sense, if one’s legs turn into iron in a dream,
it represents a lasting prosperity. If his legs turn into wood in a dream, it means
that he will grow weaker and unable to earn for himself. If one’s legs become
glass or pottery in a dream, it means that he may die shortly, and that his
property and wealth will be distributed to his heirs. If one finds his leg shorter
than usual in a dream, it means that he will lose some of his money. If one walks
on one foot in a dream, it means that he will lose half of his wealth. If both legs
are amputated in a dream, it means that he will lose everything he has. If one’s
leg seems fat in the dream, it denotes a good financial standing, or it could mean
buying a good car, or receiving a pleasing gift. If a woman sees herself having
hairy legs in a dream, it means humiliation or a trick that she will play before
her husband, or that her private life will become public knowledge, or that she
will receive spiritual guidance after that she lived in heedlessness. A leg in a
dream also denotes hardships. If one sees his legs banded or tide together in a
dream, it means fear, poverty and adversities. Exposing one’s legs in a dream
means abandoning prayers, and it could mean humiliation. Legs in a dream also

a religious garb and titles but lacks true piety. If one sees him besieged inside
his own house in a dream, it means that he will persecute and oppress a great
scholar or a man of God. Seeing him alive and dealing with people in a dream
means being chaste, pious, reverent and earning the jealousy of one’s own

displays truthfulness, knowledge and wisdom which is recognizable by the
person in the dream it means that he will receive good news. Seeing Jinn

A mare in a dream represents a noble woman. If one sees himself riding a
mare in a dream, it means that he may rape a chaste and a noble woman. In

Mountain
A mountain in a dream represents a great and a noble man who
possesses a strong and a commanding voice, who commands good administration
of his affairs and an excellent leadership. It also can be interpreted as a son, a
difficult and austere woman, or a businessman. If the mountain is rounded or
flat in the dream, it means difficulties or distress. A mountain in a dream also
could mean achieving one’s goal, a journey, or fulfilling a promise. If the
mountain is standing distinct from other mountains in the dream, the above
meanings become stronger. If the mountain has pasture and stores a source of
water, and if it is used as a permanent guarding post, then it represents a pious
ruler. However, if it stores no water, and if no pasture grows therein in the
dream, it represents a tyrant and a ruler who is an atheist, for in that case, it
is dead and does not glorify God Almighty, nor can people benefit from it. In a
dream, a mountain that stands high is alive, but a crumbling mountain which
has turned into a pile of rocks is dead. If a person sees himself climbing an erect
mountain, eating from its plants and drinking from its water, and if he qualifies
to govern, it means that he will be appointed to a governing post under the
auspices of a stringent ruler, though his subjects do receive benefits from his
government. The size of benefits the governor will acquire is equal to the
quantity of food and the measure of water he drinks from it in his dream. If the
person is a merchant or a business man, a mountain in his dream represents
profits and earning a good reputation. If climbing the mountain is easy, then
there are no benefits in that climbing in the dream, for there are no benefits
without hardships. If at the end of his climbing one thanks God Almighty for
what he has reached in the dream, it means that he will become a just ruler.
If he calls to prayers on the top of a mountain or performs his prayers thereat
in the dream, it means that he will be appointed to govern. If one sees himself
descending a mountain in a dream, it means loss of rank, business losses, or
regret. If one is accompanied with his king and soldiers in a dream, it means
that he is in the company of God Almighty and that of His angels, therefore,
he shall be victorious, whereby, he can win a war, conquer an enemy, or
renounces his attachment to the world. If climbing a mountain with difficulty
means distress, then descending it in a dream means relief. If climbing means
gaining a higher station, then descending in a dream means losing rank. If one
sees himself climbing a mountain, though at a certain height he finds himself
no longer able to climb or to descend in the dream, it means that he will die
young. If one sees himself falling from a mountain in a dream, it means that he
will fall into sin. If he falls and breaks a leg in the dream, it means that he will
become despised by his superiors. A mountain on fire in a dream represents the
death of a dangerous person. Leaning against a mountain in a dream represents
friendship with someone in authority. Living in the shadow of a mountain in a
dream means earning one’s livelihood from such a person and living happily
there. Carrying a mountain in a dream means carrying the responsibility of
managing the business of a notable merchant, and such responsibilities will
bear heavy on him. If the mountain is radiant with lights, it means that one’s
responsibilities will be light too. If he sees a mountain descending from the
heavens in a dream, it represents a visit of the local governor to that locality.
If one sees the mountain rising into the skies in a dream, it means that the
governor of that town will be dismissed. Throwing stones from the top of a
mountain in a dream means insulting others. If the mountain is beautifully
dressed in the dream, it means that one will command a greater authority.
Seeing a mountain at a distance in a dream means a journey. If one sees an
earthquake hitting a mountain in a dream, it means that calamities will befall
that land or country. If an evildoer sees a mountain in his dream, it means that
he will surely suffer for his sins. Swallowing a mountain in a dream means
commanding and controlling ruthless and strong men. Climbing a mountain
until one reaches a flat surface in a dream means serving orphans, or nursing
sick people. Entering a cave inside a mountain in a dream means reaching
safety. The good or evil emanating from seeing a mountain in one’s dream
depend on its fertility or bareness. Climbing a mountain and enjoying its
vegetations and its sweet fresh waters in a dream means sheltering one’s
chastity in the company of one’s wife, or learning a knowledge or a trade that
will satisfy one’s needs. Climbing a mountain through a straight path in a dream
means facing things the way they are. If one sees mountains moving forward
with him, it means a war or a major conflict between people of knowledge.
Falling down from the top of a mountain into the middle of beasts, crows,
vultures, snakes, mammals, mire, filth, or rats and their different kinds in a
dream means abstaining from sins, or refraining from innovation if escaping
from them leads one into a mosque where he can enter to pray, or a garden where
he can rest in peace. If the mountain crumbles, and if it is transformed into ashes
or dirt in the dream, it means that whoever is meant in that dream shall lose
his devotion and waste his life. (Also see Ascending in the skies)

Palace
A palace in a dream represents a prison, tightness, shortage of cash, or
loss of respect for an abominable and sinful person. If a rich person sees a palace
in his dream, then it means rising in station, or repayment of his debts. Seeing
a palace from a distance in a dream also means prosperity. A palace in a dream
represents an unknown person, or a private person who maintains a steady
religious life. Entering a palace in a dream means gaining authority, rising in
station, and a growing religious adherence. If one sees himself managing his
own palace in a dream, it means exaltation, power and reverence. If the palace
he is managing in the dream belongs to someone else, then it means earnings
from such a person. A palace in a dream also denotes good deeds. Entering a
palace in a dream also means getting married. Entering a palace made of glass
means a marriage that will not last. It is thus said that a palace in a dream can
be interpreted in eight different ways: that is blessings, money, leadership,
rank, management, authority, attaining one’s goals and happiness. Residing in
one of the palaces of paradise in a dream means leadership, victory, or marriage.

also represents a shameless and an insolent worker, or it could represent a bird’s
nest. In this sense, capturing a bird, or looking inside a bird’s nest in a dream
means getting married. If a woman sees water entering her vagina in a dream,
it means that she will conceive a child. If a woman’s vagina turns into iron or
into any metal in the dream, it means that she has lost all hope in accomplishing
her aspirations, satisfying her desires or needs. (Also see Blowing into the va¬

Seeing one-half of one’s beard shaved in a dream means poverty. If an unknown
young person shaves one’s beard in a dream, it means loss of dignity and injury
caused by one’s enemy or competitor or someone who carries the same name. If
an old man shaves his beard in a dream, it means that he will lose his good

wealth or growth of the son’s business, or sickness of one’s wife, or it could mean
that she will no longer be able to conceive children, though if she had a son, it
means that he will control the entire family. If a woman sees herself having a
beard in a dream, it means losing her husband and if she is a widow, it means
that she will marry a hard-working man who is compatible with her. If a
pregnant woman sees that in a dream, it means that she will beget a son, and
if she has a quarrel with someone, it means that she will win the battle and stand
for herself with dignity and courage. Plucking one’s facial hair or beard in a
dream means wasting money. If one’s beard and head is shaved in a dream, it
means recovering from an illness, satisfying one’s debts or dispelling sorrow and

Allah
God Almighty, Lord, Creator and Cherisher of the universes. There is
nothing like unto Him and He is the All-Hearing, the Al-Seeing Lord. Seeing
Him in a dream can be interpreted according to one’s state of being. If one sees
Him in His glory and majesty, without descriptive designation, without ascrip¬
tion of human characteristics to Him and without depiction or portrayal in the
dream, it is an indication of glad tidings for both this world and the hereafter.These blessings also may continue to affect the lives of one’s progeny. If one sees
Him otherwise in a dream, it means confusion, and particularly if the Almighty
Lord does not address him. If an ailing person sees Him in a dream, it means
that he will soon die and come to meet Him. If a straying soul sees God Almighty
in a dream, it will find guidance. If an oppressed person sees Him, it means that
justice will prevail and he will triumph over his oppressors. Hearing God’s words
without designation represents the imagination of the person in the dream.
Perhaps hearing His words in a dream appeases one’s heart and increases the
person’s drive for success. Hearing God’s words without seeing Him represents
the rising of one’s station. If one receives revelations from behind a veil in a
dream, it means mental confusion and innovation. This is most true if a
messenger comes in one’s dream and describes the one who spoke as God. In this
case, the dream is a nightmare, because God Almighty cannot be depicted
according to human descriptions. If one sees a picture of God in his dream, it
means that he is a liar who ascribes images to God Almighty that do not befit
His Majesty and Glory. If one hears God Almighty talking to him directly and
if he can focus at Him in the dream, it means that he will be encompassed with
God’s mercy and blessings. If one sees God Almighty in a dream, it means that
he will look at His Divine countenance in the hereafter. Seeing God Almighty
seated on the Divine Throne in a dream means elevation of one’s rank,
knowledge and increase in his wealth. If one sees himself running away to hide
from God Almighty in a dream, it means that he will change the course of his
devotion into heedlessness. Seeing a veil separating between the servant and
his Lord in a dream means that one will commit major sins and abominable
actions. If one sees his Lord frowning at him, whereby he could not bear the
effulgence of God’s light, or if he is seized by a shock and immediately commences
to repent and pray for forgiveness in the dream, it means that such a person is
indulging in abominable actions, and that he is a despicable sinner who follows
his own mind and desires, and that he is an innovator of religious thoughts who
misleads the people. If one hears God Almighty talking to him in a dream, it
represents an admonition and a warning to abstain from sin. If one hears God
Almighty talking to him in a dream, it also means that one is more assiduous
in his recital of the Quran. If one hears God Almighty talking to him with words
he cannot understand, then if He anoints him and blesses him in the dream, it
means that God Almighty will bring him nigh unto Himself and exalt his station.
If one sees God Almighty in a form resembling one’s father, a brother or a
relative and showing His kindness or blessing him in a dream, it means that he
will be afflicted with a calamity and a major illness. If a righteous person sees
himself standing before God Almighty in reverence and filled with awe in a
dream, it means that mercy will encompass him and help him to further his
growth. The same interpretation applies if one sees himself prostrating before
Him. If God Almighty speaks to someone from behind a veil in a dream, it can
also represent a good worshipper, but if the Divine address takes place without
a veil in the dream, it means falling into sin. If God Almighty names someone
in his dream with his birth name, then adds another title to it, it means rising
in station and rank. If one sees God Almighty angry with him in a dream, it
means that his parents are displeased with him. This description includes
seeing oneself falling from the skies or from the top of a mountain. If a devoted
servant sees God Almighty kissing him in a dream, it applies to his growing
devotion and reward. Fearing God Almighty in a dream reflects eminence,
peacefulness, quiescence, wealth of being and disregard for material needs.

Harvest
Harvesting one’s farm in a dream means ease after difficulty, or seeing
a fast return on one’s investment. It also could represent destruction, or it could
mean receiving admonition. The portion harvested in a dream will equal the size
of destruction that will befall the area. If one sees people harvesting a field in
the middle of the marketplace or a road in a dream, it means that a calamity
will befall them because of their sins. On the other hand, it also means profiting
from one’s business. If worshippers are seen harvesting inside a mosque with
no outside help in a dream, it means reaping the reward of their devotion and
sincerity. Throwing the harvest back into the fields means that one’s deeds are
worthless. To see oneself harvesting outside the season in a dream means
devastation, war, or death. Harvesting a green crop in the dream connotes the
death of a young person. If the color of the harvest is white in the dream, it means
death of an elderly person. If one sees the crop being harvested before its time,
or much later than its due time in the dream, it means death or a war. (Also see
Crop; Earth; Grammarian; Planting)

Compensation

Acknowledging devotion
If one sees himself acknowledging devotion or worship
of another human being in a dream, it means enmity with that person. But, if
one sees himself confessing his wrongdoing in a dream, it means regaining
honor, dignity and true repentance. To confess a murder in a dream means that
one will attain peace, leadership or advancement to a supervisory job.
Acknowledgment: (See Fame)
Interpreted by Ibn Sirin
Burial
If one sees himself being buried after his death in a dream, it means that
he will undertake a long journey during which he will be short of money. If one
sees himself being buried alive and if he recognizes the one buiying him in the
dream, it means that the latter will assault him, oppress him, imprison him or
cause him injustice. If he dies in his grave after his burial in the dream, it means
that he may die from such sufferings. Should he survive such adversities in the
dream, it means that he will escape from such fear, prison or injustice. If he sees
the other person driving him to the edge of his grave in a dream, it means that
he will lead him to his death, though his name will be praised after his death.
If the other person places him inside a coffin in a dream, it means that he will
move to a new home. If the other person fills the grave with dirt on top of him
in the dream, it means that he will be piled with money equal to the amount he
is being buried under in the dream. It is said that to be buried alive in a dream
means losing one’s spirituality or religious commitment, unless one comes out
of it alive. If one walks out of his grave covered with dirt, then shakes off the
dust in the dream, it means that his state is hopeless or that his repentance has
little chance to hold. To be buried alive in a dream means imprisonment or
despise by others, or a severe punishment which makes one’s chastisement an
exemplary lesson to others, If a gnostic or a wise man is seen buried alive inside
his own house, or if he is brought out of it alive in a dream, it means that one
will inherit him in knowledge, wisdom and status. The same interpretation is
given if one sees a prophet or a holy man walking out of his grave alive. To be
buried after death, after sunrise, at noon or at the sunset hour in a dream means
that one is being warned about doing what is good and abstaining from what is
evil. To be buried alive in a dream is wrong and means betrayal. It could also
mean marriage, prosperity or peace and tranquility after suffering and hard¬
ships. If one sees a deceased person burying him alive in a dream, it means that
one’s due debts are not payed, or that one will be imprisoned to satisfy his debts,
or that his collateral was not accepted. To bury a dead person twice means that
one is covering his faults. If one sees a deceased person burying another
deceased person in a dream, it means unity, clearing of the hearts, love and
friendship between relatives, or perhaps it could mean imprisonment, marriage,
a sickness, a trust, or guaranteeing a loan. Seeing oneself being buried after
death in a dream means that one needs to repent before death. Should he still
walk alive from his burial in the dream, it means that he may repent again. God
knows best. (Also see Cemetery; Grave)

Entering Paradise
If one sees himself entering the heavenly paradise in a dream,
then his dream represents glad tidings that God willing, he shall enter it. If a
pilgrim sees himself entering paradise in a dream, it means that his pilgrimage
is accepted or that he will reach God’s House in Mecca. If he lacks faith in God
Almighty, it means that he will become a believer. If a believer who is bed-
stricken sees himself entering paradise in a dream, it means that he will die of
his illness. If a non-believer who is bed-stricken sees himself entering paradise
in a dream, it means that he will recover from his illness. If he is unwed, it means
that he will get married. If he is poor, it means that he will become rich or receive
an inheritance. If a sick person sees himself in the abode of the hereafter healthy
again in a dream, it means that he will reach it free from the ills of this world,
its adversities and temptations. If he is not sick, then entering the realms of the
hereafter means glad tidings, business success, a pilgrimage, ascetic detachment
from this world, sincere devotion, acquiring knowledge, strengthening of one’s
kinship or exercising patience toward a calamity which derives from one’s own
sins. If one sees himself entering the abode of the hereafter to visit and see
around, and should he be a person of good deeds and character who is a capable
person and who acts upon his knowledge, it means that he will be without work
or suffer from business losses. If he is scared of something, or if he is accused
of something, or if he is under stress, it means that his fears will dissipate.
Mostly, entering the abode of the hereafter in a dream means travels or
migration from one’s homeland. Thus, if one sees himself returning from a
journey to the hereafter in a dream, it means that he will return to his homeland.
Entering paradise in a dream means a pilgrimage to God’s House in Mecca.

Hanging loosely
If one sees himself hanging down loosely from a high place in
a dream, it means that he will turn pious and for the sake of his faith, he will
give preference to his life in the hereafter over that of this world. One’s fall in
the dream connotes despair or disappointment. Hanging loosely to reach a lion,
a serpent, a scorpion, or the like creatures in a dream means hanging around
with evil companions, soliciting marriage from a corrupt family, or seeking the
friendship of the wrong people. Hanging loosely to reach some cattle or a herd
of sheep in a dream means delivering charities or spending money in a good way.

In a dream, a comb represents a good man who strives to help, serve,
comfort and entertain others. A comb in a dream also represents an auspicious
time to be involved in a business partnership or accepting an employment in a
large corporation, since the teeth of a comb are equal. If the teeth of one’s comb
are capped with gold or silver caps, then they represent one’s workers. The
golden caps represent trustworthy workers and the silver caps represent
treacherous and disloyal workers. Combing one’s hair in a dream signifies
paying alms tax, or it could mean distributing charities. A comb in a dream also
can be interpreted to denote an honest and a just man, an hour of happiness,
or a wise person, a judge, a physician, or a preacher one can benefit from his
knowledge. A comb in a dream also represents a hairdresser or one’s mother.
Combing the hair of an unknown woman in a dream represents a wind that will
help pollinate the trees. In a dream, a comb also represents a sifter or a sieve.
The teeth of a comb may represent one’s own teeth or the teeth of a saw. It is
also said that combing hair in a dream means weaving a carpet. Combing one’s
hair or beard in a dream means dispelling adversities and distress. In a dream,
a comb also represents a good man who is just and equitable with all his friends,
or it may mean longevity, wealth and victory against one’s enemy.

Honeycomb
In a dream, a honeycomb represents an inheritance of a lawfully
earned money, or money from a business partnership, or profits in general as
long as the fire does not touch it. If a honeycomb is placed before someone in a

to learn. If the honeycomb is placed as if on a table in the dream, it means a booty,
or blessed earnings. If it is placed in a bowl in the dream, it means lawful profits.

chant the Quran with embellishment and awaits people’s praises and request
to encore his recital. Eating from a honeycomb with honey still in it in a dream

Lance
In a dream, a lance represents a branch of wood, stability based on one’s
strength, or stepping away from the wrong path. A lance in a dream also
represents a woman, a child, testifying to the truth, or going on a journey. A
lance in one’s hand in a dream represents a grand son or a blessed son who will
grow to preside over people and defend them with his own life. A broken lance
in a dream represents an incurable deficiency or a disease that will inflict one’s
child. Carrying a lance while riding a horse in a dream means authority with
honor. If someone denies his ownership of a lance in a dream, it means an
accident or a betrayal. If the lance belongs to a brother, then it means a calamity.
If one does repair a broken lance in a dream, it means recovering from an illness.
A lance without a spearhead in a dream means the death of one’s brother or
child. A lance in a dream also represents a brother or a friend who will part with
his brother or friend, or it could mean loss of one’s job. Walking with a lance in
one’s hand in the middle of a marketplace in a dream means walking or strolling
with one’s son. As for a pregnant woman, a metal lance means that she will
deliver a girl, and that she will receive a gift of money or a present after her birth
from other daughters. Cariying a lance with a flag raised on top of it in a dream
means attaining a position that will earn fame. If one is challenged by someone
holding a lance against him in a dream, it means that someone will hurt him
with his words, or slander his family. Owning an extra lance in a dream means
having a brother or a friend who will stand for one’s defence when needed. A long
spear means injustice, or it could mean good health. If one bleeds from a wound

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.

Ring
In a dream, a ring represents peace, tranquility, authority, a wife, a child,

dream represents his kingdom. Cutting off a tight ring with a pair of pliers in
a dream means the end to one’s authority. Any incrustations on one’s ring in a
dream represent his goals. If the gemstone of one’s ring falls in a dream, it may
mean the death of his child, or the loss of his business. A broken ring in a dream
means divorce. Wearing a ring made of iron in a dream means that one will
receive benefits though with great strain on him. Wearing a golden ring carry ing
a precious stone in a dream means that such benefits will come with ease. If it

and getting nothing out of it. Rings made of ivory or from an animal’s horn in
a dream represent glad tidings for a woman. Seeing someone in authority
stamping a document with his ring as a seal in a dream means that one will
receive an important political appointment. If one who is accustomed to wearing
a silver ring sees himself offering it as a gift to whoever he wishes in a dream,
it means that he will preside over an honorable post. Wearing the governor’s
ring in a dream means an appointment as a dignitary, or inheriting such a rank
from one’s father. If one’s father does not hold such a position, then it means the
opposite of one’s wishes. Finding a lost ring in a dream means earning money
from a foreign land, or having a new born son, or it could mean a marriage to
a righteous woman. If the stone of one’s ring seems unstable in the dream, it

that one maybe removed from his job. If a woman sees herself removing her
wedding ring in a dream, it means the death of either her husband or of a close
relative. A ring in a dream also connotes a band, an encumbrance, or a shackle.
If one’s ring disappears and only the stone remains in the dream, it means that
once the responsibilities are gone, good memories of the person will remain. A
man wearing a golden ring in a dream represents innovation, and the results
will bring about afflictions, betrayal, or a revolt. Wearing a tight ring in the
dream means that one will be let off from a vicious woman, or that he will be
spared from a wicked duty. A borrowed wedding ring in a dream represents an
ownership that will not last. If one buys an engraved ring in a dream, it means

or perhaps he may get married, or bear a child. If one sees rings being sold in
the open market in a dream, it means that the estates of the high society are
for sale or it could represent foreclosure. If one sees the skies raining rings in
a dream, it means that he will conceive a child during that year. If he is unwed,
it means that he will marry a rich and a virgin young woman during that same
year. If they are gold rings in the dream, it means that such a woman has lost
her wealth. If one places a ring in his little finger then removes it to place it on

sometime in his little finger, then in his middle finger, then in his ring finger
without his doing in the dream, it means that his wife will betray him with
another man. If he sells his ring for pennies or a handful of sesame, or for little
flour in a dream, it means that he will separate from his wife, though they will
have respect for one another, or it could mean that he will offer her a good
financial arrangement. Receiving a ring that is inlaid with a precious stone from
one’s son in a dream represents the good character and qualities of such a son.
A stone which is made from worthless glass beads in the dream denotes a weak

field. Receiving a ring as a gift in a dream also means happy news, or a marriage
to a beautiful woman. Seeing an atheist who publicly brags about his actions and
thoughts wearing a ring and turning its stone toward the palm of his hand in
a dream, it means that he engages in sodomy. If a believer turns his ring inside
during prayers in a dream, then it represents his modesty. Wearing a ring that
carries two gemstones, one to the outside and the other to the inside in a dream
means that one may chair two important appointments, material and a spiritual
ones, or inner and outer ones. Wearing a ring with a carnelian-red stone in a
dream means an end to one’s poverty. If a pious person, a religious person or an
ascetic receives a silver ring from God Almighty in a dream, it means his
salvation on the Day of Judgment. If he receives a silver ring from God’s
Messenger (uwbp) in a dream, it represents a gift of a greater knowledge. If it
is gold, iron, or copper, then it has negative consequences, because iron rings
represent the chains of the dwellers of hell-fire. Somehow, to wear a simple band
in one’s dream is better than wearing a heavy ring. Heavy rings in a dream also
may connote an assassination or deceit. On the other hand, large rings in a
dream also can be interpreted to mean something great, or something which
entails sizable benefits. Lead rings in a dream mean weak authority. If one
sends his ring to some people who returns it to him in the dream, it means that
he is asking to betroth someone from such a family, but his request will be
declined. If one sees his ring being forcefully pulled out from his finger in a
dream, it means that he will lose his rank or whatever the ring represents to
him. If one loses his ring in a dream, it means that he will experience something
he hates to see it happening to him. (Also see Games; Solomon’s ring)

Turtle
In a dream, a turtle represents a woman who likes to adorn herself and to
make herself noticeable to please men. A turtle in a dream is also interpreted
as a man of knowledge, or a chiefjustice, because she is most knowledgeable and
God fearing amongst the sea creatures. In a dream, a turtle therefor could
represent a devout worshipper who reads the scrolls of God’s prophet Abraham,
upon whom be peace, or any of the holy scriptures. Seeing a pet turtle in a house
or a town in a dream means that the people of knowledge in that locality are well
respected. Seeing a turtle living in a dump, then it represents a knowledgeable
person living in the midst of ignorant people who care little about learning
anythingfrom him. Eating a turtle in a dream means profits, benefits, or money.
If one sees a turtle inside his house, or if he owns one in a dream, it means that
he will benefit from the company of a learned person who is acquainted with
ancient manuscripts, or in interpreting ancient scrolls. Ifone sees a turtle lying
on its back in a dream, it means that there is a man of knowledge in that town
people do not recognize. If one sees a well kept and fed turtle sitting on a brocade
in the dream, it means that the people of that town honor their scholars.
However, a turtle in a dream also can be interpreted as deception, trickery,
spying, hiding, evil and acquisition of weapons.

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)

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,

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

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

world, sorrows, the hereafter, wine, or bearing children after having lost hope in
one’s fertility. An old woman in a dream also could represent deceit, cunningness,

a scandal. If an old woman enters a house in a dream, it means prosperity and
business success and if she leaves a house in the dream, it means the opposite.
An unknown old woman in a dream has a stronger connotation than a known old
woman. If one sees himself frequenting an old woman in a dream, his dream
denotes his attachment to worldly gains. If an old woman who passed her
menopause sees herself in a dream experiencing her menstrual period again and
regaining her sexual drive, and if she sees herself engaged in sexual intercourse
in the dream, it means that she will become religious and have strong material
and spiritual success in her life if her sexual intercourse in the dream is marital
intercourse and of a lawful nature. Otherwise, if it is unlawful, then it represents
her attachment to worldly gains and neglects for her spiritual values. If a young
woman sees herself being an old woman in a dream, it means that she will prosper
and have a successful marital life.

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

funeral in the dream, it means that someone among his children or in the family of that person will shortly die. If no crying or sorrow follows his death, then it
means that someone in his progeny will get married. What a deceased person
says about himself in a dream is true, for he has reached the abode of truth and
he can exercise no falsehood in that abode. If a deceased person tells something
in a dream, and if it does not take place, then it means that one is experiencing
confused dreams. If one sees a deceased person well dressed in a white or a green
garment, smiling and happy in a dream, it means that he is in that state one
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
asking for forgiveness on their behalf or visiting their graves, or it could mean
admonishing someone with a dead heart, or it could mean bidding farewell to
traveling people or taking care of needy people. If one's wife dies and returns
back to life in a dream, it means making profits from a plantation or a farm.

buried in a dream, it means that he will divorce his wife or break a business
partnership or separates from his brothers, sisters and friends, or it could mean
that he may emigrate to another country. Otherwise, if he has already migrated
from his homeland, it means that he will return to it. Death in a dream has

person who saw him in his dream, or it could mean that one needs him to pay a debt he left behind or to ask people to forgive him his sins or to fulfill his will.

something he left. If he looks beautiful, happy and well dressed in the dream,
it means that such happiness will become the inheritance of his descendants.
If one sees a deceased person busy, worried and ill dressed in a dream, it means
that he is engaged in a struggle that can only subside by the will of God
Almighty. If he is sick in the dream, it means that he is answerable to God
Almighty for his religious negligence. If the deceased person's face looks dark
or opaque in the dream, it means that he died as an unbeliever. If one sees a
deceased person sprightly, pleasant and casual in a dream, it means that one's
dream is mere hallucination, or that he is experiencing disturbed dreams, for
dead people do not joke and have their own duties to respond to. If one's deceased
father or mother come back to life in a dream, it means relief from distress and
abolishing of his fears. This is particularly stronger when one's deceased mother
is seen in the dream. Resurrecting a deceased person in a dream means giving
guidance to an unbeliever or admonishing an innovator. This also could mean
admonishing heedless people who will repent for their sins. If one sees a
deceased person die again in a dream, it means that someone by the same name
will shortly die. If a deceased person complains about a migraine headache in
a dream, it means that he is being questioned about his religious negligence or

In a dream, the stomach represents the elements of property, family,

family graves will be desecrated, or that the body of someone in her family will
be exhumed, thus uncovering its diseases and infestations, or it could mean that

represent the male members of one's family from the father's side, and the teeth
ofthe lowerjaw represent the female members of one's family from the mother's
side. The closer the teeth are to the incisor, the closer is the relative. Divided
in two sections, the upper right incisor represents the father, and the upper left
incisor represents the paternal uncle, or it could represent one's sisters, sons,
or a close friend. The upper canines represent one's cousin. or two friends who
are as close as cousins. The bicuspids represent one's uncles from the mother's
