conceal one’s face; Attire; Cap; Garb; Mantle; Mantilla; Veil) In a dream, a
khimar represents a husband, protection or an ornament. The extent of its size
shows the man’s prosperity. Its finesse connotes clarity and the color white
represents honor and dignity. If a woman sees herself wearing a mantilla in a
dream, it means maliciousness, a bad omen, or rancor and falsehood of female
companions that might cause difficulties, or separate between a husband and
a wife. If the khimar is made of black torn fabric in the dream, it means poverty

in a dream means difficulties affecting one’s marriage, loss of business or a
calamity caused by a guardian, a father or a brother. If a man sees himself
wearing a mask in a dream, it means that he will commit adultery with his
servant. If a woman sees herself removing her veil in public in a dream, it means
that she will be tried with a calamity that will take away her sense of shame.
If she loses her khimar in the dream, it means that she may lose her husband.
If she finds it again in the dream, it means that her husband will return to her.

Wound
(Bleeding; Cut; Injury) A wound in a dream means compensation money
that will come out of an injury one may suffer, and it will show. A cut in the right
hand in a dream means money which is earned from a family business. If the
left hand receives the cut, such profits will come through a female relative. If
one sees his left foot bleeding from a cut, it means that he will earn money from
a farming business. If his injury is in his back, then such profits will come from his children.
If his wound starts bleeding in the dream, it means a debt which
he must repay, even if it is difficult for him to do so at present. Every bleeding
wound in a dream represents a financial obligation. In a dream, a head wound
which does not bleed is a sign that one should guard his money. A wound which
does not bleed in a dream also represents recognition by others. If a man of
authority is wounded in an accident, whereby his flesh splits open, and his bones
are dissected in a dream, it means that he will live a long life to see the burial

dream, it means that his army will double in size. If his right hand is wounded

a dream, it means that the assailant will say something true about his victim,
representing the answer the person in the dream needs to realize. A bleeding
wound in a dream also means being subject to backbiting, though what will be
said is true. If one sees an angel piercing his stomach with a sword, whereby he
thinks that he is dead in the dream, it means that he may suffer from an ulcer
which will ultimately heal. If the sword inflicts a wound in his neck in a dream,
it means prosperity which will mostly benefit his progeny. (Also see Horizontal

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.

dream, it means that he will discover a treasure, or it could mean marriage if
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

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
methods to market his merchandise. In a dream, a ship also represents good
deeds, righteous companions, associating with a wise man, a good fellowship,

salvation, a mosque, a marketplace, one’s father, one’s mother, master, teacher,

means longevity and authority. If one enters an unknown house and finds
departed souls dwelling therein in a dream, it means that he has entered the
realms of the hereafter. If such dwellings are built of mud or plaster, this will
be a reflection on his adverse conditions. If one enters such dwellings, then
walks out of it in a dream, it means that he will become sick and nearly die of
his illness before he recovers from it. If one walks out of it angry in a dream, it
means that he will be imprisoned. If he sees someone entering his house in a

secrets she maybe hiding. However, for a learned man, pregnancy in a dream

girl who is under the age of menstruation sees herself pregnant, then it
represents her mother. If a man sees his wife pregnant in a dream, it reflects

wakefulness what he sees in his dream. If one sees himself delivering a baby
from his mouth in a dream, it means his death, or it could mean that he will use
poised and pleasant words in a conversation with someone he is careful not to
offend. If a man gives birth to a baby boy in a dream, it means that he will carry
a heavy burden then escape from it, or it could mean that he will vanquish his
enemy, or it could mean that he may escape from a treacherous woman. If a
pregnant woman sees herself delivering a child in a dream though having not

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

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

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.

Appetite
(Sated; Saturation; To eat one’s fill) In a dream, to eat one’s fill means
fidgety or restlessness. If one sees himself satiated with food and could not eat
any more in a dream, it means changing of his condition, losing rank, losing

dream extra space to fill with food, then the dream means that his lot in this
world will equal the size of that remaining space. Eating to one’s fill in a dream
also represents working for one’s livelihood or recovering extra money. Some
interpreters convey that hunger in a dream is better than satiation, while to
drink extra water in a dream is better than thirst.

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

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

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

A fried fish in a dream means that one’s prayers will be answered. A broiled fish

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

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

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

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)

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,

dream represents his kingdom. Cutting off a tight ring with a pair of pliers in

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

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)
Ringdove: (Dove; Pigeon; Turtledove) A ringdove in a dream represents a rebel¬
lious son, or a son who lies excessively, or a wife who lacks devotion and
tenderness, who is void of piety, who lies constantly, who possesses a difficult
character, or who consents only to her own opinion and interpretations of things.
A ringdove in a dream also represents a beautiful and an energetic woman who
likes to show off. (Also see Pigeon; Turtledove)

Storyteller
In a dream, a storyteller may represent the Imam of a mosque, or the
Khatib who delivers the Friday sermon. A storyteller in a dream also may
represent one’s livelihood, or intestinal and bowel problems, or he could
represent travels. If the stories are new, then they mean disturbances in one’s
life. If they are stories of chivalry, then they represent a war. A pleasant story
one tells to a king, or to man of authority in a dream represents wealth, or great
profits which are distributed equitably. As for a merchant, hearing a pleasant
story in a dream represents easy and quick profits from his business, and for
a craftsman, it represents a sizeable contract, or an important new account.
