could mean that he will discover a great treasure. As for the tablets that were
revealed to God’s prophet Moses, upon whom be peace, seeing them in a dream represents witnesses,
spiritual guides, guidance or admonition. A wooden blackboard in a dream represents one’s wife,
child, farmland, or finding peace after suffering from fear,
or it could mean knowledge if one is a seeker of such avenues. In general,
all boards in a dream represent admonition or prohibition

is written on the blackboard in the dream implies admonition to do good, then
the tablet means guidance and mercy. If the blackboard is made of iron in the
dream, it means that one will beget a son who will become a great scholar and
a strongman. A polished board in a dream means that one’s son will become a
man of courage who accomplishes what he intends, acquires what he wants, and
who will rarely be defeated. If the blackboard is corroded in the dream, it means
that one’s son will have no dynasty. If the blackboard is made of stone in the
dream, it means that his heart will be like a rock. If the blackboard is made of

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

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

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

deeds, righteous companions, associating with a wise man, a good fellowship,

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

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)

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

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

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

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,

setting in the West with a clear brightness in a dream, it means blessings for
that land. If one swallows the sun in a dream, it means distress, sorrow or death.
If the sun rises from the West, then it means defamation, exposing the ills of the
person seeing it, or divulging a secret. The rising of the sun from the West also
means recovering from an illness, and for a businessman, it means profits from
that direction, but in general, it may mean revealing a secret, or it could mean
a scandal or death. The same interpretation is given if one sees the sun rising
from the South to set in the North. If the sun changes its nature in a dream, it
means trouble in that land. If one sits under the sun in a dream, it means that
he will receive honor and blessed profits. Grabbing some rays of the sun in a

falling over his bed or threatening him in a dream, it means a painful sickness,
or inflammation of the skin. If the sun rays which are falling over his bed provide
him with good energy in the dream, it means a good harvest, or good health. If
travellers see many suns in the sky in a dream, it means profits and prosperity.
Running away from the sun in a dream means that one may leave his wife, or
he may run away from the governor of that land, or escape from an evil. If the
sun and the moon meet in one’s dream, it means a royal marriage, or a marriage
between a beautiful woman and a wealthy man. Clouds covering the rays of the
sun in a dream means an illness. If one carries the sun in a bag in a dream, it
means money. The sun in a dream also could represent a wise man, or a teacher
one whose company is sought. Otherwise, the sun in a dream could represent,
the governor, one’s husband, wife, child, mother, daughter, aunt, father, or
grandfather and the above interpretations will relate to such a person. Whatever
happens to the sun in the dream, will then affect such people. If one sees the sun
rising, then immediately setting in the same direction in a dream, it means a
newborn who may die shortly after his birth, returning an ex-prisoner to jail
shortly after his release, earning amazing amounts of money, or repenting from
sin, reverting to wrongdoing, the return of a bride to her parent’s house
immediately after her wedding night, or it could mean reconciliation between
husband and wife. If one sees the sun and the moon shinning on him in a dream,
it means that his parents are pleased with him. If one sees himself prostrating

that she will find a husband, or bear a son. If one sees the sun talking to him
in a dream, it means that he will discover a mystery or acquire knowledge about

sun, the moon and the stars together in a dream denotes adversities, jealousy

Judge
(Man; Person) Seeing a judge or a governor in a dream means involvement
in the judicial business. If one is appointed to be a judge in a dream, it means
that he will be just and righteous. If one sees himself sitting on the bench, but
finds himself unable to handle people’s cases with justice, it means that he is
an unjust person. If one presides over people in a dream, it means that he may
be dismissed from his job. If a traveller becomes a judge in a dream, it means
that he will be held up by robbers, or it could mean that God’s blessings upon
him will turn into a curse. If one sees a known judge being unjust in a dream,
it means that the people of that locality are inequitable and that they cheat in
their weights and measures. If one sees himself standing before a judge, and if
the judge treats him fairly in the dream, it means that he will find justice
concerning a personal case involving himself and an adversary, or it could mean
relief from depression and stress. If the judge is inequitable in the dream, it
means that one will lose to his adversary. If someone sees a judge holding the
scale of justice and that the scale tilts to one’s favor in the dream, it represents
glad tidings of a great reward from God Almighty for one’s deeds. However, if
the scale of justice tilts to the opposite direction, then it represents a warning
from God Almighty for one to repent of his sins, or abandon his involvement in
a sinful ventures. If one sees the judge weighing pennies or bad monies in the
scale of justice, it means that one will give a false testimony which will be
accepted. If one sees himself as a judge, a wise man, a scholar, or a righteous
man in a dream, it means that he will attain fame, good reputation, ascetic
detachment and spiritual knowledge if he qualifies for that. If one is not suitable
for such blessings, then it means that he will be falsely accused of a crime, or
that he maybe robbed during a trip. If a judge looks cheerful in a dream, it means
glad tidings. Seeing the bench of a judge in a dream means a scare or a fight.
Seeing the seat of rulers, judges, speakers, scholars, or teachers in a dream
means disturbance, sorrow, money, business losses, sickness, depression, or the
surfacing of hidden secrets. If a sick person sees himself standing before a judge
in a dream, it means his death. However, if the case is decided to his favor in
the dream, it means that he will recover from his illness. If one who is facing
adversities sees himself sitting in the judges bench in a dream, it means that
he will triumph. An unknown judge in a dream represents God Almighty. A
known judge in a dream represents a physician.

Physician
(Mother) A physician in a dream represents a wise man, or a religious
doctor. A physician in a dream also represents a scholar, and a scholar in a
dream represents a physician. If one sees a physician examining him in a dream,
it means an improvement in his health condition. If one sees a religious scholar
advising him in a dream, it means that hypocrisy and doubt will be dispelled
from his heart. A physician in a dream also represents one’s mother, or he could
be an opponent, or an adversary. The death of one’s physician in a dream means
the death of one’s mother. If a sick person sees a physician visiting him in a
dream, it means that he will recover from his illness. If a physician visits a
healthy person in a dream and write a prescription for him, it means that he will
fall sick. Seeing or visiting a physician in a dream means exposing one’s secrets,
for a physician works to extract the patient’s illness just like a snake charmer
who brings a snake out of its hiding. A physician in a dream also represents a
garbage collector, a street cleaner, a spy, a backbiter, or a fighter who sometime
wins and sometime loses. To see oneself as a physician in a dream means
attaining a high ranking position, or becoming a policeman, or a commander
who controls people’s livelihood. A physician in a dream also represents some¬
one who provides spiritual as well as practical guidance, a social reformer, a
judge, a preacher, a teacher, a tanner, or a copper. If one sees a just and a well
known judge as a physician in a dream, it means that his compassion and
welfare will encompass everyone in that locality. If one sees a known physician
as a judge or a wise man in a dream, it means that one will become renowned,
his status will rise and he will become a celebrated pioneer in his field. If he is
not known to be a righteous physician, then it means that one will be visited with
adversities, or it could mean that someone will die from malpractice, or it could
mean persevering with daring attempts do increase one’s business at the
expense of people’s lives. If one sees a physician selling coffins or folded shrouds
in a dream, one should be suspicious of him in wakefulness even if people are
fascinated by his charm. If one sees a physician working as a tanner in a dream,
it shows the physicians ingenuity, knowledge of his trade and the many people
who recover from their illness at his hand. The exception to that is when the tan
is spoiled, or if it has a stench, or if it is ineffective in the dream, then it means
that such a physician is a crafty swagger.

Divine Throne
(The Glorious Throne of God Almighty.) Seeingthe Divine Throne
of God Almighty in its perfect form means blessings, glad tidings and correct¬
ness of one’s faith. If one sees the Divine Throne missing one of its attributes
in a dream, it means heedlessness and innovation. Seeing the Glorious Throne
of God Almighty in a dream may entail whatever good or evil destiny one may
go through. Seeing the Divine Throne in a dream also means receiving a high
ranking position or assuming a noble function, if one qualifies, or it could
represent one’s wife, house, vehicle, victory over his enemy, writing poems, or
doing good deeds for the one who sees it in its perfect, radiant and glorious
manifestation. If one sees the Divine Throne, and ifhe sees God Almighty sitting
on it in a dream, it denotes his faith, certitude, determination and correct
religious adherence. If one sees himself sitting upon the Divine Throne and his
Lord sittingunder it in a dream, and if one qualifies for governing, then it means
that he will oppress the religious scholars, show arrogance and spread evil on
earth. If one does not qualify for governing, then it means that he will become
a disobedient son to his parents, oppose his teacher, rebel against his superior,
issue a verdict without knowledge, commit aggression against others, or ifhe
is a judge, he will be an unjust one. (Also see Allah; Carriers of the Divine Throne;

or marriage. If one receives a headgear, or a tiara in a dream, it means that he
may undertake a distant trip. If one wears a headgear in his dream, it means
that he may hold a seat in the government. If one is accustomed to wearing a
headgear then wearing it in a dream represents his superior, the governor, his
brother, his father, his uncle, his teacher, or a scholar, for they all have equal
right upon him. Wearing a dirty and a worn out headgear in a dream means
sorrow, difficulties and distress. If one’s headgear is stripped off his head, or if
it falls to the ground in a dream, it means the death of his superior, or any of
the abovementioned people. If a king offer someone a headgear or a tiara in a
dream, it means that he will have the power to appoint people in different
administrations. If a mishap befall one’s headgear or the turban of an Imam in
a dream, it will reflect upon his faith and the state of his congregation. Wearing
ablack turban in a dream means authority, or it could mean sitting in the judges’
bench. Wearing a headgear which is topped with a white feather in a dream
means becoming a leader. Wearing a headgear that is made from animal fur or
hide in a dream means becoming unjust and blinded to one’s own injustice, or

Bucket
(Well) If one sees himself drawing water from a well with a bucket in a
dream, it means that he earns his money through deception, that is to acquire
unlawful money. If he finds money inside the bucket instead of water in the
dream, it means that he will suffer from a calamity. If he draws water from the
well to fill a pitcher in the dream, it means that such money will soon be spent
or that its benefits will be mixed with misdeeds. If one sees himself watering a
garden from that bucket in a dream, it means that he will get married and
benefit from his wife’s wealth. If the garden blossoms with flowers in the dream,
it means that he will beget a son. If one sees himself drawing water from an old
well to give water to his camels or to provide drinks for people in a dream, it
means that he performs good deeds and that he is a charitable person. He then
becomes like a shepherd. If one draws water from an old well to give drink to
animals in his dream, it means that he is a hypocrite and through falsehood, he
fabricates as many tricks as the amount of water he draws from that old well.
If one sees himself lowering the bucket into the well for himself to drink in the
dream, it means that his so-called charitable deeds are solely done for his
worldly gains, money, respect or status. If a prisoner sees himself drawing water
with a bucket to take a bath in a dream, it means that he will escape from jail
or that he will be released shortly. It also means that he will receive money and
rejoice after his sorrows. Ifone’s wife is pregnant and ifhe sees himself lowering
a bucket in a well to draw water in a dream, it means that his wife will deliver
a son. Ifhe is a merchant, it means that his new merchandise will arrive safely
to his shop. If he is sick, it means that he will miraculously wake-up healthy
again. Standing by a well in a dream means blessings and benefits. A well in
a dream also represents a woman. Otherwise, if one is a student, then the well
represents his teacher. What one draws from a well in a dream also represents

he appears in will bear the consequences. A butcher in a dream also represents
an unjust person. In a dream, if one sees a butcher who specializes in selling
animal heads, he represents a guardian of people’s estates, or a treasurer of a
company, he also could represent adversities or death. If the animals’ heads
cannot be identified in the dream, and if they still have their skin, hair, and are
dripping blood in the dream, then it means the disappearance of the people of
knowledge and that knowledge will become selectively disseminated by political
leaders. Cattles’ heads here represent people in danger. Buying an animal’s
head from a butcher in a dream means asking one’s superior for a teacher for
a special training, a coach, a continuing education program, or a better job. If
a butcher slaughters an animal for fun in a dream, it means suspicion about
one’s spiritual standing. Walking in a butchers market in a dream means
adversities, sufferings, a quick death for sick people, loss of wealth for rich
people, or the fear of people who are under oppression, or the scare of a person
in debt concerning his family or property, or the fears of a person awaiting a
court judgment. It is also said that a butcher in a dream represents tyranny and
bloodshed. If a prisoner sees a butcher in his dream, it means that he will soon
be released fromjail. Seeing a butcher in a dream also signifies safety, dispelling

in a dream, it means that he will acquire such qualities. If one meets a Jinni who
displays truthfulness, knowledge and wisdom which is recognizable by the
person in the dream it means that he will receive good news. Seeing Jinn
standing by one’s door in a dream means losses, a vow that must be fulfilled, or
experiencing bad luck. Seeing Jinn entering one’s house and doing work there
in a dream means that thieves may enter that house and cause major losses. If
one sees himself teaching the Quran to a gathering of Jinn in a dream, it means
that he will be appointed to a leadership position. Accompanying Jinn in a
dream means familiarity with, and keeping the company of men of knowledge,
or people of inner knowledge. If one marries a female from amongst the Jinn in
a dream, it means that he will marry an insolent wife, or that he may suffer a
great calamity. If a righteous person sees himself chaining Jinn in a dream, it
means that he holds fast to his prayers, fasting, controls his carnal self and base
desires. Engaging in a battle with Jinn in a dream means that one will be safe
from their evil. To befriend a known leader from amongst the Jinn in a dream
means becoming a police officer and make it one’s profession to pursue criminals
and bandits. It also could mean that one might become a guided man of
knowledge or a teacher. Seeing Jinn gathering in a known locality in a dream

Wrapped firewood in a bundle means mixed profits. If an unemployed person
sees himself carrying a bundle of firewood in a dream, it means that he will work
for a generous person. Gathering firewood in a dream means bringing medicine
for a sick person. Attributing the firewood to its mother tree or distinguishing
its fruit in the dream means money of a doubtful source. Offering timber to burn
in a religious ceremony in a dream means nearness to one’s Lord, or it could
mean offering a gift to one’s teacher, bringing a culpable before a judge, or
bringing a sick person to the doctor. In this case, if the timber burns before
putting it in the fire, it means that the gift was accepted, or that a guilty person
will receive a just verdict. Eating timber in a dream means earning unlawful
money. A tree stump or a log in a dream means a chronic illness or paralysis.

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

Well
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,
stinginess, generosity, or it could mean a servant. The structural condition of
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
marriage. Falling into a well of muddy waters in a dream means that one may
become subject to the tyranny of an unjust ruler. If the water he falls into is clear
in the dream, it means that he will willingly work to serve a righteous man and
for a nominal wage. Falling into a well in a dream also means demotion, or it
could mean travels. Sitting at the edge of a well in a dream means dealing with
a deceiving person. A collapsed well in a dream represents a dying woman.
Reaching a well which is dug for the general public to draw from its water means
getting relief after suffering from difficulties. Finding a well adjacent to a
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
and an artful deceiver.

Prophet
In a dream, each one of God’s prophets, upon all of them be peace and
blessings, is like a compassionate father toward his son, who is trying to save
his child from the hell of this world and the hell-fire in the hereafter. In a dream,
a prophet also represents a teacher, a tutor, a shaikh, a warning, or glad tidings.
If one sees them standing in a stately form, or if one prays behind them, or
follows them on the road, or eats something from their delicious food, or drinks
from their drink, or if one is anointed with their perfume, or learns something
from them, or acquires a particular knowledge from them in a dream, it
demonstrates his trueness, faith in God’s oneness, following His Messenger and
being faithful to his traditions. Otherwise, if one walks before them, or leads
them into a narrow lane, or stones them, or mocks them, or argues with them
in a dream, it means that he is an innovator and a heedless person. This could
also mean that he will be persecuted by his superiors, for a prophet in a dream
also represents a ruler or a king, and God’s prophets are in truth the guardians
of the souls, and they are kings in this world and in the hereafter. A prophet in
a dream also represents a religious scholar, because religious scholars are the
heirs of the prophets, upon all of them be peace. Religious scholars also know
God’s prophets better than the common people. They understand their message
and follow their traditions of glorifying God’s Oneness, devotion, piety, prayers,
charity, acting upon what they know and admonishing others to follow the path
of truth and righteousness. A prophet in a dream also represents one’s superior,
a preacher, a righteous Imam, a conscientious teacher and a caller to God
Almighty. Seeing any of God’s prophets looking gracious, stately and courtly in
a dream also represents his people’s devotion, or that a major and a positive
change will take place among his followers. If such a prophet looks spurious,
unhappy in a dream, or if he appears in a state that does not befit God’s prophets,
it means that his followers in the world have deviated from his path and created
their own religion, opposing his commands, falsifying and interpreting his
message to their own liking and abusing his admonition. If one claims to be a
prophet in a dream, it means that he will become known in his field, or if he
qualifies, he may become a ruler, a judge, a teacher or a caller to God Almighty,
commanding what is good and forbidding what is evil. Otherwise, it means that
he will be inflicted with a great calamity because of a falsehood he fosters, or
innovations he practices. If one becomes a messenger in a dream or a caller to
God Almighty, and if someone hearkens to him and accepts his message in the
dream, it means that he will rise in rank. Otherwise, it means that he will
become a broker, a liar, a defrauder, a swagger, depending on his level of
knowledge, or it could mean that he will be struck with a major calamity in his
life. Such a calamity will be of the same caliber, degree and nature that a
messenger of God Almighty may have suffered from his own people. Seeing one
of God’s prophets in a dream also means living the experience of time, space and
condition in which he saw him in the dream. Wearing the cloak of one of God’s
prophets in a dream means attaining one’s goals, or presiding over people, or
acquiring true knowledge. Consequently, one will become renowned, revered
and his opinions will be respected by most people. If one becomes a prophet in
a dream, it means that he will die as a martyr, or become poor and be gifted with
patience and endurance. He will then be granted victory, and God willing, all
his needs will be satisfied. Emulating the devotion of a prophet in a dream
means trueness in one’s faith, compliance with God’s religion, certitude and
determination. Becoming one of God’s prophets, upon all of them be peace and
blessings, in a dream means commanding good and forbidding evil, suffering
from adversities and distress equal to those endured by such a prophet, then one
will escape from destruction or humiliation by God’s leave and through His
subtle kindness. If one sees a prophet suffering from poverty and asking for help
in a dream, it means that God Almighty will satisfy all the needs of the person
seeing such a dream for the sake of the blessings reserved for that prophet. If
one kills a prophet in a dream, it means that he will betray a trust, negate a
promise, or deny a covenant. Living in the time of one of God’s prophets on earth
in a dream means honor, dignity, success, piety and wealth if one is suited for
such gifts. Otherwise, it means that Satan is deceiving him. If a prophet of God
Almighty beats a righteous and a sincere believer in a dream, it means that he
will attain peace and salvation in his life in the hereafter. If a prophet talks to
someone in a dream, it means that he will receive blessings, honor, status,
knowledge, wisdom and fame in his life. (Also see Muhammad, upon whom be
peace.)

pilgrimage to Mecca and pelting stones in the valley of Mina at a placed called
Jamarat. Pelting stones in a dream also means harshness, toughness, slander,
or youth. Collecting pebbles for pelting from a marketplace, a street, under the
trees, or in a farmland in a dream means receiving financial benefits. Collecting
pebbles at the foot of a tree in a dream means receiving a gift from a person in
authority, or profits from the sea, learning at the hand of a good teacher, a gift
from a wealthy wife, or they could mean the birth of a son if one does not have
a son. Throwing pebbles in the sea in a dream means wasting one’s money.
Throwing pebbles in a well in a dream means benefiting from a marriage or a
business. (Also see Gravel, Pelting stones)

Lice
Lice in a dream mean worldly success and prosperity. If one finds lice in his

it means indebtedness. Lice on the floor in a dream represent weak people. If
they surround the person in his dream, it mean that he mixes with such people.
If he hates them in the dream, then they represent his enemies, though they
cannot cause him any harm. If they bite him in the dream, then they represent
people who slander him. If a louse flies away from one’s chest in a dream, it
means that one’s son or an employee has run away from his house or place of
business. If a large louse comes out of one’s skin in a dream, it means losing one’s
life. A louse in a dream also represents a woman, a housekeeper, a son, an
illness, an invading army, soldiers, depression, or distress. For a ruler or a
policeman, lice represent his helpers. As for a teacher, lice in a dream represent
his students, and for merchants, they represent his envious competition, while
for a craftsperson or tradesmen they mean taxes. As for sick people, lice in a
dream represent what seems to be a lasting illness. Cutting a louse in half in
a dream means being good toward one’s children. Eating a louse in a dream
means backbiting someone. A colony of lice in a dream represent punishment.
Lice in a dream also represent one’s dependents or relatives who backbite,
slander and divide the family. An invasion office in a dream means blessings,
wealth, relief from difficulties, dispelling all worries and sorrows. Killing a louse
in a dream means the same in wakefulness. If one wakes up from a dream in
which lice were attacking him, it means that he will not escape from depression,
difficulties or adversities. Picking up a louse from one’s shirt or garment in a
dream means hearing lies. If one becomes allergic to lice and starts itching in
a dream, it means debts. Plant lice in a dream represent wrath, a calamity or
a punishment. (Also see Nit)

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
