(Changing form) Transformation by substitution in a dream
where one thing is converted into something else. If a withered tree is trans¬
formed into a blossoming one in a dream, it means political changes, changes
in worldly conditions, or reversal of conditions from good to bad, or from bad to
good. This element includes the transformation of inner substances or physical
ones. For example, if sees himself as an old person in a dream, when in real life
he is young, it means progress in his spiritual life and gaining honor. If he is an
old person and sees himself as a young boy in a dream, it means indulging in
wrongdoing. If one sees a known old person regaining his youth, it means that
the material conditions of the person seeing the dream will turn around to one’s
advantage or otherwise, i.e., richness into poverty and vice-versa, or if he is sick,
he will recover from his illness. If one is transformed into a beautiful shoot of
green or a blossoming branch of a tree in a dream, it means that he may die
within a short time. Becoming taller in a dream means longevity, prosperity, or
begetting a son. If one finds himself missing partial mental keenness or physical
abilities or a limb in a dream, it means that he may suffer losses relating to his
worldly interests. If a man sees himself transformed into a woman, and wears
her apparels, ornaments and make-up in a dream, it means that he may suffer
humiliation, adversities and abuse. If a woman sees herself transformed into a
man, or if she grows a beard in a dream, it means that she will reestablish her
connection with a missing child. As a man in the dream, and if she is pregnant,
it means that she will beget a son who may die in his early youth, but if she is
not pregnant, it means that she is no longer fertile. If one sees himself flying with
wings in a dream, it means travels. If one sees himself transformed into a
wooden staff in a dream, it represents his insolence. If one sees himself
transformed into an iron rod in a dream, it means longevity. If one sees himself
transformed into a bridge in a dream, it means that he may become a ruler, a
wise man, or a man of knowledge whom people will seek to benefit from his
wisdom. If a person sees his sick child turn into a bird in a dream, it means the
death of the child. If one sees himself turned into a beast in a dream, it means
that he will be segregated from the believers to live alone because of his evil
qualities. If one sees himself turned into a deer, a gazelle or an antelope in a
dream, it means that he will become obsessed with his sexual life, or that he will
become mentally deranged to the degree of indulging in bisexual practices. If he
turns into a pig in a dream, it means prosperity surrounded with absence of
human dignity. If one sees a steer transformed into a wolf in a dream, it
represents a government employee who will turn unjust. However, according to
Islamic interpretations of the human transformation into a lower category of
creatures phenomena, if such transformation takes place in real life, it connotes
a curse and a punishment, and it does not last for more than three days, and
it will culminate in death. (Also see Changing form)

Bridge
(Benefits) A bridge in one’s dream represents the pillars of one’s faith, the
straight path, the Bridge of the Day of Judgement or perhaps it could mean
knowledge, guidance, fasting, prayers, or any vehicle which assists one in his
escape from the evils of this world or the punishment for one’s sins in the
hereafter. A bridge in a dream also represents a pious worshiper who patiently
bears the harm people may inflict on him. It can also mean the path to fulfill
one’s needs, having a high ranking connection with the governor, or it could
represent one’s wife, father or mother. Each bridge in a dream represents its
own type. A bridge connecting two streets in a dream may lead to the ruler or
to someone in his cabinet, particularly if it is built from stones and covered with
baked bricks. If it is a small bridge, then it can represent the secretary, door
attendant of a governor, a superior, or it can be interpreted as a pimp. If a bridge
which is built from stone is transformed in one’s dream to look as if it were made
of dirt, it means changing of one’s status and vice-versa. If one sees himself
transformed into a bridge in a dream, it means that he will be elected for a
leadership post, and people will need him, his prestige and what he can offer.

Lizard
(Bewitch; Free; Gecko; Independent; Wall gecko; Witch) Seeing a lizard in
a dream means greed, gluttony, or difference in opinion and taste. A lizard in
a dream also represents a person who swindles people’s money. It also means
a sickness, or it could represent a wicked, damned and abhorred person, or a
lonesome person. Perhaps seeing a lizard in a dream may mean suspicious or
tainted money, someone of an unknown lineage, a reincarnated or transformed
person in the form of a lizard. Noting here that transformation of the human

Pregnancy
(Childbearing; Planting) In a dream, a pregnancy indicates woman’s
success, diligence and assiduity in pursuing her goals. In a dream, pregnancy
also means receiving recognition, respect and prosperity. If a man sees himself
pregnant in a dream, it means that he suffers from heaviness in his life, or it
could represent one’s fear of exposing his problems in public. In general,
pregnancy in a dream represents material gains. If a woman sees herself
pregnant in a dream, it means difficulties and adversities beside some troubling
secrets she maybe hiding. However, for a learned man, pregnancy in a dream
may represent increase in his knowledge, while for a craftsman, it means
achieving unrivalled excellence in his trade. Pregnancy in a dream also means
being madly in love, or having passionate attachment to someone, or planting
seeds in the wrong place, or beingbisexual or a deviate, or suffering from dropsy,
or perhaps it could mean that a thief will enter his house to steal something, or
to hide a stollen object, or that one may steal something and hide it from its true
owner, or that he may get sick from eating spoiled food, or it could mean that
he may bury a dear person, or that he is affected and a liar, or he may hide his
real beliefs and show a better standing in public, or it may represent an accident
or a fire. As for a woman, her pregnancy in a dream means losing her virginity
before marriage, or that she will marry an unsuitable person. If a barren woman
sees her self pregnant in a dream, it means a bad harvest for that year, or it could
mean a robbery in her neighborhood. If an unmarried woman or a young virgin
sees herself pregnant in a dream, it means that she will find a compatible
husband. Pregnancy in a dream has many meanings. In a dream, woman’s
pregnancy means wealth, and man’s pregnancy means pain and sorrow. However,
generally speaking, pregnancy in a dream also could mean prosperity and
material success. The extent of wealth is measured by the number of months of
such pregnancy and the size of one’s growth in the dream. This is true whether
it is a man or a woman in the dream. If a young boy who is under the age of
puberty sees himself pregnant in a dream, it represents his father, and if a young
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
his desire for material success. If one sees his pregnant wife delivering a baby
boy in a dream, it means that she will give birth to a girl and the opposite maybe
true, except if it is common for the person in the dream to experience in
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
had sexual intercourse with her husband, it means that she will discover a
hidden treasure. A pregnant animal in a dream denotes benefits or profits. (Also
