around the waist, also known as a sash or a cummerbund represents one’s
father, mother or paternal uncle. Tying a cummerbund around one’s waist in a

bunds in a dream means longevity. A cummerbund in a dream also represents
one’s son or it could denote a bigman. If a ruler offers a cummerbund to someone
in a dream, it means that he is appointing him to a high ranking position.
Wearing a cummerbund without ornaments in a dream means that one will
receive the help of a great and a noble person, including moral and financial
support. If one is rich, then it means that he will have a great friend to support
him and whose inner thoughts and intentions are better than what one may
think. If a poor person ties a cummerbund around his waist in a dream, it means
extra earnings or power. If the cummerbund is studded and adorned with jewels
in the dream, then such jewels represent one’s helpers, supporters or obedient
subjects. Such associates will carry on his commands whether they purport good
or evil. Somehow, such a leader will also be unjust and hypocritical. If the
ornaments are made of iron in the dream, it means that his associates are a
group of strong people. If the ornaments are made from copper, then such
associates care only for worldly gains. If the ornaments are made from led in the
dream, it means that they are weak people. If the ornaments are made from
silver in the dream, it means that the master or leader is a wealthy person and
he will be followed by a strong son who will carry the work of his father. If one
is given a cummerbund, and if he does not wear it in the dream, then it means
travels. A broken cummerbund in a dream means loss of power or perhaps one’s
death. If one sees a snake rather than a cummerbund around his waist in a
dream, it represents a money belt. A cummerbund in a dream also means work
for a jobless person, a wife for an unmarried person, and should it be carrying
many ornaments, then it means the added blessing of having several children.

back in a dream, it means that one will suffer from defamation, or be falsely
accused of sexually harassing or abusing a woman. If one’s shirt is torn from the
front in the dream, then it becomes a proof of his guilt. Seeing the shirt of the
Prophet Joseph (uwbp) in a dream means that an emissary of good intent will
bring glad tidings, and for someone who is suffering from eye problems, it means

with a ball, or jumping while performing acrobatic exercises, or gymnastic feats
in a dream means profits or benefits for someone who is used to play such games,
or participates in such training. Otherwise, it could mean facing dangerous or
severe adversity. In a dream, jumping from place to place also means false news,

Stream
(Brook; Creek; Irrigation; Rivulet; Watering) In a dream, a stream
represents the course of one’s livelihood, his source of income, his shop, his
trade, travels and the like interests. A stream in a dream also could mean
festering wounds, waterskin, watering irrigation, the resting area on the
highway, one’s throat which is the watering access of his body, or it could
represent life if it is public property. If it is a private property, then it represents
the life of the person who digs out such a stream. A stream in a dream also
represents a good life, or the comfort of its owner. If its water flows over its banks
in the dream, then it represents sorrows, crying, or sadness. If one sees a stream
flowing through people’s homes in a dream, then such a stream represents a
happy life and particularly when its water is colorless and sweet tasting. If one
sees himself as the owner of a stream, a spring, or a watercourse which he
establishes as a charity in a dream, it means that he will become a leader, a
president, or happily serve his community. If one cleans a rivulet then finds it
filthy again, or finds it filled with trash in his dream, it represents diarrhea. If
he sees water flowing under his feet in a dream, then it means dropsy. If one sees
a stream of water running through a town where people are filling their jars,
drinking its water and thanking God for His blessings in a dream, it means that
a calamity is removed and is replaced with peace, safety and tranquility. If the
people are inflicted with adversities or a drought, then it means prosperity and
rains, food, or money and their merchandise will not stagnate. If the water in
the stream is murky, or salty, or running outside its canal, then it represents
a coming calamity that will cause mass sufferings, or a sickness such as cold in
the winter and fever in the summer, or it could mean that they will hear bad
news about some travellers, or it could represent a richness which is acquired
from an unlawful source, or it could mean that he will receive tainted money.
If one sees a watercourse flowing only in the direction of his house, then such
adversities will be his lot. If one sees a stream flowing in the direction of his
house, or garden in a dream, it means a marriage or conceiving a child. A stream
of flowing blood rather than water in a dream represents the deviation of one’s wife.
If one sees a stream running off its course, or damaging people’s crops in
a dream, it means bad news. Blocking the path of a stream in a dream means
separation between a husband and a wife, or avoiding a sinful action between
unmarried relatives. If one sees himself standing behind a rivulet in a dream,
it means that his wife will inherit him. If one sees the water of a stream flowing
toward his own home or garden, and if he finds that its water has turned into
blood in the dream, it means that someone will marry his wife after him.

the joy of living or longevity. A murky water of a rivulet or a stream in a dream
means a fright, difficulties, or a sickness. Streams in a dream also represent the

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

ditures, or immobility. A broken kneecap in a dream means separation between

funeral in his dream, it means that he will buy a house. Digging a grave in a
dream means getting married, though through tricking the woman to get her
consent. Standing over a grave in a dream means committing a sin. If one sees
himself digging a grave and upon completing his work, if he discovers that what

such ground represents the abode of the hereafter. If he then enters it in his
dream, it signifies that his life term in this world has come to its conclusion. If
he does not enter it in the dream, then there are no consequences to his dream.
Seeing a known grave in a dream is a proof of what is true and a sign of what
will unfailingly come. An unknown grave in a dream represents a hypocrite.

also could mean the reversal of one’s condition for the worst. Becoming a
prisoner in a dream also could mean making unnecessary and wasted efforts to
unveil a secret. In general, prison in a dream means difficulties and humiliation.
If one sees a known personality or a government administrator imprisoned or
jailed, it could mean the same. If one sees himself incarcerated in a large prison
in a dream, it means that he will stand before a strong person who will delegate
an important responsibility to him, and from which he will gain spiritual
advancement. If he is incarcerated in an unknown jail which is built from plaster
in a dream, then it represents his grave. If one sees himself locked and tied-up
inside a house in a dream, it means a positive advancement in his life. If in such
a place one sees himself being tortured in a dream, it means that his benefits
and profits will be greater. If a woman sees herself imprisoned in a dream, it
means that she will marry an important person or an older person. If in one’s
dream the prison is administered by a religious authority, it means that one
correctly prescribes to his religion. If it is a civil prison, then it means adver¬
sities, sufferings and distress caused by hypocrisy and by blaming others. An
unknown prison in a dream means the world. A prison in a dream also
represents an ill-natured wife, a difficult cause, silence, or controlling one’s
tongue, the perfidy of one’s enemy, accusations, allegations, associating with
rich people, one’s grave, suspension of travels because of an illness, losing one’s
drive, poverty, or unhappiness. Entering a prison in a dream also means
longevity, or reuniting with one’s beloved. If one chooses to live in a sanctuary
away from people in a dream, it means that he will be protected from sin. If a
sick person leaves his prison cell in a dream, it means that he will recover from
his illness. If a prisoner sees the gates of his jail open, or if there is a hole in the
wall, or a ray of light, or if the ceiling of one’s prison disappears and he can see
the skies and stars above him, or if he can see them through the walls of his cell
in a dream, it means that he will escape from jail. A prison in a dream also
represents the safe return of a traveller, or the death of a sick person. If one sees
himself imprisoned and tide-up by someone in authority in a dream, it repre¬
sents adversities he wishes for them to be removed. Walking out of such an
imprisonment in a dream means relief from such adversities If one is travelling,
it means that he is a heedless, and if he is sick, it means that his sickness is a
prolonged one. It is also said that imprisonment in a dream may mean that one’s
prayers are answered and that his difficulties and distress will be removed. If
one sees himself incarcerated in an unknown jail of an unknown location and
whose dwellers have uncommon appearance in a dream, such a prison then
represents his grave. If a sick person sees himself walking out of an unknown
prison, or out of a tiny house into a large open space in a dream, it means that
he will recover from his illness and fully enjoy his life. If one sees himself
incarcerated in a prison he does not recognize in a dream, it means that he will
marry a woman through whom he will prosper and have children. If one sees
himself tied-up inside his own house in a dream, it means that he will profit and
witness blessings that will show in his household members. If one who is
experiencing difficulties in his life sees himself tied-up to a chair or to a wall in
a dream, it means that his problems and fears will be dispelled. If one sees
himself building a prison in a dream, it means that he will meet a righteous man,
or an Imam who will guide him on the straight path. A prison in a dream also

people. If one sees a deceased person in jail in a dream, it means that he is in
hell. If one sees himself imprisoned in a dream, it also means that he may enter

Vice-regent
(Calif; Caliphate; Deputy; Human being; Minister; Ruler; Secretary
of state; Vizier) In a dream, a vice-regent represents someone whom people seek
for his knowledge, or to learn the mastery of his craft, or he could represent an
appointed justice of the peace. He also represents someone who inherits good
and bad qualities, or whose character is different privately from the way he
portrays himself in public. If one sees the vice-regent of the land in a stately
appearance, or if he sees himself in such a form in a dream, it denotes his good
state in this world and his success in the hereafter. Seeing him wearing an
unsuitable garment in a dream reflects one’s own state, or it may mean that his
current religious state is weak, though it may become better at a latter stage
of his life. A vice-regent or a calif in a dream also represents someone who
establishes the laws of his religion and follows the example of God’s Prophet,
upon whom be peace. Whatever he is wearing in the dream connotes one’s own
state, or the growing or diminishing of his devotion. If one who is promised
something sees the vice-regent or the calif in his dream, it means that his
promise will be fulfilled, and his wishes will come true. Seeing him in a dream
also means that someone from a different circle is backbiting him, or speaking
of him without his consent, or that people are reporting him to the authorities,
or that scholars are discussing him, or mentioning his work. A vice-regent or a
calif in a dream also represents aloofness, seclusion, truthfulness, volunteering
one’s services, commanding what is good and forbidding what is evil, developing
one’s own certitude and faith, repentance, abstaining from sinful actions,
imprisonment, sickness, or travels. If one sees himself being awarded the seat
of the vice-regent or calif in a dream, though he does not suit the position, it
means that adversities and temptations will befall the land, though the people
of knowledge and the righteous ones will escape such danger. It could also mean
that he will suffer humiliation, and that the people whom he manages may rise
to preside over him.

wealthy people to make his commission by advising them to place their money
into bad investments. If a sick person sees termites inside his house or clinging
to his skin in a dream, it also means his death. If one sees termites eating his

Construction worker
(Carpenter; Mason; Woodworker; Workman) Seeing a
construction worker in a dream means both poverty or richness, or he could
denote travels or uncertainty about what profession one should get into to earn
his livelihood, or he could represent someone who patiently carries someone
else’s burdens, or someone who fabricates a story, or someone who embellishes
a story with lies, or someone who mixes the lawful with the unlawful. A
construction worker in a dream also represents someone who stirs-up people
against one another for a price. If some dust falls over him during his work in
the dream, it means that he will benefit accordingly, and if no dust falls over
him duringhis work in the dream, it means that he will get nothing from inciting
people against one another. If one sees a construction worker demolishing a wall
or a house in a dream, it means that some enmity will grow between friends that
could bring about the death of one of them. (Also see Carpenter; Digging; Labor;
Pickax)

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)

Perhaps it could mean that one will befriend a noble person, or meet a good
companion on the road. Owning a mare in a dream means begetting a beautiful
son. If it is a nag or a workhorse in the dream, it means that he will live satisfied,
or that he may marry a rich and a noble woman who will bear his children.

in a dream, it means loss of his house or business. The fit of a horse in the dream
represent man’s own state. Descending from a horse in a dream means committing
a sin that will force one to resign from his position, or be dismissed from his work.
A hairy horse in a dream represents a large family. If the tail of one’s horse is
cut off at its end in a dream, it means that one may come to see the death of his
children and clan before his own eyes. If the tail of one’s horse is simply clipped
in the dream, it connotes his own death and that his name will be quickly
forgotten. If one is attacked by a horse in a dream, it means that a noble person,
or a young boy will stand to him and require a just retribution from him. A flying
horse with two wings in a dream means that one may be tried with affections
toward a perverted boy or a woman who will tempt him then follow him. If a
descendent of the family of God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, sees himself
flying on a winged horse in a dream, it means that he will rise in station and
preside over people. If one sees horsemen coming through the skies in a dream,
it means that a war may take place in that land. Riding a horse and holding a
spear in one’s hand in a dream means forcing people to do something, or forcing
them to pay what they owe. If one sees his horse drowning in a dream, it means
that he may die from an illness. Buying a horse and tending the money to the
seller in the dream means profits in one’s business, or earning money from

in a war. If one kills a horse in his dream, it means that he will be awarded
status, rank and money. Slaughtering a horse for other than food in a dream
means spoiling one’s livelihood. If one sees a horse whose owner is not known
entering a town in a dream, it means that a noble person will enter that town
and people of his trade will fear his competition or his becoming a danger to their
business. If such a horse reverts his course and leaves that town in the dream,
it means that a great, though unknown person from that locality will die shortly.
Horses running across the streets in a dream represent a destructive rain or
devastating floods. A feeble horse in a dream represents the weakness of his

Transformation
(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)

brother, brother in-law, or father in-law. If she is pregnant, it means that she
will beget a daughter. If a man sees himself wearing a waistband in a dream,
it represents a woman in his family to whom it is unlawful for him to marry. A
broken belt in a dream means a fight with one’s wife. If one’s waistband becomes
a snake in the dream, it means enmity with his brother in-law. If his waistband
is drenched in blood in the dream, it means that he may get killed because of
his wife, or that he may conspire to kill his wife. Wearing a belt in a dream also

Ascending in the skies
(Climbing; Rising) To see oneself ascending in the skies
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,

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

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)

Rain
(Clouds; Drizzling; Life; Vapor; Water) If no harm or destruction is caused
by a rainstorm in a dream, then it means blessings, profits and mercy. Rain in
a dream also represents life, an earthly being, or fulfillment of a promise. If the
rain falls exclusively on a particular location in a dream, it means sorrow and
distress for its dwellers, or it could mean the loss of a beloved. If one sees rain
falling exclusively over his house in a dream, it means personal blessings.
Otherwise, it he sees it falling over the whole town in the dream, it means
blessings for everyone. Rain falling exclusively over one’s house in a dream also
means that someone will fall sick in that house, or suffer from a debilitating and
excruciating pain. If the skies rain stones or blood in a dream, it means
calamities and punishment for people’s sins. If it rains dust or sand in a dream,
it represents an unjust ruler in that locality. If the skies rain dirt without dust,
it also means prosperity and a good harvest. If a traveller sees rain in a dream,
it means hindrances along his journey. A destructive rainstorm in a dream
denotes dishonesty, cheating with measures, or the spread of sodomy in the
community. Seeing a destructive rainstorm tearing down structures, destroying
homes and pulling down tress in a dream represents a punishment for the
corruption and sins of the dwellers of that place. A good rain in a dream could

sweet, fresh and pure waters. Rain in a dream also means reviving an old and
a stagnant matter, or it could mean benefits, profits, blessings, relief from
distress, payment of debts, or feeling relief. In a dream, a good rain means

him. If the rain falls in season in one’s dream, it means roadblock barring
travels, business losses, inability to get medicine for a sick person because of
one’s poverty, or it could mean imprisonment. If one washes himself in the rain,

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
is seeking has reachd its term. If one completes his Maghrib prayers in the
dream, it means that he will get what his heart desires. As for the night prayer,
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
in a dream means deception and a tricks. If one sees himself performing the
Friday congregational prayers in a dream, it means that he will attain what he
is hoping for. If one sees himself praying inside a garden in a dream, it means

praying in a farmland in a dream, it means repayment of his debts. If he prays
inside a slaughter house in a dream, it means that he will commit the loathsome

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

celebrations, the pilgrimage season, abstaining from borrowing money for one’s

providing the necessary care for one’s family, while performing the supplementary
prayers {arb. Sunnah) means working to provide extra comforts for one’s family.
The same interpretation is provided for performing the congregational night
prayers of the month of Ramadan known in Arabic as Tarawih. Seeing that in
a dream means taking care of the family needs and bringing comfort to their
hearts. During a congregational prayer, if the rows are straight in the dream,
it means that such people are in a constant state of celebrating God’s praises.
Supererogatory prayers in a dream also mean striving for unity with one’s
community, love for one’s brethren and constantly trying to serve and please
them with deeds, money, moral and financial support. If the person seeing the
dream is unmarried, it means that he will get married. If he is married, it means

any supererogatory prayer, whether during the day or the night in a dream
means performing a good deed that brings someone closer to his Lord, or
reconciling adversaries, or fostering love between people. If one sees himself
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
himself wearing a white garb and reading the Quran in the dream, it means that
he will join the caravan of pilgrims to Mecca. God knows best. (Also see Death;

Stairway
(Conveyor; Steps; Travels) In a dream, stairways represent the vehicle
of rising in station, advancement in worldly gains, seeking the blessings of the
hereafter, and the rising of one’s station in the hereafter. A stairway in a dream
also could represent the days of one’s life and their term. If one sees a staircase
which he recognizes in the dream, it could represent the servant of a house, its
owner, or its accountant. If a sick person sees himself climbing an unknown
staircase which is leading him to the upper room from where he can see paradise
in the dream, it means that he may die from his illness and reach what he saw.
If obstacles hinder his way or impede his climb in the dream, it means that he
is detained, and the immediate blessings of such a gift will be veiled to him.
Descending a staircase in a dream means arriving from a journey, resigning
from one’s job, impeachment, or it could represent a pedestrian. If one’s descent
leads him to his family, house, or farmland in the dream, it means money. If
what he reaches at the end of the staircase is unknown, and if one meets people,
or souls he does not recognize in the dream, it also denotes what we have earlier
explained. If during one’s climb or descent he falls into a well, or if a giant bird
grabs him and flies away with him, or if a beast devours him, or if he steps into
a boat that sails away as he steps into it, or if he takes a step to find himself
riding an animal, or a vehicle of some type, the staircase then represents the
stages of one’s life and what he encountered during the journey of his life,
all replayed or screened before his eyes at the point of descending into his grave,
or as a book one reads after his death. If he does wake up and finds himself
healthy and fit, it means that he will become a tyrant, an unjust person, an
atheist and a reprobate. If one sees himself descending a staircase that leads
him into a mosque, lush foliage, green fields, a fresh breeze of spring, or into a
pond to take a ritual ablution to perform his prayers in the dream, it means that
he will become a true believer, repent for his his sins and abandon his
blameworthy conduct. Otherwise, if he descends upon adverse elements such as
snakes, lions, steep hills, corpses, or a field of scattered remains in a dream, then
it represents major trials and adversities. If the steps are made of clay in one’s
dream, they indicate positive signs. However, a stairway could be regarded as
unfavorable if its steps are made of backed bricks. If they are made of stones in
the dream, they mean business success, along with a heart like a stone. If the
staircase is made of wooden steps in the dream, it means reaching a high rank
which is compounded with hypocrisy. If they are made of gold in the dream, then
they mean achieving success and gaining authority. If they are made of silver
in the dream, they represent one’s entourage and attendants. Climbing a
staircase in a dream also means sharpening one’s intellect and awareness. In
a dream, a stairway is also interpreted to mean leading a life of ascetic
detachment and devotion. Coming near a staircase in a dream also means
attaining success and a growing piety. Each step represents a different station.
Climbing a staircase in a dream also represents the dangers one may have to
cross. Seeing a staircase with five steps in a dream represents the five time
prayers, or the pulpit where the Imam stands to deliver his Friday sermon. That
is why some interpreters qualify the staircase in one’s dream as glad tidings,
good news, prayers, charity, alms giving, fasting, or a pilgrimage. God knows
best.

Bed
(Couch; Mattress; Sleeping pad) Abed without covers in a dream represents
travels, a wife, honor or a high rank. Sitting on abed in a dream means regaining
power or authority over something one had lost control. If the bed has it covers
on, then it means ruling over a group of hypocrites who live in heedlessness. If
it is not covered, then it means a journey. If one sees himself wearing his shoes
and sitting on his bed in a dream, it means that he will undertake a trip in the
company of an ostentatious person. Sitting on a bed in a pleasant surrounding
in a dream means honor and power. The covers of one’s bed in a dream represent
his wife, his livelihood, or his mistress. Whatever stands on top of a bed
represents one’s male children and whatever is hidden under it represents one’s
female children. A bed in a dream also represents happiness, joy and dignity.
It may also represent a wife, a ship, or a coffin. If one’s bed falls apart or breaks
into pieces in a dream, it means loss of authority, dismissal from one’s job,
divorcing one’s wife, or it could mean her death. If one sees himself sitting over
an unknown bed in a dream, it means marriage or conceiving a child. Sitting
over a bed without a mattress means death, or a business trip. If a woman sees
herself bringing a bed into her house in a dream, it means that she will get
married. If a sick person sees himself sitting up in his bed in a dream, it means
that he will recover from his illness. (Also see Couch; Mattress)

Night
(Darkness; Heedlessness; Ignorance) In a dream, a moonless night represents
lack of work, stagnation, or losing one’s job. If one sees the whole world in the
dark and the moon is still radiant in the skies in a dream, it means that the
governor will temporarily relinquish his entire duties to his chief minister or
secretary, and that thieves and robbers will cluster around them for business.
If one then sees the daylight in his dream, it means that such an adversity will
pass. If people are under siege in the dream and the daylight dawns after a long
dark night in a dream, it means that their siege will be lifted. If people are
suffering from high prices and someone sees that dream, it means that prices
will go back to normal. If they are suffering from tyranny, it too will pass. The
night in a dream also means marital relations, while the day means separation
between them. In a dream, the darkness of night also represents heedlessness
and particularly if one witnesses thunder and lightning in his dream. Seeing a
complete darkness inside one’s house in a dream means taking a long journey.
The night and the day in a dream represent two adverse rulers, or two
competitors or adversaries. The night in a dream also represents an atheist,
while the day in a dream represents a believer. The night in a dream also
signifies comfort and rest, while the day means toiling and hardships. In a
dream, the night also means sexual pleasures, while the day means divorce or
separation. The night in a dream signifies economic stagnation, while the day
means business, travels and hypocrisy. If the night in a dream is interpreted to
represent the ocean, then the day means land. The night in a dream also means
death, while the day represents life and resurrection. The night and the day
together may represent the two guardian angels who record each person’s deeds
and who are God’s witnesses. If a sick person sees the dawn in a dream, it means
that he will recover from his illness, or die from it. If he is imprisoned, it means
that he will be released. If he is a sinner, it means that he will repent for his
sins. If he is a merchant and his business is not moving, it means that his
merchandise will be finally sold. The nightfall at the end of the day in a dream
also could mean the opposite. Seeing the night in a dream also denotes constant
changes in one’s life, poverty, hunger, starvation, or death. The night and the
day in a dream also represent wisdom and protocols, or indulging in something
one will regret. The nightfall in a dream also may denote changing times, or
changing trends. The night in a dream also could represent an African woman,
while the day may represent a Caucasian woman, or a pregnant woman. The
night in a dream also represents the evening gown, while the day represents
work. The night in a dream also means veiling one’s difficulties and taking
refuge in a safe place, except if the one seeing the dream is a traveller, then the
night in his dream means injustice and ignorance. The night in a dream also
denotes devotion, holding a night vigil, attaining one’s goal, or meeting with
one’s beloveds. (Also see Darkness; Evening; Moon; Night of power)

Palm tree
(Date palm) A palm tree in a dream represents a sire, a scholar, a noble
man or a wise man who imparts his knowledge and wisdom to others. Cutting
a palm tree in a dream means the death of such a man. Seeing a plantation of
palm trees, or an oasis or palm trees in a dream mean leadingpeople and guiding
them on the straight path. If a merchant or a trader sees a palm tree in his
dream, it means business success. If a shopkeeper sees a palm tree in his dream,
it also means profits. A dead and dried out palm tree in a dream represents a
hypocrite. To uproot a palm tree in a dream means that a plague will befall that
place, or it could mean suffering from the persecution of an unjust ruler.
Uprooting a palm tree in a dream also means a dead end to one’s plans, or it could
mean a dispute. A palm tree in a dream also represents one’s paternal aunt.
Palm trees in a dream also represent Arab women. If one sees a seedling become
a big palm tree in a dream, it means that a child in that community will grow
to be a great scholar. It also connotes that a weak person will grow strong. Seeing
a palm tree in a dream also means longevity, a scholar, a teacher, children, a
wife, a house, a property, a king, a year, new clothing, money, or bearing a child.

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)

overdoing one’s duty, or a miscarriage for a pregnant woman. To sally one’s
clothing with someone’s feces in a dream means borrowing money from him or
carrying his favor for a longtime to come. Feces in a dream also denote earnings
from an unjust and a loathsome person. Excreting in a dream also means
dispelling one’s worries or getting rid of one’s burdens. If one excretes in the
ablution room in his dream, it means that his spendings or deeds are recognized
to be a fulfillment of his desires, ostentatiousness and love for fame. If one
excretes in an unknown place in a dream, it means that his deeds will not be
acknowledged, nor will he receive any reward for them. Going to the bathroom
in a dream means dispelling one’s worries, paying one’s debts or paying an
unavoidable alimony for his children. Putting a shirt in the wilderness and
defecating inside it rather than in the field in a dream means committing a sin
and carrying its consequences for sometime to come. Excreting in the wilder¬
ness, then covering one’s feces with dirt in a dream means hiding money. To
defecate in a marketplace in public in a dream means incurring God’s displeasure
and the curse of His angels. Throwing feces at someone in a dream means
starting a fight or opposing him in opinion, being unjust to him, or causing him
great losses. The consequences also may backfire at the assailant. If one sees
himself standing inside the sewers and searching through the filth with a stick
in his dream, it means that he might become a judge and be accused of bribery
or misuse of people’s money. Seeing human excrements in a dream means
abstraction of movement, stalling of businesses, or facing complex and harmful
adversities. To soil oneself with people’s feces in a dream means sickness or fear,
or it could mean good benefits for a person whose acts are filthy and abominable.

Digging
(Excavate) Digging the earth in a dream means profits equal to the
measure of earth one piles-up if the dirt is dry. However, if the ground is wet
in the dream, it means deceiving someone else in a business venture, whereby,
he gains nothing from it but headache and exhaustion equal to the amount of
earth he piles-up. The digger’s plot also may backfire. If a sick person or if
someone in his household who is sick sees himself digging the earth in a dream,
it could mean digging a grave. If a business traveller sees himself digging the
earth, it represents his travels and the dirt he gathers represent his profits.
Digging a hole, a water well or irrigations and planing to water the plants
through them in a dream means looking for a job to earn one’s livelihood and
to bring its benefits to his family. Eating from the dirt one digs in his dream,
means profits earned from deception. Finding oneself inside a hole in a dream
means that one may divorce his wife. If one sees himself outside a hole, looking
at it in a dream, it means an argument with her which will end in reconciliation.
If a sick person sees himself coming out of a hole in a dream, it means recovering
from illness or being set free from prison. If one sees himself digging the earth
in a dream, it also means muddling in falsehood to earn nothing but wrath.

in fact she is not pregnant means wealth. If a pregnant woman sees herself

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

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¬
ments are restricted. If a traveler sees his wife giving birth to a new child in a
dream, it means obstruction of his travels and changes in his plans. If a woman

that her child will grow to be a thief. Childbirth in a dream means relief from
hardships, recovering from illness or departure from one’s home or neighbor¬
hood. Childbirth in a dream also means comfort, relaxation, payment of one’s
debts and repentance from sin. If a woman gives birth to a son in a dream, it

Moses
(God’s prophet Moses, upon whom be peace.) If one sees God’s prophet
Moses, upon whom be peace, in a dream, it means that God Almighty will
destroy a tyrant at his hands. Following that, the person seeing the dream will
rise in station, continue to attain one victory after another, and he will never
be humiliated or defeated. Seeing Moses (uwbp) in a dream also denotes the
strength of righteous people, and the inevitable defeat of iniquitous people. If
at the time of seeing a dream with God’s prophet Moses (uwbp) there exist a
tyrant or an ungodly leader, it means that God Almighty will destroy him, and
one will be saved from his evil. If someone in authority becomes Moses (uwbp)
in a dream, or if he wears one of his cloaks, it means that he will vanquish his
enemy and fulfill what his heart desires. If one sees him (uwbp) in a prison or
persecuted, or if one fears a major event that could put and end to his life, or
an accident that could kill him, or a dangerous sea trip that could drown him,
it means that God willing, he will escape and survive such adversity. Seeing
Moses (uwbp) in a dream also means the end of tyranny, or victory in a war. If
one is oppressed, worried and distressed by his own family, and if he sees Moses
(uwbp) in a similar situation in a dream, it means that God Almighty will guide
him to a way to overcome them, or if a traveller sees such a dream, it means that
he will return safely to his home. Seeing Moses (uwbp) in a dream also indicates
trials duringone’s childhood, separation from one’s family, witnessinguncommon
miracles, or that one may suffer from his own family because of an admonition,
or it could represent a will he will leave to them, or it could mean commanding
good and eschewing evil. Seeing Moses (uwbp) in a dream also means love for
travel, praiseworthy intercession, sea travels, a safe return, profits, suffering
from slander and false accusations, or perhaps it could mean that one may have
weakness in his speech, or tottering, or that he may suffer from a head ill or
injury. If someone who has renounced worldly pleasures, an ascetic, or a pious
person sees Moses (uwbp) in a dream, it means increase in his wisdom, light in
his heart and elevation of his station. If a woman sees Moses (uwbp) in a dream,
she must fear loss of her child, or her dream could represent an adversity that
should have a happy ending. If a child sees Moses (uwbp) in a dream, the same
interpretation applies. If one sees himself carrying the staff of Moses (uwbp) in
a dream, it means that he will reach a high rank and win victory over his enemy.
If he is suffering from an evil spell or a sorcery, it means that it will be nullified.

Solomon
(God’s prophet Solomon, upon whom be peace.) God Almighty subju¬

denotes leadership, the seat of a judge, acquiring wisdom, or giving religious

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
divine endowment of an exalted station in this world, and greater blessings in
the hereafter. Seeing him (uwhp) in a dream also means trials with women and
ingratitude on their part. If the person who sees God’s prophet Solomon in a
dream is a governor, it means that he will be dismissed from his functions,
though his authority will be restored later on, or he could through cheating,
marry a rich woman. If the one who sees God’s prophet Solomon in a dream
practices sorcery, witchcraft, black magic, or invoking jinn or evil spirits, it
means that he will profit from his trade and become wealthy after having lost
hope in attaining such benefits, or he could triumph over his enemy. Whoever
sees God’s prophet Solomon (uwbp) in his dream will receive God’s favors,
including clear visions, clarity of religious interpretations, the ability to learn
many languages, or he could become a translator, or perhaps could master the
Arabic language. Seeing Solomon in a dream also means that one will recover
from an illness. If one gets hold of Solomon’s staff in a dream, it means that he
will engage in slander or calumny, and if he is sick, it means his death. Seeing
or finding Solomon’s ring in a dream means renewing one’s term of leadership,

people. If a woman sees God’s prophet Solomon (uwbp) in a dream, it means that
she will deceive her husband. Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also means that one
may acquire knowledge about herbal medicine. If one sees him laying dead on
his bed in a dream, it means that the calif, an army commander, a leader, or a

Pilgrimage
(Hajj) Performing the pilgrimage to Mecca, fulfilling its obligatory
pillars and celebrating its ceremonies in a dream represents one’s spiritual and
religious growth. It will bring him a great reward in this life and in the next,
appease his fears, and imply that he is a trustworthy person. If this dream
occurs during the pilgrimage season, it means profits for a merchant, recovery
for the sick, finding guidance after heedlessness, or it could mean that one will
perform his pilgrimage if he had not yet fulfilled this obligatory religious duty.
If one’s dream takes place outside the pilgrimage season, then it could mean the
opposite. If one sees himself as a pilgrim in a dream, and if he disdains from
actually perform his pilgrimage, though he possesses the means to do so, it
means that he is a reprobate and an ungrateful person. Performing one’s
pilgrimage in a dream also indicates the necessity to serve one’s parents and to
be true to them, or the duty to serve one’s teacher and be truthful with him.
Performing one’s pilgrimage in a dream also means visiting a gnostic, a saint,
a shaikh, a scholar, or it it could mean getting married, acquiring knowledge,
satisfying one’s needs, recuperating from an illness, repenting from sin, or
joining the company of pious people. If one travels to perform his pilgrimage
using a vehicle in a dream, it means that he will receive help from God Almighty.
If he travels on foot leading a camel in the dream, it means that he will do so
with the help of a woman. If he rides an elephant in the dream, it means that
he will perform his pilgrimage as a member of a governmental delegation. If one
travels on foot in the dream, it means that he has made a vow which he must
fulfil. Seeing oneself returning from a pilgrimage in a dream means profits and
relief from stress. If one carries his provisions with him in the dream, it means
that he stands before his Lord with piety and reverence. Carrying the pilgrims’s
provisions in a dream also means paying poor people their dues, or it could mean
paying one’s debts. If one sees himself going to perform his pilgrimage alone, and
the people standing up to pay their farewell to him in a dream, it means that
he will die shortly. (Also see Arafat; Circumambulation; Cradle of Ismail;

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

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

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

if one catches a goldfish from its belly in the dream, it means that God Almighty

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

concerns or lack of success in establishing a good livelihood. A new and well
made carpet in a dream also represents a long life to its owner, prosperity and
decisiveness. Seeing a carpet spread for one to sit on it and whose owner is

foreign land and succeed in establishing a good livelihood for himself. If in such
a place the carpet is thin in the dream, it means worldly gains and longevity.
Sitting on a carpet in a dream also means associating with leaders and judges.
If one’s carpet is stolen, burned or thinned in a dream, it means nearing the term

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
the safe home coming of a traveller. The death of an unknown woman in a dream
means absence of rain or dearth, and if she comes back to life in the dream, it
means rain. In general, the death of a woman in a dream means the death of a
child in wakefulness and vice-versa. If a deceased person tells someone in a
dream that he did not die, it means that he is blessed in the hereafter. Carrying
a deceased person in a dream means carrying the provisions or food supplies of
an irreligious and an ungodly person. Carrying a dead person in a different way
than one carries a deceased person to bury him in a dream means acquiring
unlawful money. Carrying a deceased person to bury him in a dream means
working for the governor.If one sees a deceased person sick in a dream, it means
that he is being questioned about forsaking his religious attendance during his
lifetime. If one sees the dwellers of the graveyards coming out of their grave to
eat people's harvest or food supplies in a dream, it means rising of food prices.
If he sees them drinking from the wells in a dream, it means that a great plague
will befall that town. If one sees a deceased person die, then if he walks in his
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.
Discovering a body of a deceased in a dream means finding money. Walking
behind a deceased person in a dream means following his footsteps or emulating
his trade or traditions, whether they be material or spiritual. If the Imam of the
country dies in a dream, it means destruction of that city by war. On the other

from his homeland, it means that he will return to it. Death in a dream has

dream is mere hallucination, or that he is experiencing disturbed dreams, for

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

means that what he says is false. Having sexual intercourse with a deceased
person in his grave in a dream means committing adultery or mixing with an
evil person or losing money to a deceitful and a hypocritical person. If one sees
that a deceased woman has come back to life, and if he engages in sexual
intercourse with her, then finds his body spattered with her ova and semen in
a dream, it means that he has committed something which he regrets. Consequently he will suffer losses because of it. To have a wedding with a deceased
person and to move to his or her house in the dream means one's own death.
Walking behind a deceased person and entering an unknown house from which
one does not come out again in the dream means death. If one follows the
deceased person and does not enter such a house in the dream, it means that
he will near his death, then recuperate from his illness. If a deceased person
beats the person seeing the dream, it means that one has displeased his Lord
and has committed an abominable act from which he should repent, for in the
abode of truth, a deceased person accepts only what pleases God Almighty and

who is willingly submitting to his fate in a dream, it represents the spiritual and
religious strength and the rank of the living person, his charities, prayers,

with him, acquire his intercession, reap success from his connection, fulfill his
needs, receive benefits in his travels, or if he qualifies, he may preside over a
group of poor people or guide seamen to their catch. If he is a poor person, it
means that his benefits to others are greater than if he were a rich person. If
a rich man sees himself eating the foot of another person in a dream, it means

means that he will lose all ofhis wealth, or that he may die shortly. One’s feet
in a dream also represent his parents or the leaders of the land. If one’s foot is
fractured in a dream, it means that he should not near the people of authorities
for some days or he better leave town for sometime and pray for his safety. If
a sick person sees his foot broken in a dream, it may mean his death. If one sees
one ofhis feet longer than the other in a dream, it means that he will travel and
profit from his journey, or receive the needed help during his journey. If he is
rich, it means that he will become sick. If a poor person sees himself having four
legs in a dream, it means that he will travel and receive help to accomplish his
goals. A rich person in that case may get sick, or it could mean longevity.
Walking on three feet in a dream means either that one will grow to be old, or
that through an ailment, he will not die until he uses a cane to help him walk.
If a ruler or a judge sees himself having many legs in a dream, it means that
he has many helpers. If one’s feet turn into iron in a dream, it means longevity

into led in the dream, it means that he may suffer from paralysis, unless if the
dream contains other elements that denote actions which are pleasing to God
Almighty. If one sees his foot without a covering skin in the dream, it means
longevity. In a dream, one’s toes represent good deeds. Experiencing foot pain

the morning in his dream, it could mean either glad tidings of a new born if he
is generous, or loss of his wealth if he is stingy. If a farmer sees the morning in

one loses something then finds it in the morning in his dream, it means that he
will provide a proof that will inculpate his enemy. If a sick person sees the
morning in his dream, it means either recovering from his illness, or it could

Stomach
In a dream, the stomach represents the elements of property, family,
secrets, one’s mate, prison, grave, health, sickness, friend, wayfarer, one’s
religious life and nature of one’s devotion. If in a dream one sees his stomach
open, it means that his business may be temporarily put out of commission, or
that he may lose any benefits he used to derive from it up to then. The other
aforementioned elements also may apply. If the person in question is a pregnant
woman, and if she sees her baby or any part of it comes out of her open stomach,
this may mean that a jailed person in her family will be set free, or that the
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
one’s personal life will become public knowledge. If one is actually complaining
of such an illness, his dream means that he will find a cure for it. If one sees that
he has no stomach in a dream, it means that he may lose a friend, or that his
guardian may die shortly, or that he may become a religious, ascetic and devoted
worshiper. If one sees fire coming out of his stomach in a dream, it means that
he will repent for stealing the properties of orphans. If one sees himself crawling
on his stomach in a dream, it shows him being needy and striving to barely feed
himself, or it may denote his materialistic character. The stomach in a dream
also represents the plains of a valley. It also can be interpreted as one’s tribal
belonging or a branch of his lineage. Entering a stomach in a dream means
travels, imprisonment, or returning home from one of the two. If one sees
himself inside the womb of his mother while he is traveling in a foreign land in
a dream, it means that he will return to his motherland to die and be buried
there. (Also see Body; Rumbling of one’s stomach)

Torah
Reciting the Torah but not recognizing what it is in a dream means that
one may become a fatalist. To own a copy of the Torah for a king or ruler in a
dream means that he will conquer a land or make peace with its people on his
terms. If he is learned in real life, it means that either his knowledge will
increase or that he will invent what is not ordained, or he may tend to lean
toward jovial company. Seeing the Torah in a dream also means finding what
is lost, welcoming a long awaited traveller, or it could represent someone who
follows the Jewish faith. As for an unmarried person, owning a Torah in a dream
means getting married to a woman from a different religion, or it could mean
marrying a woman without her parents’ consent. Seeing the Torah in a dream
also may mean extensive travels. If one’s wife is pregnant, it means that she will
bear a child who resembles his father. If one’s wife is pregnant, and if he sees
himself holding the Torah in a dream, it means that she will beget a daughter,
for the gender of the word Torah is feminine. It also means that he will mix with
evil companions. Similar interpretations are given to carrying other scriptures.
To see the Torah, or the Evangel, or the Gospel in a dream is as though one has
seen God’s Prophet Muhammad, upon whom be peace, because his name (uwbp)
is mentioned in all three of them. It could also mean betrayal, negating a
covenant, or desiring what is shoddy.

Air
Standing in the air in a dream means being honored or acknowledged by a
governor, though it will not last. If one has exaggerated hopes, arrogance, pride,
or if he is a self-centered individual, then his floating in the air represents mere
disturbed dreams. Walking in the air without ascending or descending in a
dream means receiving dignity, honor and earning lawful money. If one does not
qualify for it, then walking in the air in his dream means travels. Hanging in
the air between the heavens and the earth in a dream represents a concerned
heart and uncertainty about what to do! Falling in the air in a dream means
despair or loss of status in wakefulness. Falling in a dream also means relief
from distress, wantonness, or satisfying one’s needs. Clear, fresh and pure air
in a dream represents a good time to take a trip for business or pleasure. Air
in a dream also represents one’s desire and passion. Thus, disobeying one’s
mind, desire and passion in a dream means entering the heavenly paradise.
Following one’s desires in a dream means negligence of once religious duties.
Standing up in the air and speaking loud in a dream means blessings, favors,
money, honor and fame. Sitting in the air in a dream means arrogance and self-
deception regarding religious opinions. Building a house up in the air or placing
a mat in the air or raising a tent in the air means death of a sick person, and
what is built in this case is one’s own coffin. If a governor sees that dream, it
means his dismissal from his office or his death. Seeing that dream after a
wedding or after having marital relations with one’s wife means mistrust and
loss. It also means involvement in an uncouth action, lacking knowledge of the
Holy Book and prophetic traditions, because what one has built lacks a foun- dation. Flying in the air in a dream may mean travels. Flying with wings in a
dream has stronger connotations and is safer. The wings here will represent
money or power. Swimming in the air means benefits or business travels. If the
air looks opaque in one’s eyes, so he cannot see the skies in his dream, it means
problems with one’s superior. If one does not have a boss, then it means that he
may lose his sight. If all the people witnessed the air opaque or red in the dr earn,
then it means a major calamity and a trying adversity. (Also see Ascending in
the Skies; Flying)

Man
When a man is recognized in a dream, he is the same person in
wakefulness, or it could be his brother, or a person with the same resemblance
or name. Ifhe takes something valuable or cherished from the person having
the dream, it means the opposite, and one will receive from such a man what
he wishes for in wakefulness. If he takes a shirt or a rope in the dream, it means that he will accept a promise from the person seeing the dream. If he takes a
child away from him, it means enmity between the two. As explained under
'Human being', seeing the children of Adam in a dream is an exalted thing
in general. Each category of people conveys a different interpretation. The
category of rulers and judges in a dream means courts. The category of
government authorities represents fear. Soldiers mean travels. Craftsmen in
a dream mean profits, or they could represent their respective trades. Women
in a dream signify temptation, while pious people represent devotion. (Also see Human being, Mankind)
