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

Hedges
(Enclosure; Fence; Surrounding) If the green hedges of a fruit garden
climb toward the outside of the fence and the trees remain inside the garden in
a dream, it means improper attitude toward one’s religion, or loss of worldly
status, business losses, failure to repent, or giving preference to the company
of ignorant and boastful people over the company of righteous people, or it could
mean lack of adequate religious devotion, rejecting one’s religion, or raising the
esteem of commoners above the elect. If one sees that the green hedges are
replaced with a wall, a fence, or a ditch in the dream, it represents the rising
star of the owner of such a garden. Hedges in a dream also represent one’s
religion and the trees represent one’s religious duties. Hedges in a dream also
represent one’s family, relatives, or his trade. If hedges are interpreted to mean
the world, then they could also represent one’s family, relatives, progeny, one’s
religious life and the deeds that could save one from suffering in hell-fire.

Vineyard
(Espalier; Grapevine; Trellis; Woman) A vineyard in a dream represents
honor and strength, and the same goes for all fruit trees. A vineyard in a dream
is also interpreted to represent a wealthy woman. Cutting branches from a
grapevine in a dream means receiving money from a noble woman. Thus, an
espalier in a dream represents a generous woman. A grapevine in the wintertime
in a dream represents a woman who has lost her wealth, though one still thinks
that she is rich. Plucking a bunch of grapes from an espalier in a dream means
spending one’s money on a woman. If one sees it but does not pluck any grapes
from it in the dream, it means that he will be spared unnecessary expenses. A
grapevine in a dream also represents marriage. A trellis for grapevines in a
dream represents a beautiful, a noble and a rich woman. The same interpretation
is given for the garden surrounding it. To see a close-up view of a vineyard
with its clusters of grapes and leaves in a dream means gaining financial
benefits from associating with a community of believers. (Also see Wine press)

Garden
(Flower garden) A garden in a dream means repentance, and repentance
from sin in a dream means a garden. Watering one’s garden in a dream means
having marital relations. If one sees his garden dry in a dream, it means that
his wife has commenced her menstrual period during which he is not permitted
to have sexual intercourse with her. If he sees someone else watering his garden
in a dream, it means that such a person will betray him with his wife. If one sees
himself entering an unknown garden with its trees unattended and its pasture
unkempt in a dream, it means distress and worries. A garden in a dream also
represents a woman. They both need water and they both bear fruits or children.
In this case, if the garden is interpreted to represent a woman, then its trees and
fruits represent her tribe, family and children. An unknown garden in a dream
also represents the Holy Quran. A garden in a dream also represents a
marketplace, a new bride’s house, a property, an animal domesticated for
service, a shop, a business, a tavern, a bathhouse, generosity, an army made of
slaves, cattle or personal assets. If one sees himself inside a garden in a dream,
it means comfort and growth in his life. If the house to which this garden belongs
is God’s house, then the man seeing it is in paradise. If he is sick, it means that
he will die from his illness and enter that paradise. If the garden is unknown
in the dream, it means martyrdom and particularly if he finds inside the garden
a woman calling him to herself, or to drink milk or honey from the garden’s rivers
and the same is true if the garden does not look like the ones he is accustomed
to see in the world. Otherwise, If one sees himself looking at a garden, and if he
is unmarried, it means that he will meet a suitable woman and get married. If
he is married, it means that he will receive joy from his wife equal to that which
he received from the garden in his dream. If one finds within such a garden a
group of associates or colleagues, the garden then represents a marketplace. If
one sees a servant or a worker of his urinating inside a well or a stream inside
such a garden in the dream, it means that a relative will betray the interests
of the family. A garden whose owner is known in a dream represents a mosque,
a park, people of knowledge, ignorant people, the generous ones or the stingy
ones. It also represents a meeting place where the rich and the poor, the
righteous and the insolent gather. A garden in a dream also may indicate a
religious center, a school, a center for scientific research and studies, a place of
worship, etcetera. If one enters a garden at the season of plucking its fruits in
a dream, it means glad tidings, money and increase in one’s good deeds,
marriage or children. On the other hand, if he enters a garden in the fall in a
dream, it means defamation, indebtedness, divorce, or it could mean loss of a
child. Seeing a deceased person in a garden means that he is in paradise. A
garden in a dream also represents a source of nourishment. Its fruits are colorful
and their taste ranges from sweet to salty and from sour to bitter. (Also see House
garden; Quran)

Orphan
(Foundling; Waif) Picking-up an abandoned infant in a dream means
picking-up one’s enemy, in conjunction to the story of Moses and Pharaoh. Picking
up an abandoned child in a dream also could mean returning things to the way
they should be, or dispelling distress and sorrow. If one sees himself planting an
apple tree in a dream, it means adopting an orphan, or caring for one. To find
oneself as an orphan in a dream means depression which is caused by injustice.
To be an orphan in a dream also means feeling depressed because of one’s love
for a woman, loss of property or money.

Quince
(Fruit) A quince in a dream denotes a sickness. However, if a sick person
eats this fruit in his dream, it means that he will recover from his illness. If a
governor eats quince in his dream, it means that he will achieve his goals. If a
healthy person eats it in his dream, it means that he will receive spiritual
guidance. If a merchant eats it in his dream, it means prosperity. Extracting
juice from a quince in a dream means undertaking a business trip and reaping
good benefits from one’s venture. A quince tree in a dream represents a prudent,
discrete and a firm man from whom no one can benefit, or it could represent a
vile person. A green quince in a dream is better than a yellow one. A quince in
a dream also represents a beautiful and a noble woman. Many interpreters
disliked the quince fruit because of its yellowish color, and they mostly qualify
it to mean sickness because of the constipation it causes if eaten raw. However,
its yellowish color also can be interpreted as the color of gold. Seeing or eating
a quince in a dream also means travelling with good companions, though some
of them may be of no benefit. However, in general a quince or a quince tree in
a dream can still be interpreted in a positive sense under all circumstances.

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

Dates
(Fruit; Palm tree) In a dream, dates mean money or a good message. Eating
dates in a dream means earning lawful income. Dates are like money, they do
not have a long shelve life. Unripened dates in a dream indicate the availability
of water for those who need it. Red unripened dates in a dream may signify some
type of blood disease, whereby the red cells grow to exceed in number the white
cells. Dates in a dream also mean rain. Eating dates in a dream means reading
the Holy Quran and reaping benefits from one’s religion. Buried dates in a
dream represent one’s savings. If one sees himself burying dates in a dream, it
also means stealing from the property and money of orphans. Dates placed to
dry in the open represent money which does not last. To harvest dates in a dream
in season means that one may get married to a noble and a wealthy woman. It
also means acquiring knowledge. Harvesting dates out of season in a dream
means that one will learn something good but fail to act upon it. If one see that
he is fanning himself with a tender and a wet branch of a palm tree in a dream
it means learning something beneficial from a hypocrite, or it may mean relief
from distress. If a woman sees herself eating ripened dates that are dripping
with juices in the dream, it means that she will receive an inheritance from her
husband and that her name will be included in his will, even if she is divorced.
If one sees himself taking a date, splitting it in half and extracting the date pit
from it in a dream, it means that he will beget a son. Eating fresh dates in a
dream means hearing good words beside other benefits. (Also see Bunch of dates;

Muhammad
(God’s Prophet Muhammad, blessings and peace be upon him; The
Seal of the prophets; The last Messenger) It is related that God’s Messenger,
upon whom be peace, has said: “One who sees me in a dream will see me in his
wakefulness, for Satan cannot impersonate me. ”He also has said: “One who sees
me in a dream, it is as if he has truly seen me, for Satan cannot impersonate me. ”
He also has said: “One who sees me in a dream will not enter the fire of hell. ”
Muslim theologians and scholars differ in opinion about the meaning of seeing
God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream. Imam Ibn Seerin used to ask someone who
tells of such a dream to describe the Prophet, upon whom be peace. If any of the
details did not fit his description, Ibn Seerin’s reply was: “You have not seen
him.” Asim Bin Kulayb once said: “I related to Ibn Abbas, God bless his soul and
that of his father, that I saw God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream. Ibn Abbas replied:
“Describe him to me.” Asim Bin Kulayb added: “I described him as resembling
Al-Hassan son of‘Ali, upon both of them be peace.” Ibn Abbas replied: “Indeed
you have seen him.” Ibn ‘Arabi once explained that the essence of seeing God’s
Prophet (uwbp) is cognizance of his presence and understanding the reality of
his character and example. Thus, recognizing the presence of the blessed being
is as affirmation of the truth, while seeing the physical form represents his
example and attributes, for being earthly does not change the essence of
prophethood. When God’s Prophet (uwbp) said: “He will see me in wakefulness,”
it means: ‘Expounding upon what he saw,’ for what one sees in such a dream is
the truth which resides in the realms of the unseen. In the second saying, when
God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, said: “It is as if he has truly seen me,” it
means that if one had seen him during the time of delivering God’s massage, the
example will be the same. Thus, the first saying signifies what is real and true
while the second saying implies the physical reality and its example. If one sees
God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, coming toward him in a dream, it means
blessings and benefits, and if one sees God’s prophet (uwbp) turning away from
him in a dream, it means the opposite. Al-Qadi ‘Iyad, God bless his soul, in¬
terpreted the words of God’s Prophet (uwbp) in his saying: “Has truly seen me,"
to mean: “has truly seen my physical form,” that the blessed companions knew,
while seeing him in another form in a dream means that one’s dream connotes
personal interpretations. Following the explanation of Al-Qadi ‘Iyad, Imam Al-
Nawawi commented by saying: “This is a weak explanation. A stronger inter¬
pretation is to say that one who sees God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream has seen
him in reality however his resemblance may appear. Whether the resemblance
in the dream is known or not.” In a separate commentary, Shaikh Al-Baqlani
added: “What Al-Qadi ‘Iyad has said does not contradict what Imam Al-Nawawi
has said.” This is because the first dream does not require interpretation,
according to Al-QadI ‘Iyad. In the second type of dream, that is discussed in
Imam Al-Nawawi’s comments, one’s dream does require interpretation or
analysis. This is to mean that since no Satan can impersonate God’s Prophet
(uwbp), then whatever appearance he displays in one’s dream is true. The
meaning of God’s prophet’s saying: “For Satan cannot impersonate me, ” implies
that since God’s guardianship (Isma ) is inviolable, and since God’s Prophet,
upon whom be peace, is sacrosanct, then as he was protected during the time
of delivering God’s message to humanity, he is still protected by the same
guardianship after God Almighty took him back to Himself. Thus, whoever sees
God’s Prophet (uwbp) in any appearance in a dream, it is as if has seen him in
reality, regardless whether one sees him as a young man, or at the time of
delivering his message, or as an old person. If one sees him looking old in a
dream, it means peace. If one sees him looking young in a dream, it means war.
If one sees him smiling in a dream, it means that one is truly emulating his
traditions. Seeing God’s Prophet (uwbp) in his known and recognized appear¬
ance in a dream means that the one seeing the dream is a pious person, that his
integrity is inviolable, and that his success is unquestionable. Seeing him
(uwbp) in a dream frowning represents the ill state of the one seeing the dream.
Ibn Abi Jumrah once said: “Seeing Him (uwbp) in a beautiful appearance
denotes the good religious standing of the person seeing the dream. Seeing him
with some disfeatures in a dream, a deficiency or distortion in one’s application
of his religious duties, for God’s Prophet (uwbp) is like a mirror that portrays
the one standing before it.” In this sense, the person seeing the dream can
recognize his own state. This interpretation is also given by Ibn Hajar Al-Hutaymi,
God bless his soul. Like that, in the book of ‘Sharh al-Shama-il’ of Imam Al-
Tirmithi, it is also stated that Satan cannot impersonate God Almighty, His
signs, prophets or angels. If someone suffering from distress sees God’s Prophet
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that his difficulties will be removed. If a prisoner
sees him in a dream, it means that he will be released form prison. If one is living
at a time of economic chaos, and if high prices are exploiting the people of the
land, or if injustice is tyrannizing everyone, then seeing God’s Prophet, upon
whom be peace, in a dream represents an end to such adversities. Seeing him
in his beautiful, radiant and impeccable appearance as best described by his
companions in a dream means glad tidings of attaining a successful conclusion
to one’s life in this world and in the hereafter. The state and clarity of one’s heart
and how well polished is his own mirror determines in what appearance he may
see him, upon whom be peace. If God’s Prophet (uwbp) comes toward someone
in a dream, or leads him in prayers, or if one sees himself accompanying him
on the road, or if one eats something sweet from his blessed hand, or receives
a cloak, or a suitable shirt, or if God’s Prophet promises him something, or prays
for him, then if the one seeing the dream qualifies for leadership, and if he is
a righteous and a just man who commands what is good and forbids what is evil,
and if he is learned and practices what he knows, and if he is a pious worshipper
and a devout Muslim, he will then attain the station and company of the blessed
ones. If the one who sees the dream is a disobedient servant of God Almighty,
it means that he will repent for his sins and return to his Lord. If he is living
in heedlessness, it means that he will be guided. Perhaps, he might attain his
goals in acquiring knowledge, or learn how to reconstruct his innermost being
to befit a human being who is grateful to his Lord. If one is fearing oppression,
persecution, or loss of his property and wealth sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it
means putting an end to such fears, for he is the best of intercessors to restore
anyone before God Almighty. If one who follows innovations sees God’s Prophet
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that he should fear God Almighty, heed to His
warnings and correct himself and particularly if he sees Him (uwbp) walking
away from him, or turning his back to him. Seeing God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a
dream also means receiving glad tidings and happy news, or it could signify
justice, establishing the truth, fulfillment of a promise, reaching a high rank
among the members of one’s family, or perhaps it could mean that one may suffer
from their envy and jealousy, or leave his homeland and migrate to another
country, or it could mean that he may lose his parents and become an orphan.
Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also could mean seeing miraculous events
( Karamat ), for his companions witnessed and testified to a deer greeting him,
a camel who kissed his foot, the broiled leg of mutton talking to him, trees
moving to give him cover, pebbles glorifying God’s praises in his hand, among
countless miracles, including his Nocturnal Journey and ascension ( Miraj ) to
the heavens to meet his Lord. If an ophthalmologist sees him in a dream, it
means that he will acquire great expertise in his field and become renowned in
the land, for God’s prophet upon whom be peace, did return the eye of his
companion Qutadah to its place and made his sight sharper than it was by God’s
leave, after Qutadah had lost his eye during one of the battles with the
unbelievers. If a traveller in the desert sees God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream,
or if there is drought somewhere, it means that rain will fall and springs will
gush forth, as water gushed from between his blessed fingers when he placed
his blessed hand over a half filled cup to quench the thirst of an entire army.
If calamities, starvation and drought has befallen a land and someone sees Him
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that such calamities will be lifted and life will return
to normal in that place. If a woman sees him in a dream, it means that she will
reach a high spiritual station, honor, righteousness, chastity, trustworthiness
and perhaps be given a blessed progeny, or if she is wealthy, it means that she
will spend her wealth on God’s path. Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also means
facing adversities, bearing patience and suffering from one’s enemy. If an
orphan sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it means that he will reach an exalted
station and the same goes if a foreigner sees him in his dream. If a physician
sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it means that people will benefit from his medicine.
Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also means victory over one’s enemy, or consolidating
and paying one’s debts, or recovering from an illness, or attending a pilgrimage
to God’s House in Mecca, or triumphing over one’s trials, or cessation of one’s
adversities, or fertility of a barren land, or the pregnancy of a barren woman.
If a visitor to his mosque sees himself in a dream coming before God’s Prophet
(uwbp) and finds him standing up, it denotes one’s correct religious standing,
and it means that he will have commanding authority over the Imam of his time.
If one finds him (uwbp) deceased in the dream, it means that a noble person from
the family of the person seeing the dream will shortly die. If one sees the funeral
of God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream, it means that a calamity will befall that
country. Following his funeral procession up to his grave (uwbp) in a dream
means that the person seeing the dream will yield to innovations. Visiting his
grave (uwbp) in a dream means receiving a great treasure. If one sees himself
as the son of God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream, and even if one is not one of his
descendents, it denotes one’s sincerity, true faith and certitude. Seeing God’s
Prophet (uwbp) by one person does not exclude the remainder of the believers,
but the blessings encompass all of them. Receiving something from him (uwbp)
such as food or a drink in a dream means benefits and profits. If one receives
food which substance connotes negative circumstances, such as a melon or the
like elements in a dream, it means that one will escape from a great danger,
though he will toil and suffer from hardships during his trials. If one sees that
one of the limbs that belong to God’s Prophet (uwbp) has become his own in a
dream, it means that he is following innovation and making changes in the laws
God’s Prophet (uwbp) brought to humankind. If one sees himself in a dream
embodying the form of God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, or wearing one of
his garments, or receives his ring, or sword, then if the person is seeking to
govern, he will attain that and the people will accept his leadership. If one is
suffering from persecution, or humiliation in the land, then seeing God’s
Prophet (uwbp) standing in a dream means that God Almighty will grant him
victory and make him rise above his enemies. If one is poor, his needs will be
satisfied, or if he is unmarried, he will get married. If one sees him (uwbp) in
a ruined place in a dream, it means that such a place will be rebuilt. If one enters
a room and finds him (uwbp) sitting there in a dream, it means that a miraculous
sign, or a major event will take place in such a locality. If one sees him (uwbp)
making the call to prayers in a dream, it means that prosperity will spread in
that place. If one sees him establishing the prayers ( Iqamah ) in a dream, it
means that the Muslims will reunite and dispel their differences. If one sees him
(uwbp) placing kohl over his eyelids in a dream, it means that he will find safety
and correct his religious stand, or it could mean that one will study and become
a scholar in the field of the prophetic sayings ( Ak&dith ). If a pregnant woman
sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it means that she will beget a son. If one sees him
(uwbp) having a black beard with no gray hair in it in a dream, it will bring
happiness, joy and prosperity to one’s life. If God’s Prophet (uwbp) is seen as an
old man in a dream, it means strength in one’s life and victory over one’s enemy.
Seeing him (uwbp) in his most exalted state in a dream means that the Imam,
or the ruler of the country will rise in station and that his authority will expand.
If one sees his blessed neck wide, it means that the Imam is holding firmly to
his trust. If one sees him (uwbp) having a large chest in a dream, it means that
the Imam or the ruler of the country is generous toward his subjects. If one sees
his blessed stomach (uwbp) empty in a dream, it means that the treasury of the
country is empty. If one sees his right hand closed in a dream, it means that the
Imam or the ruler of the country does not pay his employees, or distribute the
collected alms tax. If one sees his blessed right hand (uwbp) open in a dream,
it denotes the generosity of the ruler and his compliance with the distribution
of charities and alms tax as prescribed in God’s book. If his hands are locked
together in a dream, it means complications in the life of the Imam, or the ruler
of the country. The same will affect the life of the person seeing the dream,
including suffering from distress and adversities. If one sees his blessed leg
beautiful and hairy in a dream, it means that one’s clan will become stronger,
and his tribe will grow. If one sees the blessed thighs of God’s Prophet tall in
a dream, it denotes longevity of the Imam or the ruler of the country. If one sees
him (uwbp) standing in the midst of soldiers and everyone is laughing and joking
in a dream, it means that the Muslim army will be defeated and humiliated in
a war. If he is seen with a small army that is ill equipped and everyone is looking
down in the dream, it means that the Muslim army will triumph in that year.
If one sees him (uwbp) combing his blessed hair and beard in a dream, It means
that one’s distress and adversities will be dispelled. Seeing him (uwbp) in his
own mosque, or in any mosque, or in his usual place in a dream it means gaining
power and honor. If one sees him standing in the midst of his companions
delivering a revelation in a dream, it means that one will acquire a greater
knowledge, wisdom and spiritual understanding. Seeing the grave of God’s
Prophet (uwbp) in a dream means prosperity and profits for a merchant, or the
release of a prisoner from his jail. Seeingoneself in a dream as the father of God’s
Prophet (uwbp) means that one’s faith will diminish and his certitude will
weaken. If a woman sees herself in a dream as one of the wives of God’s Prophet
(uwbp), it represents her growing faith. If one sees him (uwbp) looking into one’s
affairs in a dream, it means that God’s Prophet (uwbp) is admonishing the one
seeing the dream and commanding him to render his wife her due rights. To
walk behind him (uwbp) in a dream means following his ( Sunnah ) traditions in
wakefulness. To eat with him (uwbp) in a dream means that one is commanded
to pay the annual alms tax ( Islamic law) due over one’s money making assets,
or liquid assets, gold, silver, jewelry, savings, etcetera, excepting one’s home or
vehicle. If one sees God’s Prophet (uwbp) eating alone in a dream, it means that
the one seeing the dream refuses to give charities and disdains to help those who
ask for his help. In this sense, it is as if God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, is
commanding the person to give charities and to help the needy. If one sees him
(uwbp) bare footed in a dream, it means that one has neglected to do his regular
prayers. To see him (uwbp) and to shake hands with him in a dream means that
one is truly his follower. If one sees his blood mixed with that of God’s Prophet

Ocean
(Government) The element of ocean in a dream represents a prison where
sea lives are incarcerated, and it means losses, fear, despair, limitless knowledge,
a city without walls, or the world, its trials and wonders. An ocean or a sea in a
dream also represents a strong ruler who is just, compassionate toward his
subjects and whom people revere, have access to, and seek for their daily needs.
If a businessman sees an ocean in a dream, it represents his merchandise. As for
a worker or an apprentice, the ocean in a dream represents his veteran teacher
or master. If one sees the ocean in a dream, it means that he will succeed in his
goals. If one sees himself entering into the ocean or sea in a dream, it means that
he will enter before a ruler, or stand before someone in authority. If one sees
himself sitting or lounging at the sea shore in a dream, it means that he will work
for such a person or a ruler, though he will be observing caution and diplomacy
with him. If one sees himself drinking the entire water of the sea though no one
sees him except the king in a dream, it means that he will reign and live a long
life. Drinking any portion thereof also means equal earnings to what he takes in.
If one sees himself drinking from it to quench his thirst in the dream, it means
riches, strength and longevity. If one sees himself asking for some of its water to
drink in a dream, it means that he is seeking to work for such a strong person or
ruler. If he pours its water in a pitcher in the dream, it means prosperity, or that

well as riches. However, his status will last longer than his money. To drink water
from the sea in a dream means acquiring knowledge and adopting proper conduct.
Crossing the ocean in a dream means booty. If one sees strong waves bringing
seawater to his street without causing damages in a dream, it means that a ruler
or a great person will enter or visit that locality. Bathing in seawater in a dream
means repentance from one’s sins. Seeing the ocean from a distance in a dream
means that calamities, temptations and trials are coming to one’s community. If
one sees the sea receding, whereby he can see the edges of the earth it covers in
a dream, it means diminishing of his authority and control, or that the wrath of
God Almighty has descended upon that locality. This calamity could be carried
by one’s own government, economic tribulations, drought, or one’s enemies.
Standing over seawater in a dream means attaining something one did not seek.
Walking in the air above the seawater in a dream represents the person’s good
intentions, his clarity, faith and certitude. If a sick person sees himself taking

or it could mean payment of one’s debts and relief from worldly pressures. (Also

The human tongue in a dream also represents his pen and his signing authority.
If one’s tongue becomes long and reaches the skies in a dream, it means that he
will be impeached or deposed from his leadership position following his tyranny
and injustices. If the tongue of a leader or a ruler becomes long in a dream, it
also signifies the expansion of his power and the infallibility and effectiveness
of his commands. One’s tongue in a dream also symbolizes a milk sucklingbaby,
a lion in his den, or an intelligent warrior. Thus, if one lets a lion out of a lair
in a dream, it denotes his tongue, or hurting people’s feeling or reputation with
one’s tongue. If one sees himself without a tongue in a dream, it may mean the
death of an infant. If one has to appear in court and sees his tongue cut off in
a dream, it means that his proof will be rejected by the judge. If only the side
of one’s tongue is cut off in a dream, it means that he has doubts about the
testimony of his witness. If he is a merchant, it means that he will lose an
important business deal. If he is a student, it means that he will not complete
his schooling. It is also said that when one’s tongue is cut off in a dream, it means
that he is a forbearing person. If the wife’s tongue is cut off in a dream it means
that she is a chaste and a pious woman. If a wife cuts off the tongue of her
husband in a dream, it means that she will flirt with him and show him
tenderness and love. Cutting off the tongue of a poor person in a dream means
giving something to an impudent person to shun off his evil. If a poor person cuts
off the tongue of another poor person in a dream, it means a fight between them.
If one’s tongue sticks to his palate in a dream, it means that he will deny or reject
someone’s right, refute the truth, or lie about a trust he received to keep for a
time. Eating one’s tongue or biting on it in a dream represents an act one will
regret. If a governor sees that in a dream, it means that he swindles people’s
money and receives bribes. Biting on one’s tongue in a dream also means
remaining mostly silent, withholding one’s advice, or controlling one’s fury and
anger. Biting one’s tongue in a dream also could denote gluttony. Cutting off
one’s tongue in a dream means invalidating one’s argument or proof, or
preventing him from asking for anything. The cutting off of a poet’s tongue in

in a dream means that one may preside over his own people. If he is a wretched
person, it means that he is a liar. If someone who is scared of something sees
his tongue in a dream, it means that he will lose his battle and become subject
to defamation and humiliation. If a wretched person sees himself having many
tongues in a dream, it means that he will have a large family. Having many
tongues in a dream also means speaking many foreign languages. If one’s tongue
is split in half in a dream, it means that he is a liar. Having many tongues and
of many colors in a dream means telling different and contradictory stories, or
it could represent a music writer. If people touch one’s tongue or suck it in a

one’s house, a vehicle, a skilled enemy, a seedling of a fruit bearing tree, a bad
wife, a barren woman, one’s spoken and irretrievable words, earnings, collecting
garbage, following someone’s traces, a policeman, or a prisoner. An animal’s
tongue in a dream represents one’s life or death, because for an animal, his
tongue is like a hand through which he takes things. If a scholar’s tongue is cut
off in a dream, it means that he will lose his argument, or it could mean the death
of his assistant, student or son. Losing one’s tongue in a dream represents the
malicious joy of one’s enemy, family, or neighbors for one’s losses, or it could
mean the death of a beloved, severing a relationship, or a plant disease that will
affect one’s fruit bearing trees. Perhaps losing one’s tongue in a dream could
mean separation between husband and wife, divorce, losing one’s job, or moving
to a new town. Having two tongues in a dream also means backbiting others,
or having two faces with people, for people say that so-and so has two tongues
or two faces. If the second tongue does not impede the person from speaking in
the dream, then it denotes his truthfulness, love and affection toward others.
One’s tongue in a dream also may represent something one fears, such as the
collapsing of a roof over his head, or it could represent an enemy. It also means
isolating oneself from people of knowledge and wisdom, or it could mean
remaining mostly silent, minding one’s own business, or offering devotion and
being grateful to God Almighty for His gifts and blessings. One’s tongue in a
dream also represents a captured prisoner of war, or a snake hiding in its pit.
Looking at one’s tongue in a dream means controlling what comes out of it. (Also

as a judge or a wise man in a dream, it means that one will become renowned,

expense of people’s lives. If one sees a physician selling coffins or folded shrouds
in a dream, one should be suspicious of him in wakefulness even if people are
fascinated by his charm. If one sees a physician working as a tanner in a dream,
it shows the physicians ingenuity, knowledge of his trade and the many people
who recover from their illness at his hand. The exception to that is when the tan
is spoiled, or if it has a stench, or if it is ineffective in the dream, then it means
that such a physician is a crafty swagger.
