Arched bridge
(Bridge; Stone bridge; Viaduct) An arched bridge or a viaduct in
a dream represents suspicious matters or mundane questions or worldly vs.
ungodly concerns. An arched bridge or a viaduct in a dream also could represents
one’s wife, or it could mean dispelling of one’s worries or trouble. Driving over
an arched bridge or through a viaduct in a dream means riding a vehicle . An
arched bridge or a stone bridge in a dream also signifies richness, luxury,
longevity, a sickness, renouncing one’s allegiance, or it could mean breaking a
promise. An arched bridge in a dream also could represent a middle man, a wise
man, or a ruler, except if the bridge leads to a loathsome place, or to a dead end.
Crossing an arched bridge that leads to the palace of a ruler in a dream means
receiving money, or it could mean getting married to a noble person. An
unknown bridge in a dream represents the world and particularly if it connects
the city with the cemetery. It also could represent a ship, or the Bridge of the
Day of Judgement, for it is the last hurdle before reaching paradise. If one
crosses an arched bridge in his dream, then it means that he will cross the abode
of this world into the abode of the hereafter and particularly if one meets
departed souls from the world or enters unknown places or sees uncommon
structures, or if a bird carries him by air, or if a beast swallows him, or if he falls
into a ditch or flies into the heavens in his dream, all of which also means
recovering from an illness or undertaking a long journey, or it could mean
returning home from a long journey. If on the other side of the bridge one ends
in a fertile farm, luscious fields, or meets with an old woman in his dream, it
means money, benefits and prosperity. If the other side of the bridge leads to
a mosque in the dream, it means that one will achieve his goal, fulfill his
intention or perform a pilgrimage to God’s House in Mecca. If one becomes a
bridge in a dream, it means that he will acquire extensive powers or becomes
an inspiration to others, or that people will come to need his authority and help.
Crossing a wooden bridge in a dream means meeting with a group of hypocrites.

Saker
(Falcon; Hawk) In a dream, a saker means a son, high rank, authority, or
a respected, dignified and awe-inspiring person who comes from noble lineage
though he is unjust. If one sees a saker pursuing him in a dream, it means that
he has incurred the wrath of a strong and a courageous man who does what he
says. Seeing a saker without a fight in a dream means profits, and the same
interpretation applies to most hunting birds or animals. Owning a hunting
saker who is well trained and obedient in a dream means gaining authority, or
becoming unjust and ungodly. Owning a disobedient saker that does not hunt
in a dream means begetting a son who will grow to manhood and be independent.
A saker in a dream also signifies might, rank, victory, attaining one’ goals,
adversities, death, prison, shackles, adornment, or tightening one’s grip on
expenses. A trained saker in a dream also represents an articulate man of
knowledge, verses an untamed saker in the dream.

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.

If one acts irrationally in a dream, it means that he will act with

or an old employee in a dream means suffering from the hidden evils of an
avowed enemy. Becoming irreligious in a dream means embracing innovation,
or whatever practices one considers and uses as his religion. Seeing an irreli¬
gious person sitting on a table with a plate of honey before him and refusing to
eat from it in the dream means that he is ungrateful to his Lord, and that he
does not confess to the innumerable favors which God Almighty has given him
during this life. A gathering of irreligious people in a dream represents one’s
children in their infancy. An irreligious person in a dream also represents a

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

working for the governor.If one sees a deceased person sick in a dream, it means

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.

behind a deceased person in a dream means following his footsteps or emulating

in a dream, it means that he will get married. If a sick person gets married in
a dream, it means that he will shortly die. If a married person dies and gets
buried in a dream, it means that he will divorce his wife or break a business
partnership or separates from his brothers, sisters and friends, or it could mean
that he may emigrate to another country. Otherwise, if he has already migrated
from his homeland, it means that he will return to it. Death in a dream has
positive connotation for someone in fear of something or a sad person or a sick
person. The death of one's brothers in a dream means the death of one's enemies,

Almighty. If he is sick in the dream, it means that he is answerable to God
Almighty for his religious negligence. If the deceased person's face looks dark
or opaque in the dream, it means that he died as an unbeliever. If one sees a
deceased person sprightly, pleasant and casual in a dream, it means that one's
dream is mere hallucination, or that he is experiencing disturbed dreams, for
dead people do not joke and have their own duties to respond to. If one's deceased
father or mother come back to life in a dream, it means relief from distress and
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
guidance to an unbeliever or admonishing an innovator. This also could mean
admonishing heedless people who will repent for their sins. If one sees a
