Scourge
(Whip) In a dream, a scourge means fulfilling one’s needs, attaining
one’s goal, or subjugating one’s enemy to accept one’s conditions. If one’s scourge
is cut in two pieces during a fight, or while lashing someone in a dream, it means
loss of power. If the rope splits, it means weakening of one’s authority. If one
sees himself driving an animal with a whip in a dream, it means praying to
Almighty God to ease his burdens and to facilitate his earnings. If one sees
himself riding a horse and hitting him hard with a scourge in a dream, it means
that he is in dire need and is praying for a way out of his difficulties. If one sees
himself lashing a sittingperson with a scourge in a dream, it means admonishing
him, and if the other person is scared, or if he shields his face with his arm in
the dream, it means repentance from sin. If he is not hurt by the scourge in the
dream, it means that he is stubborn and does not accept the good advice. If he
bleeds in the dream, it means that he is beaten unjustly. If the victim’s blood
splashes and stains one’s clothes in the dream, it means that he will receive
suspicious or unlawful money from his victim. If one’s scourge is bent in the
dream, it means a mental disorder, or that one’s assistant is a reckless or an
impatient person.

Ishaq
(Also known as John in Western traditions. God’s prophet Ishaq, son of the
prophet Jacob, upon both of them be peace.) In a dream, seeing him indicates
adversities and hardships. If one has a son who ran away in disobedience to his
father, and if he sees God’s prophet Ishaq in a dream, it means that he will
return to his home and be obedient again. This dream also indicates a surge of
glad tidings, peace and tranquility. Seeing Ishaq (uwbp) in a dream also means
suffering from persecution by the senators of one’s town, or from some of his
relatives, and finally God Almighty will come to his help, and grant him back
his integrity and honor. If one sees him in his best form and radiant beauty, it
becomes a sign of glad tidings, whereby one’s progeny will engender leaders,
governors and righteous people. Seeing him in a dream also may mean coming
out of tight circumstances into a more relaxed ones, changing from heedlessness
into guidance, poverty into richness, and from disobedience to one’s parents to
obeying them again. If one sees himself transformed into Isliaq (uwbp) or to wear
his robe in a dream means that he may near his death then be saved from it.
Islam: (Religion of Islam; Surrender to God’s will; Submission) To see oneself as
a Muslim, praising God Almighty, thanking Him, facing the Ka‘aba in one’s
prayers, or to see oneself embracing Islam in a dream means straightening one’s
life, or repentance from one’s sins. If one sees himself renewing his Islam in a
dream, it means safety from plagues, sickness, or adversities. To proclaim the
two testimonies: ‘There is no god other than Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger
of Allah,” in one’s dream means relief from distress, or guidance after heedlessness.
Saying these testimonies in a dream also may mean returning to one’s parents
after having abandoned them. It also means returning to a place one has earlier
deserted, or to using earlier criterions in one’s life. If a Muslim recites these
proclamations in a dream, it means that he will testify to the truth in a court
of justice, or become known for his truthfulness. (Also see Exalting God’s one¬
ness; Exclamation of God’s sovereignty; Imam; Meadow; mosque; Quran; Pil¬
grimage)

Soldiers
(Angels; Travel) Soldiers in a dream represent God’s arc angels and the
soldiers of mercy, while mercenaries in a dream represent the soldiers of
punishment. If one sees himself as a soldier eating his meal inside the chambers
of a king in a dream, it means that he will control a land without much efforts
on his part. If one’s name is listed as a soldier in a dream, it represents his
welfare, satisfaction, or that he will continue his education. If a bedridden
person sees himself as a soldier in a camp, or that he is discharged from the army
in a dream, it means that his illness will end in his death, or it may mean
difficulties, distress and losses. A gathering of soldiers in a dream means
destruction of the wrongdoers and victory of the righteous ones. A soldier
carrying a scourge or arrows in a dream also represents good conduct. A count
of one hundred soldiers in a dream represents the chastisement and calamity
which God Almighty inflicts upon the people of the earth because of their sins
at the conclusion of each century, or at the beginning of a new one. Seeing one
thousand soldiers in a dream represents the blessed Night of Power which
occurs near the end of the fasting month of Ramadan. If soldiers are led by a
prophet, a king, a wise man, or a man of knowledge in one’s dream, it means
victory for the believers. If one sees an army entering a town in a dream, they
could represent rain. (Also see Night of Power)

Wound
(Bleeding; Cut; Injury) A wound in a dream means compensation money
that will come out of an injury one may suffer, and it will show. A cut in the right
hand in a dream means money which is earned from a family business. If the
left hand receives the cut, such profits will come through a female relative. If
one sees his left foot bleeding from a cut, it means that he will earn money from
a farming business. If his injury is in his back, then such profits will come from his children.
If his wound starts bleeding in the dream, it means a debt which
he must repay, even if it is difficult for him to do so at present. Every bleeding
wound in a dream represents a financial obligation. In a dream, a head wound
which does not bleed is a sign that one should guard his money. A wound which
does not bleed in a dream also represents recognition by others. If a man of
authority is wounded in an accident, whereby his flesh splits open, and his bones
are dissected in a dream, it means that he will live a long life to see the burial
of most of his relatives. If an army general sees his left hand wounded in a
dream, it means that his army will double in size. If his right hand is wounded
in the dream, it means that the area of his control will expand. If one suffers from
a wound in his stomach in the dream, it means growth in his financial standing.
If one is wounded in his thigh in the dream, it means that his clan will grow
stronger. If one sees himself wounded in his legs in a dream, it means longevity.
If one’s foot is wounded in the dream, it means that his authority and control
will become firmer. If one receives a cut and no blood runs out of his wound in
a dream, it means that the assailant will say something true about his victim,
representing the answer the person in the dream needs to realize. A bleeding
wound in a dream also means being subject to backbiting, though what will be
said is true. If one sees an angel piercing his stomach with a sword, whereby he
thinks that he is dead in the dream, it means that he may suffer from an ulcer
which will ultimately heal. If the sword inflicts a wound in his neck in a dream,
it means prosperity which will mostly benefit his progeny. (Also see Horizontal
wound; Surgery; Vertical wound)

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)

Wall
A wall in a dream represents knowledge, guidance, cognizance, knowing
secrets, judgment, or separation between friend. Standing by a wall or sitting
on it, and depending on its conditions in a dream represents one’s own state. A
wall in a dream also represents a strong, wealthy, powerful and religious person.
If the wall needed urgent repairs, and if a group of people come to rescue it in
the dream, it represents a man of knowledge, or the Imam of a mosque who has
lost his control or respect, then some friends will come to his rescue and to help
him restore his rank. If a successful businessman sees the walls of his house
collapsing in a dream, it means that he will recuperate a lost treasure. If one
sees a wall caving over his head, or falling over other people in a dream, it means
that he has committed many sins and unless his repents, his punishment will
be swift. The caving-in of a wall toward the inside of a house in a dream means
an illness, but if it falls toward the outside in the dream, it means death. Seeing
a crack in the wall in a dream means that someone in the family will brace
against him. Grabbing to a wall in a dream means the nearing of one’s death,
pending how firmly one is grabbing to it in the dream. Grabbing to a wall in a
dream is also interpreted as holding firmly to one’s interest in a strong person.
If one builds a wall then tears it down in a dream, it means that he will attempt
at destroying someone’s livelihood, or perhaps kill him. If one sees and recognizes
a wall in his dream, it represents a close friend who may die from depression.
A wall in a dream is also interpreted as a mighty person who cannot be managed
except through kindness. Jumping over a wall in a dream means reverting from
being a believer to a disbeliever, or accepting and following the advice of a
disbeliever. Seeing one’s picture reflected in a wall in a dream means one’s
death, and that his name will be itched on his gravestone. If a traveller sees
himself returning to his house, whereby its walls are renewed, it means that he
will get married. Seeping water from a crack in a wall in one’s dream means
adversities and stress. (Also see Walls of the city)
