Interpreted by Ibn Sirin
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.
Drinking fresh water from a rivulet, a stream, or a river in a dream represents
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
veins and the blood that flows through the human body. (Also see Fountainhead;
Meadow; Spring)

Canal
(Channel; Water passage; Watercourse) In a dream, a canal represents a
woman, money or a scholar. Running a watercourse or a channel in a dream
means getting married, building a business, or it could mean finding a job and
serving one’s family and community. Seeing a canal in a dream also means
sufferings caused by a member of one’s family. Water channels in a dream
represent servants or housekeepers. A canal in a dream also could signify a
lavatory, sewage, a marketplace, or it could mean a shop. Thus, digging a canal
in a dream also could mean prosperity and spending money to support one’s
family and dependents. Blocking a canal in a dream means divorce, separation
between husband and wife, cutting off one’s blood ties, leaving one’s homeland,
or separation from one’s clan. Blocking a canal in a dream also means quitting
one’s job or cancelling a debt, or it could mean closing a business. Seeing a
watercourse running inside one’s house in a dream means blessings and
prosperity. Urinating in a canal or a watercourse in a dream means committing
a sin, engaging in unlawfulness or molesting a servant. A canal in a dream also
could represent the housekeeper who cleans people’s dirt, a street sweeper, or
it could mean a forbidden marriage. A dry canal in a dream signifies cessation
of business, unsalable merchandise, a dead market or discord with one’s wife,
suffering from a urinary bladder, or having kidney problems. If one digs a canal
and no water runs through it in a dream, it means deception.

Wadi
(Valley) Seeing a ravine or a valley with a dry watercourse in a dream means
going on a tiering trip, taking a longjourney, or it could represent an intractable
person. Seeing a wadi in a dream denotes good deeds, or making offerings to
please God Almighty. A wadi in a dream also represents its dwellers, a tribe from
that region, or its plantations. If one sees the wadi blossoming with fruit trees,
fragrant flowers, a running water course, or if one hears nice words during such
a dream, it means that he will rise in station, or mingle with people in power,
or receive an appointment in the government, and for a righteous person, it
means that miraculous events and blessings will be shown at his hands by God’s
leave. Seeing a wadi in a dream also means rain, and that the ravine will be filled
with rainwater. A wadi in a dream also could represent a prison because of the
steep mountains surrounding it and the difficulty in crossing it. Seeing oneself
in a wadi floating in the air until one reaches a desired altitude in a dream means
working for a powerful person. A wadi in a dream also represents a warrior, a
bandit, a highway robber or a lion. If a wadi obstructs one’s journey in a dream,
it may represent a robbery, heavy rain, or having to face a dangerous person.
If one is not travelling, then it means distress, adversity, harm, imprisonment,
fear, or illness. Crossing a wadi in the wintertime in a dream means escaping
from danger. Digging a wadi in a dream means the death of a family member.
Falling into a steep wadi in a dream and feeling no pain or incurring no harm
from it in a dream means that one will receive a gift from someone in authority
or from his superior. Inhabiting a valley with no vegetation in a dream means
performing one’s pilgrimage to Mecca. To wander aimlessly in a wadi in a dream
means writing a poem. (Also see Flying)
