Antichrist
(arb. Dajjal; Imposter) In a dream, the Antichrist represents a con¬
temptuous, deceitful and a tyrant ruler. He does not fulfill his promises and he
has a following of wicked people. His appearance in a dream also indicates the
supremacy of one’s enemy over him or over his land. This will involve massacres,
evil, deception, trials and bloodshed. If a traveller sees the Antichrist in his
dream, it means that a band of robbers may attack him. His appearance in a
dream also denotes the conquest of a land which is saturated with evil. If one
becomes the Antichrist or accompanies him in a dream, it means that he will
suffer from black magic, sorcery, falsehood, decrepitude or it could denote that
a global disease will appear on earth and cause mass physical defects, destruc¬
tion and death. The landmarks that the Antichrist passes by in a dream
represent adversities, trials, injustice, ruins, inundations with floods, destruc¬
tion of crops and drought. (Also see One-eyed)

Swimming
(Employment; Knowledge; Prison) If a man of knowledge sees himself
swimming in the ocean in a dream, it means that he will attain his goals. If he
enters the water of the ocean then comes back to the shore in a dream, it means
that he will commence his path of seeking knowledge then abandons it.
Swimming in a dream also means going to jail. Swimming on sand in a dream
means that one may be incarcerated, that his living conditions in his jail will
be constricted, and that he will suffer in his prison from hardships equal to the
difficulties he encounters during his swim in the dream. If one sees himself
swimming inside his own house in a dream, it means that he will work for a
ruthless, wicked and an unjust employer who will entrap him in his service
through a business deal. Consequently, God Almighty will help him out of his
entanglements. If one is afraid of swimming in the dream, it means that he is
scared of someone in authority. If he runs away from swimming in a dream, it
means that he will escape from him. If one sees himself entering waters where
he can swim successfully in a dream, it means that he will engage in a major
project, lead an important job, or acquire authority and power. If one swims on
his back in a dream, it means that he will repent for a sin. If he swims in the
sea and finds its water stagnant in the dream, it means that he will serve
someone in authority, though his job will bringhim nothingbut trouble and the
wrath of his employer. If he still manages to cross the sea in his dream, it means
that he will escape from dangers his employment could inflict upon him. If he
swims with fear in a dream, it means trouble, imprisonment, or a sickness he
will endure depending on the type of needed efforts or distance he has to cross.
Should he think in the dream that he will not be able to make it, then it means
his death. If he shows courage during his swim in the dream, it means that he
will be able to escape from such a dangerous job. Troubled waters in a dream
mean adversities. Swimming successfully across troubled waters in a dream
means overcoming one’s adversities. Any sea or agitated waters in a dream
represent the authorities or the state, whether it be a swamp, a lake, a pond,
a sea, or an ocean. If one sees himself drowning in a river, or a lake, then if he
is carried by others and laid on dry land motionless like a fish in a dream, this
also means trials and adversities. If one is saved from drowningbefore he wakes-
up from his sleep in the dream, it means that he will triumph over his trials.
Otherwise, if he dies from it in the dream, it means that he may die from such
adversities. If during his swim one meets a ship that pulls him out of the waters,
or to which he holds or grabs, it also means escape from adversities. If one
drowns in the dream, it means that he may die as a martyr, though having
previously indulged in many sins. To walk on water, whether it is the sea or a
river in a dream means good spiritual standing, religious assiduousness and a
strong faith and determination. Walking on water in a dream also could be
interpreted as ascertaining something about which one may have doubt, or
placing one’s trust in God Almighty before embarking on a dangerous trip. (Also

(Tiara; Turban) A headgear in a dream means a presidency, travels,
or marriage. If one receives a headgear, or a tiara in a dream, it means that he
may undertake a distant trip. If one wears a headgear in his dream, it means
that he may hold a seat in the government. If one is accustomed to wearing a
headgear then wearing it in a dream represents his superior, the governor, his
brother, his father, his uncle, his teacher, or a scholar, for they all have equal
right upon him. Wearing a dirty and a worn out headgear in a dream means
sorrow, difficulties and distress. If one’s headgear is stripped off his head, or if
it falls to the ground in a dream, it means the death of his superior, or any of
the abovementioned people. If a king offer someone a headgear or a tiara in a
dream, it means that he will have the power to appoint people in different
administrations. If a mishap befall one’s headgear or the turban of an Imam in
a dream, it will reflect upon his faith and the state of his congregation. Wearing

bench. Wearing a headgear which is topped with a white feather in a dream
means becoming a leader. Wearing a headgear that is made from animal fur or

represent the high standard a woman has achieved in his eyes. If a woman looks
at a man’s sexual organ in a dream, it represents her strength and manlike
drive. If a prisoner finds himself having a vagina in a dream, it means his release
from prison, and for someone who is depressed, it means relief from his
depression. If one has to appear in court, it means that he will win his case. If
one is facing an opponent, it means that he will conquer him. Seeing the vagina
of an elderly woman in a dream means loss of business. If one reenters the womb
of a woman through her vagina in a dream, it means his death. A vagina in a
dream also could represent a blood sucker, a murderer, or a deceitful person who
portrays piety during the day, then shows his teeth at night. A vagina in a dream

and the oil clean and radiant in the dream, it means that he will enjoy a life of
purity and happiness. If the wick is black and the oil is murky in the dream, it
means experiencing a wretched life. If the stand itself has some deficiencies in
the dream, it means an illness in one’s body. If the stand is strong and clean,
it means that one’s body and blood are free from illness. A broken lamp stand

Ring
In a dream, a ring represents peace, tranquility, authority, a wife, a child,
or a job, the reward of which will equal the value and size of the gemstone which
is placed on it. If one’s wife is pregnant, and if he sees himself wearing a golden
ring in a dream, it means that she will give birth to a son. The king’s ring in a
dream represents his kingdom. Cutting off a tight ring with a pair of pliers in
a dream means the end to one’s authority. Any incrustations on one’s ring in a
dream represent his goals. If the gemstone of one’s ring falls in a dream, it may
mean the death of his child, or the loss of his business. A broken ring in a dream
means divorce. Wearing a ring made of iron in a dream means that one will
receive benefits though with great strain on him. Wearing a golden ring carry ing
a precious stone in a dream means that such benefits will come with ease. If it
is a plain ring or a band with no stone, it means engaging in a strenuous project
and getting nothing out of it. Rings made of ivory or from an animal’s horn in
a dream represent glad tidings for a woman. Seeing someone in authority
stamping a document with his ring as a seal in a dream means that one will
receive an important political appointment. If one who is accustomed to wearing
a silver ring sees himself offering it as a gift to whoever he wishes in a dream,
it means that he will preside over an honorable post. Wearing the governor’s
ring in a dream means an appointment as a dignitary, or inheriting such a rank
from one’s father. If one’s father does not hold such a position, then it means the
opposite of one’s wishes. Finding a lost ring in a dream means earning money
from a foreign land, or having a new born son, or it could mean a marriage to
a righteous woman. If the stone of one’s ring seems unstable in the dream, it
means that one will be fired form his job. Removing one’s ring in a dream means
that one maybe removed from his job. If a woman sees herself removing her
wedding ring in a dream, it means the death of either her husband or of a close
relative. A ring in a dream also connotes a band, an encumbrance, or a shackle.
If one’s ring disappears and only the stone remains in the dream, it means that
once the responsibilities are gone, good memories of the person will remain. A
man wearing a golden ring in a dream represents innovation, and the results
will bring about afflictions, betrayal, or a revolt. Wearing a tight ring in the
dream means that one will be let off from a vicious woman, or that he will be
spared from a wicked duty. A borrowed wedding ring in a dream represents an

or perhaps he may get married, or bear a child. If one sees rings being sold in
the open market in a dream, it means that the estates of the high society are
for sale or it could represent foreclosure. If one sees the skies raining rings in
a dream, it means that he will conceive a child during that year. If he is unwed,
it means that he will marry a rich and a virgin young woman during that same
year. If they are gold rings in the dream, it means that such a woman has lost
her wealth. If one places a ring in his little finger then removes it to place it on
his ring finger, then removes it again to place it on his middle finger in the
dream, it means that he solicits customers for a prostitute. If one notices his ring
sometime in his little finger, then in his middle finger, then in his ring finger
without his doing in the dream, it means that his wife will betray him with
another man. If he sells his ring for pennies or a handful of sesame, or for little
flour in a dream, it means that he will separate from his wife, though they will
have respect for one another, or it could mean that he will offer her a good
financial arrangement. Receiving a ring that is inlaid with a precious stone from
one’s son in a dream represents the good character and qualities of such a son.
A stone which is made from worthless glass beads in the dream denotes a weak
authority. A ring that is inlaid with a green sapphire in the dream means
begetting an intelligent son who will become a great man of knowledge. A
wooden ring in a dream represents a hypocritical woman. If a woman is offered

thoughts wearing a ring and turning its stone toward the palm of his hand in

carries two gemstones, one to the outside and the other to the inside in a dream

dream means an end to one’s poverty. If a pious person, a religious person or an
ascetic receives a silver ring from God Almighty in a dream, it means his
salvation on the Day of Judgment. If he receives a silver ring from God’s
Messenger (uwbp) in a dream, it represents a gift of a greater knowledge. If it
is gold, iron, or copper, then it has negative consequences, because iron rings
represent the chains of the dwellers of hell-fire. Somehow, to wear a simple band
in one’s dream is better than wearing a heavy ring. Heavy rings in a dream also
may connote an assassination or deceit. On the other hand, large rings in a
dream also can be interpreted to mean something great, or something which
entails sizable benefits. Lead rings in a dream mean weak authority. If one
sends his ring to some people who returns it to him in the dream, it means that
he is asking to betroth someone from such a family, but his request will be
declined. If one sees his ring being forcefully pulled out from his finger in a
dream, it means that he will lose his rank or whatever the ring represents to
him. If one loses his ring in a dream, it means that he will experience something
he hates to see it happening to him. (Also see Games; Solomon’s ring)
