…– “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…

…Instances in which people owe their “conversions” to dreams are not confined to the Scriptures, but are as common to-day as at any other period of the world’s history.I have frequently questioned men as to the causes that led to their “conversion” and have occasionally elicited very curious replies. A Salvationist, for example, related the following dream, assuring me that he owed his conversion entirely to it. “I was a terrible drunkard, “he said” I drained oceans — beer, gin, brandy, methylated spirits were all the same to me; and I more often fell asleep in a dustbin than in a bed. Well, one night I dreamed I was a chimney-pot amid a veritable sea of chimney-pots of all sorts and descriptions. At first, the air, blowing up through me, was cool and pleasant, but it gradually grew hotter and hotter, and more and more smoky, until I suffered…

…This dream usually implies that there’s a yearning to travel in the dreamer and to change the routine in which he lives (take a vacation, change of address or employment, and find other businesses or even other affections and love). The chances that this wish will come true in a short-term, depends on the symbols displayed in the dream itself, for example: If in the dream the train or bus, or car in which he was traveling leaves the dreamer stranded, then it indicates that it is unlikely to make the trip or change what he wants soon, perhaps because he have failed to seize the opportunity presented to him before and he delayed the date without actually knowing it. If in the dream you appear to get into the train, then it indicates that it is very likely that you will travel or make the change you wanted…

…Since ancient times, death has been interpreted and understood only as a change of one life to another one. Perhaps from a difficult life, challenging and intensive work to one of peace and tranquility. Whether it’s true or not, that is precisely one of the main symbolism of death in dreams: change of life. For example, dreaming of death can mean the disappearance of ambitions and selfishness and that leads into spirituality. Dreaming of death somehow suggests the desire to have a change in life, for example, economically, at home, in employment, business or a renewal of life. Dreaming of death may also be a consequence of extreme fatigue and physical exhaustion, which among other things produces melancholy and disappointment over little things in everyday life. This dream also usually happens after living with great enthusiasm due to false optimism and high hopes, but having it all fail. Therefore…

…Dreaming that a relative, who is still alive, dies, it is an announcement for future setbacks and sorrows. This type of dream is common in people who have suffered failures in real life, for example the frustration of their illusions, hopes, passions business, etc. Those feelings of defeat are the ones that take the shape of a corpse, indicating that the hopes and dreams are dead. In these cases, what you should do is to find a solution to your problems instead than assuming that a family member will die. Dreaming of the dead body of a known person indicates that the dreamer is blaming the other person for his own problems, and that he has a hidden desire for revenge. Dreaming of corpses is also the result of negative influences in everyday life, such as abundant news of wars, crimes, assaults or reading things about terror or revenge,…

…(Companions of God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace | Follow- ers | Successors) Seeing God’s blessed people and His righteous ones, or any of the early companions of God’s Messenger (uwbp), whether such a companion is known or not in a dream represents blessings in one’s life and denotes one’s correct following of their example, and their advice or comments in one’s dream must be heeded. To see oneself as one of such true ones, or to enter their circles in a dream means that one is following their example and enjoying or suffering similar trials to theirs, then he will triumph over his enemies. To see one of the companions living in a city in a dream also represents the joy, happiness, prosperity, and justice the inhabitants of such a city enjoy under the leadership of a righteous governor. (Also see Companions of the Prophet | Scholars |…

…in God’s revelations, or in following the practice of God’s Messenger, upon whom be peace, or following the guidance of one’s teacher or shaikh. Walking on a straight path in a dream means repenting from one’s sins and finding guidance. Seeing many roads in a dream means hesitancy, fluctuations in one’s faith, doubt, heedlessness, or apostasy. A road in a dream also represents a craft, eternity, the past, aging, continuity, the good example, or the bad example. A boat following the correct sea lane in a dream means salvation. A road in a dream also represents a woman, one’s livelihood, truth, or death. If a merchant sees himself walking on a road in a dream, it means that he will find new avenues to earn more money. A hidden road in a dream means pride, innovation and self- deception. (Also see Lane | Roadless terrain | Wending one’s way)…

…in one’s life or job or release from prison. Performing either the solar or the lunar eclipse prayers {arb. Kusiif or Jthusiif) in a dream means that a calamity will befall the leaders of the country or its renowned people, or it could mean the death of a great person of knowledge, whereby everyone will attend his funeral. As for the special prayer for rain {arb. Istisqa), performing it in a dream may represent an accident, or it could mean political unrest. If the people offer this prayer from its inception to its completion in the dream, it means that their adversity will be lifted. Praying any supererogatory prayers {arb. Nafl) in a dream represents piety and devotion to the leading example {arb. Sunnah) practiced by God’s Messenger, upon whom be peace. If a woman sees herself leading men in prayers in the dream, it means that she will shortly…

…are dreaming that you are with shoes that are too tight, then it can mean that there soon will be upsetting situations involving friends and family members; for example, that they will ridicule you in public through harsh and offensive criticism. When you are dreaming that you are with shoes that are tied or stuck to one another, then it symbolizes diverse arguments and material or health losses. When you are dreaming about losing your shoes, or that someone stole them from you, then it indicates losses of various kinds that unlikely will be recovered. If one has spare shoes in the dream, it can mean that the losses will not be permanent and that the dreamer will recover professionally, perhaps with new gains. When you are dreaming that you are wearing shoes of the opposite sex, then it can mean that your name and personality are being slandered and…

…their impending fate.T. Charley, in his News from the Invisible World, furnishes another example of this type of dream, namely, as follows:”Dr. Donne and his wife lived for some time in London with Sir Robert Daury. Sir Robert having occasion to go to Paris, took the doctor along with him, leaving his wife, who was in a delicate state of health, at Sir Robert’s house. Two days after their arrival at Paris, Dr. Donne was left alone in the room where Sir Robert, and he, and some other friends had dined together. Sir Robert returned in half an hour, and as he had left so he found the doctor, alone; but in such an ecstasy and so altered in his looks as amazed Sir Robert to behold. He inquired the cause, and after some time the doctor told him he had seen a dreadful vision. “I beheld,” he said,” my…

Dreaming of cooking usually indicates that the dreamer is thinking of good friends that have distanced themselves and due to pleasant moments spent together, the dreamer wants them back. Dreaming about having some trouble or fight with someone while cooking, for example having food hitting the ground, or breaking something, indicates that the expected friends will create problems for the dreamer. Dreaming of cooking on a stove indicates that soon problems will diminish. When the dreamer is a woman, it indicates that her indifference and lack of affection causes her to lose friendships. Dreaming of a kitchen indicates surprising situations that will bother the dreamer. A woman that dreams of her kitchen being clean and organized hints that her life in the immediate future will be pleasant.

The shoes are the symbols of your path through your life. The different shoes have different meanings. For example dirty, muddy or old shoes that you are tired of living your life. The beautiful and luxurious shoes indicates your desire for great life or shows that you already have one.

…white or light-colored, it simply means serious marriage proposals that does not suit her because soon she will receive another, more advantageous proposal. This may mean that the subconscious of the dreamer is working perfectly and the dream gives the answer that she longs to receive. When you are dreaming of being pursued by a bull, but managing to protect yourself, (for example behind a platform, a tree or a house) then this could mean that although your problems in real life seem serious, in the end everything will be fine, because of intense work and attention that you put. To dream that a bull chases and injures a person can mean that due to problems the dreamer will suffer. When you are seeing many fat bulls grazing peacefully, then it symbolizes prosperity and tranquility. When a woman dreams of two bulls that are fighting, then it is a sign…

In this dream the action happens here and now, if not so this is another dream, for example, if we see relatives and characters from our childhood we refer to children. To see a relative in dreams announces surprises or news. To see that deceased relatives that are alive, announces some good or bad event, depending on whether the relative has a calm or agitated expression.

…To dream that you’re acting fraternally with others implies that you want to link your interests with others to expand your social partnerships, and so accomplish something of common interest, for example: in political relations….

…and her identification was startlingly corroborated by the servants, who, unable to restrain their excitement on seeing her, simultaneously exclaimed, ” The ghost! The ghost!” It then transpired that, for some time past, the house had been haunted by the phantasm of a lady corresponding in every detail to Miss G; and as Miss G was found to be as familiar with every room and passage of the house as if she had lived there all her life, it could only be deducted that she had constantly visited the place in her immaterial body, and that it was her immaterial body (projection) that had been seen by various inmates of the house and taken for a ghost.T. Charley, in his News from the Invisible Worlds quotes the following curious example of a murder prevented by a thrice -fold dream: “Monday, April 2, 1781, I was informed by a person in…

Dreaming of yourself receiving a big surprise indicates that you’re restless because you’re expecting for something to happen (news, for example). This dream is a wish, more than anything, a loosely-defined longing, which is usually interpreted as a hunch or mere uncertainty.

If a woman, especially if she’s young and single, dreams of a sunset, she should analyze her concerns about her age and her economic status for both means the present and the future, because if she normally has concerns about these things, that’s the logical explanation for this dream. When a man or woman dreams of a beautiful sunset, it indicates that the dreamer consider the present he is living in is nice, and that the immediate future will be nice too and will favor him in many ways; for example, the dreamer will receive demonstrations of affection from family and friends. Dreaming of being in a cloudy or rainy sunset suggests future discomfort and not too serious, but time-consuming difficulties.

…It is by no means uncommon to dream of the dead, and as a rule such dreams are of little or no significance. There are, however, exceptions, as, for example, dreams which are extraordinarily vivid and in which the dead appear with some specific purpose; and in these cases I fancy projections take place, and the immaterial body of the sleeper meets the phantasm of the dead on the super physical plane.For the following illustration of this kind of dream I am again indebted to News from theInvisible World. The events in the story, I am about to quote, happened about seventy years ago in the south of Scotland.”Mr. Reid, of Bowland, a gentleman of landed property in the Vale of Gala, was prosecuted for a very considerable sum, the accumulated arrears of tithes, for which he was said to be indebted to a noble family, the lay proprietors.”Mr….

If you dream of the stamps, then such dream indicates the necessity of contact with other people. The symbol or the writing on the stamp, interpreters dream much better as the picture is an indicator of the exact meaning, for example if the stamp had king symbol on it, then it means that one is feeling very powerful while communicating with others. The collection of stamps also indicates worries with finances.

If you dream of buying or seeing a bedspread, it indicates your sexual desires and the way you look or represent yourself. You should try to recreate the colour or the print of the bedspread you had a dream of. For example if the bedspread was red it shows how passionate and sexual you are or if the bedspread is shrinked, it indicates the variety or confusions of your wishes. Usually the bedspread symbolizes the very intimate part of your life.

Symbolically soil speaks of motherhood and fertility, but this message does not have to be taken literally, but taking into account that soil nourishes. For example, dreaming of rich and fruitful soil may be a harbinger of fertility in an economic sense. If we are plowing it in the dream it could be a signal that we need to work on an issue that we have in mind. Harvesting indicates that success will come soon, and if we see ourselves not being able to work on the land, it can be understood that the issue that worries us is not right for us. Some authors also indicate that the land can symbolize our unconscious, the figure of a loved one.

Dreaming that you arrive late for an important event, appointment or place, for example, the airport or train station, or to a meeting with others to discuss business, may mean that you are aware of not properly addressing your issues, which will create problems.

…If you saw the sea in your dream, then such dream symbolizes the two worlds you live in – unconscious and conscious mind of yours. Consider that the dream could also be the reflection of your emotions as maybe you are floating at some situation and do not put the effort to make it better. The state of the water would say much more about the dream, because for example clear water represents tranquility and clarity of your emotions and muddy or dirty water represents opacity of your feelings….

…Dreaming of knives is a bad dream that always predicts various dangers such as lawsuits, losses, accidents, etc., and always with little chance of success for the dreamer. And it is worse when the knives are sharp and pointed. Dreaming of old and defective or rusty knives announces hardships, difficulties, and minor annoyances which are not likely to be overcome, for example in sentimental relationships, socially or in the dreamer’s employment. Dreaming of being wounded with a knife is a warning of serious household or family difficulties. In the case of a single person, it hints sentimental break-ups or worse. Dreaming of injuring someone with a knife reveals that the dreamer has an impulsive, difficult and aggressive temperament that will create serious problems….

To dream that you see the beautiful flower is always a good omen, because it promises growth, happiness and joy. The condition of the flowers also indicate different meanings of the dream. The flowers that are withered signifies the broken dreams or the lack of vitality in your life. The different colors of the flowers have different meanings as well. For example the color black indicates sadness, but the white flowers purity and innocence. To get more detailed dream interpretation please also see the meaning of different flower names.

…The significance of stones (precious and other-wise). Amethyst, success in courtship; blood-stones, legacies; coral, a birth; cornelian, treachery; diamonds, drowning; emeralds, great success in the arts; jasper, inconstancy; opal, separation, divorce, rapture in friendships; pearls, great sorrow; rubies, lover’s kisses; turquoise, the breaking off of an engagement; sapphires, a wedding; common pebbles, petty troubles; black rocks, illness and death; sand, a serious calamity; chalk, ailment or death of a child; granite, accident on land; marble, death.To dream of teeth coming out portends illness or death, but not necessarily of the dreamer. For example, a man told me that, on the night preceding the death of one of his brothers, he dreamed his teeth fell out, and that on one of them was a portrait of the brother who died….

If you see elbows in a dream, then such dream foretells about the necessity to get more freedom and independency. Perhaps you are afraid to show others that you need more individual time only for yourself in order to perform greatly. If the elbow is broken or injured, then such dream shows your incapability to cope with some situation in your waking life. The elbow could also be related to your sexuality. Consider that different elbows have different meanings, as for example the right elbow represents your honesty and the left elbow represents stagnancy.

…To dream one is being murdered portends domestic troubles, and trouble with neighbours, and losing things. To dream that another person is murdered sometimes signifies great danger to that person — indeed, the dream is occasionally verified — or trouble of some sort to that person, or to someone connected with that person.For example, I have been told of a lady, who dreamed most vividly that she saw a woman enter her aunt’s room, whilst the latter was asleep, and smother her with a pillow. Everything was most realistic — the door slowly opening; the white-faced, evil-eyed servant with a candle; her stealthy, gliding footsteps; her coarse hands, knotted knuckles and broken nails; the expression of fiendish glee in her eyes as she took up the pillow, and the quick, subtle jerk with which she brought it down on to the sleeper’s face; the tightening of her lips; the…

…Dreaming that you’re contemplating a smoke cloud usually suggests temporary illusions, and desires of wealth and ephemeral pleasures, being inconsequential at the end. The smoke has much to do with the dreamer’s subconscious; for example, it may be a warning for him/her that a respiratory disease is developing. If you see that smoke coming out from somewhere, it suggests that you’re living a life full of illusions and that you desire to experience ephemeral pleasures. To dream that you’re standing within a smoke cloud, which isn’t actually there in the room, indicates that you’re full of doubts and fears as a result of an intense nervous state. When the smoke dominates the person that is dreaming, it announces a serious risk of falling into a sycophant’s trap that only seeks to harm him/her. Dreaming that you’re fighting against smoke and finally overcome it, totally unharmed from the accident, it…

If you see a dress in a dream, then such dream shows the feminine aspects of your personality. The dream, in which you are wearing the dress, represents your cooperation with your the feminine side. If you feel comfortable and pretty while wearing the dress, then such dream signifies the way you are using femininity. The color of the dress also has different explanations, as for example the white dress symbolizes the purity and innocence and black dress symbolizes the sadness and sorrow. Alternatively, the white dress could indicate the elegance.

This symbol represents two places, one means where we are and the other one where we are going. It’s important to analyze the state of the bridge, and the elements surrounding it, as well as our attitude. For example, if a bridge is over a river with strong currents and we are afraid to cross it, could be interpreted as the fear of being dragged by passions and wild instincts. In any case, this dream shows us the difficulties or easiness that we will go through until we reach our goal.

…Dreaming of one or more fishing nets suggests that soon the dreamer will enjoy of small satisfactions and profits. If the net appears to be hung or rolled, it means mishaps and misfortunes. Dreaming of fishing nets announces various problems that require immediate attention to avoid complications. Dreaming of covering something with a net suggests that the dreamer is acting improperly, and hurting others. Dreaming of an old net suggests that the dreamer’s affairs and businesses are going from bad to worse and that it won’t be able to be solved in a short period of time. Dreaming of walking over nets without a difficulty, announces prosperity due to defeating enemies. But if there are setbacks, for example having your feet tangled with the net, then it means the opposite. If a young woman dreams of walking under nets, it announces that she’ll have many suitors and she won’t…

…(Forearm | Limb | Member | Wing) One’s two arms in a dream represent his two brothers, his two close friends, two sons or partners. If one sees a person with short arms in a dream, it means that he is courageous, generous and wondrous. One’s arm in a dream represent his brother and supporter or a spiritual example he follows. If one’s arm is broken in a dream, it means the death of one’s brother or closest friend, or it could mean an accident or a calamity. One’s arm in a dream also signifies protection from sin or it cold represent his wife, his mother, his teacher, wealth, craft, source of income, a supporting son or a close brother one can depend on at times of difficulties. If one sees that his arm is missing something in a dream, it could mean that he has little brain, though…

It is also common in people who already have some notoriety in a social environment, at work, or already have rich friends. Usually, those who have this kind of dreams are cheerful, good-natured and very funny people, who like to attend parties, go on trips, etc.

A black flag in a dream means drought and doubt, or it could mean a rainstorm. Sighting the flag of an army in a dream means finding one’s way or finding guidance.

…doesn’t have any more hope, our lifetime has run out of time. If it’s a delayed clock it warns us to accelerate our pace of work, if we do not want to see ourselves overtaken by events. If the clock delays it, then it indicates that we should take things more calmly if we do not want to risk our health and our lives. If the hands turn madly or we dream we constantly look at the clock, then it reveals our anxiety about the pace of life we lead. If it works well and the time it tells catches our attention the dream’s meaning depends on the context and the marked time. For example: If we believe it’s all over for us and we see the clock ticking noon, it tells us that a new stage begins full of opportunities because we have a lot of life ahead….

…To dream that you’re working on a sculpture without being a sculptor suggests that you always try to do something for which you’re not prepared or skilled, for example, doing businesses that you don’t know anything about, what will obviously cause you problems and losses. However, when you’re able to finish the sculpture and it ends up being beautiful, it suggests that you’ll successfully solve such problems, but if it’s ugly, defective, and poorly made, it suggests constant setbacks and difficulties. Dreaming about sculptures, especially if they are old, it announces upcoming changes in your life; these changes will worsen your economy but at the same time may improve your social status….

When you are dreaming about sneakers, then it is a clear omen of inconveniences. When you are taking them off, then it is usually a sign of arguments and violence. On the other hand, if the dreamer puts them on, it is usually a sign of comfort and a good life. When we are dreaming about sneakers, it also warns us about the risk of making dangerous commitments, for example, relationships with untrustworthy people. If a woman dreams about her shoes or sneakers as being very appealing and highly regarded by other people, then it indicates her flirtation, which, if not controlled, will cause her headaches and disrepute.
