Islamic Interpretation
(Helper, Loins, Offspring, Spinal column) In a dream the spine stands for one’s chief supporter or right-hand helper. A sturdy backbone shows steady behaviour, quiet dignity, and sober calm. Whether frail or firm, it may also point to the dreamer’s son. Feeling it solid foretells growing wisdom or the birth of a boy who will mature into a righteous man. Some interpreters link the backbone to crucifixion, others to wedding a virgin. A tree sprouting from it signals sickness; should a patient dream that the spine turns to iron, recovery is near.
