Islamic Interpretation
Breast-feeding in dreams often relates to dependency, vulnerability, financial hardship, emotional sensitivity, or sudden loss of support. A woman nursing an adult man suggests constrained resources or confinement affecting both parties. Continuing to nurse a child already weaned points to illness or restriction. However, for a woman with child who dreams of nursing, it promises a smooth and safe birth. Suckling milk from a wild or tamed animal, or drinking their milk, indicates a temporary trial or hardship that will eventually pass. A man finding milk in his own chest foretells worldly gains and abundance. If he then nurses another person, it brings unfavorable outcomes for both. A woman observing a man drawing milk forcefully from her breast means he compels her to surrender wealth or possessions. A woman passing among others and attempting to nurse their children, yet producing no milk, signifies enduring barrenness or inability to provide. A person afflicted with sickness who dreams of suckling milk will soon regain health and strength. (Also see Milk)
