All Celestial Bodies Dream Interpretations

Celestial sphere

(Heavens, Firmaments, Constellations) Finding oneself in the first heavenly sphere during a dream signifies keeping company with an oppressive ruler, a deceiver, or becoming close to a postman. The second heavenly sphere denotes the scribes serving a sovereign. The third heavenly sphere points to wedding a lady of distinguished ancestry. The fourth heavenly sphere indicates authority, wealth, and respect. The fifth heavenly sphere signifies union with a woman of exceptional beauty. Journeying along its path accompanied by its stars in that realm in a dream foretells encountering a leader, a brave fighter, a devout person, or an exemplary individual. The sixth heavenly sphere stands for wisdom, divine favors, and firmness in faith. The seventh heavenly sphere reflects the close advisors of a monarch. The eighth heavenly sphere symbolizes the court of a mighty sovereign. The ninth heavenly sphere represents association with a highly honored figure. Beholding the tenth heavenly sphere or the universal encompassing sphere in a dream means coming face to face with the most powerful ruler. Circling a heavenly sphere or a constellation, or merely observing them in a dream, signifies elevation in rank and dignity, fulfillment of ambitions, or growth in influence. Seeing the all-encompassing sphere in a dream indicates that one will encounter the Lord of all creation, the Sovereign of the worlds, and that God Almighty will grant intimate friendship to the foremost ruler on earth. If someone dreams of altering the arrangement of stars, constellations, or galaxies, it denotes wrongdoing or attempting to conceal what is true. For a woman to see herself beneath the tenth heavenly sphere in a dream means she will wed a person from the governing elite. (Also see Constellations, Dog, Moon, Skies, Star)

Clouds

(Vapor, Sky, Rain, Life, Concealment) In a dream, clouds symbolize the path of existence, bringing nourishing rain, water for cleansing, irrigation for crops, and provision. They also represent knowledge, comprehension, insight, and illumination, reflecting divine benevolence. Clouds can denote an army or companions who carry water—water itself symbolizing life and the primal element from which all things are formed. Alternatively, clouds may signify ships, aircraft, or, if dark, bearing stones or thunder, a ruler’s oppressive nature who withholds his people’s rights or imposes harsh decrees. Seeing a cloud inside one’s home or descending into one’s room means joining the company of the faithful, receiving a reward, being granted wisdom, or, for one hoping for a child, his wife conceiving. For a merchant, it indicates his goods reaching their port. Riding upon a cloud signifies elevation, wedding a devout woman, performing the pilgrimage if desired, or gaining renown for knowledge and wisdom. If qualified, it may mean commanding troops, rising in station, or serving as an envoy or ambassador. If people await rain for their fields and one sees clear, rain-laden clouds approaching, it warns of a disaster. Clouds bearing toxic, acidic, or polluted rain, driven by fierce winds, or carrying fire, dust, ashes, or volcanic rocks foretell a calamity befalling that region or news of travelers perishing on a journey. Clouds can also symbolize novel ideologies or fabricated religions spreading across the land. Merging with clouds means associating with a person of authority, a sage, or a scholar. Eating clouds signifies gaining lawful income or wisdom from such a person. Gathering clouds means acquiring wisdom from a companion. Mingling with clouds without deriving benefit means keeping company with the learned but absorbing or applying nothing. Riding atop clouds suggests achieving fame for one’s insight and knowledge. If one’s son becomes a cloud, it means he earns his living by imparting wisdom or religious instruction. Dark clouds denote wisdom, patience, honesty, and gladness; if they appear threatening or frightening, they portend a rebuke from a wise figure. Building a dwelling upon a cloud reflects an honest life, lawful earnings, and a wise, upright character. Erecting a palace on a cloud indicates using wisdom to avoid sin and, through one’s actions, constructing a mansion in Paradise. Holding a cloud from which rain falls represents the wisdom one speaks. Transforming into a rain‑cloud signifies living in abundance and benefiting others with one’s wealth. Becoming a cloud that rains gold means learning wisdom from a great teacher. Clouds may also represent those in power who bestow favors without seeking return. Hearing a human voice call from behind a cloud suggests, God willing, one will perform the pilgrimage. (See Invisible caller). A dark cloud can symbolize a just judge; a white cloud, a blessed and noble justice. Seasonable clouds denote advantage, profit, and prosperity. Masses of dark, rainless clouds bring benefit, intense cold, grief, or sorrow. Red clouds signify distress, hardship, or illness. A cloud enveloping a town indicates blessings. For one planning a journey, dark clouds mean the trip will occur but safety is uncertain; for the sorrowful, they signal relief. White clouds point to labor, employment, or trade. Rising mist suggests embarking on or returning from a journey. Red clouds imply lack of work. A gloomy cloud means anxiety. Clouds that seem to welcome the dreamer bring good news; for a wrongdoer, they portend punishment for misdeeds. Clouds obscuring the sun suggest the ruler of that land is unwell. Wearing a shirt of clouds signifies the favors God has bestowed. Clouds also stand for virtues, miracles, grace, rain, love, and blessings—they often appear when a prophet or saint prays for rain or shelter from the sun. Lastly, clouds can indicate travel by sea or air.

Crescent

If the new crescent moon is seen in its proper place in the sky within a dream, it signifies the birth of a fortunate son, appointment to a significant position, or profit from one's trade. Witnessing several crescents gathered together indicates performing the Hajj pilgrimage. A crimson-colored crescent foretells a pregnancy loss. Should a crescent fall to the ground in the dream, it symbolizes the arrival of an infant. Seeing the new moon when others see it but being unable to oneself denotes one's own death, or signifies deviation and wickedness in the coming year. Observing the crescent at an incorrect time heralds joyful news, a traveler's return, or a childbirth. The moon's first appearance also confirms the truthfulness of a promise or the receipt of money, as obligations often fall due at the month's start. A crescent appearing in an incorrect direction, such as the South or North, points to witnessing or committing a vile act that provokes disgust and may quickly fade, depending on the crescent's duration there. The new moon can also represent a ruler, sudden good tidings, the cry of a newborn, or an insurrectionist. If the crescent is shrouded in murky darkness, or if water or blood trickles from it without rain, it signifies a traveler's homecoming, a caller ascending the minaret for prayer, a preacher on his pulpit, debt repayment, completing the pilgrimage, or life's end. A dim, tarnished, or coppery crescent, or one shaped like a snake or scorpion, denotes evil. Seeing it on the correct night of its birth means one's wife will become pregnant. In dreams, the crescent can also symbolize a small child, turning away from sin, the removal of hardship, release from captivity, or recovery from sickness. Observing the crescent as it rises is more favorable than seeing it set. Its sudden disappearance means one's plan, goal, or desire will not come to pass. (Also see Moon)

Eclipse

Witnessing a solar eclipse in a dream indicates a disaster awaiting the head of the state, whereas a lunar eclipse points to a misfortune that will strike the chief minister. Some interpreters add that a solar eclipse may also foretell the passing of the dreamer’s spouse or his mother. Should a cloud veil the solar radiance in the vision, it foreshadows an illness afflicting the country’s ruler or the regional governor. If the sleeper sees the sun travelling above the clouds yet unable to break through them, it is believed to signal his own demise. Within the dream realm, the sun can embody a distinguished scholar, while a cloud obstructing its light may symbolise the downfall of a tyrannical leader. (See also Moon, Sun)

Heavens

Seeing oneself residing in the lowest heaven in a dream, if one is worthy, indicates appointment to a ministerial position or service under a government minister, since the lower heaven belongs to the Moon, which signifies a chief minister or secretary. The second heaven, linked to Mercury, signifies gaining knowledge, discipline, and refined writing skills, through which people will seek one’s instruction. The third heaven, associated with Venus, indicates prosperity, employing a female servant, owning ornaments, and living in ease and comfort. The fourth heaven, ruled by the Sun, signifies leadership, authority, honor, or service to influential figures. The fifth heaven, related to Mars, indicates presiding over a police unit, mountain guards, a small force, a group of bandits, or managing a brothel. The sixth heaven, governed by Jupiter, signifies profound spiritual insight, religious devotion, becoming a judge if qualified, asceticism, sincere worship, strong faith, sound administration, or serving as a treasurer. The seventh heaven, under Saturn, indicates purchasing a home, land, farmland, or attaining long life. If one is unfit, these benefits may reach a superior, a descendant, or a close associate. Standing beyond the seventh heaven signifies exaltation, though such elevation may directly lead to one’s death. (Also see Mars, Jupiter, Skies)

Moon

Moon. (Contemplation, satellite) In dreams, the moon symbolizes a just ruler, his prime minister, a renowned scholar, a handsome youth, a tyrant, or a deceiver. Seeing the moon in its natural place in the sky signifies the chief minister of the land. If one sees the moon resting in his lap, it indicates marriage. Sitting under moonlight and conversing with a friend points to reverie, fantasy, and idle talk. If a woman dreams that the moon falls into her house and she takes it and wraps it like a swaddled infant, it means she will give birth to a son who will soon die, bringing her deep sorrow. Seeing the moon turn dark means the dismissal of the chief minister. If the moon advances ahead of the sun, it indicates that the minister will rebel against his ruler. When the moon vanishes from the sky, it means stagnation in business or the failure of a request to materialize, whether good or bad, and if it reappears, it means the fulfillment of what is sought, again whether beneficial or harmful. A luminous and shining moon represents justice and prosperity. Seeing the moon inside one’s home indicates the arrival of a guest or a traveller. Seeing it lying on the ground signifies the death of one’s mother, while walking upon the moon reflects affection and devotion toward one’s mother. The sun and the moon together represent one’s father and mother. Seeing one’s own face reflected in the moon foretells death, but if one’s wife is pregnant and he sees his likeness in the moon, it brings glad tidings of a son. Suddenly seeing the moon while gazing at the sky means triumph over enemies. Holding the moon indicates receiving a gift from a ruler or a wealthy person. If a ruler sees the moon dim, it means his people will revolt against him. If the moon transforms into the sun, it signifies honor and wealth coming through one’s father or wife. The moon may also represent one’s wife, children, siblings, property, business, profession, a vessel, a ship, or journeys. For the sick or the traveller, seeing the moon can indicate destruction or death. If clouds veil the moon, it signifies a brief illness, and seeing the moon through clouds indicates losing one’s job. For a wealthy person, clouds covering the moon mean loss of wealth. If the moon speaks to someone, it means attaining a high-ranking position. If a pregnant woman sees herself reaching for the moon without success, it reflects her wish to bear a son. Prostrating to the sun or the moon means committing a grave sin, while seeing the sun and moon prostrating before oneself means one’s parents are pleased with him. If the moon splits into two, it indicates harm befalling a great person or the manifestation of a major divine sign in that place. A lunar eclipse, or the moon becoming dull or reddish, signals major changes in one’s life. The moon can also symbolize a close companion, an unjust governor, his minister or aide, a gambler, an oath, recovery from illness, or eye trouble. Seeing a full moon at the beginning of the lunar month, when it should be a crescent, signifies benefit, while the reverse implies harm.

Star

In a dream, a star represents the most noble, virtuous, and distinguished people, including rulers, political leaders, eminent scholars, and the wealthy elite of society. Stars symbolize guidance, honor, authority, and knowledge, and their condition in a dream reflects the state of such people or of the dreamer’s own rank and destiny. Seeing stars shining brightly and gathered inside one’s house signifies that great people, leaders, or influential figures will assemble in that place. If their light appears dimmed, it means such a meeting will occur secretly, under constraint, or due to fear, calamity, or political pressure. Holding a star in one’s hand signifies the birth of a noble son who will grow to become a leader of high standing. Stealing a star indicates stealing something precious or valuable.

Seeing the seven major or fixed stars signifies trades, professions, knowledge, leadership, and governance, with each star carrying a different destiny or fortune.

Seeing a star above one’s head signifies renown, superiority over peers, or holding a high-ranking office.
