Discover 105 Islamic dream interpretations about Feelings. Each interpretation is grounded in authentic Islamic scholarship, drawing from classical sources including Ibn Sirin's renowned work on dream interpretation and Imam Al-Nabulsi's comprehensive dream dictionary.

Why Dream Interpretation Matters in Islam

In Islamic tradition, dreams hold significant spiritual meaning. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stated that good dreams are from Allah and are a form of glad tidings. Understanding dream symbolism helps believers reflect on their spiritual state and seek guidance. Our interpretations combine classical scholarship with contextual understanding to provide meaningful insights.

All Feelings Dream Interpretations

Anger

(Wrath, Resentment, Outrage) Departing from home in anger during a dream indicates impending imprisonment. Becoming enraged over worldly matters in a dream reflects scorn and disregard for the faith of Allah. Yet, if the anger arises in defense of divine commands, it signifies acquiring greater might and authority. Feeling anger on behalf of another person in a dream points to a flawed agreement, a spoiled pact, a marital union harboring secret plans for separation, striving after forbidden gains, or amassing wealth through interest. In dreams, interest-bearing loans and anger both symbolize deception in daily life. (See Foam, Frothing at the mouth, Sneezing, Suppressing one's anger)

Blame

To experience blame in a dream signifies following Satan in his wicked deeds and breaking one's word. Blaming oneself indicates uncertainty, turmoil, and perplexity for which one will be chastised, but will later find relief by confronting and overcoming an adversary, thus escaping public censure. Blaming another person carries the same implication as in waking life, leading to suffering reproach from others. If people are seen showering one with money in a dream, it means they are speaking ill of or condemning them. Conversely, if people are seen offering praise, it signifies the dreamer is commendable and performs good deeds. (Also see Censure)

Carnelian-red

(arb. 'Aqiq. A variety of chalcedony, Crystalline mineral, Gem, Jewellery, Precious stone) Seeing a carnelian-red stone in a dream means the end of want. Among all stones at the beginning of creation, the carnelian was first to declare God's Singularity. If one dreams of performing the ritual bath with carnelian essence, it denotes possessing something blessed, which will show in one's endeavors and success in both worldly and spiritual matters. A carnelian stone also represents one's descendants, pious behavior, and noble traits; the white variety holds even greater significance than the red. (Also see Aqiq canyons, Aqiqah rights)

Charity

Giving charity in a dream signifies warding off misfortunes, healing from sickness, gaining earnings, or upholding honesty. The same holds when one acquires wealth through rightful means, but offering a deceased animal, intoxicating drink, or funds obtained wrongly or mishandled as charity renders it invalid, leading the giver to follow wrongdoing and fall into transgression. A farmer facing poor yields who dreams of donating part of his seeds foretells abundant harvests and blessed produce. Donating charity to a wealthy individual in a dream may indicate facing financial hardship oneself or becoming dependent on that person. Giving charitable gifts to a woman of ill repute in a dream means she will turn away from her wrongful ways. Offering charity to a robber signifies that he will abandon his criminal activities. Charity in a dream can also represent overcoming the resentment of adversaries, countering an opponent's envy, curbing his aversions, or restraining wickedness overall. An individual filled with rage who dreams of quietly giving charity indicates that God Almighty has pardoned his fault of wrath. Distributing charity discreetly in a dream may further signify pursuing the companionship of influential figures or associating with scholarly circles. When a learned person is requested to contribute funds for charity and agrees in a dream, it means he will share his understanding with others. For a trader, it foretells aiding people through his commerce or instructing them in his profession. As a skilled worker, he will pass on his expertise. For someone facing difficulties or fearing certain matters, dreaming of providing food to a needy person enduring hardships means that worries and anxieties will vanish. Charity in a dream likewise represents glorifying the Lord, commitment to faith, paying respects at graves, and performing righteous acts. Spending wealth for the sake of God in a dream ensures receiving funds in reality. (Also see Alms tax, Endowment, Good deeds, Loan)

Coarse

(Rough clothing, Harsh food, Severe speech) If a wealthy person dreams of wearing rough garments, eating crude food, or uttering harsh words, it foretells drastic changes in his life that may consume much of his resources. Should he feel at ease or even prefer these changes over his usual comforts, it reflects humility, satisfaction, thankfulness, and sound judgment. If he is disturbed by them, it warns of divine displeasure. Exchanging coarse words in a dream signals growing estrangement between people who once cared for each other.

Cold

(Atmospheric) In a vision, experiencing cold signifies impoverishment. A chilling, blustery climate points to a worsening of one's indigent state. Should the sun be shining yet the air remains cold, and the dreamer finds himself seated in the sunlight, then his condition of want shall be alleviated. To see oneself under the sun's glare and then moving into the shade for refuge suggests his anxieties and sorrows will vanish. Should this vision occur in the summertime, it foretells affluence. If one dreams of seeking a flame or smoke for warmth, it indicates he pursues employment that carries risk. Should he seek warmth from burning coals in the vision, it signifies he will wrongfully take funds from an orphan. Cold in winter holds little meaning, but to experience it in a summer vision means one's intended journey will be cancelled. (Also see Cold weather)

Delight

Feeling delight or rapture from musical performance in a dream means being stirred by sorrow and grief. To experience such joy or ecstasy can also denote diligence, a sharp intellect, cleverness, or becoming aware of someone known to be dull; alternatively, it may signify a sudden shift in a miserly person's behavior as he begins to spend generously. Emotional rapture or ecstasy in a dream can also imply indulging in sin, becoming addicted to drink, committing adultery, or it may signify love for God, turning to Him with true and sincere devotion.

Disbelief

In a dream, denial of faith signifies a wealthy person or attaining wealth. Denying God Almighty can also indicate sickness, oppression, or inflicting harm. Behaving foolishly, impudently, or being rebuked and disgraced similarly points to profanity and lack of faith. Straying from the path denotes sin or error. Making a mistake in the dream reflects negligence in waking life. If one's disbelief becomes publicly known, it foretells committing forgery or giving false testimony. Disbelief may also represent ingratitude, or the state of a dying person awaiting the soul's return to its Creator. It can further signify the grave sin of taking one's own life. (See also Irreligious)

Enamoured

(Love, Poverty) Seeing oneself consumed with passion for someone in a dream signifies distress, calamities, blindness, deafness, or infamy, which may evoke pity from others. For an ill person, such a vision may mean his death. Fire in a dream can also symbolize love. Love in a dream further indicates negligence in religious duties. It may also herald financial losses, the death of a child, divorce, the passing of friends, hunger, journeys, sickness, or dangers. Being enamoured with God denotes deep devotion and certainty. Feigning love in a dream signifies straying from God's path. If one finally reaches or unites with the beloved in the dream, it means adversities may befall him or affect the object of his affection. (See also the entry for Love.)

Exasperation

(Fury, Provocation, Envy) Feeling intense exasperation without cause in a dream foretells an unexpected demise. Such agitation may also denote entanglement in disgrace or contracting a sickness that alters one's outlook on existence. If one dreams of being angered or provoked by another, it warns they will face outcomes from their own traits or incur financial loss. Feelings of exasperation, fury, or irritation in a dream universally point to destitution and monetary decline. (Also see Infuriating)

Fear

Experiencing fear in a dream carries an opposite indication. It points to tranquility and sincere repentance in waking life. Seeing oneself frightened and fleeing from fear means gaining dominance and prevailing. If one dreams of confronting fear as if preparing to fight it, this signifies participation in warfare. Should a person see himself afraid and hear a voice saying, “Do not fear, you will not die, nor will you endure this life,” it suggests the possibility of losing eyesight. Seeing oneself as someone who fears God indicates that worldly anxieties will fade, and true piety and constant remembrance of the Lord will grow. The figure or thing that causes fear symbolizes harm and repulsion. Feeling scared in a dream reflects happiness when awake. Fear may also denote wrongdoing, moral corruption, or suffering the outcomes of past misdeeds. If one dies from fear in a dream, it shows failure to give people their due rights, especially if the fear is of another person or of one’s own unjust actions. (Also see Running away, Take a flight)

Flattery

Using pleasing words to gain worldly advantage, access to knowledge, or employment that aids religious observance in a dream brings honor, improves devotional practice, or achieves spiritual aims. However, it may lead to adverse outcomes if one does not normally pursue such needs, presents requests disingenuously, or seeks favors from a known woman in the vision. It can also mean escaping an adversary's threats. Alternatively, flattering and currying favor with others in a dream may signify prioritizing others' needs above one's own, sincerity, and acts of generosity. (Also see Adulation)

Friendship

Seeing oneself forming friendships or seeking the companionship of righteous people and people of knowledge in a dream signifies purity of intention, sincerity of heart, genuine love for others, and a desire for moral and spiritual growth. It reflects devotion to family bonds, loyalty, kindness, and dedication to serving the needs and interests of relatives and companions. Such a dream also indicates honesty and steadfastness in fulfilling religious obligations, sound faith, and an inclination toward upright conduct, showing that one’s outward relationships mirror inner sincerity and commitment to what is pleasing to God.

Gratitude

Expressing gratitude to God Almighty in a dream signifies relief from distress, renewed strength, wealth, blessings, prosperity, or a plentiful harvest. If a person in authority sees himself thanking God for His favors, it means expansion and increase of his power. Gratitude to God in a dream reflects monotheism and sincere submission to the Divine Will. If the dreamer is hypocritical, it means he will become sincere, and if he is already devoted to his Lord, it indicates that he will associate with a noble, influential, wise, and well-known person. (Also see Prostration)

Greetings

Offering greetings to someone in a dream signifies gaining benefit or advantage from that person. Greeting an adversary points to hostility or the outbreak of conflict between them. Being greeted by an unknown elderly man means protection from divine punishment for one’s sins, while a known old man signifies prosperity. For a farmer, it indicates purchasing fruit tree saplings. Greetings from an unknown young person mean escaping harm from an enemy. For someone seeking marriage, greetings denote acceptance, whereas greeting an unknown person who gives no reply signals refusal. When two merchants greet each other, it shows success in trade, but lack of response indicates dissolution of partnership. If an enemy greets one and presents a gift, it means he seeks reconciliation and is ready to compensate. Being greeted with unfamiliar words and replying normally signifies deliverance from a deadly accident with reward, while refusing or failing to reply brings the opposite. Shaking hands and embracing someone means receiving glad tidings, kind words, or knowledge to be passed on, and doing so with an enemy signifies the end of disputes. Seeing angels greeting the dreamer means growth in insight. Greetings symbolize humility, submission, or the need for a response regarding shared interests. Speaking before greeting, failing to reply, or replying only by gesture denotes innovation. Concluding prayers with the greetings of peace means following the right path, completing tasks, resignation or appointment, dismissal, travel, and profit. Ending prayers by greeting first to the left then to the right indicates following wrongdoing and innovation. Ending prayers without the traditional greetings means prioritizing profit over safeguarding one’s capital. (Also see Prayers)

Happiness

Generally, experiencing happiness in a dream signifies grief or sorrow. Feeling joy over something that the heart inwardly rejects or recognizes as improper conduct indicates sadness and distress in waking life. Happiness in a dream may also point to negligence in observing God’s commands. If the joy in the dream comes from the freeing of a prisoner or the recovery of a sick person, it signals favorable changes ahead. Being told news meant to bring happiness but causing sadness instead, such as hearing of someone’s return when he has in fact passed away, means that sorrow will soon be lifted. Feeling happy in a dream reflects sadness, grief, or weeping, while seeing one’s friends joyful indicates happiness for the dreamer as well.

Harm

In a dream, experiencing harm, damage, or loss signifies fear, distress, shock, or a sudden threat that unsettles the heart and mind, reflecting anxiety or trials that weigh upon the dreamer. Such harm may symbolize inner turmoil, apprehension about future events, or a warning that calls for caution and patience. Complaining or expressing grief over the harm or loss in a dream, however, carries a positive meaning, for it indicates relief after hardship, the easing of fear, and the attainment of one’s aims in waking life. It suggests that through endurance, supplication, and acknowledgment of one’s difficulties, success, fulfillment, and resolution will be granted by God.

Harshness

In a dream, displaying harshness, austerity, grimness, or severity, whether through sharp speech, lack of restraint, or deliberate harsh conduct, signifies pride and arrogance rooted in the ego. It reflects a hardened heart that resists advice, rejects correction, and turns away from remembrance and divine guidance. Being defiant or unmoved when God’s words are spoken in a dream indicates spiritual heedlessness, self-admiration, and persistence in sinful behavior. Such a vision serves as a warning, pointing to moral rigidity, inner blindness, and the danger of distancing oneself from humility, repentance, and obedience, urging the dreamer to soften the heart and return to righteousness.

Hate

Loathing and aversion are roots of discord and hostility among people, who nonetheless require mutual cooperation to achieve shared aims. If one sees himself burdened by contempt, or feels hatred toward another in a dream, it is an ill portent for all parties.

Feelings of hatred within a dream may also represent an earnest desire to pursue righteousness and shun wrongdoing. (Also see Grudge)

Hunger in a dream signifies wearing mourning clothes, being overtaken by fear, or holding one’s hand tightly. It also points to financial loss, striving to preserve certain standards, perseverance in earning a livelihood or pursuing one’s craft, and attachment to worldly matters. Some interpreters view hunger as fullness and thirst as quenching thirst within dreams. Seeing oneself hungry in winter indicates a trial of gluttony. Prolonged hunger in a dream signifies benefits that come after a long delay. Hunger may also symbolize wealth, harmful companionship, visiting others, ascetic practices, fasting, inflation, injustice, poverty, and at times piety, restraint from wrongdoing, or remembering and giving thanks to God Almighty.

Ignorance

Ignorance in a dream, represented by a demanding or obtrusive person, signifies rigidity of mind, lack of understanding, and an inability to benefit from wisdom or sound advice. Just as a stone is hard, unmoving, and unresponsive, an ignorant person in a dream symbolizes stubbornness, emotional coldness, and resistance to truth or guidance. Such a vision may point to dealing with someone who causes distress through insistence, intrusion, or heedlessness, or it may reflect the dreamer’s own state of being unreceptive to knowledge, counsel, or spiritual refinement. (Also see Darkness)

Impurity

(Arabic: Junub. A condition of ceremonial uncleanness preventing the observance of prayers. Excrement, Seed, Water) Within a dream, finding oneself in a state of ritual impurity suggests neglecting essential devotional duties. Following Islamic teachings, maintaining purity is necessary even during mundane daily pursuits. To see oneself praying without the mandated ablution in a dream indicates flaws in one's religious observance, though it may alternatively signify a pledge to dedicate oneself to divine service. Experiencing ritual impurity in a vision can also symbolize perplexity. If one is in such a state and locates no water for purification within the dream, it represents hardships and an incapacity to meet worldly necessities or to fulfill spiritual hopes in the afterlife. Cleansing oneself or laundering garments soiled by impurity in a dream equates to discharging owed obligations to another.

Inattentiveness

Inattentiveness in a dream, marked by absent-mindedness or distraction, signifies inner worries, mental burden, and the confusion that leads to misplacing matters of importance or neglecting responsibilities. It reflects a state of heedlessness in which the dreamer may be overlooking obligations, missing opportunities, or becoming careless toward spiritual or worldly duties, and it serves as a warning of trouble arising from lack of focus, awareness, and mindfulness in one’s actions and intentions.

Read full interpretation

Indigence

Indigence or poverty in a dream represents humility, dependence, and the recognition of one’s need before God Almighty, reflecting a state in which the heart turns away from reliance on people and toward sincere supplication. Expressing one’s need to God and receiving a response in the dream signifies the fulfillment of necessities, relief from hardship, and the opening of doors to provision and comfort, indicating that sincere reliance, prayer, and submission will lead to the easing of distress and the satisfaction of one’s worldly or spiritual needs.

Ingratitude

Seeing oneself rejecting what is true in a dream signifies turning away from faith and falling into disbelief. If one denies what is false in the dream, it means upholding truth and standing firmly against falsehood. Refusing to acknowledge the kindness or favors of others in a dream points to injustice. Denying the divinity of the Creator, the Sustainer, and the Cherisher in a dream represents ingratitude toward God and a state of atheism. (Also see Disbelief, Irreligious, Uncertainty)

Injustice

When powerful people or those in authority are seen acting unjustly in a dream, it indicates periods of conflict, devastation, and turmoil. If justice is practiced by scholars or people of religious knowledge in a dream, it signifies divine forgiveness for one’s sins. Seeing an unjust individual in a dream denotes poverty. Confessing to injustice in a dream means sincere repentance. If an oppressed person is seen invoking a curse against you in a dream, it warns of severe punishment from God Almighty. In dreams, the oppressed will always prevail over the oppressor. Seeing one’s oppressor cursing him in a dream brings good news, for the oppressor is ultimately the loser. (Also see Darkness)

Insanity

(Lunacy, Frenzy, Madness, Mental disturbance) Within a dream, madness or any related state signifies affluence, virtue, and honor. Such a vision can also denote a craving for earthly pleasures, celebrations, or social enjoyment for those who pursue such engagements. If one behaves without reason due to some life event in the dream, it signifies gains acquired through usurious means. Observing oneself in a state of profound joy and exhilaration in a vision suggests entry into paradise. Broadly, madness corresponds to profits that match the extent of one's irrational conduct in the dream. The intensity of the madness witnessed may foretell the magnitude of forthcoming wealth. Yet, such riches will likely be expended in wrongful pursuits and in the fellowship of a corrupt associate. Dreaming of insanity can also be understood as coming into an inheritance. A son's madness in a father's dream represents advantages for the father. A woman's madness in a vision indicates a bountiful harvest for that year. This condition in a dream is also interpreted as being consumed by passionate love. It might further signify enduring severe punishment, or perhaps performing righteous acts without expectation of recompense. (Also see Irrationality, Mental derangement, Mental hospital)

Irrationality

Acting irrationally in a dream signifies behaving with disgrace, foolishness, or shameless conduct in waking life. Showing irrational behavior while deliberately using harsh, violent, or insulting speech and persisting in evil actions in a dream denotes despair of God’s mercy.

Irrationality in a dream can further indicate insolence or speaking ill of people’s honor and chastity. (Also see Insanity, Mental derangement)

Jealousy

Experiencing jealousy in a dream foretells losses for the one who feels it. A jealous individual possesses a wicked trait, and jealousy itself is a vice. If a person who is envied by others sees his situation bettering in the dream, it portends impoverishment, bitterness, spite, sorcery, or ill-will for the envier, and advantages for the target of the envy. In a dream, jealousy further signifies greed, resentment, stinginess, and attachment to worldly matters. To harm someone by gazing upon them with contempt in a dream suggests the aggressor will himself suffer from the malicious gaze of his victim. (Also see Jaundice)

Justice

Witnessing an act of injustice perpetrated by a person in authority within a dream symbolically represents its opposite in waking life, foretelling the establishment of fairness and righteous conduct. Observing an unjust ruler in a dream can paradoxically signify an era of comfort, peace, and societal tranquility under strong protection, or it may point to physical expansions and urban development within one's community. To see oneself acting with justice and impartiality in a dream underscores the imperative to administer fairness and resolve matters equitably, particularly among one's own family members. If the dreamer is ordinarily heedless, sinful, tyrannical, or oppressive and witnesses himself dispensing justice, this powerful vision signifies a profound turning point, heralding sincere repentance and a return to God Almighty, abandoning past transgressions for a path of righteousness and spiritual renewal. (Also see Injustice, Judge, Unjust ruler)

Kindness

Showing kindness or courtesy in a dream, when seen by a person of rank or authority directed toward those of much lower standing, signifies self-humiliation and a decline in dignity or social position. It may point to a loss of prestige, removal from office, or weakening of influence, followed by financial hardship, reduced means, and dependence on the help of others. Such a vision can also serve as a warning of overstepping boundaries in humility, leading to imbalance, vulnerability, or the erosion of respect that once safeguarded one’s status and independence.

Laughter

Laughter in a dream, especially uncontrollable or excessive mirth, signifies a recurring misdeed or sinful habit that one wishes to abandon but finds impossible to overcome, indicating the persistence of moral weakness or temptation; even if the dreamer manages to restrain the laughter or sincerely repents, there is a strong likelihood of falling back into the same wrongdoing, reflecting the ongoing struggle with self-discipline, personal shortcomings, and the challenge of breaking free from ingrained errors. (Also see Menstrual period)

Loneliness

Loneliness in a dream, reflecting aloneness, isolation, or solitude, carries multiple interpretations depending on the dreamer’s circumstances: it can signify fame, artistic talent, or the achievement of excellence and mastery in one’s craft, highlighting the benefits of focus and self-reliance; for a ruler or governor, seeing oneself alone may indicate impeachment or loss of authority, while for others, it can represent poverty, separation from a loved one, humiliation, infamy, or social segregation, illustrating both the potential for personal growth and the risks of isolation, disconnection, or decline in status.

Love

Love in a dream represents trials, temptations, and inner tests. Doing what one loves without restraint suggests engaging in acts without limits. Declaring love to a woman in a dream implies hidden aversion toward her. Indulging every desire freely points to deviation from God’s path and a corrupt way of life. Love also signifies anxiety, grief, and sorrow. It may reflect the ability to express feelings, or conversely, emotional concealment. Love can bring trials accompanied by fame and people’s sympathy. It may also indicate poverty, illness, or death. Death itself may symbolize love, separation from the beloved, or life beyond death. Burning in fire signifies love, entering paradise signifies love, while entering hellfire signifies separation from the beloved. Longing reflects heedlessness. Love can also denote religious corruption or financial loss. Loving for God’s sake signifies mercy among people, whereas loving for personal gain points to a partnership ending in betrayal or a marriage without family approval. Feigning love indicates straying from divine guidance. If a scholar pretends to be enamoured, it means deceiving people through embellished speech and contradicting true standards. (Also see Enamoured, Honey, Lick, Pretending)

Meekness

Meekness, humiliation, or excessive submissiveness in a dream, when seen in learned people, scholars, or those in positions of leadership, signifies a decline in spiritual strength and firmness of faith, indicating hesitation in upholding truth and principles. It reflects weakness of resolve, loss of moral authority, and an inclination to yield to pressure, fear, or the demands of adversaries. Such a vision points to compromise, surrender of rightful stance, or neglect of responsibility, showing that knowledge or rank is no longer supported by conviction and courage. In this context, meekness does not denote humility for God’s sake, but rather degradation, inner fragility, and submission that exposes one to domination, manipulation, or defeat by opponents. (Also see Humiliation)

Read full interpretation

Mental derangement

Mental derangement or madness in a dream symbolizes an altered state of awareness that unveils hidden realities, indicating recognition and discernment of evil people, their schemes, and harmful intentions that were previously concealed. It reflects seeing through deception and becoming aware of corruption that others may ignore. At the same time, such a state can carry a merciful meaning, signifying the lifting of burdens through divine pardon, forgiveness of sins, and release from past faults, as if reason is overwhelmed by mercy rather than blame. In this sense, madness points either to unsettling knowledge of wrongdoing around oneself or to spiritual cleansing, where accountability is eased and the soul is absolved through God’s grace.

Misery

Misery, hardship, and adversity in a dream symbolize states of deprivation and trial, indicating poverty, lack of resources, or financial constraint that weighs heavily on one’s life. They also point to illness and physical or spiritual weakness, as well as inner distress and exhaustion. Such visions reflect division, discord, and the breaking of harmony among people, leading to disputes, estrangement, or enmity. In a broader sense, misery in a dream warns of prolonged difficulty, strained relationships, and hostile conditions that test patience, faith, and endurance, urging caution, reconciliation, and reliance on divine relief.

Read full interpretation

Oppression

Seeing oppression in a dream, especially people wronging and oppressing one another, signifies the coming of tyranny, indicating that an unjust ruler or oppressor may dominate the land, seize authority, or strip people of their rights, and oppression in a dream is also interpreted paradoxically as guidance, while guidance in a dream may be interpreted as oppression, reflecting the reversal of meanings whereby hardship can lead to awakening and rectification, and apparent guidance may expose hidden injustice or severe testing. (Also see Injustice, Terrorization)

Paleness

Seeing one’s face turn pale in a dream points to illness. If the face appears vividly yellow and radiant, it signifies that the dreamer will be counted among those who are honored and blessed in the Hereafter. Paleness of the face may also symbolize disgrace, envy, or hypocrisy. At times, it can indicate devotion, performing night prayers, keeping vigil, being deeply in love, piety, reflection, or fear of a matter. When the face is white while the body is yellow, it shows that the outward appearance is better than what is concealed within. If the face is yellow and pale while the body is white, it means the inner state of the heart is better than what people judge from outward looks. If both face and body appear pale and wasted, it signifies sickness. Paleness of the face alone also denotes grief or sorrow. Wearing yellow clothing in a dream represents illness, unless the garment is of silk. Wearing a yellowish silk brocade cloak indicates religious pretension or engaging in wrongful acts under the guise of faith. (Also see Yellow)

Passion

In dreams, passion or desire reflects the state of one’s inner impulses and moral restraint, and fulfilling a desire with intense passion signifies heedless behavior and actions resembling those of the dwellers of hellfire, marked by excess, lack of discipline, and surrender to base instincts. Feeling a strong yearning, such as longing to see one’s homeland, may indicate separation, divorce between spouses, or a rift between close companions, though in some cases it can also point to a reversal of fortune, such as becoming wealthy after hardship and poverty. In general, desire seen in a dream carries negative connotations, especially when accompanied by crying, lamentation, or emotional turmoil, as it reflects inner unrest and moral weakness, and indulging in one’s desires without restraint is a warning against destructive behavior that leads to spiritual loss and divine displeasure. (Also see Desire)

Patience

In dreams, patience, forbearance, self-control, or restraint signifies glad tidings, divine support, and success, or it may serve as a warning of an upcoming trial that requires endurance and wisdom. Exercising patience in the face of harm, injustice, or adversity indicates elevation in rank, honor, and spiritual status, and it may also point to financial reward, improved living conditions, safety, good health, and eventual victory over difficulties. When a righteous and worthy person shows forbearance in a dream, it reflects increased dignity, closeness to Allah, and a rise in station, whereas if an unfit or morally weak person displays patience, it may signify heavy burdens, unwanted responsibilities, lingering sins, or the onset of illness, highlighting that endurance without righteousness can become a source of hardship rather than reward.

Pride

Seeing pride, arrogance, or vainglory in a dream signifies oppression, injustice, and wrongdoing, for every conceited person appearing in a dream represents an unjust individual in reality. Such a vision reflects abuse of power, denial of others’ rights, and moral corruption rooted in self-admiration. If a deceased person is seen displaying pride in a dream, especially if his appearance is altered or unnatural, it indicates a grievous state in the Hereafter and that God Almighty will not look upon him on the Day of Judgment. Being proud of oneself, one’s wealth, status, or authority in a dream signifies tyranny, harshness toward others, and misuse of blessings, serving as a warning against arrogance and a call to humility and accountability.

Rancour

In a dream, feeling rancour, holding a grudge, or being the target of others’ hatred signifies the attainment of power, elevation in rank, or assuming a position of authority such as governance, where envy and resentment from others naturally arise. At the same time, rancour in a dream serves as a warning symbol, pointing to unlawful or questionable earnings, hidden corruption, or benefit gained through injustice, indicating that resentment and ill feelings may be linked to moral compromise and the harmful consequences of wealth or authority acquired through improper means. (Also see Anger, Handcuff, Grudge)

Tallness

(Height; Stature) Seeing oneself as taller than normal in a dream signifies growth in both understanding and material resources. For a person in authority, it denotes an extension of their influence. For a trader, it indicates commercial success. If one appears exceptionally tall, surpassing all others in height, this may point to approaching death or a sudden decline. It is inauspicious for a tall individual to see themselves as short, as this suggests demotion, loss of esteem, or the end of life. Appearing shorter in a dream can similarly signify death. Increased height in a dream generally means enhanced power and triumph over adversaries. Greater stature also symbolizes a long life. A short person dreaming of being tall may indicate self-delusion, arrogance, or miserliness. (Refer to Figure)

Thirst

Thirst in a dream signifies stagnation in trade, weakness in the property market, and difficulty selling agricultural produce. It also points to poverty, economic decline, recession, or longing for a loved one, wishing to be near him and feeling his absence. Thirst may further symbolize religious corruption. If a thirsty person searches for water but does not find any, it means deliverance from a calamity. Standing thirsty before a well or water source without being able to drink indicates failure to achieve one’s objective. Thirst can also denote moral corruption, or the need to marry in order to safeguard one’s chastity.
