Appetite

In dreams, eating to the point of fullness signals agitation or inability to remain calm. If one becomes completely satiated and cannot take another bite, it may foretell a shift in circumstances, a decline in status, loss of livelihood, or even death. However, if one notices remaining room for more food, that unused space reflects the extent of worldly provision allotted to him. Eating until full can also symbolize earning sustenance or regaining surplus wealth. Some interpreters hold that hunger in a dream is more favorable than feeling full, just as drinking plenty of water is considered better than intense thirst.

The back of an old woman implies the world is abandoning him; if she is middle-aged, he hunts something hard to gain; if young, he awaits a gift and must stay patient. The back likewise symbolises advancing years. Back ache betokens want, illness, weakness, a boss’s jail, or a brother’s death. It may also mark reliance on a powerful patron. Shouldering a heavy load refers to debts or a harmful neighbour. A snapped back equals loss of vigour and command, or death itself. For a sick dreamer it warns that the carer may die soon, or that poverty waits. Burdens equal sins; a coffin or trade goods forgotten debts surfacing at awkward moments; timber slander, tale-bearing, lies; many children with little cash to feed them.

Eyes

Eyes in a dream stand for one’s religion, spiritual insight, or material wealth. Grass sprouting all over the body yet leaving the eyes and ears uncovered signifies great prosperity. The eyes themselves symbolise faith and the path leading to success in both worlds. They may also indicate proper guidance or neglect of it. Possessing numerous eyes across the body reflects deep piety, constant watchfulness, and noble character. Seeing with the eyes of the heart means perceiving truth with perfect clarity. A sideways glance from another person warns of hardship, distrust, blame, suspicion, or contempt coming from him; if he then looks straight ahead, he will instead assist in one’s affairs or defend one’s interests. Eyes turning to iron foretell distress, disgrace, or severe affliction inflicted by one’s own people. Gazing lustfully at women denotes committing sin with the eyes and coveting what is forbidden. Liking someone’s eyes signals impending trouble, corruption of faith, or envy. An extra eye growing within the body reveals disbelief; one over the shoulder means receiving funds while absent. Fixed, staring eyes indicate suspicion toward a relative or another man’s wife.

Keen vision brings blessings; weak vision leads to unemployment and dependence on charity. A father seeing dimness in his sight foretells illness striking his children.

An oppressed person with weak eyes will soon receive help; a traveller with the same vision will never return home. Eyes that belong to a stranger warn of oncoming blindness; if the person is known, the dreamer will marry his daughter. Eyes dropping into one’s lap announce the death of a brother or son. Human eyes also represent one’s beloved, child, or faith; any blemish upon them mirrors flaws in those matters. A hundred eyes equal money, while a ruler’s eyes are his spies. Treating the eyes with ointment signifies reforming one’s religious practice or fathering a son who will become the light of his father’s eyes. If a banished brother is mentioned, the dreamer will call him back and entrust him with family duties. Sight clearer than people imagine reveals hidden inner excellence; sight weaker than known, yet concealed, shows secret steadfastness in faith. Eyes turning pure white indicate grief or loss of a loved one; when the whiteness clears, the beloved returns and sorrow ends. The right eye symbolises the son, the left eye the daughter; a father whose eyes switch places must separate his children’s sleeping quarters. Eating an eye means appropriating another’s wealth. Eyes without lashes signify rebellion against divine law; plucking one’s own lashes exposes one to enemies. Beautiful eyes may warn of sorcery or black magic. Eyes further represent family, kin, children, or workers, mourning, illness, calamity, or divine punishment for sins. Guarding the eyes from unlawful sights means obedience to Allah’s commands.

In dreams, the face reflects a person’s inner state and condition. A radiant, pleasant, or attractive face signifies good news, happiness, and a wholesome life, while a dull or opaque face indicates the opposite.

If someone without whiskers dreams of hair growing on the sides of his upper lip, it implies heavy debts or loss of honor. A face that appears altered, diminished in beauty, or unclear represents excessive joking, for too much laughter and jest reduce respect. If the cheeks lack skin, it means the dreamer survives by begging or relying on others. Dust covering the face signifies weakness in religious commitment. A bluish face or eyes indicate being sinful or blameworthy in God’s sight. An opaque face symbolizes lying or religious innovation. A rosy or reddish face with white spots signifies joy, happiness, and comfort. If a righteous person sees his face blushing, it reflects shame over a past action. A face drenched in sweat symbolizes modesty and restraint. Frowning with a reddened face points to distress, loss, or hardship, while frowning at someone signifies suffering caused by that person.

A smiling, cheerful face represents happiness and righteousness, whether the person is living or deceased. The beauty of a woman’s or a child’s face indicates blessings.

Feces

((Defecation, Excretion, Human waste) Feces in a dream generally symbolize money, material gain, or what a person earns and disposes of. Excreting solid waste indicates spending large sums of money, particularly on health care or bodily needs. Having diarrhea or defecating openly in public warns of exposing oneself to disgrace, scandal, or the utterance of obscene and improper words. Excreting involuntarily, then cleaning oneself and carrying what was excreted, signifies lawful earnings and financial gain. Feces may also symbolize honey, indicating wealth that comes easily. Defecating in one’s bed signifies separation or divorce from one’s wife. Walking on feces represents distress, grief, or depression, while leaving the bathroom after cleansing oneself signifies relief from hardship and deliverance from troubles. Falling into a sewer or toilet bowl denotes imprisonment or severe restriction. Soiling one’s clothes or pants with feces symbolizes falling into sin, humiliation, foul speech, or disgraceful behavior. Feces may also represent money, hidden secrets, travel, disputes, recovery from illness, disturbing thoughts, inner whisperings, temptation, or entrusted wealth. The foul smell of feces symbolizes a fine, excess in duty, or, for a pregnant woman, a miscarriage. Smearing one’s clothes with another person’s feces indicates borrowing money from him or remaining indebted to his favor for a long time. Feces can also point to earnings obtained from an unjust or despicable person. Excreting in a dream may signify releasing worries, removing burdens, or relieving pressure. If one defecates in an ablution area, it indicates that his spending or actions are driven by desire, showing off, or love of reputation. Defecating in an unknown place signifies deeds that go unrecognized and unrewarded. Entering a bathroom represents settling debts, dispelling worries, or paying unavoidable financial obligations, such as child support. Defecating inside a garment in the wilderness rather than openly symbolizes committing a sin and bearing its consequences for a time. Excreting outdoors and covering the waste with soil signifies concealing money. Defecating publicly in a marketplace represents divine displeasure and the curse of angels. Throwing feces at someone indicates provoking conflict, opposing him unjustly, or causing him harm, with consequences that may return to the aggressor. Standing in sewers and searching through filth with a stick signifies becoming a judge or authority figure who may be accused of corruption or misuse of funds. Seeing human excrement also denotes stagnation, obstruction of affairs, or facing severe and complicated hardships.

Fever

Experiencing fever in a dream signifies settling outstanding obligations, as physical fever serves to expiate transgressions. This vision may also indicate impending danger or a looming threat. Observing a known person afflicted by fever suggests becoming entangled in affairs that could compromise one's religious devotion. Fever may further symbolize wearing the garments of a respected figure. It acts as a herald from the angel of death, offering warning—urging repentance and correction of one's spiritual state before the final encounter. Shivering from fever reflects disregard and disrespect toward religious observances. Dreaming of one's own death, washing, and shrouding for burial points to persistent sinfulness and heedlessness of consequences—a warning typically granted only to the defiant transgressor who receives such mercy. Fever could also represent entering a heated bath or steam room and enduring discomfort, fatigue, and thirst therein. (Also see Bathhouse)

Washing or cleaning one’s clothes in a dream represents sincere repentance, purification of the soul, and the removal of sins and burdens.

Mangy

(Animal skin ailment, Infectious disease) In a dream, manginess symbolizes pestilence or widespread illness.

Tongue

(Also known as Interpreter, Pen, Writer of words, Stinger, Translator) Within a dream, the tongue signifies one's personal translator or the manager of one's affairs. It is considered the primary instrument of sin. To move the tongue without producing speech in a vision indicates committing a transgression. Witnessing one's tongue grow larger, broader, or longer suggests gaining power and prevailing over an adversary. Should the tongue extend without any quarrel or debate present, this points to possessing a malicious tongue, engaging in gossip, speaking ill of others, or employing foul and disgraceful language. A lengthy tongue may alternatively denote clarity and eloquence in expression. Possessing two tongues signifies learning another language or mastering a second craft, utilizing evidence from another in legal proceedings, or achieving triumph over a foe. A tongue that feels bound or knotted indicates business stagnation or the onset of poverty. The appearance of black hair upon the tongue warns of an imminent calamity, while grey hair suggests a slowly approaching misfortune. Hair growth on the tongue can also symbolize composing or reciting poetry. The tongue further represents a solid defense, the grace and persuasiveness of one's speech, a skilled professional delivery, a reputable standing, and virtuous behavior. If a ruler's tongue is severed, it foretells the demise of his spokesperson or scribe. In dreams, the human tongue also stands for one's pen and authority to sign documents. A tongue that elongates to touch the heavens signifies a leader's removal from power due to tyrannical and unjust rule. Conversely, a ruler's lengthening tongue may reflect the growth of his authority and the absolute effectiveness of his decrees. The tongue can also symbolize a nursing infant, a lion in its cave, or a clever fighter. Releasing a lion from its den thus represents the tongue's power to wound feelings or reputations. To see oneself tongueless may predict the death of a child. For a defendant in court, a cut-off tongue means his evidence will be dismissed by the judge. Losing only part of the tongue hints at doubts regarding a witness's testimony, a merchant failing in a significant transaction, or a student not finishing their studies. Some interpretations say a severed tongue indicates a patient and tolerant individual. A wife with a cut tongue signifies her chastity and piety. If a wife severs her husband's tongue, it means she will show him affection and playful fondness. Cutting off a poor person's tongue denotes giving to an insolent individual to ward off their mischief. A poor person cutting another's tongue foretells a conflict between them. A tongue adhering to the roof of the mouth suggests denying someone's rights, rejecting truth, or breaking a trust held for safekeeping. Consuming or biting one's own tongue signifies an action one will later regret; for a leader, it implies embezzlement or bribery. Biting the tongue can also mean choosing silence, withholding counsel, or restraining rage and temper. It may further indicate greed. Having one's tongue removed invalidates one's argument or prevents requests. A poet's tongue being cut suggests receiving payment for a recitation. A black tongue indicates one may lead his community; for a deceitful person, it confirms their falsehood. A fearful person seeing their tongue portends defeat in a struggle, leading to slander and disgrace. A miserable person with many tongues forecasts a large family or the ability to speak numerous foreign languages. A forked tongue reveals a liar. Multiple, multi-colored tongues suggest telling inconsistent tales or represent a composer of music. People touching or sucking one's tongue indicates they gain knowledge from him, or it symbolizes flattery and influence-peddling in official matters. The tongue can also represent a concealed treasure, hidden wisdom, a flattering servant, an employee, a home, a conveyance, a cunning enemy, the sapling of a fruit tree, a troublesome wife, a barren woman, spoken and irretrievable words, income, gathering refuse, following tracks, an officer of the law, or a captive. An animal's tongue symbolizes life or death, as it functions like a hand for grasping. A scholar's severed tongue means losing a debate or the death of an aide, pupil, or child. Losing one's tongue reflects the spiteful delight of enemies, family, or neighbors at one's misfortune, or may signify the loss of a loved one, a severed bond, a crop blight, marital separation, divorce, loss of employment, or relocation. Two tongues can also denote hypocrisy and duplicity. If the second tongue does not hinder speech, it signifies honesty, love, and kindness. The tongue may also embody a feared object, like a falling ceiling, or represent an adversary. It can mean distancing oneself from the learned and wise, practicing quiet discretion, tending to one's own matters, or expressing devout gratitude to God for His endowments and favors. The tongue also represents a prisoner of war or a serpent concealed in its hole. Examining one's tongue in a dream symbolizes mastering one's speech.

Tooth

Dreaming of teeth symbolizes an individual’s essence, years, lineage, sons, daughters, kin, wealth, attendants, household creatures, workers, arms, existence, demise, harmony, parting, deposits, or reserves. Within the vision, the upper teeth of a man or woman signify the male kin from the father’s lineage, while the lower jaw’s teeth denote female relatives from the mother’s side. Relatives are closer the nearer the teeth are to the front. Separated into two parts, the upper right front tooth stands for the father; the upper left front tooth signifies a paternal uncle, or may represent sisters, sons, or an intimate companion. The upper pointed teeth, or canines, denote a cousin or two friends bound like cousins. The premolars symbolize maternal uncles and their offspring, and the molars represent grandparents and grandchildren. The lower right front tooth is the mother; the lower left front tooth is an aunt from the father’s side, or they may indicate two sisters, two daughters, or two devoted friends sharing deep affection and care. The lower canines signify a female cousin from either parental line. The lower pointed tooth, or eye-tooth, denotes the master of the household or the property owner. The upper and lower molars also signify the most distant family members, including a grandmother and her granddaughters. A tooth shifting in its socket foretells an ailment. Its dropping or loss predicts the death of the person it represents, or a permanent separation where they are seen no more. Should one retrieve and keep a lost tooth instead of interring it, it indicates someone will arrive and become as dear as that relation. Burying it, however, means the relative’s passing. (2) In dreams, the parts of the body also reflect family members, and their condition may manifest among kin. Likewise, anything affecting the teeth in a vision can be read as impacting those relatives. If front teeth appear lovely and shining, they forecast authority, distinction, and success for the father or an uncle. Additional front teeth growing in the mouth herald an expansion of the family through a newborn brother or son. Teeth seeming slightly decayed suggest an ordeal, or a shameful act by the family that brings dishonor. Attempting to extract one’s own teeth signifies spending wealth reluctantly, paying a penalty, breaking from parents and severing blood bonds, or proving disloyal to relatives. Teeth turning yellow or black portends a disgraceful deed that will taint the family’s name. Yellow teeth may also mean expending resources to recover one’s standing, or being regarded as learned. A foul oral odor implies negative consequences arising from praises the family receives. Decaying teeth indicate weakness within the family unit. Being bitten by people in a dream suggests one might have feigned something publicly but managed to hold back. (31If the mouth symbolizes the household, then teeth on the right side are the boys, and on the left are the girls. Alternatively, right-side teeth may signify the elder generation, left-side the younger. Front teeth represent the young men of the family; the pointed canines symbolize the young women. Molars denote the aged. Losing a molar foretells the death of an elderly household member. (4lHuman teeth also denote one’s enterprise and conduct of life. Here, molars reflect private affairs, the eye-tooth semi-public matters, and the front incisors what is done openly—one’s public persona, speech, and actions. Broken teeth suggest slowly settling debts. Long teeth signify hostility or conflict among household members. Seeing teeth become crooked and decayed, then deciding extraction is best, means escaping grave troubles and perils. Teeth turning to gold brings gains for an instructor or orator; for others, golden teeth signify fire, sickness, a fungal ailment, or a malady from excess bile. Teeth becoming glass or wood predicts death. Silver teeth indicate injury or financial loss. Front teeth falling out and being replaced by new ones signifies profound life changes. Forcibly pressing the tongue against the teeth means speaking ill of one’s own family or indicates domestic strife. Damage or loss of the crown or enamel of an eye-tooth foretells a son’s death. (')Teeth symbolize one’s extended family, close kin, or distant cousins. Molars are the males; front teeth are the females. Needlessly pulling teeth means incurring a penalty, losing principal funds, or cutting ties with family. Discovering one or two cavities suggests one may father one or two sons. A bad mouth odor signifies disparaging another’s thoughts or a familial quarrel. Fallen teeth may indicate spouses sleeping apart, poverty, dying abroad, or an extended lifespan. Extracting and burying one’s teeth means the entire clan or family will perish before the dreamer. Pulling teeth also reveals one’s secrets. Losing a tooth can imply retribution for a misdeed. Upper and lower jaw teeth intermixing means women dominate the men in the family. Flossing teeth indicates the family scattering or loss of possessions and money. If meat remains lodged between teeth after flossing, it means the dreamer backbites his relatives. (8) Teeth may also represent a strand of pearls, a millstone, or a military array—the right flank, left flank, and forward assault line—or they can mean cutting blood relations. Front teeth may symbolize a person’s heart. Teeth in a pocket or palm represent brothers. If a confined relative is seen and one’s teeth are extracted, it means that relative’s release from detention. Extracting one’s own teeth could also mean a traveler’s homecoming. Tartar on teeth reveals family frailties. Black or fractured teeth denote grief caused by kin. Wisdom teeth symbolize one’s adherents; front and canine teeth represent wealth, ornamentation, pride, or offspring. Their color changing to yellow or black reflects life changes. Teeth turning to iron denotes fortitude. Losing teeth may also mean losing employment. Extracting teeth so none can see them implies barrenness, business failure, loss of savings, poor family relations, an evil act toward kin, or attempting to fund an enterprise with borrowed money leading to ruin. Pulling out a troublesome tooth from waking life in a dream means trying to pacify a difficult person whose harmfulness will end. Replacing a tooth with a bridge means recouping losses or balancing one’s affairs. An extra tooth in a dream predicts losing one in reality. (Refer also to: Body; Suffering; Teeth)

Uvula

If a person sees his uvula swollen in a dream to the point that it blocks his mouth or restricts his breathing, this vision carries serious moral and spiritual implications. It symbolizes excessive greed and covetousness, a strong attachment to wealth, and an overwhelming desire to hoard money. Such a dream reflects extreme frugality and miserliness, indicating a heart that has become constricted by worldly possessions and fear of loss. The obstruction of breathing also points to inner suffocation, spiritual heaviness, and the narrowing of one’s life or provision. In its severest interpretation, this dream may indicate the nearing of death, as the blockage signifies the closing of worldly avenues and the tightening of one’s time and fate. The vision thus serves as a warning to loosen one’s attachment to wealth, give in charity, purify intentions, and prepare for the Hereafter.

Vagina

Seeing a vagina in a dream generally symbolizes relief, release, and the easing of hardship for one who is experiencing distress, pressure, grief, or sorrow. It often signifies the fulfillment of needs and desires, the attainment of comfort, or the resolution of difficult matters. In many cases, it represents marriage, partnership, intimacy within lawful bounds, or reunion with one’s family, as well as the blessing of children. Symbolically, the vagina may also represent hidden or inward matters, such as one’s deepest secrets, concealed intentions, or matters kept private. It can signify the entrance to a house or the front door, travel and movement, or the prayer niche (miḥrāb) of a mosque, pointing to humility, devotion, and inward focus. It may further symbolize running water, warmth, an oven, a garment, a canyon, or a place of shelter and containment. In some interpretations, seeing a vagina in a dream indicates discovering a cure for an illness, finding an elixir, dispelling doubt, distinguishing truth from falsehood, attaining guidance, or heeding sincere admonition. It may also reflect relief after lawful marital relations, satisfaction, or emotional closeness. For a man, looking at a woman’s vagina in a dream can reflect his inner state: it may indicate immoral thoughts, overwhelming desires, neediness, or humiliation. Alternatively, it may signify the elevated status, dignity, or high regard that the woman holds in his perception. For a woman, seeing a man’s sexual organ in a dream symbolizes strength, determination, assertiveness, or a drive commonly attributed to masculine qualities. If a prisoner sees himself possessing a vagina in a dream, it signifies his release from imprisonment. For a person suffering from depression or anxiety, it indicates relief and emotional liberation. For someone facing legal proceedings, it means victory in court, and for one confronting an enemy, it signifies triumph over the opponent. Seeing the vagina of an elderly woman in a dream signifies loss in trade or business, decline in opportunity, or fading worldly prospects. If one sees himself re-entering the womb through a woman’s vagina, this is a grave sign indicating death and return to the origin. In negative symbolism, a vagina in a dream may represent a deceitful, predatory, or treacherous person—one who displays piety by day but reveals corruption or harm by night. It may also symbolize a shameless, insolent worker or an immoral character. In another symbolic dimension, the vagina may represent a bird’s nest. In this context, capturing a bird or looking inside a nest in a dream signifies marriage or forming a household. If a woman sees water entering her vagina in a dream, it indicates conception and pregnancy. However, if a woman’s vagina turns into iron or another metal, it signifies the loss of hope in fulfilling aspirations, desires, or essential needs, and reflects emotional or spiritual blockage.

Vascular blockage

When a person suffering from blood thickening or clotting sees retention or discharge of it in a dream, it denotes selling stagnant goods or recovering from sickness. If such a condition is uncommon, seeing it in a dream indicates becoming aware of a wrongful deed, uncovering a theft at home, violation of a relative’s grave, body theft, or exhuming and relocating a corpse.

Veins

(Blood ties, family, relatives, lineage, vessels) TVeins in a dream symbolize blood relations, family bonds, lineage, and tribal or clan affiliation. The likeness of a person’s veins is that of a tree and its branches, where the trunk represents the origin and the branches represent descendants and relatives. Thus, veins seen in a dream reflect one’s family members, with each vein corresponding to relatives according to the part of the body in which it appears. The condition, strength, and beauty of one’s veins in a dream mirror the state of one’s family. Healthy, clear, and well-formed veins indicate harmony, well-being, and sound relationships among relatives, whereas weak or disfigured veins point to discord, weakness, or trouble within the family. If a person sees one of his veins split open in a dream, it may signify the death of a relative. This vision can also indicate deception, wrongdoing, an accident, or an impending calamity. In another sense, it may symbolize family division, severed ties, or conflict among relatives. Seeing veins exposed in a dream signifies hardship, vulnerability, or difficulties affecting one’s household or close kin. The points of pulsation in the veins or arteries—particularly those near the wrist or carpal tunnel—represent one’s livelihood, occupation, and income, or they may symbolize the elderly members of the family, whose presence sustains and supports the household. If a wealthy person sees a specific quantity of blood flowing through his veins in a dream, it means he will lose an equivalent portion or percentage of his wealth. Conversely, if a poor person sees the same vision, it signifies that he will gain an equal amount of money or provision. Overall, veins in a dream serve as a powerful symbol of kinship, sustenance, continuity, and the hidden connections that bind a person to his family and means of livelihood.

Wings

Seeing wings in a dream carries meanings related to movement, support, responsibility, and one’s worldly and familial affairs. If a person sees himself flying with wings in a dream, it signifies travel, relocation, or a significant transition from one state or place to another. Wings in a dream also symbolize one’s children, as they are a source of strength, continuation, and support. If one sees his wings fully feathered and well formed, it represents prosperity, authority, dignity, or increased power and influence. Such a vision reflects growth, capability, and stability in one’s life. If a person sees himself flying with someone else’s wings in a dream, it means that he will receive help, backing, or support from another person. This reflects reliance on others and benefiting from their resources, authority, or influence. Hence the common saying among traditional interpreters: “So-and-so flew with so-and-so’s wings.” Having wings but not using them to fly in a dream signifies the accumulation of worldly wealth, material comfort, or possessions that are kept in reserve rather than actively employed. It reflects potential, resources, or means that are present but not fully utilized. A broken wing in a dream represents a severe illness that may befall one’s son or cause him great weakness. If the dreamer feels intense pain from his wings being torn from his shoulders, it may signify the death of his son, indicating profound loss and grief. A wing that exists but does not allow flight symbolizes a lasting wound, setback, or permanent scar in one’s life that hinders progress and advancement. It may also represent punishment for sins, accountability, or consequences that restrain a person’s freedom and ability to move forward. (Also see Arm, Transformation)

Wound

An injury in a vision foretells recompense money that will emerge from harm one might endure, and it shall become apparent. A laceration on the right hand signifies wealth obtained from a family enterprise. If the left hand is cut, such gains will arrive through a female relation. Should one see his left foot bleeding from a wound, it denotes earnings from agricultural work. An injury to the back indicates profits flowing from one's offspring. If a wound bleeds in the dream, it represents an outstanding debt that must be settled, even if currently difficult. Every bleeding injury symbolizes a monetary duty. A head wound that does not bleed is an admonition to safeguard one's finances. A non-bleeding wound also signifies attaining respect from others. Should a person of authority be wounded in an accident, with flesh parted and bones exposed, he will live long enough to witness the passing of most of his kin. If an army commander sees his left hand injured, his forces will multiply. A wound to his right hand denotes an expansion of his domain. A stomach wound indicates an increase in material standing. An injury to the thigh shows the strengthening of one's tribe. Wounds on the legs signify a long life. A wounded foot denotes the consolidation of one's power and command. If one is cut but no blood flows, it means the aggressor will speak a truth about his target, revealing an answer the dreamer needs to grasp. A bleeding wound also signifies being maligned, though the words spoken will be accurate. If one sees an angel piercing his belly with a sword, making him think he has perished, he may suffer from an ulcer that will eventually mend.
