Islamic Interpretation
(Arc) A coffin appearing in a vision denotes substantial riches. Should one witness himself concealing his body within a coffin, this indicates apprehension of an adversary and an inability to confront him, though such imagery may also signify deliverance or evasion of impending perils. If one dreams of riding atop a coffin, it suggests his name is recorded in a testament, or that he will enter into a conflict over a bequest which will ultimately favor him. To be presented with a coffin in a vision means he is granted wisdom, tranquility, and honor. A coffin can also symbolize anxiety and distress, or a means of conveyance. A miller's mixing trough, which historically resembled a coffin in form, represents a righteous individual, a learned man, or a genuine spiritual mentor. (Also see Sarcophagus)
