Islamic Interpretation
An engraver in a dream reflects knowledge and devotion to studying prophetic teachings. It may also symbolize deceit, trickery, or misleading others through dishonesty. A stone carver represents dealing with the uneducated; a copper engraver signifies quarrels and illness. A gold or silver engraver reflects sound judgment and proper placement of things. An engraver can also represent a worldly-minded person. If he works with fabrics, he symbolizes a reconciler. Seeing him may indicate spending one’s wealth supporting corrupt individuals or backing falsehood and hypocrisy. His customers represent those who prefer fleeting worldly gain over lasting spiritual reward. If he sells goods without accepting payment, it means he favors his spiritual life and thanks God. If he demands payment, the opposite is true. Trading his wares for wheat or flour shows renouncing materialism and gratitude for divine favor. An engraver may also represent a teacher of arts and sciences.
