Islamic Interpretation
Seeing famine in a dream reflects hardship, deprivation, and imbalance. If the rulers or authorities of a land are seen suffering from famine, it signifies their greed, oppression, and intimidation of their subjects, as well as the misery and affliction endured by the people under their rule. Such a vision points to injustice, misuse of power, and widespread distress. If scholars are seen suffering from famine in a dream, it represents their intense hunger for knowledge, wisdom, and deeper understanding, or their strong desire to acquire learning and spiritual insight.
