Islamic Interpretation
Participating in funeral prayers in a dream signifies building brotherhood with those following God's way, while passing by a funeral procession denotes being a hypocrite who eliminates or slays a wicked individual. Lying in a coffin alone without bearers suggests impending imprisonment, but a coffin carried by others implies backing and serving a powerful figure then gaining monetary compensation for that loyalty. Being unwillingly dragged into a funeral procession means working under an irreligious authority. Perching atop a coffin indicates growing riches, being hoisted and laid into one foretells appointment to a commanding role. Witnessing people conducting funeral prayers and weeping over the departed promises a praiseworthy end to one's life, whereas lack of grief or outright condemnation in the dream points to a disgraceful conclusion. For a trader, official or leader, sitting on a self-moving coffin signals an ocean voyage, a flying coffin means the passing of a prominent scholar in that area unnoticed by residents or the death of a famous person abroad or during pilgrimage travel. A funeral arriving at the graveyard assures restoration of rightful claims, numerous scattered coffins in a place warn of impending unrest, immorality and sin among its inhabitants. Bearing a coffin represents illicit earnings, a woman envisioning her own funeral—if unmarried—predicts forthcoming marriage, if married it means settling her obligations. A funeral traversing a market foretells clearance of stock, honoring a funeral signifies parting or showing regard to a departing companion, paying respects to a moving procession reflects worry for one's own ease. If the corpse in the coffin directs its finger toward the dreamer, it means the dreamer will oversee that person's burial rites and earn recompense for it, completing the service until grave closure promises doubled reward whose true extent is known solely to God Almighty.
