Islamic Interpretation
In a dream, a garden symbolizes repentance, and repentance from sin is represented by a garden. Watering your own garden signifies marital relations, while a dry garden indicates your wife is menstruating and intercourse is prohibited. If another waters your garden, it foretells betrayal by that person with your wife. Entering an unknown, neglected garden denotes distress and worries. A garden can also represent a woman, both requiring water and bearing fruit or children; its trees and fruits then symbolize her tribe and family. An unknown garden further signifies the Holy Qur'an. Additionally, a garden may symbolize a marketplace, a bride's house, property, domesticated animals, a shop, business, tavern, bathhouse, generosity, an army of slaves or cattle, or personal assets. Being inside a garden means comfort and growth in life; if it is God's house, the dreamer is in paradise, and if sick, it portends death from illness and entry into paradise. An unknown garden, especially with a woman calling or offering milk or honey from rivers, suggests martyrdom, particularly if unlike earthly gardens. For an unmarried person, viewing a garden means meeting a suitable spouse and marriage; for a married person, it means joy from one's wife. A garden with associates indicates a marketplace. A servant urinating in a garden well or stream warns of family betrayal by a relative. A garden with a known owner represents a mosque, park, scholars, ignorant people, the generous, or the stingy, and can be a gathering place for all types. It may also indicate a religious center, school, research center, or place of worship. Entering a garden during fruit harvest brings glad tidings, money, increased good deeds, marriage, or children; entering in fall means defamation, debt, divorce, or loss of a child. Seeing a deceased person in a garden confirms they are in paradise. Overall, a garden in a dream is a source of nourishment, with fruits of various colors and tastes from sweet to bitter.
