Islamic Interpretation
In a dream, one's house carries various symbolic meanings, one of which represents the dreamer's wife or life itself; entering one's house signifies impending marriage or intimate relations with one's spouse; constructing a house indicates recovery from illness for a sick individual; yet if the building process is strenuous and the family tradition involves burying the deceased within the same property, it foretells the death of a sick family member; when no one is ill and the construction involves music and festivities, it portends difficulties, afflictions, and suffering; under those same festive circumstances, if the dreamer is single it denotes marriage, while if married it means giving away a daughter in marriage; being bound and confined inside a house suggests receiving joyful news, or it may signify robust health and wealth; carrying a house upon one's shoulders implies caring for a dependent woman or wife; a house constructed of gold warns that fire will destroy it; a roofless house allowing visibility of the skies, sun, or moon symbolizes the marriage of a woman from that home; discovering a larger house within one's own foretells the arrival or residence of a pious and virtuous woman who will bring blessings to the household; a tunnel beneath the house indicates deceit or the presence of a treacherous individual with access to the family; a house lacking lights represents a woman of wicked disposition, and for a woman dreaming of such a house it signifies encountering a man of immoral character; demolishing one's own house points to internal family disputes; observing grass sprouting indoors heralds an upcoming wedding.
