Category: Human Body

In dreams, the face reflects a person’s inner state and condition. A radiant, pleasant, or attractive face signifies good news, happiness, and a wholesome life, while a dull or opaque face indicates the opposite. Generally, a yellow face points to humiliation, isolation, hypocrisy, or illness; however, if a believer sees his face yellow, it may signify piety, devotion, and fear of sin. Facial yellowness can also symbolize being in love. If a dark-skinned person sees his face white, it denotes hypocrisy, insolence, or shamelessness. If a light-skinned person sees his face black, it suggests that his heart and intentions are better than others assume. Seeing one’s face white while the body appears black indicates outward decency that conceals improper conduct. If someone without whiskers dreams of hair growing on the sides of his upper lip, it implies heavy debts or loss of honor. A face that appears altered, diminished in beauty, or unclear represents excessive joking, for too much laughter and jest reduce respect. If the cheeks lack skin, it means the dreamer survives by begging or relying on others. Dust covering the face signifies weakness in religious commitment. A bluish face or eyes indicate being sinful or blameworthy in God’s sight. An opaque face symbolizes lying or religious innovation. A rosy or reddish face with white spots signifies joy, happiness, and comfort. If a righteous person sees his face blushing, it reflects shame over a past action. A face drenched in sweat symbolizes modesty and restraint. Frowning with a reddened face points to distress, loss, or hardship, while frowning at someone signifies suffering caused by that person. If a woman sees her face blackened with soot, it foretells the death of her husband. If she adorns herself with makeup and perfume, it signals glad tidings for herself and her spouse. A smiling, cheerful face represents happiness and righteousness, whether the person is living or deceased. The beauty of a woman’s or a child’s face indicates blessings. Having two faces foretells a dreadful end, as God does not favor the double-faced. If a scholar sees himself with multiple faces, it means he applies his knowledge in diverse ways or offers multiple interpretations. A frowning, crying, scarred, or darkened face may signify fear, loss of employment, or deceit. Cracked facial skin denotes lack of modesty or shame, and an ugly or repulsive facial expression represents loathsomeness itself. (Also see Body, Jesting)

To faint or lose consciousness in a dream signifies being overwhelmed by intense grief, deep sorrow, or emotional anguish.

Seeing a falcon in a dream signifies theft, strength, triumph over an adversary, fulfillment of intentions, a desire for many offspring, marriage, servants or concubines, valuable gems, well-being, relief, and sometimes a passion for travel. A falcon may also point to death, arrest, hunting, chains, confinement, or binding obligations. When the falcon appears trained, compliant, and attentive, it indicates association with a powerful individual who is accompanied by a notable retinue. Watching a falcon soar and gather other falcons suggests the formation of an army. The falcon can also symbolize a clever man who asserts authority and honor while acting unjustly. Holding or receiving a falcon means the birth of a son who will rise to prominence in his era. For a politician, it signals higher advancement. If the falcon escapes, one loses position but keeps reputation. Taking some of its feathers means retaining partial authority that serves personal aims. Slaughtering a falcon signifies the death of a king or ruler. Eating its flesh denotes financial gifts from authority. Killing a falcon inside one’s home means catching a thief. If it flies away from beneath one’s chair, it indicates companionship with someone whose income is unlawful. (Also see Indian falcon, Saker)

To fall in a dream represents hopelessness or frustration, or committing an error that cannot be concealed. It also points to a decline in circumstances from favorable to unfavorable, a failed marriage, or replacing one spouse with another. Falling can further indicate a change of occupation, homeland, or faith. In some cases, falling carries an opposite implication and leads to beneficial outcomes, such as falling onto green pasture, into a righteous group, or among people gathered for a feast, which then holds a positive sign. Conversely, falling into corrupt company, a predator’s lair, or similar places signifies harmful results and may also reflect miserliness. If one dreams of falling from the roof of his house and breaking an arm or leg, it denotes inner anguish, financial hardship, the end of a friendship, or suffering oppression from local authorities.

This child will resemble his father in character and path, follow his profession or craft, spread his knowledge or traditions, and may grow to hold leadership, authority, or governance among his people.

In the realm of dreams, furnishing sustenance for one's household and kinfolk signifies coming abundance, safeguarding of offspring, and care for future generations.

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.

Conversely, some traditions suggest that bidding farewell in visions may also point to marital restoration or a positive shift in one's life situation.

Category: Earth

(Estate, Farmland, Property) Seeing cultivated land in a dream symbolizes a female presence. The growing stalks signify her offspring or possessions. If the farmland represents a commercial space, then its crops denote gains, advantages, implements, or monetary setbacks. Cultivated fields may also depict a conflict zone, with plants representing combatants, or they may stand for the temporal world, where vegetation symbolizes humanity in all stages of life. Farmland can further represent every action undertaken for spiritual benefit, illustrating that earthly existence prepares the ground for the afterlife. (Also see Crop, Estate)

Category: Types of People

A cultivator of the earth appearing in a dream signifies an individual of virtuous actions. His sowing, tilling, reaping, or any agricultural activities mirror his worldly and spiritual undertakings. Success in these dream labors foretells prosperous outcomes in waking endeavors. When associated with commerce, it suggests abundance; when linked to personal conduct, it indicates turning toward righteousness. Witnessing a farmer planting seeds only to bury the sprouts with soil symbolizes ingratitude or lack of devotion.

Category: Action

Passing gas in a dream symbolizes indecent speech, hearing or uttering vile and offensive words, or becoming involved in humiliating or unpleasant matters. It may represent adversity, disgrace, foolish behavior, belittling others, lying, or using insulting language. Such a dream can also signify shocking news that disrupts people or causes a gathering to disperse, or it may allude to the sound produced by striking or humiliating someone. If one breaks wind loudly in a dream, it indicates addressing someone with harsh, crude, or hurtful words. If a person sees himself sitting among others and unintentionally passing gas, it signifies that his worries, grief, or pressure will be relieved, though in an embarrassing or distasteful manner. However, if he deliberately breaks wind in a gathering, it denotes committing an evil or shameful act and then suffering the consequences of that behavior. Passing gas without sound in a dream represents receiving sarcastic praise or mockery that matches the offensiveness of the act itself. If one breaks wind while sitting among people who are already distressed, it means their troubles will be lifted and their hardship will ease. If such people are merchants, it indicates that their goods will sell more quickly and their trade will improve. Forcing oneself to break wind in a dream signifies taking on a burden heavier than one can endure. If breaking wind is accompanied by passing gas in the dream, it may indicate success, honor, and profit gained from an important journey or business venture. Yet it can also suggest distraction, scattered interests, or loss of focus, after which the dreamer eventually returns home relieved of such burdens. To pass gas from the mouth in a dream symbolizes a slip of the tongue, careless speech, an accident, or an embarrassing mistake. It may also point to speech impairment due to illness, irritation of the gums, or a condition affecting one’s ability to speak, or it may reflect the development of bad habits that bring shame upon the dreamer in public.

Fasting in a dream symbolizes vows, promises, and offerings made to God. It also represents spiritual protection and self-restraint. Breaking one’s fast in a dream indicates illness, travel, or engaging in backbiting and harmful speech. If a person breaks an obligatory fast out of forgetfulness, it signifies receiving a pleasant gift or lawful money. In general, fasting in a dream denotes honor, elevation in rank, repentance from sins, settling debts, penitence for wrongdoing, or the birth of a son. Observing the obligatory fast of the blessed month of Ramadan in a dream signifies gaining clarity in matters of doubt, recognizing truth without distortion, and attaining correct understanding. If someone sees himself as the only person fasting in the dream, and he is illiterate, it means he will memorize the Holy Qur’an, achieve spiritual growth, and receive glad tidings. Such a dream also indicates piety and religious devotion. If the dreamer is sick, it means recovery; if heedless, it means divine guidance; and if indebted, it means he will repay what he owes. Intentionally breaking the obligatory fast of Ramadan in a dream signifies committing a grave sin and may symbolically represent killing someone. Likewise, seeing oneself killing another person in a dream may indicate deliberately breaking the obligatory fast. Observing the two months of atonement for breaking the fast of Ramadan or for other expiations in a dream signifies falling ill and then repenting sincerely to God Almighty. Deliberately breaking the Ramadan fast also represents neglecting one of the pillars of Islam. If the dreamer then acknowledges this neglect and vows to fulfill his duties, it means he will soon receive an unexpected gift. Recognizing the sanctity of Ramadan in a dream shows that the dreamer is on the straight path, while not fasting may indicate travel. Voluntary fasting in a dream signifies protection from enemies. If a sick person sees himself fasting, it may indicate death, silence, celebration, or recovery, and it also reflects sincerity of faith and truthfulness in word and deed. Seeing large groups of people fasting in a dream may point to famine. Eating during fasting hours indicates committing a sin, falling into debt, or becoming ill. Fasting Ramadan also symbolizes safety, protection from harm, and repentance. Fasting the six days following the festival that ends Ramadan signifies completing one’s prayers, giving charity, or regretting past faults. Fasting Mondays and Thursdays represents strengthening family ties. Fasting the three white days of each lunar month signifies gradual repayment of debts, teaching proper recitation of the Qur’an, or spreading beneficial knowledge. Fasting the tenth day of Muharram indicates asceticism, piety, renunciation of worldly matters, or performing the pilgrimage. Fasting on the day pilgrims stand at Mount Arafat signifies acceptance of charity. Fasting the last ten days of Zul-Hijjah indicates a blessed end to one’s life, righteousness, or fulfillment of a promise. Fasting the day of Ashura represents good deeds, trials followed by deliverance, living to witness another religious festival, or, if one’s wife is pregnant, the birth of a blessed and righteous son. Fasting during the month of Rajab signifies service to people in authority, being assigned work abroad, or undertaking a short journey. Fasting an extra day out of doubt regarding religious duty indicates sin, negligence, or lack of certainty in devotion. Making up missed Ramadan fasts for valid reasons signifies the release of a prisoner or repentance of a sinner. Observing a vowed fast for a specific purpose signifies attaining one’s goal, joy, and happiness. A perpetual vowed fast indicates bearing a heavy responsibility, following innovation, living in isolation, or practicing silence, for fasting in a dream also symbolizes restraint of speech. Such a fast represents piety and devotion, but for a sinner, it may indicate failure to achieve his aim. Paying due charity after completing a fast signifies recovery from illness. Fasting for display or show indicates that the dreamer will attain what he desires. (Also see Ashura, Feast of Breaking the Fast)

Dreaming of possessing a fat tail resembling that of a sheep indicates one's sustenance will derive from the earnings of one's children. Consuming the fat from a lawful animal (such as sheep or cattle) in a vision signifies financial gains or acquiring a substantial enterprise. Partaking of fat from an impermissible creature (predators, scavengers, etc.) denotes income from illicit sources, engaging in immoral relations, abandoning faith, or encouraging prohibited activities. Applying fat as a medicinal treatment suggests convalescence from sickness. Fat in dreams additionally represents celebration, contentment, or merriment. Broadly, it may symbolize pure earnings or clear profits where nothing goes to waste.

Category: Types of People

Seeing oneself unusually fat in a dream signifies an increase in wealth, abundance, and material prosperity, as well as expansion in one’s worldly means.

In general, being fat in a dream symbolizes respect, dignity, and honor, as well as strong faith and firm religious conviction. It may also denote distinction among people, prominence, or attaining fame and recognition. (Also see Skin)

Seeing one’s father in a dream signifies fulfillment of goals and the attainment of what the dreamer seeks. Dreams in which parents, grandparents, or close relatives appear are among the most beneficial and reassuring visions, as they carry meanings of support, blessing, and guidance. If a person who is in need of help sees his father in a dream, it indicates that assistance will reach him from unexpected and unseen sources. If the dreamer is waiting for someone to return from a journey and sees his father in the dream, it foretells the safe and imminent arrival of that person. If the dreamer is ill, seeing his father signifies recovery and restoration of health. If one sees that his father is granted a residence surrounded by high and secure fences, it means that the dreamer will inherit his father’s responsibilities, continue his work, and faithfully manage what his father has left behind in this world.

Seeing a father-in-law in a dream symbolizes strength, support, and stability. For someone who does not actually have in-laws, such a vision represents inner strength, peace of mind, and tranquility.

Experiencing fear in a dream carries an opposite indication. It points to tranquility and sincere repentance in waking life. Seeing oneself frightened and fleeing from fear means gaining dominance and prevailing. If one dreams of confronting fear as if preparing to fight it, this signifies participation in warfare. Should a person see himself afraid and hear a voice saying, “Do not fear, you will not die, nor will you endure this life,” it suggests the possibility of losing eyesight. Seeing oneself as someone who fears God indicates that worldly anxieties will fade, and true piety and constant remembrance of the Lord will grow. The figure or thing that causes fear symbolizes harm and repulsion. Feeling scared in a dream reflects happiness when awake. Fear may also denote wrongdoing, moral corruption, or suffering the outcomes of past misdeeds. If one dies from fear in a dream, it shows failure to give people their due rights, especially if the fear is of another person or of one’s own unjust actions. (Also see Running away, Take a flight)

(Eid al-Fitr, Lesser Bairam, 1st of Shawwal) Seeing or witnessing the feast that marks the end of the fast of Ramadan in a dream symbolizes relief, renewal, and the return of happiness after hardship. It signifies the lifting of sorrow, the removal of stress and depression, and the restoration of ease and balance in one’s life. Such a dream indicates acceptance of prayers, sincere repentance from sins, and divine forgiveness. It may also point to recovering losses, finding something that was lost, attaining prosperity and comfort, and enjoying lawful spending. Exchanging gifts and sharing joy in the dream further represents harmony, generosity, blessings, and glad tidings for the dreamer and those around him. (Also see Feast of Immolation)

Overall, this dream represents sacrifice accepted by God, spiritual renewal, and a turning point toward ease, mercy, and lasting relief. (Also see Feast of Breaking the Fast, Ram, Sacrifice)

Feathers in a dream carry varied meanings and may symbolize harm or wrongdoing, yet they can also represent majesty, beauty, dignity, and inner strength. In many cases, feathers signify the household of a righteous and devout person, reflecting piety and protection. Seeing wings in a dream generally relates to movement, power, and support. If one sees himself flying with wings, it indicates travel or transition from one state to another. Wings may also represent one’s children, dependents, or sources of strength. If the wings appear full of feathers, this signifies prosperity, honor, authority, and expansion in wealth or influence. Flying with another person’s wings means receiving assistance, backing, or support from someone else, which is why it is said that a person “flies with another’s wings” when aided by others. Having wings but not using them to fly represents the acquisition of worldly possessions or wealth without undertaking major change. A broken wing in a dream signifies severe illness that may afflict one’s son. Experiencing intense pain from having one’s wings torn away suggests the loss or death of a child. A wing that prevents flight symbolizes a lasting wound, obstacle, or scar in one’s life that hinders progress. It may also represent divine punishment or the consequences of one’s sins, slowing advancement and restricting freedom.

Category: Human Body

((Defecation, Excretion, Human waste) Feces in a dream generally symbolize money, material gain, or what a person earns and disposes of. Excreting solid waste indicates spending large sums of money, particularly on health care or bodily needs. Having diarrhea or defecating openly in public warns of exposing oneself to disgrace, scandal, or the utterance of obscene and improper words. Excreting involuntarily, then cleaning oneself and carrying what was excreted, signifies lawful earnings and financial gain. Feces may also symbolize honey, indicating wealth that comes easily. Defecating in one’s bed signifies separation or divorce from one’s wife. Walking on feces represents distress, grief, or depression, while leaving the bathroom after cleansing oneself signifies relief from hardship and deliverance from troubles. Falling into a sewer or toilet bowl denotes imprisonment or severe restriction. Soiling one’s clothes or pants with feces symbolizes falling into sin, humiliation, foul speech, or disgraceful behavior. Feces may also represent money, hidden secrets, travel, disputes, recovery from illness, disturbing thoughts, inner whisperings, temptation, or entrusted wealth. The foul smell of feces symbolizes a fine, excess in duty, or, for a pregnant woman, a miscarriage. Smearing one’s clothes with another person’s feces indicates borrowing money from him or remaining indebted to his favor for a long time. Feces can also point to earnings obtained from an unjust or despicable person. Excreting in a dream may signify releasing worries, removing burdens, or relieving pressure. If one defecates in an ablution area, it indicates that his spending or actions are driven by desire, showing off, or love of reputation. Defecating in an unknown place signifies deeds that go unrecognized and unrewarded. Entering a bathroom represents settling debts, dispelling worries, or paying unavoidable financial obligations, such as child support. Defecating inside a garment in the wilderness rather than openly symbolizes committing a sin and bearing its consequences for a time. Excreting outdoors and covering the waste with soil signifies concealing money. Defecating publicly in a marketplace represents divine displeasure and the curse of angels. Throwing feces at someone indicates provoking conflict, opposing him unjustly, or causing him harm, with consequences that may return to the aggressor. Standing in sewers and searching through filth with a stick signifies becoming a judge or authority figure who may be accused of corruption or misuse of funds. Seeing human excrement also denotes stagnation, obstruction of affairs, or facing severe and complicated hardships. Soiling oneself with others’ feces may signify illness or fear, though for one whose actions are already corrupt, it may paradoxically indicate material benefit. (Also see Impurity)

Category: Feelings

Feebleness in a dream paradoxically symbolizes strength, resilience, and inner endurance. However, if a person sees himself debilitated, frail, or excessively emaciated, it signifies weakness in faith, neglect of religious duties, or failure to uphold spiritual obligations.

Category: Feelings

Receiving or offering felicitations in a dream often carries a meaning opposite to its outward appearance and may signify condolences or news associated with loss or sorrow.

It may reflect a transition from hardship to security, even if accompanied by mixed emotions.

Category: Action

Committing a felony or falsely accusing an innocent person in a dream signifies falling into danger, trial, or serious trouble. It warns of peril, moral accountability, or consequences resulting from injustice. In some cases, however, such a dream may also indicate achieving one’s objectives through risky or questionable means. If a person sees himself injuring or killing an animal that is forbidden to kill, it signifies incurring a penalty, fine, or loss equal to the value of what was destroyed, and serves as a warning against transgression and unlawful acts.

Experiencing fever in a dream signifies settling outstanding obligations, as physical fever serves to expiate transgressions. This vision may also indicate impending danger or a looming threat. Observing a known person afflicted by fever suggests becoming entangled in affairs that could compromise one's religious devotion. Fever may further symbolize wearing the garments of a respected figure. It acts as a herald from the angel of death, offering warning—urging repentance and correction of one's spiritual state before the final encounter. Shivering from fever reflects disregard and disrespect toward religious observances. Dreaming of one's own death, washing, and shrouding for burial points to persistent sinfulness and heedlessness of consequences—a warning typically granted only to the defiant transgressor who receives such mercy. Fever could also represent entering a heated bath or steam room and enduring discomfort, fatigue, and thirst therein. (Also see Bathhouse)

Category: Human Body

A shivering chill brought on by fever in a dream denotes a woman possessing authority who influences others, and from whose assistance or through whose means one derives income. Any developments arising from this feverish chill in the vision correspond to her portion in waking life. (Also see Fever)

A fig tree symbolizes bountiful harvests or growth in progeny for the dreamer who consumes its fruit, or it may represent a prosperous individual who serves his community.

Fig leaves in visions signify anxiety, mourning, and melancholy. Eating a fig leaf portends grief and hardship. Observing black figs in season suggests ease, while white figs carry more favorable meaning. Consuming figs out of season indicates envy. Alternatively, figs can represent sorrow, recalling the final days of Adam and Eve during their original dwelling in paradise. (Also see Fig tree)

Fighting in a dream generally symbolizes deception, betrayal, manipulation, or being misled, as well as conflict arising from falsehood or trickery. It may also reflect widespread turmoil such as inflation, rising prices, epidemics, shortages of food, long queues, social unrest, hardship, or intense stress. Such dreams often point to internal or external struggles that disturb peace and stability. If a soldier sees himself engaged in battle in a dream, it signifies benefit, honor, and success, as well as a rewarding outcome for his efforts. Fighting against unjust or oppressive people in a dream represents victory over wrongdoing, standing up for truth, fulfilling one’s duties toward one’s parents, or showing protection and loyalty toward one’s spouse. Fighting in the streets symbolizes aligning oneself with heedless or misguided people, or deviating from the straight path. If one sees himself wrestled to the ground in a dream, it indicates loss of wealth or resources. However, paradoxically, the one who is defeated in the dream may ultimately prevail in waking life, while the apparent winner in the dream may suffer loss or failure. If the fight has witnesses, or if the winner is better prepared or fighting for survival or sustenance—such as a struggle between a human and a beast—then the dream’s outcome may reflect the real outcome in wakefulness. If two friends are seen wrestling, the one who loses in the dream will hold higher rank, respect, or advantage in real life. Wrestling in a dream may also indicate illness that affects the loser, or consequences following a sickness. Battling a wild beast and killing it in a dream signifies relief from hardships, overcoming trials, and the removal of sorrow and distress. If one reaches the brink of death during a fight in the dream, it foretells triumph over enemies and decisive victory after severe struggle. (Also see Disbelief, Killing, War, Wrestling)

When someone in a position of authority sees himself shortened, it signifies loss of office, inability to judge fairly, or involvement in political conflict.

Fingers assist with material needs or one's profession and further spiritual benefit by discerning and indicating truth from falsehood. Generally, fingers in dreams symbolize offspring, spouse, parents, finances, possessions, prosperity, or vocation. Healthy or increased fingers signify expansion, whereas malformed fingers denote the contrary. The five fingers may represent the five daily ritual prayers. In this context, fingernails symbolize voluntary supplementary prayers. If fingers denote wealth, then nails represent obligatory charity. Should they signify an armed force, nails correspond to their armaments. Fingers may also denote periods of time—days, months, or years.

Category: Fire

Fire in a dream symbolizes power, authority, and might, and it may also represent love, passion, and intense emotion. When fire touches an object during its manufacture or cooking, it signifies disputes, arguments, or conflicts related to that matter. Fire can carry multiple meanings, including glad tidings, warnings, war, punishment, authority, imprisonment, loss, sin, or divine blessing, depending on its form and context. Seeing a fierce, blazing fire with sparks flying, roaring loudly, and raging through forests indicates rebellion, civil unrest, widespread disorder, or a devastating calamity in which many people may perish. If fire burns within one’s heart, it symbolizes love, longing, or deep sorrow caused by separation from a beloved. Seeing two burning bushes attempting to consume one another represents two opposing armies at war. If neither is destroyed, it signifies trials and adversities affecting that place. The fire closer to water is more likely to retreat or submit, and if water extinguishes it, the water itself may weaken and be consumed. Dense black smoke signals greater danger and more severe suffering. Kindling a fire at night to guide people on their way signifies acquiring knowledge and using it to guide, teach, and benefit others. Lighting a fire on the road during daylight signifies innovation, misguidance, and leading others astray. Fire seen during the day symbolizes war and adversity, while fire at night indicates guidance and peace. Worshiping fire in a dream denotes a love for conflict or succumbing to satanic temptations. Warming oneself by a fire in cold weather signifies wealth and prosperity. Eating fire indicates consuming unlawful wealth, such as the property of orphans, or earning money through forbidden means. Being condemned to die in fire signifies imprisonment. Entering hellfire and emerging from it symbolizes eventual salvation and entry into Paradise.

Making a fool of oneself sincerely or unknowingly signifies ignorance, lack of wisdom, or acting without proper understanding. Playing silly or behaving foolishly in front of people indicates spiritual loss, diminished dignity, or engaging in actions that reduce one’s respect and moral standing.

Feet in a dream symbolize a person's upright character and stability, as they enable one to stand firm, so any event affecting the feet mirrors impacts on one's finances, career, efforts, employer, or responsibilities. Feet directed toward the sky may indicate the loss of a child, while feet turning green suggest commercial setbacks. Engaging in repulsive sexual acts with one's feet foretells chasing forbidden sexual relations. Going barefoot signifies hardship, struggles, and exhaustion. Consuming another person's foot implies forming a close friendship, gaining their advocacy, achieving success through the connection, satisfying desires, obtaining travel advantages, or if qualified, leading needy people or directing sailors to their haul—for the poor this means greater benevolence to others than for the wealthy. For a rich individual, eating another's foot points to ailment, frailty, or loss of sight, while for wrongdoers it denotes incarceration, grief, and accusation. A foot becoming stone indicates loss of its function, stepping over a monarch or leader means treading on a coin bearing that ruler's image. Foot amputation suggests losing half one's fortune, both feet amputated implies total loss of wealth or imminent death. Feet also stand for parents or national leaders, a fractured foot advises staying away from authorities temporarily, fleeing the city for safety, and praying for protection—for the ill, a broken foot may signal approaching death. One foot longer than the other promises profitable travel or necessary assistance en route—for the affluent it warns of illness, for the impoverished having four legs means journeying and aid in reaching objectives, for the rich it could indicate sickness or extended lifespan.

Seeing a woman’s forearms uncovered in a dream signifies an attachment to worldly rank, status, adornment, or the pursuit of recognition and social elevation.

Seeing the forehead in a dream symbolizes a person’s honor, reputation, dignity, and social standing, as well as his outward reflection of inner character. If the forehead appears blemished, wounded, or fractured, it signifies humiliation, loss of respect, or a decline in authority and influence. Seeing a growth on one’s forehead indicates the birth of a son who will rise to leadership, prominence, and honor in his life. If the forehead appears to be made of stone, iron, copper, or another solid substance, it denotes firmness, strength, and beneficial effects for those in authority, especially policemen or people of power, while for most others it indicates hardness of character that causes them to be disliked or despised by people. A naturally broad and well-proportioned forehead represents good character, sound judgment, and noble traits, whereas a narrow or tight forehead signifies the opposite. If one sees his forehead becoming broader than normal, it points to deterioration of character, such as turning from intelligence to stupidity, from knowledge to ignorance, or from generosity to stinginess. Seeing the forehead turn black signifies neglecting or refusing to pay the obligatory alms, while seeing it bright and radiant reflects compassion, concern for others, and moral integrity. The forehead also represents one of the seven points of prostration in prayer, and any change, growth, or transformation in it may indicate an increase or decrease in devotion, humility, and consistency in worship.

Seeing a forest, jungle, or dense woods in a dream signifies loneliness, fear, estrangement, and entering an environment filled with uncertainty, danger, or moral confusion, and it may also symbolize places of immorality, corruption, or sinful behavior where right and wrong are obscured. A jungle in a dream represents people whose company brings little benefit, among whom there may be intruders, deceivers, or hidden enemies, just as tangled plants grow over one another and conceal hunters waiting to ambush their prey. If the forest or jungle is owned by someone in the dream, it indicates enemies or adversaries that the dreamer will be compelled to confront or struggle against. Eating wild plants in the wilderness symbolizes earnings obtained through hardship, patience, and strenuous effort. Wild plants may also represent a person whose goodness and sincerity are concealed, whose outward appearance may seem rough or unrefined, yet whose inner nature and heart are better and purer than what is visible to others.

A fountain situated appropriately or as an ornament in a courtyard or garden represents honor, prestige, alleviation of concerns or misfortunes, receiving glad tidings, listening to pleasing music, wasteful expenditure, scattering of one's focus, dissolving an assembly, or adding and subtracting if seen near a bookkeeper.

A fountain can also symbolize a beautiful, wealthy, and noble woman. If no water flows from it, it represents a poor or infertile woman. (Also see Fountainhead, Spring)

Category: Water

A fountainhead appearing in a dream signifies blessings, divine favor, abundance, and achieving one’s aims. Seeing numerous springs bursting forth inside one’s home, when the dreamer lacks discretion, points to a calamity that will overwhelm him and his family with grief and tears. Performing ritual ablution from a fountainhead indicates receiving lawful earnings. Discovering a spring denotes prosperity. If water erupts within the house or beneath its walls, it signals a misfortune caused by a woman, a brother, or a brother-in-law. When the water flows into the street, it means the adversity will depart and peace will return. Clear and pure water represents sadness accompanied by physical strength and good health, whereas murky water is disliked. Owning a flowing stream symbolizes one’s livelihood, business, occupation, or lasting good deeds that continue to benefit after death, such as righteous offspring, a school, mosque, road, book of knowledge, or charitable endowment. Overflowing waters that flood one’s property signify sorrow, weeping, and distress, and the same applies to drinking from it. Multiple springs gushing forth indicate prosperity gained through corruption. A spring in a valley brings blessings to many, especially the sick and needy, while a dried well signifies the opposite. For a distressed person, seeing a spring means relief, repayment of debts, healing, or repentance. A spring of sweet water denotes collecting profits or rents. A rivulet carrying pure water to one’s house represents profit, ease of living, and bestowed blessings. (Also see Rivulet, Spring)

Being accused of fraud in the dream, when supported by a truthful and reliable witness, indicates an increase in income, unexpected financial benefit, or the clarification of one’s affairs leading to advantage. However, if the dream’s atmosphere suggests deceit, wrongdoing, or moral corruption, then such a vision points to true bankruptcy, decline in character, misuse of speech, obscenity, moral contamination, loss of trustworthiness, and the erosion of personal integrity, warning the dreamer against dishonesty and unethical conduct that may bring lasting harm. (Also see Bankruptcy)

Seeing freckles, blotches, or speckles in a dream symbolizes offenses, crimes, or sins committed deliberately in pursuit of wealth or material gain, reflecting moral compromise driven by greed or desire for profit.

The dream serves as a warning that money acquired in this manner leaves visible traces of wrongdoing and brings accountability rather than true blessing.

Category: Food

(Damp, Food, Humid, Produce, Ripe, Tender) Fresh vegetables or fruits appearing in their proper season in a dream denote a civic appointment in a busy settlement or modest town.

Seeing or recognizing Friday, the blessed day of Jumuʿah when believers gather for congregational prayer, in a dream signifies divine blessings, mercy, and relief, the recovery of lost property, compensation for past losses, and a positive shift in financial circumstances from hardship to ease. Witnessing people gathered for the Friday prayer at the grand mosque while one remains at home or in a shop, hearing the call to prayer or parts of the sermon, or sensing that people are leaving the mosque afterward indicates a loss of rank, influence, or social standing in that place. Joining the congregational Friday prayer in a dream signifies protection, honor, respect, and acceptance among people, and it may also indicate undertaking a pleasant journey that brings expected financial gain. Participating in Jumuʿah prayers is a sign of joy, fulfillment, and long life, allowing one to witness major religious gatherings such as the festival prayers of the end of Ramadan or the pilgrimage season. The Friday congregational prayer also symbolizes the pilgrimage of those who lack means, the settling of debts, improvement in livelihood, and the easing of financial strain, as well as reunion with a dear friend or loved one after long separation. If one merely assumes or thinks it is Friday in the dream without clarity, the interpretation leans toward a less favorable meaning, suggesting missed opportunities, confusion, or diminished benefit rather than blessing.

Seeing fruit, whether fresh or dried, in a dream generally symbolizes blessings, provision, knowledge, and wealth, with its meaning shaped by taste, condition, season, and manner of consumption. Sweet-tasting fruit represents lawful blessings, beneficial knowledge, and permissible earnings, while sour fruit carries the same meaning if it agrees with the dreamer’s taste; however, if its sourness is unpleasant, it signifies unlawful gain or the worsening of an illness. Eating or drinking products derived from fruit points to debts, obligations, or facing hardships and trials while living or traveling in a foreign land. Seeing one’s favorite fruit indicates profits earned through personal effort and labor, with the reward corresponding to the amount of exertion made. Large fruits represent wealth that still carries unpaid obligations, such as due alms, while fruits without seeds or husks symbolize clear success, purity of outcome, and lawful earnings. Eating fruits out of their season signifies unexpected prosperity, comfort, and ease. Fruits growing or gathered in bunches represent love, harmony, unity, and strong bonds. Imported fruits symbolize matters connected to their land of origin.

Certain fruits carry specific meanings, as grapes symbolize wine and watermelon represents intoxicating drinks derived from its juice. Picking up a fallen fruit indicates instigating conflict against a righteous person.

Encountering a fruit salesman may also signify listening to valuable knowledge, a meaningful lecture, a moving sermon, or receiving an important official announcement delivered by an appointed messenger. The vision can further indicate marriage, the birth of children, swift and lawful earnings, successful undertakings, and efforts that yield beneficial and rewarding outcomes. (Also see Fruit)

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.

Leading the funeral prayer and making excessive or exaggerated invocations on behalf of the deceased signifies being appointed by a hypocritical ruler to manage a portion of his affairs, indicating authority mixed with moral compromise. Invoking blessings upon the deceased indicates divine forgiveness granted to him by God Almighty. Sitting among people who are praying for the dead signifies attending a funeral or participating in collective remembrance of death. Performing funeral prayers in general also symbolizes interceding on behalf of a sinner, seeking mercy, forgiveness, and relief from punishment for those burdened by wrongdoing.

Donning a coat of fur during winter in a vision denotes advantages and gains, as chilliness in dreams often represents want. If seen in summer, it signifies benefits that come accompanied by illness, anxiety, and hardship. Fur from sable, squirrel, or tiger symbolizes a person lacking wisdom and fairness. Sable fur further implies authority, impiety, and corruption. Some interpretations hold that squirrel fur indicates arrogance, display, elevated status, or physical beauty, yet devoid of spiritual or ethical substance. Wearing a fur coat reversed signifies flaunting one's riches with excessive showiness. Mending a fur garment foretells the onset of a sudden malady. Fox fur represents a person who is treacherous, cunning, and false. The skin of a sheep denotes an individual of noble character, strength, and who is difficult to overcome. (Also see Furrier)

A brick kiln signifies oppression, injustice, tyranny, or falling into polytheistic tendencies and deviation from truth.
