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.

In a dream, a bouquet of fresh garden herbs represents a man enduring deep sorrow, distress, or emotional tribulation that weighs heavily yet may lead to spiritual purification or resilience. Gathering a mixed bunch of various herbs from one's own garden foretells troubles, conflicts, or annoyances arising from female relatives or women in the household, such as disputes or emotional upheavals testing patience and family bonds. If the bunch consists of fresh sprouts, it warns of caution against potential evil mishaps, accidents, or unforeseen calamities that could be averted through vigilance and supplication. Dry sprouts, however, signify recovering money or financial gains that salvage a poor investment, turning previous losses into profitable returns or providing compensation for failed ventures, urging the dreamer to interpret according to context while seeking protection from harm and expressing thanks for recoveries or provisions from the earth.

Garlic in a dream represents pain, hardship, and emotional or spiritual distress, often pointing to unpleasant circumstances or burdens that weigh heavily on the dreamer.

For a sick person, eating fresh garlic in a dream may carry benefit, healing, or recovery, as it points to medicine and relief rather than sin. Gathering garlic from the fields signifies enduring harm, grief, or distress that arises from one’s own family or close relatives, suggesting conflicts, responsibilities, or suffering caused by those who are nearest and most familiar.

Destroying garments brings glad tidings, unless one is incarcerated, poor, or in debt.

In a dream, grass signifies religious consciousness, goodness, and divine blessing. Seeing grass sprouting in the palm of one’s hand indicates discovering one’s wife in a hidden affair and finding her in the presence of another man. If grass grows over one’s hand, it foretells imminent death and grass growing upon his grave. Grass appearing in an unsuitable place, such as inside a house or a mosque, points to a wedding. When grass grows over a person without covering the eyes or ears, it denotes prosperity. Grass growing on people’s hands or floating upon water signals an abundant harvest and widespread prosperity. If weeds appear alongside it, they indicate harmful effects. For a sick person, such a vision means his death is near. Grass growing over the stomach signifies death or burial. Grass covering the entire body except the head represents wealth and abundance, while grass covering the eyes and ears shows heedlessness and loss of religious benefit. The same meaning applies to feathers growing over the body. Poisonous weeds growing over the body indicate illness or death. Since grass feeds cattle and cattle symbolize wealth, gathering or eating grass means prosperity. If an ascetic eats grass in a dream, it shows a return to worldly desires and deception by them. Wild grass represents unlawful earnings and a miserable livelihood. Cutting and selling grass means relief from hardship, or it may symbolize a police officer or a tax collector.

A grave in a dream symbolizes a prison, just as a prison may represent a grave. Living inside a grave means imprisonment. Building a grave signifies building a house, while entering a grave without witnessing a funeral indicates purchasing a home. Digging a grave points to marriage achieved through deception. Standing over a grave means committing sin. If one digs a grave and finds it standing above ground without walls, it represents the abode of the Hereafter; entering it means one’s worldly life has ended, while not entering it carries no consequence. A known grave confirms truth and inevitable outcomes, whereas an unknown grave represents a hypocrite. Building a tomb on the roof of one’s house signifies long life. Visiting graves means visiting prisoners. Rain falling upon graves denotes divine mercy upon the deceased. Graves may also symbolize travel, confusion, a wife, or imprisonment. Filling a grave with soil means longevity and good health. Being buried alive indicates calamity, restriction, or incarceration, and being buried alive while shrouded may also mean marriage. Exhuming a grave means pursuing the deceased person’s occupation; if he was a scholar, it signifies seeking his knowledge, and if wealthy, it means gaining wealth or inheritance. Seeing the dead person alive in his grave means unlawful earnings, whereas seeking knowledge from a deceased scholar whose grave remains closed means true wisdom. A stone tomb or sarcophagus signifies profit, captives of war, spoils, or exposing secrets. (Also see Burial, Cemetery, Exhume, Sarcophagus, Shrine, Tower)

In a dream, grease signifies distress or depression weighing upon the dreamer. Smearing excessive grease on one's hair that overflows onto the face indicates impending adversities, heavy burdens, and a deep, painful depression that may persist. A moderate amount of grease, however, represents personal beautification, adornment, or care for one's appearance in an acceptable manner. Grease with a foul smell points to insincere, sarcastic praises matching the intensity of its stench, or association with a prostitute or an arrogant, insolent individual. Rubbing oneself with mercury or a fragrant musk-mixed cream foretells receiving genuine favorable praise and building a respectable reputation. Lubricating another person's head symbolizes malicious intent or evil scheming, warranting caution toward the one applying it. Possessing a jar of grease or cream for applying to oneself or others denotes excessive fawning, flattery, adulation, hypocrisy, falsehood, or engaging in backbiting and slander. Having one's own face smeared with grease suggests a life devoted to abstinence, rigorous religious fasting, and spiritual discipline. Applying cream as a medicinal treatment or remedy to alleviate pain means self-correction from errors, repentance, or wisely saving money for significant commitments such as a bridal dower or down payment on a valuable purchase.

Greed in a dream symbolizes falling into sin and moral corruption, reflecting excessive attachment to worldly possessions, desires, or selfish gain. It points to covetousness, miserliness, and an inability to be content with what is lawful and sufficient, leading the dreamer toward wrongdoing and injustice.

Wearing a green garment signifies righteousness, sincere religious observance, diligence in worship, and steadfast devotion, reflecting a heart inclined toward obedience and spiritual growth. Green silk garments represent the attire of the people of Paradise and indicate divine favor and eternal reward. Seeing a deceased person dressed in green shows that he or she is in a good and honored state, enjoying the reward of righteous deeds performed in worldly life, and it may also indicate that the dreamer will inherit something from that person. With regard to the deceased, such a vision may further signify that he left this world in a state of martyrdom or special divine acceptance. In general, all green clothing in a dream points to benefit, prosperity, and goodness, while the colour green itself also symbolizes submission to the will of God, inner peace, and harmony with divine decree.

Offering greetings to someone in a dream signifies gaining benefit or advantage from that person. Greeting an adversary points to hostility or the outbreak of conflict between them. Being greeted by an unknown elderly man means protection from divine punishment for one’s sins, while a known old man signifies prosperity. For a farmer, it indicates purchasing fruit tree saplings. Greetings from an unknown young person mean escaping harm from an enemy. For someone seeking marriage, greetings denote acceptance, whereas greeting an unknown person who gives no reply signals refusal. When two merchants greet each other, it shows success in trade, but lack of response indicates dissolution of partnership. If an enemy greets one and presents a gift, it means he seeks reconciliation and is ready to compensate. Being greeted with unfamiliar words and replying normally signifies deliverance from a deadly accident with reward, while refusing or failing to reply brings the opposite. Shaking hands and embracing someone means receiving glad tidings, kind words, or knowledge to be passed on, and doing so with an enemy signifies the end of disputes. Seeing angels greeting the dreamer means growth in insight. Greetings symbolize humility, submission, or the need for a response regarding shared interests. Speaking before greeting, failing to reply, or replying only by gesture denotes innovation. Concluding prayers with the greetings of peace means following the right path, completing tasks, resignation or appointment, dismissal, travel, and profit. Ending prayers by greeting first to the left then to the right indicates following wrongdoing and innovation. Ending prayers without the traditional greetings means prioritizing profit over safeguarding one’s capital. (Also see Prayers)

Hunting or killing it points to deceiving another person, while selling it signifies oppressing someone. Capturing a griffin without trickery shows bravery and youthful courage.

(Bail, Collateral, Escrow, Security, Surety) Seeing a guarantee in a dream signifies undertaking an obligation or pledging responsibility for a matter. When the guarantee involves something virtuous—such as charity, safe passage, fulfilling a need, or rescuing someone in distress—it reflects the dreamer’s upright morals and noble disposition. If the guarantee concerns wine, intoxicants, unlawful wealth, or acts of disdain, it points to restriction, hardship, poverty, miserliness, or stinginess, since the guarantor in the dream assumes the role of a debtor and the guarantee symbolizes a penalty. If one sees himself standing as a guarantor for another, it means he will either gain beneficial knowledge from the person he guarantees or come to regret a commitment he has already made.

A gutter in a dream symbolizes a person who shows generosity and kindness at certain times, as well as channels through which matters flow and outcomes are revealed. Seeing water running through gutters without rainfall indicates corruption, moral decay, or people who spread harm and evil in that place, and each such gutter may also signify the loss of a life. Gutters can represent faithful servants or housekeepers who manage responsibilities with care and trust, and they may also point to relief from pressure, hardship, or accumulated distress. A gutter may further symbolize a reliable messenger, trustworthy emissary, or letter carrier who conveys matters safely and accurately. If blood flows through a gutter, it signifies tyranny, oppression, and bloodshed that will occur in that locality. If clear and fresh water flows through it and people benefit from it, the dream indicates prosperity, economic growth, peace, security, and tranquillity. If the water is murky, foul-smelling, or filthy, it points to widespread afflictions and diseases, such as plagues involving ulcers, tumours, or smallpox, and the spread of harm and corruption among people.
