Seeing a vagina in a dream generally symbolizes relief, release, and the easing of hardship for one who is experiencing distress, pressure, grief, or sorrow. It often signifies the fulfillment of needs and desires, the attainment of comfort, or the resolution of difficult matters. In many cases, it represents marriage, partnership, intimacy within lawful bounds, or reunion with one’s family, as well as the blessing of children. Symbolically, the vagina may also represent hidden or inward matters, such as one’s deepest secrets, concealed intentions, or matters kept private. It can signify the entrance to a house or the front door, travel and movement, or the prayer niche (miḥrāb) of a mosque, pointing to humility, devotion, and inward focus. It may further symbolize running water, warmth, an oven, a garment, a canyon, or a place of shelter and containment. In some interpretations, seeing a vagina in a dream indicates discovering a cure for an illness, finding an elixir, dispelling doubt, distinguishing truth from falsehood, attaining guidance, or heeding sincere admonition. It may also reflect relief after lawful marital relations, satisfaction, or emotional closeness. For a man, looking at a woman’s vagina in a dream can reflect his inner state: it may indicate immoral thoughts, overwhelming desires, neediness, or humiliation. Alternatively, it may signify the elevated status, dignity, or high regard that the woman holds in his perception. For a woman, seeing a man’s sexual organ in a dream symbolizes strength, determination, assertiveness, or a drive commonly attributed to masculine qualities. If a prisoner sees himself possessing a vagina in a dream, it signifies his release from imprisonment. For a person suffering from depression or anxiety, it indicates relief and emotional liberation. For someone facing legal proceedings, it means victory in court, and for one confronting an enemy, it signifies triumph over the opponent. Seeing the vagina of an elderly woman in a dream signifies loss in trade or business, decline in opportunity, or fading worldly prospects. If one sees himself re-entering the womb through a woman’s vagina, this is a grave sign indicating death and return to the origin. In negative symbolism, a vagina in a dream may represent a deceitful, predatory, or treacherous person—one who displays piety by day but reveals corruption or harm by night. It may also symbolize a shameless, insolent worker or an immoral character. In another symbolic dimension, the vagina may represent a bird’s nest. In this context, capturing a bird or looking inside a nest in a dream signifies marriage or forming a household. If a woman sees water entering her vagina in a dream, it indicates conception and pregnancy. However, if a woman’s vagina turns into iron or another metal, it signifies the loss of hope in fulfilling aspirations, desires, or essential needs, and reflects emotional or spiritual blockage.

(Blood ties, family, relatives, lineage, vessels) TVeins in a dream symbolize blood relations, family bonds, lineage, and tribal or clan affiliation. The likeness of a person’s veins is that of a tree and its branches, where the trunk represents the origin and the branches represent descendants and relatives. Thus, veins seen in a dream reflect one’s family members, with each vein corresponding to relatives according to the part of the body in which it appears. The condition, strength, and beauty of one’s veins in a dream mirror the state of one’s family. Healthy, clear, and well-formed veins indicate harmony, well-being, and sound relationships among relatives, whereas weak or disfigured veins point to discord, weakness, or trouble within the family. If a person sees one of his veins split open in a dream, it may signify the death of a relative. This vision can also indicate deception, wrongdoing, an accident, or an impending calamity. In another sense, it may symbolize family division, severed ties, or conflict among relatives. Seeing veins exposed in a dream signifies hardship, vulnerability, or difficulties affecting one’s household or close kin. The points of pulsation in the veins or arteries—particularly those near the wrist or carpal tunnel—represent one’s livelihood, occupation, and income, or they may symbolize the elderly members of the family, whose presence sustains and supports the household. If a wealthy person sees a specific quantity of blood flowing through his veins in a dream, it means he will lose an equivalent portion or percentage of his wealth. Conversely, if a poor person sees the same vision, it signifies that he will gain an equal amount of money or provision. Overall, veins in a dream serve as a powerful symbol of kinship, sustenance, continuity, and the hidden connections that bind a person to his family and means of livelihood.

Seeing Venus indicates marrying an attractive woman who is not related to the dreamer, though her beauty may become a source of temptation for many.

Seeing Venus may further point to slander or blame, pursuing such matters, forming ties with those who follow these ways, or marrying a charming foreign woman or a renowned singer. If Venus appears mingling with the moon, positioned below it, or burning, it represents one’s daughter, associating with foolish or unstable people, or listening to idle and vain speech.

Seeing vermin in a dream, or observing birds that prey on game or habitually dwell near graveyards, symbolizes moral corruption and unlawful conduct.

In a dream, a vice-regent symbolizes a person sought after for his knowledge or for mastery in his profession, and he may also represent an appointed judge or justice of the peace. He can signify someone who inherits both good and bad traits, or whose private character differs from his public image. Seeing the vice-regent of the land in a dignified form, or seeing oneself in such a state, indicates well-being in worldly life and success in the Hereafter. Seeing him dressed in inappropriate clothing reflects the dreamer’s condition, or suggests weakness in religious commitment that may improve later in life. A vice-regent or caliph also represents one who upholds the laws of religion and follows the example of God’s Prophet, peace be upon him. What he wears in the dream reflects the dreamer’s spiritual state and the increase or decline of devotion. If someone who has been promised something sees the vice-regent or caliph, it means the promise will be fulfilled and aspirations realized. Seeing him may also indicate that people from other circles are backbiting the dreamer, speaking without consent, reporting him to authorities, or that scholars are discussing and mentioning his deeds. A vice-regent or caliph can further symbolize detachment, seclusion, honesty, voluntary service, enjoining good and forbidding evil, strengthening faith and certainty, repentance, avoidance of sins, imprisonment, illness, or travel. If one sees himself granted the position of vice-regent or caliph while being unfit for it, it means trials and temptations will afflict the land, though scholars and righteous people will be spared. It may also signify humiliation and that those under his authority will rise to dominate him.

(City, Town, Suburban Area) A village in a dream often symbolizes injustice, moral corruption, or deviation from divine guidance, which may eventually lead to destruction as a consequence of people’s sins. It reflects collective behavior and the spiritual condition of its inhabitants, whether upright or corrupt. Entering a well-fortified village in a dream signifies engaging in conflict, dispute, or confrontation with another person or group. Entering a village may also indicate assuming authority over it, presiding over its people, or beginning a new occupation or responsibility. Crossing from a village into a city in a dream carries multiple meanings. It may signify rising from a humble or menial occupation to a more honorable and respected position. Conversely, it can also indicate belittling a good deed one has performed, regretting it, or misjudging goodness as something evil. In another sense, it reflects indecision, doubt, or inner confusion about one’s actions and intentions. Walking out of a village in a dream signifies escaping from evil, corruption, or harmful influences. Moving from a city into a village, however, indicates the opposite: abandoning comfort, safety, and stability to face hardship, fear, or discomfort. Moving from a village into a city represents leaving toil and hardship behind and entering ease and security. Seeing a destroyed village in a dream indicates heedlessness, moral decay, or a calamity brought upon its people due to their sins. If the village is destroyed by fire, flood, frost, locusts, or plague, it signifies suffering under the oppression of a tyrannical or unjust ruler. Symbolically, such destruction may also represent the ruin of an anthill, as villages and anthills are likened to one another in dream interpretation. Seeing a well-built, flourishing village in a dream reflects the piety, righteousness, and moral integrity of its inhabitants. Observing ancient buildings or ruins becoming inhabited again signifies repentance, spiritual renewal, and a return to obedience after sin. A village in a dream may also symbolize religious innovation, corruption, injustice, neglect of divine law, or abandonment of communal moral standards. In symbolic imagery, a village may represent an underground ant colony, while an anthill in a dream represents a village—both reflecting structured communities with shared destiny and collective consequences.

In a dream, vinegar symbolizes wealth that is lawfully earned and spent in devotion, carrying blessing within it. It may also signify long life or using one’s time efficiently in work. The dregs or sediment of vinegar represent base or unlawful money that yields little benefit and is considered inferior. Vinegar and its vessel in a dream also stand for a servant and her residence. Drinking vinegar signifies hostility within one’s household or a family dispute, though for a prisoner it denotes release from confinement. Pure and wholesome vinegar indicates income accompanied by blessings, whereas thin or spoiled vinegar points to hardship in earning a living, laboring merely to survive, or facing difficulties.

A vineyard in a dream symbolizes honor, dignity, strength, and prosperity, and this meaning extends to all fruit-bearing trees. It represents abundance, stability, and blessings that are cultivated over time. In many interpretations, a vineyard also symbolizes a wealthy, noble, or influential woman, whose resources and generosity benefit others. Cutting branches from a grapevine in a dream signifies receiving wealth or material benefit from a woman of noble standing. Accordingly, an espalier or trained grapevine represents a generous woman who gives freely and supports those connected to her. Plucking a cluster of grapes from an espalier indicates spending one’s wealth on a woman, whether through marriage, support, or generosity. However, if one sees the grapes but does not pluck them, it signifies restraint and being spared unnecessary or burdensome expenses. Seeing a grapevine during wintertime in a dream symbolizes a woman who has lost her wealth or status, though people may still believe her to be affluent or influential. This vision reflects appearances that no longer correspond to reality. A grapevine in a dream may also signify marriage, union, and emotional or financial partnership. A trellis supporting grapevines represents a beautiful, noble, and wealthy woman, and the same interpretation applies to the garden surrounding it, which reflects her household, reputation, and environment. Seeing a vineyard up close—observing its leaves, branches, and clusters of grapes—indicates material gain and spiritual benefit derived from associating with a righteous community or a group of believers. Such a vision points to shared prosperity, mutual support, and blessings that arise from belonging to a virtuous society. (Also see Wine press)

Seeing a virgin woman in a dream often signifies hardship, distress, or the onset of difficulties in one’s affairs. It may point to adversities, delays, or obstacles in business, livelihood, or personal matters, reflecting restriction, inexperience, or matters that have not yet reached maturity or fulfillment. In contrast, seeing a woman (not described as a virgin) in a dream generally represents ease, comfort, success, and the smooth flow of one’s affairs. This distinction highlights the symbolic difference between what is unopened or restrained and what is experienced, accessible, and fruitful. Thus, the vision of a virgin in a dream serves as a sign of trial, challenge, or constrained opportunity, while the appearance of a woman signifies prosperity, relief, and favorable outcomes, by the will of Allah.
