Seeing oneself as a groom on the night of his wedding in a dream, especially when accompanied by music, singing, or dancing, is an ominous sign.

Seeing a whale in a dream carries profound symbolic meanings. It represents a solemn oath, devotion, and places of worship associated with righteous people, such as the temple of the pious or the prayer mat of devoted worshippers. In this sense, the whale symbolizes deep submission, remembrance, and spiritual retreat. At the same time, a whale in a dream may signify hardship, inner strain, sorrow, depression, loss of rank or status, and the accumulation of anger or suppressed emotions.

Seeing the whale that swallowed the Prophet Jonah (peace be upon him) in a dream has a distinctly positive meaning. It signifies the removal of fear, the arrival of relief after distress, and prosperity for a poor person. This vision points to divine mercy, repentance, and deliverance following hardship, just as Prophet Jonah was saved after sincere supplication.

In a dream, wheat symbolizes honestly acquired wealth. Purchasing wheat signifies an increase in one's income or in the number of his offspring. Should one observe a ruler inserting a rod into a measure of grain, it foretells inflation. Sowing wheat denotes performing a righteous act to seek divine favor. Walking amid wheat fields represents serving God. If wheat is planted but barley emerges, it indicates hypocrisy. If it yields blood, it signifies profit from usurious gains. Consuming raw wheat directly from its stalk in the field denotes spiritual advancement through renunciation. Eating cooked wheat signifies facing tribulations. Gathering sheaves of wheat or placing them in a vessel predicts profits corresponding to the number collected.

Winds in a dream may also signify a leader’s army, his commands, or his helpers. Wind was among the forces placed under the command of the Prophet Solomon (peace be upon him), moving by Allah’s will, and thus it reflects delegated power and divine permission.

It may also indicate the liquidation of stagnant or unsold merchandise. However, if the wind carries a person who feels fear, oppression, or anxiety, and the wind is accompanied by dark clouds or clouds of dust, then the meaning is adverse.

Seeing wings in a dream carries meanings related to movement, support, responsibility, and one’s worldly and familial affairs. If a person sees himself flying with wings in a dream, it signifies travel, relocation, or a significant transition from one state or place to another. Wings in a dream also symbolize one’s children, as they are a source of strength, continuation, and support. If one sees his wings fully feathered and well formed, it represents prosperity, authority, dignity, or increased power and influence. Such a vision reflects growth, capability, and stability in one’s life. If a person sees himself flying with someone else’s wings in a dream, it means that he will receive help, backing, or support from another person. This reflects reliance on others and benefiting from their resources, authority, or influence. Hence the common saying among traditional interpreters: “So-and-so flew with so-and-so’s wings.” Having wings but not using them to fly in a dream signifies the accumulation of worldly wealth, material comfort, or possessions that are kept in reserve rather than actively employed. It reflects potential, resources, or means that are present but not fully utilized. A broken wing in a dream represents a severe illness that may befall one’s son or cause him great weakness. If the dreamer feels intense pain from his wings being torn from his shoulders, it may signify the death of his son, indicating profound loss and grief. A wing that exists but does not allow flight symbolizes a lasting wound, setback, or permanent scar in one’s life that hinders progress and advancement.

This vision warns against misplaced trust and the consequences of nurturing corruption. Seeing a wolf in a dream may also represent false accusations or fabricated allegations that one may direct against an innocent person.

It may also indicate money that does not endure, or a transformation from hardship to ease and friendliness. A fat woman in a dream signifies a fertile, prosperous, and fruitful year. Seeing an unknown woman in a dream is considered more favorable than seeing a woman one already knows, as she represents unforeseen good or blessings. A young woman in a dream symbolizes an enemy, while an old woman represents the worldly life itself, with its weariness, experience, and fading allure. If a man sees his wife appearing as a man in a dream, she may represent his grandfather or indicate strength, continuity, and prosperity for the family.

(Including organisms that live off others, such as parasites, insects, intestinal worms, annelids, silkworms, or similar creatures) In dreams, worms generally symbolize children—particularly daughters—or dependents who live under the care and authority of their father. This interpretation extends to all types of worms and parasites that subsist on another being, including those found in bodies or cadavers, as they represent individuals who live off someone else’s provision. Seeing tapeworms emerging from one’s backside in a dream signifies grandchildren, indicating descendants who originate from one’s own lineage. If a person sees worms coming out of his mouth, this suggests that some members of his family are secretly plotting against him. However, the dream also indicates that the dreamer is already aware of their intentions and will ultimately escape their harm—though this deliverance may come at a personal cost, such as emotional pain, loss, or sacrifice. When worms are seen coming out of the stomach, it signifies that the dreamer will separate himself from corrupt or harmful companions. As a result of this distancing, he will regain his honor, moral purity, and inner integrity. In general, worms leaving the body symbolize relief from distress, the removal of burdens, or the payment of obligatory charity (zakat), which purifies one’s wealth and soul. Worms may also represent enemies, particularly those who are weak, hidden, or dependent, yet capable of causing harm if left unchecked. A silkworm in a dream represents a customer, client, or one’s livelihood, and may symbolize the dreamer’s profession or source of income.

An injury in a vision foretells recompense money that will emerge from harm one might endure, and it shall become apparent.

Should one see his left foot bleeding from a wound, it denotes earnings from agricultural work. An injury to the back indicates profits flowing from one's offspring. If a wound bleeds in the dream, it represents an outstanding debt that must be settled, even if currently difficult. Every bleeding injury symbolizes a monetary duty. A head wound that does not bleed is an admonition to safeguard one's finances. A non-bleeding wound also signifies attaining respect from others. Should a person of authority be wounded in an accident, with flesh parted and bones exposed, he will live long enough to witness the passing of most of his kin. If an army commander sees his left hand injured, his forces will multiply. A wound to his right hand denotes an expansion of his domain. A stomach wound indicates an increase in material standing. An injury to the thigh shows the strengthening of one's tribe. Wounds on the legs signify a long life. A wounded foot denotes the consolidation of one's power and command.

Seeing oneself engaged in wrestling in a dream symbolizes conflict, rivalry, and trials in one’s waking life. If a person sees himself being thrown to the ground, it indicates a possible loss of wealth, status, or material means. Yet paradoxically, the one who appears defeated in the dream will ultimately prevail in reality, for in such dreams the apparent winner is often the true loser in wakefulness, and the apparent loser is the eventual victor. If the wrestling match occurs in the presence of a witness, this may reverse the interpretation, meaning that the winner in the dream could also be the winner in real life. The same applies if the dreamer demonstrates greater readiness, strength, or necessity, such as fighting for survival or sustenance—like the struggle between a human being and a wild beast. When two friends are seen wrestling, the one who loses in the dream will enjoy greater standing, dignity, or advantage in waking life. Wrestling in a dream may also symbolize illness or physical weakness, particularly affecting the one who loses, or it may represent the aftereffects and consequences of a sickness already endured. If a person sees himself fighting a beast and killing it, this signifies relief from hardship, the removal of distress, and the end of sorrow, anxiety, and suffering. Should the dreamer find himself reaching the point of death during the struggle, it indicates that he will overcome his enemies decisively, emerging victorious after enduring extreme hardship or danger.

A wrestling match in a dream signifies a quarrel or dispute between two parties, whether the struggle is between two men or even between a man and a lion. The position of the victor in the dream is always better than that of the defeated. If the contest is between two men, the one who initiates the challenge in the dream will be the loser in waking life. (Also see Wrestling)

(Jotting, Scribbling, Recording) Writing in a dream generally symbolizes deception, stratagems, or hidden schemes, and it often points to subtle manipulation or calculated planning. A writer seen in a dream represents a clever yet deceitful individual, someone skilled in misleading others through words or appearances. If one’s handwriting appears unclear, ugly, or illegible, it signifies repentance from dishonesty, abandoning fraud, and regret over deceiving people in the past. Writing on a scroll, parchment, or legal pad in a dream indicates that the dreamer may receive an inheritance or gain wealth from a formal or legal source. Writing in a notebook, however, symbolizes evasion, denial, or an attempt to avoid responsibility. Writing a book or a novel in a dream may signify unlawful or suspicious earnings, or it may indicate illness or physical weakness, especially if the writing is burdensome or exhausting. If one sees himself writing a book or a letter and completing it, this represents success in finishing an undertaking, achieving objectives, and bringing a planned matter to completion. If the writing remains unfinished, it means that obstacles, delays, or external interference will prevent the completion of an important project. Writing with the left hand in a dream signifies deviance, reprehensible conduct, or straying from what is right. It may also allude to immoral behavior, the birth of a child through illicit relations, or, in some interpretations, becoming a poet, since poetry may involve imaginative but misleading expression. Signing a deed, contract, or check in a dream indicates failure to honor a promise or fulfill an agreement. If the dreamer sees someone he knows drafting a contract between them, it warns that this person may deceive him, manipulate him in business, or lead him astray through false assurances. If one finds himself illiterate and unable to write in a dream, it reflects inner distress, sadness, and depression, though it also carries glad tidings that God Almighty will open a way out of hardship. If an illiterate person sees himself learning to read and write, it suggests that he will benefit from something he long feared, or that he may endure difficult trials that ultimately bring insight or gain. If a learned or educated person sees himself incapable of writing, it indicates anxiety, fear, exhaustion, and obstruction in his livelihood or affairs, signifying a temporary blockage of ability, clarity, or opportunity.

(Author, Scribe, Secretary, Letter Writer, Starling, Writing) Seeing a writer in a dream generally represents a person who is cunning, deceptive, and skilled in manipulation, someone who uses words and appearances to mislead others or conceal the truth. Writing in this context symbolizes craftiness and calculated behavior, rather than sincerity. If a writer sees himself as illiterate or unable to write in a dream, it indicates that he may abandon his tricks and deceptions, or it may signify mental confusion, loss of judgment, or a decline in religious commitment and spiritual strength. Such a vision may also point to poverty or humiliation following misuse of intellect or speech. If a person sees himself illiterate, then suddenly finds himself becoming a writer, it means that he will develop schemes and tricks, and may outwit or deceive an adversary or rival through clever but questionable means. Discovering oneself to be a writer in a dream may also signify placing the comfort and needs of others above one’s own. As a consequence, the dreamer may become weary, drained, and ultimately realize that his efforts brought little personal benefit. If a sick person sees this dream, it may portend the end of his life, as excessive exhaustion here symbolizes the exhaustion of life itself. If a worker or employee sees himself as a writer in a dream, it can indicate honesty, trustworthiness, and loyalty in fulfilling his duties. It may also foretell promotion, recognition, or an increase in wages, especially if the writing appears orderly and purposeful. A writer in a dream may further symbolize professions that require precision, patience, and continuity, such as a tailor, farmer, or locomotive engineer, all of whom work methodically and depend on careful planning and execution. Seeing a scribe, secretary, or the record-keeper of rulers or people in authority signifies that the dreamer may attain a similar position, rise in rank and status, or experience improvement in livelihood, influence, and social standing.
