Islamic Interpretation
(Beauty, Grass, Green, Knowledge, Paradise, Wisdom) In a dream, a meadow represents easy and effortless wealth, or it may symbolize a wife who lacks restraint and discretion. Seeing a meadow also signifies receiving inner knowledge granted directly by God Almighty through spiritual inspiration, or it may point to establishing a charitable endowment. A meadow with grazing land, flowing streams, perennial plants, and blossoms represents the world, its adornments, attractions, and riches. A meadow may also indicate a place of work or business. Gazing upon and admiring a green meadow without being able to measure its vastness in a dream reflects the immensity and true nature of Islam. If a poor person sees himself walking through meadows, collecting grass, herbs, leaves, or flowers and eating them, it means prosperity. For a wealthy person, such a dream indicates an increase in riches. If an ascetic or one who has renounced worldly pleasures sees this dream, it means he may return to desiring the world or be tempted by it again. Walking between meadows signifies a business journey or a change in profession, just as walking between two markets carries the same meaning. Seeing a deceased person sitting in a meadow indicates that he is in paradise. Meadows also symbolize the world and its pleasures, or they may represent a wealthy wife. An unusual meadow that is admired only when seen and enjoyed especially when visited represents a sacred place, a house of God, a mosque, the grave of a prophet, or the resting places of the righteous. A meadow may also symbolize the Book of Revelation, the Qur’an, knowledge, wisdom, or paradise. Walking from meadows into a salt marsh or swamp means following innovations or engaging in sinful acts. Hearing the call to prayer from within a meadow signifies righteous deeds, guidance after negligence, repentance, attending congregational prayer, or joining a funeral procession.
