Islamic Interpretation
(Quicksilver) In a dream, mercury means a project or an intention that will not be brought to completion. If one sees himself giving mercury to someone, or if he holds it in his hand in a dream, it means that he fails his promises. It also means that he is disinclined in his religious practices, follows his mind and desire, or it could mean that he is a hoax, a betraying person, or a treacherous person. If he eats it in a dream, it means that one of his children will grow to be one who fails his promises.
