Islamic Interpretation
(Hearing, Language, Listening, Talking, Words) Speaking different languages in a dream means richness. The words of a deceased person in a dream are always true. The same goes for birds speaking in a dream, and their speech denotes glad tidings, prosperity, knowledge, and understanding. If an animal talks with someone in his dream or tells him, "I saw a dream... " then if the animal refrains from relating such a dream, it means a fight, a battle, losses, or an argument. If a dog, a panther, or a falcon speaks to someone and tells him a dream in a dream, it means glad tidings, great earnings, benefits, and joy. In general, birds talking to humans in a dream mean benefits and rising in rank. If a snake speaks gently to someone in a dream, it means that he will receive benefits from an enemy. If a beast talks to someone in a dream, it means their death. If one's head or nose talks to him in a dream, it means that whoever these two members represent in one's life (See Body) will suffer from an adversity. If a tree speaks to someone in their dream, it means benefiting from that line of thinking. A talking tree in a dream means a fight, or the end of one's exile. The speech of a tree in a dream could also mean exaltation. Whatever a baby says in a dream is true. It also could mean falling into sin. If a godly and spiritual person sees a baby talking to him in a dream, it means that he will witness wonders or a miracle, or become a witness to an unbelievable agreement.

The talk of one's limbs in a dream means trouble from one's relatives, or it could mean sinning. The speech of moving shadows in a dream means evoking jinn or evil spirits.

Any words that agree with God's revelations in a dream must be hearkened to and complied with. The opposite is also true. If a limb talks to someone in his dream, it denotes advice one will receive from a relative. Animal talk in a dream denotes leaning toward friendships and finding peace in the company of pious people, or it could mean working to earn one's livelihood.

Listening to the Holy Words of God Almighty in a dream also denotes the spread of justice and righteousness, and such a dream could represent a ruler who cares for his subjects. If a godly and pious person sees that in a dream, it means that he will renounce the world and seek the comfort and the blessings of the hereafter.
