Islamic Interpretation
Thirst in a dream signifies stagnation in trade, weakness in the property market, and difficulty selling agricultural produce. It also points to poverty, economic decline, recession, or longing for a loved one, wishing to be near him and feeling his absence. Thirst may further symbolize religious corruption. If a thirsty person searches for water but does not find any, it means deliverance from a calamity. Standing thirsty before a well or water source without being able to drink indicates failure to achieve one’s objective. Thirst can also denote moral corruption, or the need to marry in order to safeguard one’s chastity.
