If a person dreams that he is full, his wealth will come back and hislivelihood will increase. If he dreams that a man called him to a meal,he will travel, because Allah tells us about Moosa (May Allah be please with him) : “[He] said to his boyservant: ‘Bring us our morning meal;truly, we have suffered much fatigue in this, our journey.’”[Al-Kahf 18:62] If he dreams that he called him in the middle of the day, he will findrelief from his troubles. If he dreams that he ate some food and it wasdigested, that indicates that he is striving hard in his profession. Eating One’s Own Flesh This is indicative of consuming wealth that one has saved. If thedreamer dreams that he ate the flesh of someone else raw, he willbackbite about him; if it is cooked or grilled, he will consume the capitalof someone else. For women, it is indicative of lesbianism or corrupting one anotheror fighting one another. Similarly, if a person dreams that someone else ate his flesh, he isfighting him or corrupting him. If a woman eats her own flesh, she willeat from her husband’s wealth. If a person dreams that he is eating histongue, he will attain benefit by means of his tongue, or his dream mayindicate that he is keeping quiet and suppressing his anger. Feeling Despair Despair (in a dream) is indicative of joy, because Allah says: “(They were reprieved) until, when the Messengers gave uphope and thought that they were denied (by their people), thencame to them Our Help.” [Yoosuf 12:110] It may indicate that someone else will have authority over him or hiswealth or his trade.

Frowning Frowning is indicative of having more than one daughter, becauseAllah says: “And when the news of (the birth of) a female (child) isbrought to any of them, his face becomes dark, and he is filledwith inward grief!” [Al-Nahl 16:58] Stumbling Stumbling is indicative of debt. If a person dreams that his mountstumbled on the ground, he will incur debts. Nakedness This has been discussed above, when we looked at the importanceof referring to customs in dream interpretation. One of the dreaminterpreters said: If a person dreams that he took off his clothes andexposed his back, there will emerge an enemy who did not show hisenmity; rather he made a show of friendship. This is based on the Versein which Allah says: “O Children of Adam! Let not Shaytaan (Satan) deceiveyou, as he got your parents [Adam and Hawwaa’ (Eve)] out ofParadise, stripping them of their raiments, to show them theirprivate parts.” [Al-A’raaf 7:27] If he dreams that he is naked, he will be exposed; if he dreams thathe was naked in a place on his own, that indicates that his enemy isseeking out his faults but will not find a way to do so. Expulsion Expulsion is not a good sign. If a person dreams that he was expelledand shouted at by a man of virtue, he will face a big problem and hisenemy will prevail over him. Stealing The unknown thief is a symbol of the Angel of Death, because heenters the house when people are unaware, takes what he wants andleaves without anyone realising. If the thief is known, he will benefitfrom the one who is robbed in terms of wealth, knowledge or exhortation. Theft may also be indicative of acquiring wealth in a harsh manner andseeing a thief in the house may be indicative of having more children. Ihave seen both cases. Foolishness Foolishness indicates ignorance. If a person dreams that he is behavingin a foolish manner, this indicates that he is ignorant. Allah says: “But if the debtor is of poor understanding.”[Al-Baqarah 2:282] Regrets Regrets are indicative of committing sin and betrayal. We have seenabove that betrayal indicates adultery.

Imprisonment Imprisonment is indicative of humiliation and distress, becauseAllah says: “And now if he refuses to obey my order, he shall certainlybe cast into prison, and will be one of those who are disgraced.”[Yoosuf 12:32] We have discussed above the issues of detention and imprisonment. Solitary confinement in an unknown place where no voices reach isindicative of the grave.

If he dreams that he is tortured there, he will attain agreat deal of good. Heavy Burdens A heavy burden is indicative of a bad neighbour.

If he dreams after climbing up to it that hebecomes a star by which people navigate, he will become an Imam orscholar whom people follow. Coming Down After Climbing Up This is indicative of humiliation after honour, and it was said that itis indicative of worldly blessings after becoming a leader in religiousmatters, because he (peace be upon him) attained that after coming downfrom it, and honour was added to his original honour. If he dreams thathe came down from the mountain, he will find relief; or it was said thatthis situation will change and he will not get what he wants. This hasbeen discussed above in chapter 4.
