Houses in Dream Islam

Detailed book entry

If a person dreams that he builds a house, then something good willhappen to him that befits him, as we stated above when discussing goodplaces. For a poor person it signifies clothing or a garment. One of them said: A house with boundaries and facilities – if aperson dreams that it is his, he will attain prominence and will find joyif he is in a state of grief; he will become independent of means if heis poor and he will repent if he is a sinner. If the house is spacious, thatis indicative of provision, but if it is small that is indicative of reducedprovision. An unknown house represents a graveyard. If a person dreams thathe enters an unknown house and does not come out of it, he will die;if he does come out of it, he will almost die then he will recover. Someof them added another condition for it to signify the grave, which is ifit is isolated from other houses. In my view this is more appropriate. Ahouse signifies a woman and if it is dark, she will have a bad attitude. Ifa woman sees a house in her dream it refers to a husband. If the house ismade of iron, this indicates that his wife is going to stay with him. If a person dreams that he enters the house in which water has beensprinkled, he will have some trouble with his wife to the extent to whichit got wet. If he is caused to enter a house and is locked in, he will avoidsin because Allah says: “And she closed the doors.”[Yoosuf 12:23] If he dreams that his house is made of gold, he will have a fire. Walls A wall is indicative of a man of resolve and religious commitment. Ifthe wall is upright and strong then the dreamer is likewise. If he dreamsthat he is looking at a wall and sees the likeness of his face, he will die,because the wall is made of dirt and stones, like the grave. Ascending and Means of Ascent If the dreamer dreams that he is ascending to a room or a palacewithout a ladder or stairs, he will attain a high position without any onehelping him, because Allah says: “We raise whom We will in degrees.”[Al-An’aam 6:83] The basic principle with regard to means of ascending is that theyare indicative of high status and good deeds. If it is made of wood,that is indicative of hypocrisy because Allah describes the hypocritesas being “As blocks of wood propped up.”[Al-Munaafiqoon 63:4] The same applies if it is made of baked bricks, because they havebeen fired. But it is a good sign if it is made of un-burnt bricks and clay.

Allah knows best. This is not a fatwa.
