Seeing Dead People in Dreams in Dream Islam

Detailed book entry

If he sees them happy, this dream indicates that his status beforeAllah is good, because the Hereafter is the realm of truth. If the dreamersees a deceased man looking happy, that indicates that he is happy withhis situation. If he sees them (the dead) looking unhappy or turning away, this dream indicates that his status before Allah is bad, and it is sufficient for one of you to be exhorted in his dream. If he sees crownon the deceased or sees him sitting on the throne, wearing green robes, or he tells him that he did not die, that indicates that he is in a good state. If he dreams that he struck dead person, his religious commitment willbecome strong; if the dead person struck him, that indicates that he istaking wealth that is owed to the deceased. If he sees a dead person heknows naked, that indicates that he departed this world devoid of good. One of them said that on the contrary, that indicates that he is at rest. If a known deceased person is brought back to life wearing newclothes, his offspring will have some good times and they will attainsome prominence and authority. But if he is brought back to life sad, that indicates that his offspring will commit immoral actions and become poor. If he sees his grandfather or grandmother come back to life, he willgain authority; the same applies if it is one of his parents, but the mothercoming back to life is stronger. If he sees his brother coming back to life, he will become stronger after being weak, because Allah says: “[Moses said,] ‘And appoint for me a helper from my family,Haaroon (Aaron), my brother.’” [Ta-Ha 20:29, 30] If he dreams that his sister came back to life, one who is absent willreturn to him from his journey, because Allah says: “And she said to his [Moosa’s (Moses)] sister: ‘Follow him. ’So she (his sister) watched him from a far place secretly, whilethey perceived not.” [Al-Qasas 28:11] If he dreams that his maternal uncle or maternal aunt came back to life, something will return to him that he had lost. If he dreams that heslept in the same bed with someone who is dead, he will live a long life. If he dreams that he prayed behind one who is dead, that indicates that his life will be short, because he followed one who is dead. If he dreams that he followed a dead person, he will follow his deeds. If he dreams that the dead person called him from where he could not see him, and he answered and went out with him because he could not refuse, hewill die of the same disease as that person or he will die in the sameway, whether it was being crushed under a falling wall or drowning andthe like. If he dreams that he followed a dead person and entered an unknown house with him and did not come out of it, or he did not enterit, or he entered it and came out, he will almost die but will not die. If he dreams that he travelled with a dead person, he will be confused about some of his affairs. If he dreamt that a dead person gave him some worldly gains, he will attain something good from a source that he didnot expect. If he gives him a new shirt or a clean shirt, he will attain alivelihood like that of the deceased person when he was still alive, but ifit is dirty, he will commit immoral actions. If he gives him a Taylasaan (shawl), he will attain a position of high status like his. If he hands hima garment that is worn out, he will die when he is wearing it, because itis the garment of the dead. If he gives him a melon, he will be affectedby distress that he was not expecting. If the dead person exhorts him orteaches him something, he will be guided. If a man dreams that he gave the dead person something which canbe eaten or drunk, he will be harmed in his wealth or he will fall sickand then recover. They said that if the dead person eats food, that isindicative of high prices. If he gives the dead person his clothing andhe puts it on, and the dreamer no longer owns it, he will die. If he gives it to him to keep it or wash it for him, but he still owns it, then he will not be harmed. The dream interpreters said: Anything that the living person gives to the dead person is not a good sign unless he gives him a melon, which is indicative of relief from fever from a source he did not expect. Or ifhis paternal uncle or paternal aunt gives him something, then he willinherit something. What they said about giving him a melon is clear, because the melon is indicative of sickness and trouble. If he gives themelon to the deceased person, this trouble becomes non-existent. Asfor the gift of his paternal uncle or paternal aunt indicating that he willget an inheritance, I do not know the reason for that except the verse inwhich Allah says: “And when the relatives and the orphans and Al-Masaakeen (the poor) are present at the time of division, give them out of theproperty.” [Al-Nisa’ 4:8] If he dreams that a dead person greeted him, it is indicative of hisgood status before Allah. If he dreams that a dead person embraced himlovingly, he will live a long life; if he held him as in a fight, then hisdream is not good. If he dreams that he spoke to the dead person, he willlive a long life and he may reconcile with the man after conflict. If hedreams that he kissed a known dead person, he will get something froma source he did not imagine, and if he dreams that a known dead personkissed him, he will get something from that person’s offspring. Buying food is indicative of high prices, and selling it or eating it isindicative of low prices. If he dreams that he exhumed a dead personfrom the grave, he will look for his life story in order to follow hisexample in religious matters or otherwise. And Allah knows best.

Allah knows best. This is not a fatwa.
