Classical meaning
did not do it? He said: Yes. Wells are indicative of the same things as springs, but they indicateprominent people of lesser status. If rivers, springs and wells are seenin the dream in places where there is no water, such as deserts, theyindicate prominent people of different status because they are not all thesame. If they are seen in the usual places, they represent people of lowerstatus. The disappearance of one of them is indicative of low rainfall, alot of diseases and sicknesses that are hot, death of animals due to lackof water and destruction of crops. I said: In our land there is a river from which gardens are wateredand its water belongs to some people from whom the garden ownersbuy the water for a price that fluctuates. A man dreamt that this riverdried up and I interpreted that as meaning that the price of water wouldrise and that turned out to be the case. The flow of rivers and springs inplaces where they should not be, such as in the midst of the houses, isindicative of troubles and weeping eyes in that place. If a person dreams that water comes down from the roof or collectedin the roof in such a way that it damaged the walls or damaged someof the furniture, that is also indicative of trouble and it signifies thatthieves may enter that place. If it flows in the gardens, that is indicativeof some extra income coming to the owner of the garden, as somesuggested. I once dreamt that water was flowing through my garden,then I lost possession of it. Then I dreamt that the same happened toanother garden of mine and I lost possession of it. Then I dreamt thatthe water was flowing through part of another garden of mine, and I lostit by renting it out. The interpretation of the above may be understood ifthe water comes in a place where it does not harm the crops, but in mycase I saw that the water did damage the crops. If water enters a valley in the land, that indicates that a ruler will come in. If the water is clear, he will be just, otherwise he will be unjust.If the water moves backwards, that indicates that the ruler will be just.If the water rises, that indicates that the ruler will oppress his subjects; ifit rises too much, the ruler will suppress them. If the water washes awayfood, that indicates that the ruler will take their wealth; if it sweeps awayhorses, that indicates that the ruler will take their women captive. If thedreamer sees himself falling into a river and then coming out of it, hewill fall into grief and then be saved from it. If he dreams that he jumpedout of the river onto the bank, he will be saved from the oppression of aruler and will prevail over his enemies, on the grounds that when Taloot(Saul) crossed the river, he prevailed over Jaloot (Goliath). A man dreamt that there were springs on his body. He said: That isindicative of boils or wounds. He said: The same applies if he sees wellson his body. Another man dreamt that there were rivers on his body. He said:There is the fear that you will be branded with fire. Soon after that hewas captured by an enemy and branded with fire. Another man dreamt that his back was a well of sweet water and itcoloured his clothes. He said: Boils or carbuncles will appear on yourbody. That turned out to be the case. Another man dreamt that and hesaid that he drank from the well. He said: A son of yours will live andyou will eat from his earnings. Floods Floods signify a stranger or troops and are indicative of movementfrom one place to another. They indicate that because floods come fromdifferent places and there is no telling where they came from. If the floodbenefits the people, that is indicative of good, but if they are harmed byit, it is indicative of something bad. The mud that results from a flood isindicative of distress and the one who walks through it will get a greatdeal of that distress. Some of them said: Walking in mud signifies grief from people inpositions of power, because of the blackness. The flowing of waterthrough the gutters without it having rained is indicative of bloodshed. Wells For a man, a well (in a dream) signifies a cheerful woman, and for awoman it signifies a man of good character, because there is benefit ina well and there is no harm in it. It is also indicative of a scholar, andit may simply be a prison or a grave or a plot. As for a prison and thegrave, that is because of the similarity between them and because wellsare often used as prisons. As for it signifying a plot, that is becauseholes in dreams usually indicate plotting. If a person dreams that he dug a well for a man, it indicates that hewill plot against that man but the plot will backfire against him. Thepoet said: O digger of the well, make it spacious, because the one who digs awell will soon fall into it. If a person dreams that he dug a well and there was water in it, hewill marry a wealthy woman and will cheat her. If there was no water init, then the woman does not have any wealth. If he dreams that he fellinto a well, he will die, as is also the case if he dreams that he fell intoa dry well. If he sees his feet dangling in a well, he will be a victim of aplot against his wealth. If he dreams that he went down into a well and when he got halfwayhe gave the call to prayer, he is going to travel, because descending intothe well signifies disappearing in the land, and disappearing in the landmeans travelling. The call to prayer signifies high position, so halfwaythrough his journey he will attain leadership and ample income. But ifhe heard the call to prayer when he was halfway down the well, he will be dismissed if he was in a position of authority and he will incur lossesin business if he is a trader, if he cannot reach what he wanted whichwas at the bottom of the well. A well may also indicate a man of high position in the place seenin the dream. If the water is sweet, then that man will be easy-going,otherwise he will not. If the dreamer sees a well from which anyonewho comes to it can drink by means of a rope, that indicates that in thatplace there is a man or woman from whom the people benefit in theirlivelihood and he will be thought of highly because of what is indicatedby the rope, because Allah says: “And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allah.”[Aal ‘Imraan 3:103] A well that is found in a residential quarter where people can reachit easily may signify a prostitute to whom everyone goes, and the ropeand bucket of the well signify the men who love her, and whateverhappens to them, good or bad, is because of her. A man said to Ibn ‘Abbaas (May Allah be please with him): I dreamt that I lowered a bucket intoa well and two thirds of the bucket got filled and one third remainedempty. He said to him: You have been absent from your house for sixmonths, and your wife is pregnant and will give birth to a son. The well represents a woman, the bucket represents a man and the waterrepresents good news in the well, which is like the good news thatwas in the dry well where Yoosuf (May Allah be please with him) was. So I realized that it wasforetelling a son. The two thirds of the bucket represent six months andthe remaining third is three months. He said: You are right.
Allah knows best. This is not a fatwa.
