Seeing “rubbing spit”
in your dream

(See Grease)

Normally oiling of the hair, beard or body suggests beauty and elegance. But if excessive oil is seen flowing on the face or clothes, it suggests grief and sorrow.

• Having no saliva to spit out: Poverty.

• Saliva flowing from the mouth: The dreamer will earn money, then lose it.

• Saliva flowing from the mouth without touching any part of the dreamer’s body but people collecting it with their hands: The dreamer will spread knowledge among people. If the saliva is mixed with blood, such knowledge will include lies.

• Plenty of water flowing from the dreamer’s mouth: The dreamer will lead a comfortable life.

• Water coming out of a merchant’s mouth: Alms to the poor.

(Imprecation; Witchcraft) Spitting over something in a dream, or blowing over a knot and spitting on it with an imprecation in a dream means witchcraft. (Also see Spittle)

Spittle symbolizes a man’s wealth and power or capabilities. Warm spittle is a reference to life, while cold spittle alludes to death.

• Spitting: The dreamer is backbiting.

• Spitting on a wall:  (1) The dreamer is investing in business. 
(2) The dreamer is financing Jihad, or holy struggle.

• Spitting on the ground: The dreamer will buy land or a farm.

• Spitting on a tree: The dreamer will forsake a vow or fail to honour a pledge that he had sworn to
fulfil.

Rubbing sweet-smelling oil amplifies ones beauty and elegance.

(Champing; Chomp; Love; Rancor) In a dream, a bite signifies perfidy, rancor or extreme love for the one who is bitten in a dream. If one bites himself then spits a piece of his own flesh on the ground in a dream, it means backbiting and belittling others. Biting one's own fingers in a dream means regret or fury, rage and anger.

(See Spit out)

(Rubbing cloth) Palm fiber in a dream represents new clothing, or an accumulated wealth that is bearing heavy on its owner because of the methods he uses to gather it, or because of failing to pay its due alms tax, or required charities.

Jabir reported Allah's Messenger (Sallallaahu-Alayhi-wasallam) as saying:
If anyone sees a dream which he does not like, lie should spit on his left side. (Muslim)

'Abu Qatadah narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) said:
"Dreams are from Allah and Hulum are from Shaitan. So when one of you sees something that bothers him, then let him spit on his left three times, and let him seek refuge in Allah from its evil. Then it will not harm him."

This hadith has been reported on the authority of Zuhri with the same chain of transmitters, but it does not contain the words:
" I felt disturbed because of that," and there is an addition of these words in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Yunus:" Then spit thrice on the left side when you get up from sleep." (Muslim)

Narrated Abu Qatada Al-Ansari: (a companion of the Prophet and one of his cavalry men) "I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "A good dream is from Allah, and a bad dream is from Satan; so, if anyone of you had a bad dream which he disliked, then he should spit on his left and seek refuge with Allah from it, for it will not harm him." (Bukhari)

(Illusion) In a dream, a magician represents a seducer. If he uses an apple in his illusion in the dream, it means that he will seduce his own son. If he uses a butterfly in his performance in the dream, it means that he will rape his own wife. (Also see Magic arts; Sorcery; Spit out)

(Conjuring; Jugglery; Tricks) In a dream, magic arts mean deceit, pride, artificiality and temptations. To learn about sorcery, or black magic, or about similar arts in a dream means innovation and heedlessness. (Also Magician; Sorcery; Spit out)

Narrated Abu Qatada: The Prophet said, "A good dream is from Allah, and a bad dream is from Satan. So whoever has seen (in a dream) something he dislike, then he should spit without saliva, thrice on his left and seek refuge with Allah from Satan, for it will not harm him, and Satan cannot appear in my shape." (Bukhari)

Lubricating someone else's head in a dream means evil and the subject should take precautions toward the one greasing his head. Having ajar of grease or cream to rub one's body with it or to apply it to others in a dream means fawning, adulation, flattery, hypocrisy, falsehood or backbiting, etcetera. If one sees his own face rubbed with grease in a dream, it means a lifetime of abstinence and religious fasting. Rubbing oneself with a cream as a treatment or as a medicine to lessen one's pain in a dream means that one will correct himself, or save money as a bridal dower or as a down payment toward a purchase. (Also see Lubrication; Stuffed turkey)

Abu Qatada reported Allah's Messenger (Sallallaahu-Alayhi-wasallam) as saying:
A good vision is from Allah and a bad dream (hulm) is from the satan; so if one of you sees anything (in a dream which he dislikes, he should spit on his left side thrice and seek refuge with Allah from its evil, and then it will never harm him. Abu Salama said: I used to see dreams weighing more heavily upon me than a mountain; but since I heard this hadith I don't care for it (its burden). (Muslim)
