Seeing “dead harm”
in your dream

(Benefits) A bridge in one's dream represents the pillars of one's faith, the straight path, the Bridge of the Day of Judgement or perhaps it could mean knowledge, guidance, fasting, prayers, or any vehicle which assists one in his escape from the evils of this world or the punishment for one's sins in the hereafter. A bridge in a dream also represents a pious worshiper who patiently bears the harm people may inflict on him. It can also mean the path to fulfill one's needs, having a high ranking connection with the governor, or it could represent one's wife, father or mother. Each bridge in a dream represents its own type.

Carrying someone in a dream. If the weight is heavy on the carrier, it means trouble or harm caused by one's neighbor. If a woman sees herself carrying a heavy load, such a load could represent her gluttonous husband. Carrying a load over one's shoulders in a dream also represents one's sins. A pregnancy in a dream means comfort for the baby but discomfort for the mother. Seeing oneself carrying bushes from the woods means backbiting, slandering and reporting lies.

Garlic in a dream means agony and distress. Eating raw garlic in a dream means receiving unlawful money, speaking bad words, making sarcastic praises or bartering good for evil. However, eating cooked garlic in a dream means repentance. Only a sick person can benefit from eating fresh garlic in a dream. Gathering garlic in the fields in a dream means suffering from harm caused by one's own family.

A dream interpreter once said: "I saw in a dream a man who was blindfolded with a blue piece of cloth. I asked him: 'Do you know what happened to my father?' The man replied: "Your father is dead.' Then he took me to may father's grave, where I felt the great loss, and I hugged it, cried, and wailed. When I woke up, I told another dream interpreter, who was a friend of mine, about my dream. He smiled and said: 'Your father's death in the dream means his longevity, and your crying means relief from distress.' I did not accept his interpretation of my dream, for I knew better the meaning of wailing and mourning in a dream.

• Being crucified alive: Dignity, honour, and religious righteousness.

• Being crucified and dead: Prestige coupled with corrupt religious faith.

• Being crucified and killed or after being killed: Prestige, but the dreamer will be lied to.

• Being crucified without remembering when that happened:  (1) Lost money will come back. 
(2) If the dreamer is poor, will get rich.  (3) Bad omen for the rich 
(according to some interpreters).  (4) Poverty, because a person is crucified naked. 
(5) Will have a safe sea journey, because the cross is made of wood and resembles the helm.

• Seeing a church being destroyed, burning, or undergoing some other calamity: Stronger religious faith 
(for the Muslims) and defeat for the polytheists and the hypocrites.

• A church turning into a synagogue or vice versa: Some accident will befall the aliens 
(non-Muslims) living in an Islamic country.

• Seeing one’s house as a church:  (1) Will talk the language of the Christians and turn one’s home into a meeting place for the whimsical, the heretics, and those who commit all sorts of sins. 
(2) The dreamer’s chief will be angry with him.

• Seeing a dead person in a church: The deceased is in the Eternal Blaze, locked with those who had disobeyed the Lord.

Stones of a structure or on the ground symbolize the dead, the ignorant, the idle, and the atheists. Arab wise men used to describe the people of the pre-Islamic era as stones.

• Turning into stone: Will disobey God and lose faith, have a stone heart, or become crippled.

• Seizing, buying, or standing on stones: Will triumph over a man or marry a woman showing similarities to such a stone.

• Stones falling from the sky: Calamities brought about by a tyrant. Removing stones or mountains: Is attempting something difficult.

• Hitting a stone with a stick to see water coming out of it: Will get rich. If already wealthy, will become richer.

The cat symbolizes a book in view of a verse in the Holy Quran in which the word qitt, meaning in Arabic “cat,” is used as a synonym for “written fate” or “sentence” 
(“Sad”, verse 16). It could also symbolize the neglect of the woman and children or their harsh treatment.
But the cat is one of the most controversial figures in dreams. Some regard it as a servant and a guardian, others as a thief from within the house 
(an insider). It refers to all beings who stay around the person to guard him but who, at the same time, embezzle, steal, or harm him and are, in fact, of no use to him. For example, being bitten or scratched by a cat would mean that the dreamer will be betrayed by his servant or will fall ill. According to Ibn
Siren, a cat’s scratch means an illness that will last a year.

• Seeing an elephant and failing to ride it: Prestige and fortune will decline. Conversely, riding it, especially by night, means that the dreamer, if eligible, will triumph over a huge but niggardly king 
(or chief). If the dreamer is not eligible, the same dream would indicate that the dreamer will enter a war but be defeated or get killed in it, in view of the following verses in the Holy Quran: “Hast thou not seen how thy Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant? Did He not bring their stratagem to naught.” 
(“Al-Fil” [The Elephant], verses 01–02.)

• Riding an elephant by day: Will divorce one’s wife and sustain harm in the process.

• Being put in the grave: Will own a house.

• Sand being levelled upon the dreamer in the grave: Will gain money.

• Backfilling a grave: Long life and lasting health.

• Being put in a grave, as a dead person, without being preserved: Will make love to a woman.

• A grave in an unknown place: Will go along with a hypocrite.

• Numerous graves in an unknown place: Hypocrites.

• Well-known graves: The truth or some rights that the dreamer is forgetting.

• A known grave turning into the dreamer’s house: Will marry a relative of the deceased.

Otherwise, it means that such a property will be donated by its owner for religious use. Seeing an incorrectly positioned prayer niche in a mosque in a dream means deviation for Allah's path and erring in one's words and actions. In a dream, a mihrab also represents lawful sustenance or a pious wife. If one sees the prayer niche of a mosque misdirected, or if it emits a vile odor, or if one sees the corpse of a dead animal lying inside it in a dream, it indicates that the one who is seeing the dream is an unbeliever, an innovator and a hypocrite.

• A sick person dreaming of being in an unknown jail: A reference to his tomb, where he will be locked till the Day of Resurrection. If the jail is known, the disease will last, but he will hopefully recover and resume his activities in this world 
(which is yet another jail of its kind). In case the jail is unknown and the patient is a criminal, he will remain sick for a long time without any hope of a recovery unless he repents or embraces Islam, and the jail in question is his grave.

• Seeing a dead person in jail:  (1) If he was a true believer, he is kept away 
(provisionally) from Paradise for some sins that remain pending.  (2) If he was an atheist, he is in Hell.

A mountain in a dream also could mean achieving one's goal, a journey, or fulfilling a promise. If the mountain is standing distinct from other mountains in the dream, the above meanings become stronger. If the mountain has pasture and stores a source of water, and if it is used as a permanent guarding post, then it represents a pious ruler. However, if it stores no water, and if no pasture grows therein in the dream, it represents a tyrant and a ruler who is an atheist, for in that case, it is dead and does not glorify Allah Almighty, nor can people benefit from it.

• Vulture meat: Money and influence.
The Egyptian vulture, also called pharaoh’s chicken, is an impulsive individual. It refers as well to bad people, bastards, or those who dwell in the cemeteries. Likewise, it alludes to the dead’s washhouse.

• Dreaming of an Egyptian vulture during daytime: Will be sick.

• A sick person dreaming of an Egyptian vulture: Will die.

• Capturing a pharaoh’s chicken: War and terrible bloodshed.

• Flocks of Egyptian vultures landing in a city: Mean and immoral soldiers will invade it.

In that sense, hail in a dream means obstruction of public interests. In a dream, hail also represents a strange type of business that will come from the direction of the wind carrying such a storm. If no harm occurs in one's dream, then hail represents glad tidings and especially if people start collecting it in bowls. If hail falls over a farmland without damaging it in a dream, it means a good harvest. If one gathers hail in his garment, or inside a cloth in a dream, it means that he will lose his riches, or it could mean the loss of an awaited shipment. (Also see Dew; Ice)

(Day of Reckoning; Day of Resurrection; Last Day; Reckoning; Rising of the dead; Trumpet of Resurrection) Seeing the Day of Resurrection, or Doomsday in a dream is a serious warning for a sinner, or it could represent a warning for someone who is contemplating a sinful act. Seeing the Day of Resurrection in a dream also denotes justice. Being the only person resurrected on such a day means one's death. Standing up awaiting one's judgement on the Day of Resurrection in a dream means travels. If one sees himself and his wife being the only people who are brought for judgement of the grand Day of Gathering in a dream, it means that he is being unjust.

• Taking the shroud of a dead person:  (1) For a virtuous or pious being: The dreamer will specialize in an exotic and very delicate science or craft 
(or technology in modern times) or will achieve gains by unholy means.  (2) For a debauchee: He has very little if not no religion at all, is affecting people’s minds, and indulges in peeping, sneaking, reporting, and violating people’s secrecy.

• Separating winding sheets: The dreamer is a benefactor.

• Asking for a shroud but failing to find one: Bad omen.

• Something enshrouded being given to the dreamer: Benefits.

• Collecting a large number of shrouds: The dreamer is learning various sciences and skills.

If one sees himself carrying his book of records in his right hand in a dream, it means that he will win righteousness, wealth and honor. If one sees himself carrying his book of records in his left hand in a dream, it means that he will fall into sin and the consequent poverty and need of others, for wealth and adultery do not mix. If one witnesses the emergence of the Imposter (Antichrist) in a dream, it signifies new trends, innovations and masses straying from the straight path. (Also see Intercession; Reckoning; Rising of the dead; Trumpet of Resurrection)

The nabeq tree, or Christ’s thorn, refers to wealth or piety. For etymological reasons, one nabeq means a standstill.
The nabeq itself, lotus, jujube, or cherry like fruit of the lote tree represents a praiseworthy man, in view of the nobility of its tree and the strength of its essence. It refers to money and blessings, especially if it is mature. Although it is yellow, there is no harm in its pallor. It is an unparalleled fruit. For those who are after worldly life it represents money. For ascetic people it means more religion and uprightness.

• A woman dreaming that her hands are tattooed: She will use her makeup to achieve what is right. If the tattoo was made of mud, it means that she uses her rosary quite often. If the drawings on her hands get mixed up, harm will befall her children.

• A woman seeing her hand dyed or tattooed with gold:  (1) She is giving her money to her husband. 
(2) Her husband will bring her joy.
