Seeing “fast meal”
in your dream

Dreams about fasting have contradictory interpretations:

• Dreaming of being in the Muslims  month of fasting  (Ramadan): 
(1) Higher prices  (inflation) and scarcity of foodstuffs.  (2) Sound religion, end of worries, recovery from a disease, the settlement of debts.

• Having fasted the entire month of Ramadan:  (1) Certainty after doubt. 
(2) If the dreamer was illiterate, he would memorize the Holy Quran.

• Dreaming of recognizing the utility of fasting and wishing to fast: Quick benefits from an unexpected source.

• Failing to fast during the month of Ramadan:  (1) The dreamer is giving way to his instinct and passions. 
(2) The dreamer will have a blessed journey.

• Dreaming of having deliberately and overtly eaten throughout the month of Ramadan, instead of fasting like other Muslims: 
(1) The dreamer is disregarding religious rules.  (2) The dreamer will commit a premeditated murder.

Sinus congestion in a dream means a sickness that will be followed by fast recovery, comfort and rejoicing.

Standing on the shore and watching a ship in the sea in a dream means receiving glad tidings. If one sees the ship ascending in the skies in a dream, it represents slow coming benefits, and if the ship is descending from the sky, it denotes fast coming benefits. The beams of a ship represent religious men, faith, holding fast to one's religion, or they could mean complications. The sails of a ship in a dream represent its captain. The crew represents servants. The rowing oars, the rudders, or the propellers in a dream represent the movement of the ship, or the children of its owner. The condition of a ship represents the state of the person seeing the dream or his living condition. If one rescues a drowned ship in a dream, it means that he will discover a treasure, or it could mean marriage if one is unwed, or a financial gift for one who works for a governor.

Once Imam Ibn Sirin was sitting to eat his lunch when a woman came and said: "I saw a dream." Ibn Sirin replied: "Would you let me eat first, or would you like me to stop and listen to your dream?" The woman said: "Eat first," and she sat waiting for him. During the course of his meal, Ibn Sirin said to the woman: "Tell me your dream." The woman said: "I saw the moon merging in Alcyone." (The brightest star of the constellation Taurus, arb. Thurayya. See Alcyone.) The woman continued: "A voice then said to me: 'Go to Ibn Sirin, and tell him your dream.'"

A wooden bowl in a dream also represents a woman, a housekeeper, the workplace, or one's shop.
