Seeing “dreaming deceased parent”
in your dream

A province in a dream represents its governor or renowned scholars. Governing a city in a dream means rising to a suitable position, getting married, recovering from an illness, repenting from sin, or receiving guidance at the hand of a learned sheikh. Seeing a deceased person walking alive in a city in a dream perhaps means that he is in paradise enjoying its blessings. Seeing a deceased person in a village in a dream means that he might be in hell laboring with its people. A city in a dream also represents the entertainment it provides for its dwellers. The name of a city one sees in a dream should reflect some of the meanings of one's dream. (See Introduction).

Childbirth symbolizes delivery from hardships and disease; separation from one’s folk and
neighbours; comfort; relief; the settlement of debts; and repentance.

• Giving birth to a girl: Fantastic welfare or release from prison.

• A king  (ruler or chief) dreaming that his wife, who is not pregnant, has given birth to a male child: Will lay his hands on treasures.

• A man dreaming that his wife has given him a boy: Terrible worries and people will speak ill of the dreamer or he might die.

• A man dreaming that a small boy  (not a baby) was born to him: Will have a better share in the world or a booty.

• A man dreaming that an adult boy was born to him: He, or rather his wife, will have more prosperity, dignity, and strength.

• Dreaming of a devastated bathroom is good.

• Dreaming of simply seeing a bathroom means worries and troubles.

• Dreaming of washing in a bathroom means joy and happiness. However, if the water is lukewarm, it is a good dream. If the water is too hot, it is a bad dream.

• Dreaming of using a scented soap while washing and cleaning oneself in a bathroom: 
(1) For a rich man means financial losses, unless he had not washed till the scent was gone. 
(2) Otherwise, it means relief from fear or, conversely, deep trouble, weakness, or debts.

• Dreaming of being wrapped in a shroud like the dead, except for the head and feet, which remain uncovered: Religious corruption or simply things will go wrong.

• Weaving a shroud for a dead person: The dreamer will do something good in memory of the deceased or in
favour of his offspring as much as the winding sheet was big, beautiful, or valuable.

• Weaving a shroud for a living person known to the dreamer: Hardships and trouble for the latter.

• Weaving a shroud for a person dreamed of as unknown but alive: Good augury.

• Snatching a shroud from a dead person whom the dreamer used to know: The dreamer will follow the example of that late person.

Beating someone with a leather belt or with a cane in a dream means bad consequences in wakefulness. Hitting the floor in a dream means taking a trip. If one receives one hundred lashes on his back in a dream, it means that he has committed adultery, or it could mean that he has the intention to do so. If one receives forty lashes in a dream, it means that he indulges in drinking alcohol or uses intoxicants. If he is lashed eighty times in a dream, it means that he slanders married women. If he is whipped by a deceased person in the dream, it means that he is pursuing wrong ideas and should reverse his course, for a deceased person dwells in the kingdom of truth and follows only what pleased Allah Almighty.

(Accolade; Hug) Embracing someone in a dream means longevity. Embracing a deceased person also means longevity. If a deceased person embraces the person seeing the dream and does not let go of him in a dream, it means his death. Embracing a known person in a dream means associating with him. Embracing one's enemy in a dream means making peace with him. It is also said that an embrace in a dream signifies exchanging praises.

The eye represents the person’s vision and discrimination between right and wrong. It also symbolizes money and children, as they are as dear as the eyes. The black eye refers to religion, the blue religious violation, and the green a religion different from all others.

• Having several eyes in the body: Excessive virtue and religion.

• Dreaming that one’s stomach has been opened and finding an eye in it: The dreamer is a hypocrite.

• Dreaming that one’s eyes are those of a stranger: The dreamer will go blind and be guided by someone else.

• Dreaming that one’s eyes are those of an identified person: The dreamer will marry that person’s daughter and benefit from him.

• Dreaming that one’s eyes are gone: The dreamer’s children will die.

If one sees himself mourning a deceased person in a dream, it means that harm will come to him from the descendents or family of the departed person. Lamenting with great pain and sorrow and mourning over a deceased person in a dream also means waking up to a great joy and happiness. Lamenting in a dream also means adversities which are driven by the person who is lamenting. It also means going astray, or it could denote a flute, as the flute denotes lamenting in a dream. Lamenting in a dream also represents the work of ignorance.

• A man at war dreaming of Doomsday: Will triumph.

• Dreaming that the hour has come for you alone: Will die.

• Dreaming of the atrocities of Doomsday, then seeing everything returning to normal: 
(1) Justice will replace injustice inflicted by most unfair people.  (2) The dreamer is immersed in sins, asking impossible things, determined to keep lying, and refusing to repent, owing to the Quranic verse: “Nay, but that hath become clear unto them which before they used to hide. And if they were sent back they would return unto that which they are forbidden. Lo! they are liars.” 
(“Al-Anam” [Cattle], verse 28.)

• One Aqiq stone: (1) Return of an absent one. (2) Recovery of a sick person.
(3) The freeing of a prisoner. (4) More faith and the abiding by the Holy Prophet’s Tradition.

• One bead: A friend who has nobody to support him.

• Many beads: Illicit gains.

• Dreaming of Aqiq and of doing, at the same time, something prohibited, such as slaughtering a pig or presenting people with pork or dead meat while aware of the sinful character of such an act: The dreamer is ungrateful to his parents and to God, in view of the resemblance of the word Aqiq to oqooq, which in Arabic conveys that meaning of ingratitude.

• Being given Aqiq: Will follow the example of the donor. Losing it means the reverse. Owning plenty of
aqiq: Money and general welfare, as much as was seen.

• Drinking from a container made of aqiq: Will have a child who will become honest and prestigious and will never be short of money.

(of innocence) that he might manifest their shame to them …”  (“Al-Aaraf’ [The Heights], verse 27.)

• Dreaming of controlling the devils who come to you and follow you: The dreamer will become a great chief and crush and humiliate his enemies in view of the Quranic verse: “And of the evil ones [shayyatin, plural of shaytan]

(“Al-Anbiyae” [The Prophets], verse 82.)

(Granary; Pantry; Storage room; Subterranean storehouse) An underground grain storage house in a dream represents a caring mother, a single parent or a foster mother. This interpretation comes from the example of a fetus in his mother's womb and its dependence on her to supply the necessary nourishment. Once the stored food is consumed, then it is necessary to depend on a new source. If one sees an underground granary demolished or filled with dirt in the dream, and if his mother is sick, it means that she may die from her illness. If one's wife is pregnant, it means that she will soon deliver her infant. A demolished underground granary in a dream means finding a buyer for one's grains, and the dirt that fills the storehouse in the dream represents money.

Blindness symbolizes religious aberration. It means that the dreamer has forgotten the Holy Quran. It could also be an indication that the dreamer himself is being forgotten.

• Dreaming that someone has made you blind: That person is leading you astray and making you change your mind.

• An atheist dreaming of being blind: Losses, trouble, and worries.
