Seeing “freeing flock birds”
in your dream

• A mountain taking off and hovering over people’s heads: The king will terrorize his subjects as, says Ibn
Siren, this is what happened to the children of Israel when God lifted the mountain and let it glide over them to terrorize them or deter them from disobedience.

• Mountains exploding or being shattered: A harbinger of war and schisms in which flocks of people will perish, as this is one of the signs of the end of the world.

• Climbing on a mountain and drinking water from its springs: Will be given a province or a high post, if eligible, or achieve gains, if in business.

• Carrying a mountain and finding it too heavy: Will carry the belongings or look after the interest of a huge man or a giant of a man.

Trees, Voracious animals and birds. If these are seen in ones dream (individually or collectively) they may very likely mean men.

• 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.

• Pissing a bird: The dreamer will have a son showing similarities to the essence or characteristics of that bird, be they good or bad.

• Pissing stool: The dreamer will commit an abomination in which family will get involved.

• Pissing vomitus: The dreamer will have an illegitimate son.

• Pissing in the standing position: The dreamer will spend money unconsciously.

• Pissing on one’s shirt:  (1) If a bachelor, the dreamer will get married. 
(2) If already married, the dreamer will have a boy.

• Pissing in one’s nose: The dreamer will have sex with a prohibited relative.

(Hearing; Language; Listening; Talking; Words) Speaking different languages in a dream means richness. The words of a deceased person in a dream are always true. The same goes for birds speaking in a dream and their speech denotes glad tidings, prosperity, knowledge and understanding. If an animal talks with someone in his dream or tells him; " I saw a dream... " then if the animal refrains from relating such a dream, it means a fight, a battle, losses, or an argument. If a dog, a panther, or a falcon speaks to someone and tells him a dream in a dream, it means glad tidings, great earnings, benefits and joy. In general, birds talking to humans in a dream mean benefits and rising in rank. If a snake speaks gently with someone in a dream, it means that he will receive benefits from an enemy.

• Freeing a slave: Sacrifice. Hence a man dreaming that he has been set free from slavery will be the object of a sacrifice.

• An indebted free person or one who has committed some sin dreaming that he has been set free from slavery: God will come to his rescue, or he will repent.

• A bondsman dreaming that he has been set free:  (1) The possible death of his master or himself. 
(2) If ill, will die.  (3) Fewer benefits.  (4) If the master was a renegade or a disbeliever, he will repent or embrace Islam and be safe from Hell’s inferno.

• A bondsman dreaming that he has died: Will be set free.

• Dreaming of black grapes: Flogging or lashes as much as there were seeds in the grapes.

• Picking a bunch of black grapes from a tree: Wife will give birth to a boy fathered by a black bondsman.

• Picking a bunch of grapes: The dreamer will take his wife’s savings.

• Pressing grape to obtain juice and turning the latter into wine: The dreamer will win the
favours of the chief, along with unblessed money, in view of the story of the Prophet Yusuf as related in the Holy Quran: “And two young men went to prison with him. One of them said: I dreamed that I was pressing wine. The other said: I dreamed that I was carrying upon my head bread whereof the birds were eating. Announce unto us the interpretation, for we see thee of those good [at interpretation]. He said: The food which ye are given [daily] shall not come unto you but I shall tell you the interpretation ere it cometh unto you. This is of that which my Lord hath taught me … O my fellow-prisoners! As for one of you, he will pour out wine for his lord to drink; and as for the other, he will be crucified so that the birds will eat from his head. Thus is the case judged concerning which ye did inquire.” 
(“Yusuf [Joseph], verses 36–41.)

If one sees the entire city suffering from an illness in a dream, it means a war, or a siege. If one sees himself ill in a dream, it also means victory over his enemy and enjoying a happy life. Otherwise, seeing anyone suffering from an illness in a dream means lack of work, and for a rich person it means becoming needy. If a business traveller sees himself ill and desiring something in his dream, it means that his business deal will not fall through, for physicians mostly do not grant their patients their wishes. If a bedridden person sees himself freeing a slave from bondage in a dream, it means his death, for a dead person has no property.

Seeing this bird means he will be guided on the straight path.

• 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.

Dream interpreter: Various Islamic Scholars

(Bird) A sandpiper in a dream represents a virgin, a woman, or a wife.

(Nail) In a dream, a claw signifies victory over one's enemy, as it provides a weapon, protection and a tool for a bird.

(Bird; Fowl) A bustard in a dream represents a rich person and a spendthrift with limited benefits to others and a gluttonous personality.

The cock and the hen represent a foreign slave, a bondsman, or the offspring of a bondman, because those birds do not fly. The cock also symbolizes an enthusiastic and energetic man—one whose voice is heard, like the muath-thin or muezzin 
(he who calls people to pray). Likewise, it refers to a man of influence but who is under someone else’s authority, again because despite its huge size, crest, or comb that stands like a crown on its head, the cock is owned by somebody and cannot fly.

The starling symbolizes a person who travels quite often, because that bird never falls. It could also refer to a weak, patient, or ascetic individual who makes a living by honest means.

The francolin bird symbolizes either:  (1) A bondsman or 
(2) A Persian woman.

(Candor; Eagle; Enemy; Evil; Imbecile; Thieves) A vulture in a dream represents a stupid, abominable and a lewd person. When seen during a daylight dream, it means a grievous illness. If one sees a vulture inside his house in a dream, it means sending help to assist someone in difficulty. Capturing a vulture in a dream means a fight or war. A flock of vultures descending upon a town in a dream represent an occupying army with merciless soldiers who will plunder such town.

(zool. Game; Graveyard) A vermin or any bird that kills game or dwells near the graveyards in a dream represents a procurer or a prostitute.

(Cupolead structure; Qubba; Shrine) Building a dome in a dream means marriage. Demolishing a dome means death or a divorce. A dome also signifies power and ruling if one owns it, or if he stands under one in his dream. Seeing a dome and birds surrounding it in a dream also means exaltation.

Said he, “If he does not burn you with his fire, you will not be immune from his sparks.” The heat and smoke around him are also bad signs. Dreaming of being an ironsmith taking whatever iron you want and doing whatever you wish with it means you will become a great king or have a wide-ranging influence, in view of the story of David as related in the Holy Quran 
(“Saba” [Sheba], verse 10): “And assuredly We gave David grace from Us,  (saying): O ye hills and birds, echo his psalms of praise! And We made the iron supple unto him….”
