Seeing “speaking arab”
in your dream

For the ancient Arabs this mineral symbolized the haram 
(money) or money obtained by unholy means and constituting a sin and the debauched woman who corrupts others. Some interpreters regarded it as money earned the hard way or simply trouble and worries for its being difficult to swallow or digest. Dreaming of naphta being poured on someone: Harm from the ruler or higher authorities.

To see someone speaking to the observer or giving him something suggests that the observer will socialize or deal with him or someone who bears a similar name or resembles him.

(Divulging) If one speaks or spells out something that is supposed to remain a secret in a dream, it may mean reaching an elevated position, gaining respect for one's words and opinions, or it could mean speaking publicly about one's charities.

What is poured into it has nothing to do with inherent purity. Your eating of the scum means waste, and neither you nor your friends will benefit from it, for God Almighty has said: "For the scum will be thrown off." (Qur'an 17:13) As for the camel in your dream, it represents an Arab leader, and in this case, he is the Prince of the believers, the Caliph Omar Bin 'Abdul- Aziz, and you are backbiting him and sweetening your calumny with honey."

The heart symbolizes the dreamer’s wife. It also refers to his courage, tolerance, forgiveness, temerariousness 
(guts), quality, generosity, endurance, and righteousness. Anything wrong in it in a dream applies to the body, as the heart belongs to the body and makes it live. But the interpretation of dreams involving the heart by the ancient Arabs was often paradoxical.

• The heart coming out of the body: Religious faith and fidelity.

• Emptying the heart: Truth will prevail.

Sheep are a booty. Black sheep are Arabs; white ones are aliens. The ewe, or female sheep, is a well-off or rather wealthy woman. The billy goat is an awesome man or, on the contrary, a slave, a Negro, or even an ignorant person, to borrow the expression of Ibn
Siren. The same interpretation of dreams involving a ram applies to it. The she-goat symbolizes a humble or humiliated woman or a jobless servant, because her body is uncovered where it should not be, like the poor. It also refers to the average year.

• Pissing in an animated area of a marketplace: The dreamer will become a familiar figure in that market.

• A horseman stepping down from a mare for some adventitious reason and pissing blood: He is indulging in adultery 
(because, according to the ancient Arabs, the soil is a woman and pissing is sex, while blood symbolizes what is prohibited).

• Urinating in the mihrab or prayer niche: The dreamer will have a son who will become a Muslim spiritual leader, as the mihrab basically represents the imam.

The mosque’s pulpit, rostrum, or tribune symbolizes an Arab ruler, a prestigious Muslim, or the Muslim masses.

• Making philanthropic statements at the pulpit:  (1) If a specialist, the dreamer will rise in life and wield power. 
(2) If a layman, the dreamer will be renowned for his righteousness.

The doe or roe is a beautiful Arab girl.

• Catching a doe in a hunt: Will be smart enough to let a girl fall in love with you or will trick a woman into marrying you.

• Shooting at a doe: Will divorce or beat your wife or have sex with a slave or a maiden.

• Throwing an arrow at a doe: Will slander a maiden or a maid.

• Slaughtering a doe and shedding its blood: Will deflower a girl.

• A king dreaming of looking after a falcon: Will have an army of Arabs known for their stoicism and courage.

• A king dreaming of a falcon taking off from his hand and leaving a thread or a feather: The king will be overthrown, but will keep some wealth.

• Seeing a falcon in one’s house: Will subdue a thief.

• Catching a falcon or placing it on one’s hand: Will catch a thief and recover lost property.

• Seizing a falcon: Will have a great son.

• Dreaming that unknown people have come to you and dressed you in pompous clothes without there being any feast or marriage, then left you alone in a house: You will die.

• The dead giving the dreamer two well-washed Arab male robes: Will become prosperous.

• The dead lending his robe to the dreamer, then asking for it back: That dead person has very few good deeds to his credit and cannot hope for much of God’s forgiveness.

If an old man is seen speaking to him or giving him something, it means he will succeed in whatever he is pursuing. If the old man is of a pleasant personality and good looks, it means his pursuit is of a favourable nature. Otherwise, it is of an unfavourable nature.

Shooting an arrow means speaking out against evil. The extent to which the arrow penetrates decides the extent to which his words will have effect.

Jabir reported Allah's Messenger (Sallallaahu-Alayhi-wasallam) as saying:
There came to him (the Holy Prophet) a desert Arab and said: I saw in a dream that I had been beheaded and I had been following it (the severed head). Allah's Apostle (Sallallaahu-Alayhi-wasallam) reprimanded him saying: Do not inform about the vain sporting of devil with you during the night. (Muslim)

Grape juice, especially wine, symbolizes women, in view of its
delicious taste. It also represents sex, because it is like the semen. Likewise,
it refers to a generous and useful man, a good-doer, owing to the multifarious
benefits of grape. He could be a ruler, a scholar, or a person who gives money
to the needy. White grapes in the right season allude to the best of this world,
like money that will come earlier than expected. In winter, grapes allude to
rain. To the ancient Arabs, every bunch of grapes was one thousand dirham's 
(currency units).

If he sees himself as mounting a pack-horse while he is in the habit of mounting an Arab horse it means his status will decrease and his happiness will come to an end. But it his habit is to mount such a horse his status will increase and he will become happy.

For the ancient Arabs, brass or bronze and copper alluded to money obtained from Christians or Jews.

• Melting brass or bronze:  (1) Will have a dispute over materialistic questions. 
(2) A reference to slander, degrading conversations, and decadence.

• Finding some brass or bronze in one’s hand: Beware of hostile people and prove that you heed God by observing religious tenets.

• Seeing brass, bronze, or copper: The dreamer is calumniating and insulting people.

Stars symbolize people. Those that have a masculine name represent men; those with a feminine name allude to women. Big ones refer to notables, small ones to youths, children, or slaves. The ones the Arabs used as guiding marks when they moved in the desert are the Prophet Muhammad’s companions. Stars that had once upon a time been worshipped instead of God and were thus metamorphosed, says Ibn
Siren, like the Dog Star or Sirius, Venus, and Canopus, symbolize irreligious and evil persons. For a king, the stars are his soldiers and followers; for a bride or a bridegroom the stars are her or his entourage.

• Stars falling on earth or in the sea or burning out: Bloodshed and killings.

Smelling a sweet fragrance in a dream means uneasiness or a light illness. Smelling a bad odor in a dream means hearing or speaking bad words, or it could mean distress or depression.

(Beat; Hit; Whip) Lashing someone with a whip in a dream means speaking ill of him, or slandering him. If he bleeds in the dream, then it means business losses. (Also see Beating)
