Seeing “bird turning into mouse and died and there was another dead mouse”
in your dream

During a pilgrimage to Mecca, a sheikh was told in a dream that he would die on such and such date. When he returned home, he held that dream to himself and waited for the time to come. Once he passed that date stated in his dream, he waited a few more days, then told someone about it, saying: "I would have hot told you about this dream, had the date not passed." The person replied: "Perhaps you miscalculated the date, or maybe it is a confused dream." After returning to his home, the sheikh died during that same night. This is the meaning of Prophet Muhammad saying: "A dream sits on the wing of a bird and will not take effect unless it is related to someone."

(See Mouse)

(See Mouse)

A specific tree like the date tree or a walnut tree. The date tree may be interpreted as an honorable Arab gentleman since date trees are mainly indigenous to arab countries. As for the walnut tree, it represents a non-Arab person since these trees do not grow in the land of the Arabs. The same applies to birds. If a bird is huge it symbolizes an Arab gentleman; a peacock represents a non-Arab gentleman.

The vulture is the most powerful bird and best flyer. It also has the sharpest vision and lives longest. Therefore, owning a vulture means that the dreamer will have tremendous influence and will become a real king, a regent, or some kind of a ruler.

• A vulture rebelling against the dreamer: The king  (or supreme authority) will be angry with the dreamer and appoint an unjust man to deal with him 
(the same as the Prophet Solomon trusted the vulture to take care of the birds that feared it).

• Owning an obedient vulture: Will wield tremendous power, which will enable the dreamer to dominate if not the whole world, at least part of it. He will even subdue the king or a similar authority.

• Roaming about amid open graves: Will enter the homes of heretics or visit the jails.

• Going to a grave and digging the earth with one’s nails or trying to unearth the dead: Will probe the life of the dead dwelling in that grave to follow his pattern.

• Finding a dead person alive in his grave: Will become wise and pious and achieve orderly gains.

• Going to a graveyard to unearth the dead and finding some of them alive and others not: Terrible deaths will occur in that spot or country.

• Finding deadly reptiles or insects in a grave or flames coming out of it: 
(1) The dreamer is doing abominable things.  (2) The dead person in that grave was a heretic.

• Shedding blood after being scratched by a cat or losing an eye to its claws: Beware of an implacable enemy!

• Selling a cat: The dreamer will spend his money.

• Eating cat meat: Will learn magic.

• Turning into a cat: Will earn one’s living through illicit practices and theft.

• A cat entering one’s house: A robber will break in. Whatever is taken away by the cat will be stolen by the burglar.

• Acquiring cat meat or grease: Will get money from a thief or obtain something stolen.

• Fighting a cat that bites or scratches the dreamer in the process: Long illness or deep trouble followed by relief. If the cat was overwhelmed, recovery will come faster. The reverse is also true.

• A cat and a mouse getting along with each other, as in the case of the wolf and the sheep: 
(1) Hypocrisy.  (2) No more fear of the enemy.  (3) The ruler will be just to his subjects. 
(4) The world will turn upside-down.

• Seeing a civet cat: A man of contradictions, combining high virtue and an evil character.

• 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.

• Seeing someone washing the clothes of a dead person: The washer will do something good for the deceased.

• Washing the dead with pure or holy water: The person seen dead will become poor, but more virtuous.

• Being washed with impure liquids and soap or rather soiled with them: The dreamer is a libertine who fails to observe religious tenets and will be lost more and more while his tyranny will increase.

• A dead person being washed with irrelevant or prohibited items: He is a religiously corrupt person preaching the senseless, unuseful, and irrational.

• Lying on a mortuary washing table: Promotion and the end of worries.

• Seeing a person’s grave being turned into a house, a shop, or a village: The family of the defunct will build a house there.

• Dreaming of entering a grave without being carried on a bier: Will buy an empty house.

• Standing by a grave: Will commit a sin, in view of a verse in the Holy Quran that reads: “And never 
(O Muhammad) pray for one of them who dieth, nor stand by his grave. Lo! they disbelieved in Allah and His messenger, and they died while they were evildoers.” 
(“Al-Taubah” [Repentance], verse 84.)

• Standing by one’s grave and looking at it: Will repent and sins will be forgiven.

• Seeing a well-off person roaming about in a graveyard: That person will go broke 
(because the dead do not carry any money).

• A sick or troubled person going down the staircase:  (1) If he lands in a place he knows such as his house or on chopped straw or anything that alludes to the riches of this world: The dreamer will recover. 
(2) If he lands in an unknown place, in a well or a hole, or among dead people he knew or on a palanquin or a saddle of a
travelling animal, et cetera, or on a ship that immediately sets sail, or in front of a ferocious lion that devours him or a bird that carries him away: The dreamer will die and the steps represent the days left in his life.

The swallow or swift, which the Arabs literally call paradise bird, is a blessed man or a blessed woman belonging to someone. It could also refer to a young boy who reads the Holy Quran properly. Other interpretations include a devout individual who fears God and is nice to others, a man of letters, or a person who comes to others  rescue.
It is a good augury for future actions, especially for the planting of trees.

• Seeing its leaves or some of them falling: Annihilation.

• Seeing the name of a person written on one of the leaves of Sidratul Muntaha turning yellow: That person is about to die. If the leaf falls, he will die very fast or he is already dead.

• Seeing Sidratul Muntaha bare, without any leaves:  (1) Bad omen. 
(2) Good or bad things will be over for the dreamer, owing to the name of the tree in Arabic, which comprises the word muntaha, meaning “ultimate” or “end.”

By Allah, though I am Allah's Apostle, I neither know what will happen to me, nor to you.'" Um Al-'Ala said, "By Allah, I will never attest the righteousness of anybody after that." She added, "Later I saw in a dream, a flowing spring for 'Uthman. So I went to Allah's Apostle and mentioned that to him.

By Allah, in spite of the fact that I am Allah's Apostle, I do not know what Allah will do to me.", Um Al-'Ala added, "By Allah, I will never attest the righteousness of anybody after that." (Bukhari)

If one sees a nice bird sitting over his neck in a dream, it means benefits or an alibi. If it is not a gentle bird, then it becomes a bad omen or a rebuke. If one sees a necklace, a rope, a wire or a thread wrapped around his neck in a dream, it means fulfilling a promise, acquiring knowledge, status and honored. (Also see Body)
