Seeing “dead eating fish”
in your dream

A person asked Ibn Sirin (RA): “What is your opinion regarding a person who had dreamed that he borke an egg and ate its white only and not its yolk?” The Imaam said: “Bring me the man who had seen the dream so that he personally relates to me his dream. I will answer him.” The man said. “No, do answer me: I will convey your interpretation to him”. The Imaam refused. He insisted several times and the Imaam refused the same number of times, finally he said under Oath: “My Lord, By Allah, it is I who had seen the dream”.

He will become prosperous.

If Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu-Alayhi-wasallam) is seen eating (something) it means he is urging his Ummah to discharge Za-kaah.

• Eating one’s own flesh: Abundance and tremendous power are in store.

• Eating the flesh of a tortured person  (crucified, hung, et cetera): Will obtain money from a wanted individual. It could also mean redemption and/or vengeance.

• Eating the flesh of one’s enemy: Will triumph over him.

• Eating the flesh of a dead person: Will speak ill of the dead, in view of a verse in the Holy Quran that says: “O ye who believe! Shun much suspicion; for lo! some suspicion is a sin. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? …” 
(“Al-Hujurat” [The Private Apartments], verse 12.)

Eating a fish in a dream means easy, lawful and enjoyable earnings. Cooked or broiled fowl meat in a dream means profits and money earned from a woman through deception and dishonesty. If it is uncooked in the dream, then it means backbiting or slandering a woman. Eating the meat of an unlawful bird in a dream means deceiving, defrauding, or stealing money from unjust people. Eating swan's meat in a dream means benefits drawn from pious and religious people. Eating fired or broiled chicks in a dream means hard earned money. Unknown meat in a dream represents the hidden treasures of past nations, or buried treasures. (Also see Butcher; Flesh; Mutton; Pot)

(Fresh seafood) A fresh fish salesman in a dream represents a jeweler, one who earns lawful money, knowledge, strive, trickery, exposing secrets or defamation. To buy a fresh fish in a dream also may mean getting married. (Also see Seafood restaurant)

Dates symbolize the reading of the Holy Quran, good religious faith, rain, general and honest welfare, and savings.

• Eating high-quality dates: Will hear something good and useful.

• Buying dates: Will save money or receive money from some safe or treasury.

• Opening a date and removing its pit: Will have a child, in view of a verse in the Holy Quran: “Lo! Allah 
(it is) Who splitteth the grain of corn and the date-stone  (for sprouting). He bringeth forth the living from the dead, and is The bringer-forth of the dead from the living. Such is Allah. How then are ye perverted?” 
(“Al-Anam” [Cattle], verse 95.)

• Eating dates with tar: Will divorce secretly.

• The dead giving the dreamer an old robe: The latter will become poor and miserable.

• The dead giving the dreamer a new robe: The latter will become rich and powerful.

• Holding one’s Arab robe and telling a dead person, “Take this and sew it,” or, “wash it,” without the cloth leaving the dreamer’s hand or becoming the property of the dead: Trouble, hardships, and depression. If the dead had taken and worn it, the dreamer would die.

• Sodomizing a dead man or a woman dreaming that a dead person had made love to her: Benefits from an undesirable source, the same as the dead are undesirable sex partners.

• Sodomizing an identified dead man: Will do something good in memory of the latter, such as offering prayers, et cetera.

• Having incestuous sex or making love to a prohibited dead relation: Again, will pray for, give alms in memory of, or visit that relative’s grave.

• Making love to one’s mother seen dead in the dream: Will meet her if she is alive. Having sex with her in the grave means death.

• Being kissed by an unidentified dead person: Will accept benefits or charity through an undesirable channel or way.

• Being kissed with intense sexual passion by a dead person, whether known or unknown: Matters will be settled the way you want.

• A patient dreaming that he is kissing a dead person: Will pass away.

• A healthy person kissing the dead: The statements the dreamer is making at this time are improper. He had better remain silent. 
(His words should stop, as the dead have ceased to exist.)

• The dead giving the dreamer something of what he is wearing and the former wearing it in turn: Deep trouble and an acute disease. If the cloth was left till the dead took it back, it means that the dreamer will quickly depart from this world.

• A dead person giving the dreamer a tailored cloth that does not belong to the former and the latter taking and wearing it, then returning it to the dead, who wears it in turn: Those who live under the dreamer’s roof will die unless he had not returned the cloth to the dead, in which case the dreamer’s wealth will increase.

• The dead giving the dreamer a tattered or dirty cloth: Will commit abominations.

• Giving a cloth to the dead, but the latter neither unfolding nor wearing it: Harm will befall the dreamer’s fortune or health, but recovery will follow.

• Taking off some clothes and giving them to the dead: Will die. If the dreamer recovers the clothes, it will be otherwise.

• Eating eggshells: The dreamer is a graverobber.

• Dreaming that wife has laid an egg: She will give birth to an atheist, in view of Quranic verses addressed to atheists and comprising examples of God’s might and miracles, such as: “… he bringeth forth the dead from the living” 
(“Al-Rum” [The Romans], verse 19.)

• Putting an egg under a hen that cracks to give way to chicks: A dead matter will be revived, and a pious son will be born to the dreamer or as many sons as there were chicks, in view of the Quranic expression in the same verse: “He bringeth forth the living from the dead….”

• Placing eggs under a cock, which is hatched to give chicks: A tutor will arrive for the young boys.

• Breaking an egg: Will deflower a virgin. If the dreamer fails to break it, he won’t be able to pierce the hymen.

• In the event of a kiss, it is the one who kisses who will benefit.

• Marrying and going into a dead woman: Will revive a dead matter as important as the deceased was beautiful. If the dreamer had not overwhelmed her or gone into her, the
fulfilment would not be perfect, as penetration is a higher state than simple touching.

• A woman dreaming of being wedded to a dead man who then goes into her at his or her place: Her wealth will shrink, her condition will worsen, and her life will be scattered. If the act took place at the dead man’s unknown residence, she will die.

• 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.

• 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.

See Slave. BONE.

• Entering a grave and stepping on the bones of the dead: Will be expelled.

• Scattering the bones of the dead: You are spending your money otherwise than in your interest.

• Gathering the bones of the dead: Money and other benefits.

• 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.

(Fish; Jonah; Sea life) In a dream, a whale represents an oath, the temple of righteous people and the prayer mat of the devotees. Seeing a whale in a dream also means strains, depression, loss of rank, or a growing anger. Seeing the whale which swallowed Allah's prophet Jonah (Alayhi-Salam) in a dream means dispelling one's fears, prosperity for a poor person and the coming relief for someone in distress. In a dream, a whale also represents the chief minister of sea life, while the ocean represents the king or the ruler. (Also see Fish)
