Seeing “dead grandfather money”
in your dream

Negligence or lack of concern in a dream is a bad omen for a regular person, and it means injustice for a person in authority. If one sees an unknown old man treating him without the proper attention or with neglect in the dream, it means poverty, and the old man in the dream could represent his grandfather.

• 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.

• Marrying a resuscitated woman, abstaining from touching her, but settling in her house: Will die.

• 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 the others not: A bloodbath will take place in that spot or country.

• A pharaoh resuscitating and ruling a country: Tyranny or corruption will prevail and the people’s condition will deteriorate.

• A horseman dreaming of flying: Good horsemanship.

• Dreaming of flying on a stretcher, a litter, a bed, or the like:  (1) Legs will be affected by a severe ailment. 
(2) Will become very ill.  (3) Will die.

• A dead person flying: Will escape danger.

• A bier flying and people with it:  (1) A chief or a scholar will die without anybody knowing about it. 
(2) A great man will die in a foreign land, during a pilgrimage, or in a battle for the sake of Allah 
(Jihad).  (3) If the dead man on the bier is identified, it means that man in particular.

• Making love to one’s mother known to be dead in the dream: Will meet her if she is alive.

• Making love to one’s dead mother: The dreamer will die, because mother is synonym for earth.

• Having sex with one’s mother in her grave: Death.

• A traveller dreaming that he is making love to his mother: Will return to her from his journey.

• A poor man or a person whose mother is wealthy dreaming that he is having sex with her: 
(1) Will obtain all that he wishes from her.  (2) She will die and he will inherit from her.

• A sick man dreaming of having sex with his mother: Will recover.

• Making love to one’s living mother:  (1) Will be inimical to the father. 
(2) If the father is ill: The father will die and the son will look after his mother as a son and a husband. 
(3) If the son is hostile to his mother: She will show him love and affection. 
(4) The dreamer is good-natured, for nature is the mother of mankind.  (5) If the son is involved in a feud over some property or a piece of land and is trying to purchase it: He will win. 
(6) If the son is a farmer or peasant: Bad omen, because he would be sowing the seeds in the dead earth where they would not grow.

It could also refer to an honest man who brings back to the right path many people who had gone astray or were misleading others.

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

• One or more dead persons requesting the dreamer to wash their clothes: The dreamer is requested to recall God, pray for someone, give sadaqa, or alms, settle a debt, satisfy an adversary, or carry out a will.

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

• Pork: Likewise, it means sinful money.

• Dry meat: Slandering the dead.

• Camel meat:  (1) Money and other benefits from the supreme authority. 
(2) Money from a giant man and powerful enemy, as long as the dreamer had not touched it. If he had, it would mean the reverse. Eating it cooked means the dreamer will unjustly eat the wealth of another person, fall ill, then recover.

• Seeing skinned mutton in one’s house, cut in slices: Will contact people never known or seen before and get invited or invite them, and to the dreamer’s delight, they will prove to be real brothers. If such meat was skinned but not in slices, that means sudden tragedy or the death of someone whom the dreamer would inherit from in case the mutton was fat; otherwise he would not inherit anything.

• Eating chicken:  (1) Benefits from the female side.  (2) Patience for the nervous. 
(3) Healing.  (4) The end of worries and sorrow.  (5) Money from foreign sources.

• Eating monkey meat:  (1) Terrible worries or ailments.  (2) Will obtain new clothes.

• Conversely, marrying a religiously prohibited relative  (wife’s sister, for example) who is alive and well: Will not support parents and in-laws.

• A woman dreaming of a dead man marrying and penetrating her: Her wealth will shrink, she will suffer from instability, and her luck will change. If the dead man took her to his home, which she had not seen before, she would die.

• Marrying a woman who then dies: Will endeavour in a matter, only to reap nothing but sorrow.

• Marrying a woman of a different faith: Will have a spouse who will induce you into a sinful or unlawful experiment or to apostasy.

• A man dreaming of someone dreaming of him that he is having sex with his mother, sister, brother, or similar prohibited relations, seen as dead in the dream: He is not sustaining them as he should, but will change his attitude and be fair to them. It could also mean trouble or worries or, on the contrary, benefit to both parties. If they are alive, it means the reverse and that he does not have much affection for them. In case, according to his dream, the act took place during the Muslims  sacred months, he would go to
Mecca (Makkah) for the pilgrimage.

• An identified dead person making love to a living one: The latter will get some benefit from a bequest of the heirs of the former, be it material or otherwise.

• Resuscitating someone: Will help an atheist become a Muslim or a debauchee repent, or the dreamer will simply repent.

• One’s grandfather or grandmother resuscitating: Revival of efforts and luck, as the word for grandparent in Arabic is a homonym of
endeavour.

• One’s father or mother resuscitating: Relief from worries.  (The dream involving the father is more likely to come true.)

• Resuscitation of a son: Emergence of a most unexpected enemy.

• Resuscitation of a daughter: Relief and satisfaction.

If one's partner in the dream is an unknown old person, then he represents his grandfather and such a year will be a prosperous business year for him. If one's partner in the dream is a young man, then he represents an enemy, or it could mean that his opponent will be fair in dealing with him, though the person in the dream will remain suspicious but cannot legally dissolve his partnership. Partnership in a dream also means sincerity, loyalty, truthfulness and fulfilling one's agreement.

• 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

(Flour; Moving around in a circle) In a dream, a miller represents a selfish person who is particularly interested in acquiring worldly gains and at whatever price it may cost. If one sees an old man being a miller in a dream, the old man here represents his grandfather, or one's bosom friend and consequently one will prosper and become extremely wealthy from his business. If the miller is a young and a strong man in the dream, then he represents a strong helper. A bakery miller in a dream means that one will attain his own goals through hard work.

• Failing to reach the desired destination: A change for the worse.

• Using a stick or a perch to jump: That stick or perch symbolizes an extremely powerful person or a strong asset on whom the dreamer could rely in whatever he aims for.

• Jumping to cross a river, a pit, or a well, et cetera, and succeeding: A change for the better and will be saved from some evil and reach the safe shore very quickly.

• Jumping but staying late in that jump till withering away: Will die.

• The dead jumping out of their graves and returning to their homes:  (1) Prisoners will be released. 
(2) Plants will grow again after they were dead in that place.

• A donkey that goes along well or keeps the pace: The best of this world.

• A saddled donkey: A child with a golden spoon  (born and living in prosperity).

• A donkey with a long tail: The dreamer’s empire or tradition will be preserved by his successors.

• Death of a donkey: The owner will die, will be isolated, or will lose his money and his business or his shop will be destroyed or he will be ousted from it. Otherwise, the slave who serves him or his father or grandfather who supported him will pass away, his
endeavours will fade, or his master, who was under his spell will die, sell him, or go away. For a woman, her husband will divorce her, die, move away, or travel and leave her behind.

• A donkey whose owner is unknown and which, instead of obeying, keeps braying: An ignorant and loud person in view of a verse of the Holy Quran that reads as follows: “Be modest in thy bearing and subdue thy voice. Lo! the harshest of all voices is the voice of the ass.” 
(“Surat Luqman,” verse 19.) According to the ancient Arabs, it could also be a reference to Jews: “The likeness of those who are entrusted with the Law of Moses, yet apply it not, is as the likeness of the ass carrying books. Wretched is the likeness of folk who deny revelations of Allah. And Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.” 
(“Surat Al-Jumuah” [The Congregation], verse 5.)

Saleh is an Arab prophet from the tribe of Thamud whose folk are named after their grandfather Thamud, brother of Jeddis. Their father was Aather ibn 
(son of) Aram ibn Sam ibn Nuh  (Hoah). They came from Areba and lived in Al-Hijr, between Al-Hijaz and Tabuk. The Muslims  Holy Prophet passed by them when he was on his way to Tabuk. Their traces can be found in Saudi Arabia in a place called Madain 
(the cities of) Saleh. The story of the Prophet Saleh is related in the chapter called “Al-Aaraf’ 
(The Heights) in the Holy Quran.

(Casket; Coffin; Mummy case) A dead person or a mummy inside a sarcophagus in a dream represents unlawful money. If the coffin is empty in the dream, then it represents a house of evil, or an evil person who is sought by people of the same trade. (Also see Coffin)

According to my grandfather, the late Mr. Mahmoud Fahim of Egypt, a master magician and an authority on the subject, as quoted by Dr. Paul Brunton: “…
jinn's are native inhabitants of the spirit world who have never possessed a human body. Some of them are just like animals, others are as shrewd as men. There are also evil
jinn's … who are used by low sorcerers, especially by the African witch doctors … they are dangerous servants and will sometimes turn treacherously on the man who is using them and kill him.”36
The jinn's have their own realm, whose doctors, for instance, are called Maymoun and Abanos. They are said sometimes to perform surgery. Ata is a good friend who answers queries and might appear, when invoked, in European or Arab dress or clad as a sheikh. 
(It is not advisable to engage in such practices.)

The key symbolizes access to learning, especially the Holy Quran. It also means benefits, a safe, blessings, and support. Keys could refer as well to children, boys, messengers, money and the piercing of mysteries, or the pilgrimage to
Mecca (Makkah). Other interpretations include the man and the woman, the former penetrating the latter like the key in the keyhole, the wrapped up baby, and the dead in his grave.

• Holding a key: God will respond to the dreamer’s prayers.

• Seizing a key: Will find a treasure or make a fortune from agriculture. If the dreamer is already a rich person, this dream is a reminder that he should pay his religious dues and be good to the needy.

• Being crucified alive: Dignity, honour, and religious righteousness.

• Being crucified and dead: Prestige coupled with corrupt religious faith.

• Being crucified and killed or after being killed: Prestige, but the dreamer will be lied to.

• Being crucified without remembering when that happened:  (1) Lost money will come back. 
(2) If the dreamer is poor, will get rich.  (3) Bad omen for the rich 
(according to some interpreters).  (4) Poverty, because a person is crucified naked. 
(5) Will have a safe sea journey, because the cross is made of wood and resembles the helm.
