Seeing “walk reverse”
in your dream

• A kind of snake coming out of one’s anus: Estranged children.

• A snake coming out of the dreamer’s collar or anus and going into the earth: The dreamer’s time is over.

• A snake coming out of the dreamer’s ear, belly, vagina, or anus: Will commit a sin and give up religious faith or the dreamer’s children might turn inimical.

• According to Is Haq Ibrahim ibn Abdullah Al-Kirmani, another authority on dreams quoted by Ibn Shaheen, the sight of the anus augurs well for the dreamer. More, if a nice smell is coming out of the anus, it means that people are praising the hero of the dream. The reverse is also true.

If one sees himself turning in his sleep and putting his face down, or resting on his stomach in a dream, it means that he will turn away from his faith and lose both his earnings in this world and in the hereafter. If one sees the reverse, which is turning from resting on one's stomach to lying on his back in a dream, it means that he will repent for his sins. It also represents his willingness to face the people and to correct his wrongdoing. If the subject is a woman, then sleeping on her stomach in a dream means that she is refusing to sleep with her husband. (Also see Running away; Take a flight; Sleep)

The hair symbolizes money, long life, prestige, and religion. But the dream has different interpretations depending on who has made it. Shaving one’s head is a good dream for someone who usually does it. The reverse is also true. For a warrior it means that he will fall in action and become a war martyr.

• A fighter seeing his own hair: Prosperity, protection, and awe.

• A rich person seeing his hair: His own wealth.

• A poor person seeing his hair: His sins.
The better and the more beautiful the hair, the more dignity and pride are enhanced.

• Dreaming that one’s hair has become curly: Will rise in life and become prosperous.

• Dreaming that one’s curly hair has become soft and limp: Will be lost and things will take a turn for the worse.

If the king is seen walking alone in the markets in a dream, it means that he is a humble, just, and a strong ruler. A sick king in a dream represents weakness in his faith and injustice toward his subjects. If the king is carried over people's shoulders in a dream, it means lack of faith and lack of attendance to one's religious obligations, or weakness in his ruling. If the king dies and does not get buried in a dream, it means that the king and his subjects are deviates. If he is buried and the people walk away from his grave in the dream, it means that one will pursue something of no benefit, unless Allah Almighty decrees otherwise. If one sees the king's head transformed into a ram's head in a dream, it means that the king is a just and a kind ruler. If his head is transformed into a dog's head in the dream, then it represents his vile nature. If his chest turns into a stone in the dream, it means that his heart will become like a rock.

If one sees angels descending upon a cemetery in a dream, it signifies the presence of blessed and righteous souls in that place. If one sees angels walking in the markets in a dream, it means that the merchants are trifling with prices and playing with the measures. If the angels who are in charge of punishing the sinner in hell walk before a dying person and he does not fear them in the dream, it means peace and tranquillity. If one sees the angels teaching a dying person how to recite his final rites in a dream, it means glad tidings and attainment of what his heart desires, a guarantee of his safety, happiness, joy and of having a blessed and a good heart. If he sees them angry with him or beating him or subduing and taming him in a dream, it means that he may revert to sin, earn the displeasure of his parents, disdain from complying with Allah's commands, or he could even come to deny the necessity of Allah's religion. Such angels in a dream also represent the emissaries of a governor or his deputies.

Beating someone with a leather belt or with a cane in a dream means bad consequences in wakefulness. Hitting the floor in a dream means taking a trip. If one receives one hundred lashes on his back in a dream, it means that he has committed adultery, or it could mean that he has the intention to do so. If one receives forty lashes in a dream, it means that he indulges in drinking alcohol or uses intoxicants. If he is lashed eighty times in a dream, it means that he slanders married women. If he is whipped by a deceased person in the dream, it means that he is pursuing wrong ideas and should reverse his course, for a deceased person dwells in the kingdom of truth and follows only what pleased Allah Almighty.

• Borrowing a ring: The dreamer will own something that will not last.

• Taking a ring from a king:
A house the dreamer enters, dwells in, or owns. The stone is the gate or door of that house.
A girl or a woman whom the dreamer marries and whose ring-shaped vagina he will deflower by introducing “the finger of his belly” 
(penis) in it. The stone represents her face.

• Wearing the king’s ring:  (1) The dreamer will be given a province. 
(2) The dreamer will succeed his father.  (3) In case the dreamer has no father or if his father is dead, the reverse of what he wishes will happen or he will be given a useless province.

• A ruler dreaming that his ring has been taken away from him by force: 
(1) Will be deposed.  (2) Will divorce.

• A woman dreaming that sesame is coming out of her vagina: Her husband is concealing his love for her.

• Bread coming out of a woman’s vagina: Bankruptcy, poverty, and need, no matter how good or beautiful the vagina looks in the dream.

• A person dreaming that a scented smell is exuding from her vagina: That person is candid. The reverse is also true.

• An iron, brass, or bronze vagina: Despair after failing to achieve the objectives being sought.

• Seeing an animal sucking, licking, or roaming around a woman’s vulva: The woman in question is a debauched and unworthy one. If the woman is unidentified, the dream does not augur well for the dreamer; it could mean that he is losing his brain for worldly matters.

• Hair growing on a man’s body: His wife will get pregnant.

• A troubled person dreaming of having too much hair on his body: Will have even more trouble.

• A happy person dreaming of having a very hairy body: More happiness and wealth. The reverse is also true.

• Having hair on both arms: Debts.

• Hair on the palm: Debts and sorrow.

• Hair on the back of the hand: Money will go.

• More hair on the body of a rich person: More money.

• Excessive hair on the body of a poor man: A debt will complicate matters even further.

• A rich person removing the hair of his body: Will be despoiled of his money.

• If the earring is coupled with a sword: The dreamer will have a girl child. If the dreamer is a pregnant woman, she will give birth to a boy.

• A man wearing a twisted silver ring: Good deed. Unlike the case of a golden ring.

• Wearing a silver ring: Great joy and comfortable living.

• A silver girdle, belt, or sash: Justice will prevail in the area, as mintaqa in Arabic is used both for belt and district.

• Wearing anklets made of silver, especially a colored one: The dreamer will renew a deal with one’s brothers to regret it later on or perhaps will use a whip.

• Wearing or bearing any silver ornament with something carved on it: Welfare. If it is just plated, the benefit will be less; if it is plain, the reverse should apply.

• 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

• A man dreaming that the hair on his forefront has been dispersed: Will suffer temporary humiliation.

• A white-haired man dreaming that his hair was sprinkled: Will have an ordeal. In case the hair on the right side was dispersed, he would suffer at the hands of male relatives. The left side refers to the female kind. If he has no relatives, he will harm himself.

• Shaving one’s hed or cutting one’s hair short: A good dream for ordinary or poor men, meaning victory, the settlement of debts, and relief, especially if it had been done to perform a pilgrimage. However, such a dream made by a leader would mean the reverse. If he had shaved his head in any other season than that of the pilgrimage, it means that he will be deposed in a scandal and become poor. Likewise, the same dream for a rich man would mean that his wealth will decrease.

The same interpretation is given if one sees a prophet or a holy man walking out of his grave alive. To be buried after death, after sunrise, at noon or at the sunset hour in a dream means that one is being warned about doing what is good and abstaining from what is evil. To be buried alive in a dream is wrong and means betrayal. It could also mean marriage, prosperity or peace and tranquillity after suffering and hardships. If one sees a deceased person burying him alive in a dream, it means that one's due debts are not paid, or that one will be imprisoned to satisfy his debts, or that his collateral was not accepted. To bury a dead person twice means that one is covering his faults. If one sees a deceased person burying another deceased person in a dream, it means unity, clearing of the hearts, love and friendship between relatives, or perhaps it could mean imprisonment, marriage, a sickness, a trust, or guaranteeing a loan. Seeing oneself being buried after death in a dream means that one needs to repent before death. Should he still walk alive from his burial in the dream, it means that he may repent again. Allah knows best. (Also see Cemetery; Grave)

• An old house crumbling on the dreamer: Will inherit.

• The apartments of a house or rooms of an apartment symbolize the dreamer’s women.

• According to Christian dream interpreters, says Ibn Siren, sweeping the floor of one’s house means deep worries or sudden death. Others think it is the reverse.

• A house being demolished: Its owner will die.

• Buying a new house: Plenty of welfare.

• One’s house larger than usual: More well-being and fertility. And the dreamer will enjoy welfare through a woman.

• Carving or decorating a house: Quarrels and rivalry will take place in that house.

• Demolishing a new house: Evil and worries.

• Being in a new, unknown plastered house in an isolated area and hearing some evil talk: A reference to the dreamer’s grave.

• Being kept prisoner in a house in a residential area whose doors are all locked: Welfare and good health.

The person’s head is the imam or Muslim spiritual leader, his chief, his capital, or his
endeavours. It also symbolizes his parents and his children if they are alive. Moreover, it symbolizes the mind or the brain.
Any disease in the head applies to the dreamer’s chief.

• The imam seeing his head bigger than usual: Abundance and more power.

• An ordinary person seeing his head bigger than usual: More dignity. The reverse is also true.

• The imam seeing himself with a ram head: He will be fair and just.

• The imam seeing himself with a dog head: He will be a tyrant and treat his subjects foolishly.

• A person whose parents or children are alive dreaming of having been beheaded: Bad omen.

• The same dream made by a person who is afraid or condemned to death: A good dream, because you only die once.

• 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.

• Riding in a vessel or being picked up by a vessel in the middle of the sea after being sure of drowning: 
(1) Will be saved from disease, atheism, poverty, debts, and worries.  (2) Will get married or buy a slave girl who will satisfy you and save you the trouble of looking outside. 
(3) Will be freed from jail, unless the ship was not sailing, which would mean exactly the reverse.

• Sailing in a ship with the dead: Will be saved from fleshly temptations.

• Sailing in a vessel on the high seas: Will embark on a journey full of dangers. The farther the ship is from the shore, the more remote the dreamer’s relief will be.

• Reaching the shore and disembarking from the vessel: The dreamer will disobey God, in view of the Quranic verse: “And when they mount upon the ships they pray to Allah, making their faith pure for Him only, but when He bringeth them safe to land, behold! they ascribe partners 
(unto Him).”  (“Al-Ankabut” [The spider], verse 65.)

• Hanging upside-down in front of a crowd: The dreamer has done something wrong, feels sorry about it, and is repenting, but will live long, in view of a verse in the Holy Quran: “He whom We bring unto old age, We reverse him in creation 
(making him go back to weakness after strength). Have ye then no sense?”  (“Ya-Sin,” verse 68.)

• One’s head being reversed:  (1) If planning a trip, there will be a hindrance, but the trip will take place at a later time. 
(2) If already abroad, will return to the homeland but a bit late, unintentionally.

• A cold sore and pain in the head or neck: An epidemic will strike the people.

• Seeing oneself with a dog head, a donkey head, a horse head, or the head of any domestic animal: Will suffer from vexation, trouble, fatigue, and servitude.

• Seeing oneself with the head of an elephant, a lion, a tiger, or a wolf: The dreamer is handling matters beyond his capacity or surpassing himself, but not without success, and he will rise to the top and subdue his enemies.

The horse symbolizes power, authority, and prosperity. Its tail represents the offspring and grandchildren.

• Riding on a tamed horse that goes slowly and perfectly under the horseman’s command: Will enjoy power, authority, prestige, dignity, and wealth as much as the horse was obedient in the dream. Tying up a horse would have the same meaning.

• The longer the horse’s tail, the more followers the rider has in real life. The reverse applies, in case the tail was cut off, for example. Every part, every limb, of the horse represents a division of similar importance working under the ruler.

• The horse bolting  (taking the bit between its teeth), making it impossible for the horseman to control it: The latter will commit a sin or face a catastrophe inasmuch as the horse was difficult to stop. In other words, it could mean that the dreamer would be carried away by his own whims and passions. It is all the more so if the horse was spoilt as a result of good treatment, dissatisfied, or violent.

  (Also see Dye.) Fingers are the brother’s children, since it is believed that the hand represents the brother. Those of the right hand refer to the Muslims  five compulsory daily prayers. The left hand fingers are the children of the brother or sister.
The thumb is the dawn prayer, the index finger the noon prayer, the middle finger the early afternoon prayer, the ring finger, the sunset prayer, and the little finger the evening prayer.

• Having long fingers: The dreamer observes his religious duties, especially prayer. The reverse is also true.

• The imam  (the Muslims  spiritual leader) having long fingers: He is too greedy, tyrannical, and unfair to his subjects.

• A finger falling: Will abandon the related prayer.

• Seeing one finger in the place of another: The dreamer is performing the right prayer at the wrong time.

• Biting somebody’s fingertips: The bitten one is impolite, but the dreamer is inflicting too severe a punishment on him.
