Seeing “seeing dead mother with dead animals”
in your dream

• Seeing many date palms in a garden or a fertile land and taking their fruits: Will obtain money from honest and noble people.

• A dead person sitting on top of a tree or owning one:

• If the tree is big and beautiful, the dead man is in Paradise.

• If the tree seen in the dream is ugly and full of thorns or black and filthy, like the Zachum oil tree or the thorn tree, he is being tortured in Hell.

• Sucking the breast of any human or animal and getting any liquid, be it good or bad: Will obtain money. If the organ sucked was other than the breast, the dreamer is after something difficult and success would be proportionate to the quantity of liquid pumped out.

• According to Al-Kirmani, quoted by Ibn Shaheen, liquid being sucked from any organ means money. However, milk from a comestible animal is blessed money; from an animal whose meat is uneatable or prohibited it is dirty money.

• In case what comes out from the sucked organ is solid matter: Bad omen. But if such matter was moving and lively, a child would be born to the dreamer.

• Someone trying to suck milk from the dreamer’s hands: Will go to jail. In any case, bad dream for both.

• Someone sucking the dreamer’s nose: Will take money from his pocket.

• Someone sucking the dreamer’s thigh: Will take money from his folk.

• Sucking water: Things will go wrong.

In a dream, any glass by-products represent people of knowledge, scholars, Gnostics, sages or people of wisdom. Buying a glittering glass ornament, or a house made of mother of pearl in a dream means choosing the pleasures of this world over the everlasting joy of the hereafter, or it could mean disdaining to obey Allah's commands, or it could mean becoming an apostate. A drinking glass cup in a dream represents a woman. Receiving a glass of water in a dream means that one's wife is pregnant. An unknown kind of glass cup or a roughly cut drinking glass of water in a dream means that there is a fetus in the mother's womb. If the glass of water breaks and the water remains in the dream, it means that the mother may die after giving birth and the infant will survive. If the water spills and the glass remains intact in the dream, it means that the fetus may die and the mother will survive. The breaking of a glass in a dream also denotes the death of the one who is serving it. If a sick person is given a glass of wine, or water, or a bitter apple drink, or a laxative in a dream such a drink represents his last cup. (Also see Glass blower; Glass bottle)

• 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.

(Hairdresser) A barber in a dream represents a person who benefits the meek and the poor, though he harms the rich. A barber, or a sheep shearing person also represents a corrupt police officer, or a street gang leader who taxes local businesses. If shearing the animal is necessary, then the dream will mean comfort and benefits for both the man and the animal. (Also see Hairdresser)

A piper in a dream also represents an Obituarist, an announcer of a murder, someone who exposes an adulterer, or one who uncovers a secret prostitution ring and exposes it leaders. A piper in a dream also may denote one's anus. An unknown piper in a dream means suffering from a venereal disease. A piper in a dream also could represent a mourner, a good mother, or perhaps a bad mother who is bereaved of her child.

(Mother) A physician in a dream represents a wise man, or a religious doctor. A physician in a dream also represents a scholar, and a scholar in a dream represents a physician. If one sees a physician examining him in a dream, it means an improvement in his health condition. If one sees a religious scholar advising him in a dream, it means that hypocrisy and doubt will be dispelled from his heart. A physician in a dream also represents one's mother, or he could be an opponent, or an adversary. The death of one's physician in a dream means the death of one's mother. If a sick person sees a physician visiting him in a dream, it means that he will recover from his illness.

• Piercing beautifully shaped and lined up pearls: Will interpret the Holy Quran in a correct manner.

• Piercing a pearl with a wooden nail: Will make love to a prohibited relative.
A man told Ibn Siren he dreamed that he was piercing a pearl.
“Do you know your mother?” the interpreter asked.
“No, she was taken captive when I was a small child.”
“Have you recently bought a slave?”
“Yes.”
“Do you sleep with her?”
“Yes.”
“Then fear God, for she is that mother.”

• Finding a big pearl: Plenty of money.

If he is a war captured prisoner, it means that he will be set free. If he is a leader, it means that his sovereignty will widen. Slaughtering someone in a dream means being unjust toward him. Slaughtering a pigeon in a dream means getting married. Cutting a piece of flesh from one's backside in a dream means that he engages in sodomy. If one finds himself slaughtered but does not know who killed him in the dream, it means that he is an innovator, or it could mean that he will forge a testimony. Murdering one's own father or mother in a dream means disobeying them or assaulting them and becoming damned. To slaughter a woman in a dream means adultery, or eliciting sexual intercourse with her. To slaughter a fowl or the female of any bird or animal in dream means deflowering a young girl. To slaughter a son in a dream means that such a son is ruthless and unjust toward his parents. If one kills himself in a dream, it means that he married a woman who is unlawful to him. (Also see Slaughter house)

(Jihad).  (3) If the dead man on the bier is identified, it means that man in particular.

The donkey symbolizes man’s endeavours and luck, commensurate with its weight and size. Only the braying of that animal is seen as a bad omen.

• A tall donkey: Man’s prestige.

• A beautiful donkey: The dreamer will look better.

One palm tree is a reliable and powerful friend. It could also refer to an honest woman famous for her charity. The palm branches or leaves symbolize more children and progeny. They could also allude to women’s hair. Its clusters mean money in view of the Quranic verses: “And lofty date-palms with ranged clusters, provision 
(made) for men; and therewith We quicken a dead land. Even so will be the resurrection of the dead.” 
(“Qa,” verses 10–11.)

(2) If a craftsman or a manufacturer, will encounter hurdles that will prevent him from carrying on his work. 
(3) If poor, will find someone who will feed and take care of him.  (4) If rich, the wealth will not be kept or someone else will manage the dreamer’s fortune, like a child who must be under the tutelage of an adult. 
(5) If married, wife will no longer conceive.  (6) If wife is pregnant, will give birth to a boy who will resemble the dreamer.

• 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.

The lion is a ruler, a tyrant, or a powerful and very dangerous person, in view of the ferocity and devastating anger of that animal. It also symbolizes the warrior, the swindler, the thief, the treacherous worker, the policeman, the insatiable enemy, and perhaps hardships and death, because he who stares at it turns pale, loses his self-control, and is as good as dead, says Ibn
Siren. Furthermore, it represents the ruler who embezzles public funds and commits injustice and the lurking enemy.
The lioness symbolizes the daughter of a king. The baby lion  (lion’s whelp or cub) is a boy.
A man told Ibn Siren, “I dreamed that I was embracing and nursing a baby lion.”
When the great seer looked at him, saw his humble appearance and miserable garments, and understood that he could not be eligible for any
honour, he said, “What could you possibly have to do with the children of princes?!” and he added, “Is your wife, by chance, breast-feeding the son of a prince?”
“Yes,” was the reply.

• Being sodomized by an animal: The dreamer will be over chivalrous.

• Having sex with or sodomizing an unknown mammal or bird: Victory over an enemy and the dreamer will unduly wrench financial benefits from the vanquished.

• Having sex with or sodomizing an identified animal: The dreamer will be good to an undeserving party and should not expect a reward.

• Having sex with or sodomizing one’s male slave, subordinate, subject, or nation: Escape from trouble and increase in property and wealth 
(or realm, if the dreamer is a king or a ruler). Or perhaps the dreamer will have more children. The reverse means that the dreamer is underestimated, disregarded, or taken lightly, especially if in the dream he was sodomized by his slave or servant.

The jackal is a man who denies people their rights or stands in their way. It is one of the animals that, according to religious belief, were once human beings before undergoing being cursed. The same interpretation as for the fox applies, but to a lesser degree.

The Christians say Jesus is the Son of God. Again God says in the Holy Quran: “Allah hath not chosen any son, nor is there any God along with Him” 
(“Al-Muminun” [The Believers], verse 91.)  (11) Christians will appear in the dreamer’s life. 
(12) Will be accused, though innocent.  (13) Someone will lie to the dreamer or his mother. 
(14) Good tidings, because Jesus predicted the advent of the Holy Prophet.
