in your dream

• Eating raw gourd:  (1) Will have a quarrel and break with somebody. 
(2) Will be scared by a jinn.

• Sitting in the shadow of gourds:  (1) Reunion with family or friends. 
(2) Reconciliation.

• Getting gourds from a watermelon farm: Will heal from a disease, thanks to a medicine or a prayer, in view of the story of the prophet Yunus 
(Jonas) as related in the Holy Quran: “Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick; and We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him….” 
(“Al-Saffat” [Those Who Set the Ranks], verses 145–46.)

The Quran says: “The First House 
(of worship) appointed for men was that at Bakka  (Mecca (Makkah)): Full of blessings and of guidance for all kinds of beings. In it are Signs manifest; 
(for example), the Station of Abraham; whoever enters it attains security; pilgrimage thereto is a duty men owe to God” 
(“Al-Imran” [The Imran Family], verses 96–97.)

• Entering Maqam Ibrahim:  (1) Will be delivered from fear and feel secure.

(3) Will inherit from one’s father or mother.

If one sees himself carrying the scale to weigh his own deeds in a dream, it denotes his righteousness and correctness. If one sees an angel handing him his records and telling him to read his own book in the dream, it also means that he is on the right path. Walking on the bridge of the Day of Judgment, carrying one's own records and crying in a dream means that one is praying for Allah's forgiveness and to ease his reckoning. If one sees the Doomsday in a dream, it means that he will escape from dangerous enemies, or that perhaps a major trial will befall the dwellers of that place. If one crosses the Bridge of Judgement in a dream, it means that he will escape a major trial, or perhaps it could represent a major hurdle one may have to cross in this life.

Learning the Quran, the prophetic traditions, or a craft in a dream means richness after poverty, guidance after heedlessness, or marriage after celibacy. It also means begetting a son, or walking in the company of a spiritual guide. If one sees himself learning an evil act in a dream, it means that his is going astray, or that he is experiencing poverty after richness. (Also see Knowledge; School; Uncertainty)

A math teacher in a dream represents intellect and wisdom. Adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing in a dream represents common benefits and losses one incurs during the course of his life. A Quran teacher in a dream represents singing, honor or favors. An unknown teacher in a dream represents the Almighty Allah Himself. (Also see Teacher)

Saying these testimonies in a dream also may mean returning to one's parents after having abandoned them. It also means returning to a place one has earlier deserted, or to using earlier criterions in one's life. If a Muslim recites these proclamations in a dream, it means that he will testify to the truth in a court of justice, or become known for his truthfulness. (Also see Exalting Allah's oneness; Exclamation of Allah's sovereignty; Imam; Meadow; mosque; Quran; Pilgrimage)

(Book of records; Cat; Reckoning; Siamese cat; Thief) In a dream, a tomcat means a thief or a servant. A cat in a dream also represents an evil and a treacherous woman. The same interpretation is given for anyone who compasses people, or guards them, or someone who harms the interests of his employer more than he benefits him. If a tomcat scratches someone or bites him in a dream, it means that he will fall sick for a full year. The bite of a wildcat in a dream is more dangerous and has greater implications. If one sees a tomcat sitting peacefully and quietly in his house in a dream, it means that he will have a comfortable, peaceful and a profitable year. Otherwise, a large wildcat in the dream represents a troublesome year. Selling a tomcat in a dream means spending one's money in various charities.

Telling a dream interpreted a dream in one's dream, and if the explanation agrees with the common wisdom and religious norms of the Holy Quran and the traditions of Allah's Prophet, Sallallaahu-Alayhi-wasallam, then whatever one is told in his dream is true. If one does not understand the explanation of the dream interpreter in his dream, then he might need to find a qualified interpreter in wakefulness to satisfy his needs. (Also see Astrologer; Divination; Fortuneteller; Founder; Interpretation; Seer)

• A sick or sad person dreaming that he has been touched by Satan: Will recover and strike it rich in view of verses in the Holy Quran that read: “And make mention 
(O Muhammad) of Our bondman Ayyoub  (Job), when he cried unto his Lord: Lo! the devil doth afflict me with distress and torment. 
(And it was said unto him) Strike the ground with thy foot. This  (spring) is a cool bath and a refreshing drink. And We bestowed on him 
(again) his household and therewith the like thereof, a mercy from Us, and a memorial for men of understanding.” 
(“Sad,” verses 41–43.)

He had no choice but to accede. He deployed a huge army under the command of his son. The two sides met in the middle of the sea. For three days a fierce battle ensued between the Muslims and non-Muslims. One the third day the Christians army was defeated. Not a single person was spared. When the king came to learn about this, he called for the sheikh and admitted his folly before him. He then secretly accepted Islam at his hands and bestowed many of his favours on him. It is said that he also learned the Holy Quran by the Shaikh and this affair of the king became popular in Saqliyyah.

“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.

Fasting the three white days of every month (i.e., the 13th, 14th, and the 15th days of the lunar month) in a dream means repayment of one's debts in instalments or teaching someone how to properly read the Quran or spreading knowledge. Fasting during the tenth day of the lunar month of Muharram in a dream represents asceticism, piety, renouncing the world or attending the pilgrimage to Mecca.

• Seeing a Torah:  (1) A reference to those who abide by that Holy Book. 
(2) Reunion with the absent.  (3) Recovery of what is lost.  (4) Wife will give birth to a male child.

• (3) Might marry an emancipated woman or one without a legal guardian.

• A man whose wife is pregnant holding the Torah in his hand: Will be blessed with a female child, because Torah in Arabic is a feminine word.

• Praying in the prayer niche: Good augury in view of a verse in the Holy Quran: “And the angels called to him as he stood praying in the prayer niche: Allah
grive thee glad tidings of  (a son whose name is) Yahya  (John), 
(who cometh) to confirm a word from Allah, lordly, chaste, a prophet of the righteous.” 
(“Al-Imran” [The Imran Family], verse 39.)

The first appearance of daylight in a dream represents the birth of girls or their marriage. Seeing the dawn in a dream also may signify remembrance of Allah Almighty and reading of the Quran. Seeing the dawn in a dream also means walking into the light of guidance. It also means happiness and continuous joy. If one loses something in the night then finds it at dawn in a dream, it means that his opponent denies something he unjustly took from him, then a witness arrives to testify for one's benefit and to help him recuperate his property.

• Having leprosy leontiasis  (the lion’s disease):  (1)
Endeavours will be foiled as the dreamer is arrogantly defying God.  (2) The dreamer is the victim of false and ugly accusations, though innocent.

• Dreaming of the symptoms of leprosy, including mutilations and swelling in the body: 
(1) Will have money that will last.  (2) Will inherit some clothes.

• Performing a Muslim prayer while plagued with leprosy: The dreamer is forgetful of the Holy Quran.

Wood symbolizes religious hypocrisy or hypocritical people in general, especially dry wood. God says in the Holy Quran “And when thou seest them 
(the hypocrites) their figures please thee; and if they speak thou givest ear unto their speech. 
(They are) as though they were blocks of wood in striped cloaks …  (unfit to stand on their own).” 
(“Al-Munafiqun” [The Hypocrites], verse 4.)
Wet or dry wood to light a fire with means backbiting and adversity.

• Being a Jew means the dreamer will fail to perform the Muslim rites and, therefore, be punished by God while still alive and experience humiliation because, says Ibn
Siren, those Jews who had committed an aggression by fishing on a Saturday 
(Sabbath day), thus transgressing the injunctions of God, were turned into apes. The story is narrated in chapter VII of the Holy Quran, titled “Al-Aaraf’
(The Heights), verses 163–67.34

• Being called a Jew and resenting that appellation while wearing white clothes means the dreamer is facing hardships and expecting compassion from God and relief from worries.

• A highwayman stealing something from the dreamer: The person seen in the role of the highwayman will lie and contradict the dreamer.

• Seeing oneself as a highwayman or stealing someone’s belongings: The dreamer will be severely ill, then recover.

• A gang surging from nowhere to manhandle the dreamer: The dreamer will triumph over enemies in view of a verse of the Holy Quran that reads: “That 
(is so). And if one has retaliated to no greater extent than the injury he received, and is again set upon inordinately, God will help him; for God is the One That blots out 
(sins) and forgives  (again and again).”  (“Al-Hajj” [The Pilgrimage], verse 60.)
