Seeing “illiterate”
in your dream

If one finds himself illiterate and incapable of writing in a dream, it means that he is depressed, though Allah Almighty will show him a way out of his difficulties. If an illiterate person sees himself trying to learn how to write and read in a dream, it means that he will benefit from something he feared for a long time, or it could mean that he will go through hard times. If a learned person finds himself incapable of writing anything in a dream, it means depression, fear, toiling and obstruction of his business. (Also see Book; Letter; Paper; Sign)

Dreams about fasting have contradictory interpretations:

• Dreaming of being in the Muslims  month of fasting  (Ramadan): 
(1) Higher prices  (inflation) and scarcity of foodstuffs.  (2) Sound religion, end of worries, recovery from a disease, the settlement of debts.

• Having fasted the entire month of Ramadan:  (1) Certainty after doubt. 
(2) If the dreamer was illiterate, he would memorize the Holy Quran.

• Dreaming of recognizing the utility of fasting and wishing to fast: Quick benefits from an unexpected source.

• Failing to fast during the month of Ramadan:  (1) The dreamer is giving way to his instinct and passions. 
(2) The dreamer will have a blessed journey.

• Dreaming of having deliberately and overtly eaten throughout the month of Ramadan, instead of fasting like other Muslims: 
(1) The dreamer is disregarding religious rules.  (2) The dreamer will commit a premeditated murder.
