Seeing “mihrab”
in your dream

(arb. Alcove; Niche; Prayer niche) In a dream, a prayer niche or a mihrab represents a leader, a guide, or the Imam of a mosque. Praying at the mihrab in a dream means glad tidings. If a woman sees herself praying at the mihrab of a mosque in a dream, it means that she will beget a son or a daughter. In a dream, the alcoves or shelters that poor people use for their retreats in a mosque represent sincerity, love, devotion, remembrance of Allah Almighty, standing in night prayers, and aloofness. Building a mihrab inside one's house in a dream means bearing male children.

Otherwise, it means that such a property will be donated by its owner for religious use. Seeing an incorrectly positioned prayer niche in a mosque in a dream means deviation for Allah's path and erring in one's words and actions. In a dream, a mihrab also represents lawful sustenance or a pious wife. If one sees the prayer niche of a mosque misdirected, or if it emits a vile odor, or if one sees the corpse of a dead animal lying inside it in a dream, it indicates that the one who is seeing the dream is an unbeliever, an innovator and a hypocrite.

• A woman praying in the prayer niche: Will give birth to a male child.

• Praying in the prayer niche but not at the right time: Welfare for the dreamer’s progeny or successors.

• Urinating in the prayer niche: Will have a son who will become a Muslim spiritual leader, as the mihrab basically represents the imam.

• Urinating or pissing one, two, or three drops in the prayer niche: Will have as many virtuous and handsome children as there were drops.

• 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.)

• Pissing in an animated area of a marketplace: The dreamer will become a familiar figure in that market.

• A horseman stepping down from a mare for some adventitious reason and pissing blood: He is indulging in adultery 
(because, according to the ancient Arabs, the soil is a woman and pissing is sex, while blood symbolizes what is prohibited).

• Urinating in the mihrab or prayer niche: The dreamer will have a son who will become a Muslim spiritual leader, as the mihrab basically represents the imam.
