Seeing “old memory”
in your dream

• Sodomizing a dead man or a woman dreaming that a dead person had made love to her: Benefits from an undesirable source, the same as the dead are undesirable sex partners.

• Sodomizing an identified dead man: Will do something good in memory of the latter, such as offering prayers, et cetera.

• Having incestuous sex or making love to a prohibited dead relation: Again, will pray for, give alms in memory of, or visit that relative’s grave.

• Making love to one’s mother seen dead in the dream: Will meet her if she is alive. Having sex with her in the grave means death.

If a person sees himself as wearing earrings it means he will commit to memory the Holy Quran, acquire Islamic knowledge and learn such ilm through which he will become a celebrity amongst the people. For a woman, the mere seeing of earrings represent her husband and children.

Dreaming of Ozair  (a prophet who was killed by God and left dead, along with his donkey, for a hundred years, then brought back to life as an eighty-year-old “young man” still about to recite the Torah, from the beginning to the end, as no one else ever could) means one:

• Will become a leader, through knowledge, wisdom, and a perfect memory and writing ability.

If a person sees himself wearing a necklace made of pearls, it means he will commit the Holy Quran to memory and he will become trustworthy and Allah-fearing. He will be a person with a huge family. He will be held in high esteem by men and women alike. The more strings there are to such a necklace the greater will be his trustworthiness and esteem and family.

• Using the Quran as a pillow: The dreamer does not respect and preserve properly his
Mushaf, despite the injunction by the Holy Prophet not to do so.

• A person with bad memory having managed to memorize the Holy Quran: The dreamer will become a king 
(or almost), owing to the verse that reads as follows: “He said: Set me over the storehouses of the land. Lo! I am a skilled custodian.” 
(“Yusuf’ [Joseph], verse 55.) In Arabic, the verbs for to “memorize” and “to preserve” are homonyms.)

• Reading verses on torture and being unable to read the ones on compassion and mercy when the dreamer reaches them: Hardships will continue.

• Reading “Ayatul Kursi,” the 255th verse of “Surat Al-Baqarah”  (The Cow or the Heifer), very much in use for exorcism: Will be safe from plagues, desires will be fulfilled will be cured if ill, prestige would be enhanced and will be more intelligent and blessed with a strong memory.

• A verse of the Holy Quran written on one’s shirt: The dreamer abides strictly by the tenets of the Holy Book.

Digging symbolizes sly backbiting, wasted speech, or simple endeavours.
The gravedigger is a prestigious and awesome man.

• Digging in the grave of a holy man with one’s nails: The dreamer is
endeavouring to follow the path of the deceased.

• Digging in the grave of the Muslims Prophet Muhammad with one’s nails: The dreamer will refresh his memory about the Sunnah 
(Muhammad’s Tradition) and will benefit many people. If he reaches the body it is a bad omen. If he breaks any of the Prophet’s limbs, he will be lost and turn heretic.

• Dreaming of being wrapped in a shroud like the dead, except for the head and feet, which remain uncovered: Religious corruption or simply things will go wrong.

• Weaving a shroud for a dead person: The dreamer will do something good in memory of the deceased or in
favour of his offspring as much as the winding sheet was big, beautiful, or valuable.

• Weaving a shroud for a living person known to the dreamer: Hardships and trouble for the latter.

• Weaving a shroud for a person dreamed of as unknown but alive: Good augury.

• Snatching a shroud from a dead person whom the dreamer used to know: The dreamer will follow the example of that late person.

• A golden ring:  (1) If a ruler, the dreamer will turn heretic, lose his religious faith, betray his people, and become a tyrant. 
(2) A reference to a woman who has lost her fortune.

• An iron ring:  (1) A courageous leader.  (2) A tradesman with foresight but bad memory. 
(3) A ring made of lead: Power melted through weakness.
A ring with two stones: Overt and covert influence, financial benefits, and/or success in helping religious-minded and worldly individuals and healing people.

• Rings made of horns or ivory: Good augury for women.

• A wooden ring:  (1) A hypocritical woman.  (2) Prosperity or power obtained through hypocrisy.

• Being given or offered a ring or buying one: The dreamer will wield tremendous power or become a king, if eligible because, says Ibn
Siren, the majesty of King Solomon was derived from his ring.

• A woman being given a ring: She will get married or have a child.
