Seeing “recording”
in your dream

(Angels; Spiritual) Representing the heedful angels in charge of guarding the writings of the Preserved Tablets, and the heavenly beings or scribes in charge of recording peoples deeds. In a dream, the blessed angels in charge of keeping peoples records represent the Gnostics, the renowned people of knowledge, religious scholars and the trustworthy ones.

• Seeing birds flying without being able to identify their species: Those are angels who will avenge the oppressed.

• Seeing those among the angels who have a special status and serve as scribes: For a good person, joy and happiness in life and in the Hereafter, as well as a happy ending; otherwise, the dreamer should heed the warning inherent in the Quranic verses: “Generous 
(or enjoying a special status) and recording, who know  (all) that ye do.” 
(“Al-Infitar” [The Cleaving], verses 11 and 12.)

• Seeing an angel in the image of an old man: A reference to the past.

(Angels; Record keepers) If a pious person sees the recording angels in a dream, it means glad tidings, prosperity, happiness and joy in this world and in the hereafter. If an unallahly person sees them in a dream, it means that he should correct his life and seek the company of pious and good people. (Also see Record keepers)
