Seeing “scarcity”
in your dream

(See Famine)

(Dearth; Scarcity) If one sees the rulers of his country suffering from a famine in a dream, it represents their greed, terrorization of their subjects and the sufferings of the people. If one sees scholars suffering from a famine in a dream, it signifies their thirst or lust for knowledge. (Also see Little)

If it is a Monday, it means floods, winter illness and perhaps a partial loss of the crop. If it is a Tuesday, it means shortage of rain and a cold winter. If it is a Wednesday, it means scarcity and deficiency of water, and a cold weather by the end of summer and beginning of autumn. If it is a Thursday, it means a prosperous year, except for the livestock. This interpretation was given by Ptolemy, the Alexandrian astronomer 367-283 B.C. during his residence in Egypt.

If one sees his hair thinned until it reaches baldness in a dream, it means that he may lose his wealth or perhaps it could mean losing face with the people. If one sees himself sitting with a bald-headed woman in a dream, it means that he is engaging in a project that is tainted with suspicion, or it could mean that he will become a victim to temptation. Seeing a bald headed woman in a dream also signifies drought and scarcity. In a dream, baldheadedness also means money that is received from one's superior at work and requires tremendous efforts to earn. Such earnings will costs more than what they are worth.

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.
