It could also represent the bathroom, as madness was believed by the ancient Arabs to be associated with demons and because, like the bathroom, the mental institution is a place where people take off their clothes, show their private parts, and exhibit repulsive manners. For some interpreters, the madhouse refers to the school, because, there, the inpatients were educated by force, in ancient times, and taught to read and write and know the Quran. But the sanatorium also alludes to entertainment, playing, joking, and irresponsible behaviour in society or in people’s occupations, as is the case with psychopaths. A mentally disturbed person would not mind parting from his children. • A dead person seen in a sanatorium: He is in Hell, as the madhouse “is the place of chains and shackles”  (which have now been replaced by the straitjacket). • Being in the asylum amid sick people: Will go to jail for some legal matters. • Being in the asylum with the mad: Will be imprisoned with criminals. • A person in good health dreaming of being in a sanatorium: Will be ill. • A sick person dreaming of being in a madhouse:  (1) Prolonged illness.  (2) Will die estranged, abroad, or as a martyr.  (3) For a poor person, it means that he will have enough welfare and prosperity to make him independent and no longer in need of anything from anyone.

Head Dream Explanation — The person’s head is the imam or Muslim spiritual leader, his chief, his capital, or his endeavours. It also symbolizes his parents and his children if they are alive.

Any disease in the head applies to the dreamer’s chief. • The imam seeing his head bigger than usual: Abundance and more power. • An ordinary person seeing his head bigger than usual: More dignity. The reverse is also true. • The imam seeing himself with a ram head: He will be fair and just. • The imam seeing himself with a dog head: He will be a tyrant and treat his subjects foolishly. • A person whose parents or children are alive dreaming of having been beheaded: Bad omen. • The same dream made by a person who is afraid or condemned to death: A good dream, because you only die once. • A capitalist dreaming that his head has been severed: Will lose his capital. • Owning a head: Will have a capital of at least one thousand monetary units. • Eating one’s own head or some of the bones of the skull: Will eat up one’s capital. • Having two or three heads:  (1) If engaged in a duel: Will beat the adversary.  (2) If poor: Will get rich.  (3) If rich: Will have good children.  (4) If a bachelor: Will get married and obtain what is desired. • A merchant seeing himself upside-down: Will suffer a setback in his business. • A man seeing himself hanging upside-down:  (1) Will have a long life, but full of toiling.  (2) Will be blamed. • Hanging upside-down in front of a crowd: The dreamer has done something wrong, feels sorry about it, and is repenting, but will live long, in view of a verse in the Holy Quran: “He whom We bring unto old age, We reverse him in creation  (making him go back to weakness after strength).

If that person was a child below the age of puberty or if the dreamer was ill for a long time, relief would be followed by death.

Moon Dream Explanation — The moon symbolizes the emperor, the supreme commander, or a person as influential as the former. The stars around it are his soldiers, the Pleiades are his houses or his wives and slave girls. It could also refer to the knowledgeable man, the scholar or all sorts of guides, evidence, references, and indications, for it lights people’s way in the darkness, especially during the last three nights in the Arabic month, which are the darkest. It alludes as well to children, the husband or wife, the master, and the beautiful female, owing to its beauty, particularly when it is full. Likewise, the moon alludes to whatever increases and decreases, because this, in fact, is what happens to it regularly when it starts as a crescent, turns into a full moon, then becomes again like a bracket. The new moon, or crescent, also represents a king, a prince, a commander, a leader, the newborn as it starts appearing from the vagina or as it utters its first cries, the hot bread just coming from the oven, a person reappearing after a long absence, the muath-then, or the one who cries for prayers, as he appears in his minaret, the orator at the podium, et cetera. • A sick person seeing the moon at the beginning of the  (Islamic) month descending on him or coming to him: Will recover. • A sick person seeing the moon descending on him or coming to him according to the shape of the moon: The remaining days in the month represent the days, months, or years  (depending on other signs in the dream) left for him to live. • A crescent descending on a person at the beginning of the month: An absent one will return from a trip. • The moon descending on a person at the end of the month: Will be estranged or stay abroad. • The moon seen on the dreamer’s knees or in his hand: Will marry someone as bright as the moonlight. • The moon rising in the sky: A process has been initiated  (something the dreamer is trying to achieve). • The moon disappearing: It is too late for whatever the dreamer is asking or striving for. • A full moon right where it should be, shining in the sky: The prime minister will be good to the people of that place. • Seeing one’s face reflected in the moon: Will die. • Hanging to the moon: Will obtain some benefits from the sultan. • A king seeing the moon having become dark: His subjects will harm him and deny everything good he had done to them. • The moon becoming the sun: Benefits, money, and prosperity on the part of the wife or the mother. •

Twice hast Thou made us die, and twice hast Thou made us live. Now we confess our sins. Is there any way to go out?”  (“Ghafer” [The Forgiver] or “Al-Mumin” [The Believer], verse 11.)

(5) Will live long.  (6) The dreamer is a tanner. • Resuscitating someone: Will help an atheist become a Muslim or a debauchee repent, or the dreamer will simply repent. • One’s grandfather or grandmother resuscitating: Revival of efforts and luck, as the word for grandparent in Arabic is a homonym of endeavour. • One’s father or mother resuscitating: Relief from worries.  (The dream involving the father is more likely to come true.) • Resuscitation of a son: Emergence of a most unexpected enemy. • Resuscitation of a daughter: Relief and satisfaction. • Resuscitation of a brother: The dreamer’s weakness will turn into strength in view of the following verses: “ (My Lord), appoint for me a henchman from my folk, Harun [Aaron], my brother. Confirm my strength with him.”  (“Ta-Ha”, verses 29–31.) • Resuscitation of a sister: An absent one will return from abroad, bringing joy, owing to the Quranic verse that reads: “And she said unto his sister: Trace him. So she sighted him from afar, whereas they perceived not”  (“Al-Qasas” [The Requital, verse 11) . •

Resuscitation of an uncle or an aunt: Return or revival of a matter that had gone out of the dreamer’s hands. • Dead women rising beautifully dressed with full makeup: The dreamer or the family of these women will witness the revival of certain matters, depending on how beautiful the women looked and how well they were dressed.

Penis Dream Explanation — Basically, the word for penis in Arabic is thakar, a homonym of male. It is almost an homonym of thikr as well, meaning “reputation.” Those are major considerations in interpreting dreams involving the penis. Therefore, the penis refers to the person’s reputation among people; a male child or children; well-being; money; the life span, honour and prestige; or anyone who exerts efforts to ensure other people’s comfort and safety, such as the father, the son who honours his parents name, the attentive boy, the good partner or the messenger. It also alludes to the horse or camel, et cetera. It could refer as well to the bucket or watering can and to any being the dreamer has sex with. For the farmer, the penis symbolizes his plow, and reaping hook; for the carpenter his perforator; for the blacksmith his pair of bellows; for the litter his assay scales; for the butcher his knife; for the writer; the pen that he puts in the ink pot; for the soldier his arrow or spear; for the ship-owner or sailor his mast or pole; and so on and so forth.

Sometimes it even refers to the weeping eye or the one-eyed. Most significant as well is the penis symbolizing the animals that roams at night and seek refuge in their burrows. • The dreamer’s erect penis having become longer, bigger, and more beautiful, in a way as to make him proud of it: The dreamer will have plenty of children and wealth, and his wife and whoever is in charge of gating his land, if any, will enjoy good health. It also means that he will be better off or will recover in case he is ill, that his troubles and worries will go away, and that he will overcome his enemies by using his power and influence, for the simple reason that erection usually occurs only when the person lives and eats well, is satisfied, and is enjoying peace of mind. • Paradoxically, seeing one’s penis longer than usual: Worries and deep trouble are on the way. • Seeing a pen coming out of one’s penis: The dreamer will have a son who will be versed in all disciplines  (because the pen serves to register and preserve all kinds of knowledge). • Having lost one’s penis and regretting it: Something will affect the dreamer’s son.

(1) If he is a ruler or governor, he will be deposed.  (2) If ill, he will pass away.  (3) He will be lost.  (4) He will travel and no news will come of him. • The penis having been cut: The dreamer will die, his son will die, he will no longer have male children, he will lose his money, or he will stay away from his country for a long time, during which his folk will forget him. • Severing or eating someone else’s penis: The dreamer will sever relations with that person. • Biting someone else’s penis: The dreamer likes or loves that man and speaks very highly of him. • Someone playing with the dreamer’s penis: Joy and prosperity. •

Sun Dream Explanation — The sun symbolizes the Greatest King  (God), as it is the brightest thing in the sky and it benefits mankind and, in Arabic, sky and heavens are homonyms. It also represents activity, as people wake up when it rises. Likewise it heralds the birth of male children. Any alteration in it is a harbinger of intrigue and plights. Seen by the dreamer alone, it could refer to his king, his lord, his teacher, his son, or his gold. In case the dreamer is a woman, it could allude to her husband. The sun also represents the father as it gives it light to the moon, like the father sponsors his son. However, very significant for the ancient Arabs was the fact that, in their language, sun was feminine and moon was masculine. Thus the former was more often interpreted as the mother.

Likewise, it could mean an honest and noble grandmother, mother, wife, mother-in-law, or daughter of a king or a head of state or of the dreamer himself, as was the case with the Prophet Yusuf  (Joseph). In other interpretations, it simply refers to a beautiful woman in view of the fact that Arab poets likened pretty women to the sun. The sunlight is the awe and justice of the king. A nice dream would be to see the sun exactly as it is—as it looks and behaves—in reality. • Being addressed by the sun  (or the moon): The dreamer will be dignified by the ruler. • The sun talking to the dreamer in a comprehensible manner:  (1) He will be acquainted with the science of invoking jinn.  (2) He will correspond with great personalities.  (3) He will become a translator or an interpreter. •

If already ill, he will die. • The sun getting dark without there being an eclipse or for any other reason: The person it represents is unjust.

He could also be a tyrant or an atheist. In any case, he is lost. • Holding the sun or placing it on one’s knees or seeing it enter one’s house and admiring its brightness:  (1) The dreamer will have more dignity and strength or a wider realm, if eligible.  (2) The master of the house will return, if absent.  (3) The dreamer’s pregnant woman will deliver a good-looking boy or girl, depending on other signs in the dream.

Witness the Quranic verses: “Hast thou not seen how thy Lord hath spread the shade—And if He willed He could have made it still—then We have made the sun its pilot; then We withdraw it unto Us, a gradual withdrawal?”  (“Al-Furqan” [The Criterion], verses 45–46.)

The same dream in summer means troubles, worries, a feverish disease, or an ailment in the eye.  (16) Death is near.  (17) The dreamer will embrace faith by force. • The sun rising from the earth and getting very bright as usual:

(1) Recovery from a disease.  (2) Return of an absent one, healthy and wealthy. • The sun rising from the south and heading north, appearing dark or looking blood red: Bad omen for everybody.  (It would be a good augury only for someone who is trying to conceal something.)

If he divorces her afterwards, she will become an adulteress. • The sun rising on a woman’s vagina: She will commit adultery. • The sun rising from the aperture of the penis:

The dreamer will be blessed with a male child who will become a king or a minister. • Sitting in the sun: Prosperity and blessings from Heaven. • A dead person sitting on the sun in summer: A hint of the suffering and sorrow he is enduring. • Turning into a sun: The dreamer will have a realm as great as the sunshine. • Seizing a sun hanging on a chain: The dreamer will become a just governor. • Sitting on the sun and taking medication: The dreamer will be blessed by the ruler. • The sunlight spreading from east to west: The dreamer will own as much land as the area covered, or control it, if eligible. • Dreaming that the sun rays and light are beamed from east to west:  (1) The dreamer will have a great realm, if eligible.  (2) The dreamer will be renowned for his knowledge all over the world. • Seizing or controlling the sun: Prayers will be heard by the Almighty, the King of Kings. • Being burnt by the sun:  (1) The dreamer will die for the love of a beautiful face.  (2) Whoever the sun refers to will have a calamity.  (3) Corrupt religious faith.  (4) The dreamer is making a vow to God in connection with a sin. For a lady, she will be blessed with a good-looking husband or a child, if pregnant. • The sun disappearing completely and the dreamer tailing it: He will die. Following the sun, which does not set: The dreamer will be taken captive with the king. • The sun turning into a man in his forties: The ruler will become humble before God and reign with justice, thus gaining power and improving the Muslims  lot. •

If the other had gone, too, and mixed with the part already gone to make a new, complete sun, the dissident or renegade would take over the entire country. The reverse is also true. But if the two halves remain apart, the renegade will control half the king’s realm, thus becoming his opposite number. • Swallowing the sun: The dreamer will have a life full of troubles and worries. • A king dreaming that he has swallowed the sun: He will die. • The sun setting in the dreamer’s bedding: He will have a high fever or an infection in the body, unless some benefits are perceived in the dream, in which case this means that the dreamer will have abundant means. •

If, on the contrary, they were neither shining nor emitting rays, that is a bad omen. The sun and the moon rising before the dreamer: His parents are contented with him. If the sun and moon are shining, the parents are unhappy with him. • Seeing a sun and a moon on the right, on the left, right in front, or behind one: Worries, fears, calamities, and defeat, which will compel the dreamer to flee in view of the Quranic verses: “And sun and moon are united.
