Imam Ibn Sirin

Dreams and Interpretations (Ibn Sireen, Hathurani tr.) · p. 78

Accepting something from the dead is regarded as good while giving him something is regarded as bad. If a person'sees a dead person giving him something of this world it means he will acquire livelihood from an unimaginable source. And if he sees himself giving a dead person clothes normally worn by living persons and he accepts such clothes and wears them it means he (the giver) has a short life span.
