Air

Standing in the air in a dream means being honored or acknowledged by a governor, though it will not last. If one has exaggerated hopes, arrogance, pride, or if he is a self-centered individual, then his floating in the air represents mere disturbed dreams. Walking in the air without ascending or descending in a dream means receiving dignity, honor and earning lawful money. If one does not qualify for it, then walking in the air in his dream means travels. Hanging in the air between the heavens and the earth in a dream represents a concerned heart and uncertainty about what to do! Falling in the air in a dream means despair or loss of status in wakefulness. Falling in a dream also means relief from distress, wantonness, or satisfying one's needs. Clear, fresh and pure air in a dream represents a good time to take a trip for business or pleasure. Air in a dream also represents one's desire and passion. Thus, disobeying one's mind, desire and passion in a dream means entering the heavenly paradise. Following one's desires in a dream means negligence of once religious duties. Standing up in the air and speaking loud in a dream means blessings, favors, money, honor and fame. Sitting in the air in a dream means arrogance and self­ deception regarding religious opinions. Building a house up in the air or placing a mat in the air or raising a tent in the air means death of a sick person, and what is built in this case is one's own coffin. If a governor sees that dream, it means his dismissal from his office or his death. Seeing that dream after a wedding or after having marital relations with one's wife means mistrust and loss. It also means involvement in an uncouth action, lacking knowledge of the Holy Book and prophetic traditions, because what one has built lacks a foun- dation. Flying in the air in a dream may mean travels. Flying with wings in a dream has stronger connotations and is safer. The wings here will represent money or power. Swimming in the air means benefits or business travels. If the air looks opaque in one's eyes, so he cannot see the skies in his dream, it means problems with one's superior. If one does not have a boss, then it means that he may lose his sight. If all the people witnessed the air opaque or red in the dream, then it means a major calamity and a trying adversity.

Air is that which is between heaven and earth; if it moves it is called wind. If the word Hawa' (air) is altered to read Hawaa, it means the inclinations of the self. If a person dreams that he is rising up in the air, he will attain a high position, and if he stays up in the air, he will maintain that po sition, but if he falls he will lose his position. This is exactly what happened to me: I dreamt that I was rising up in the air, then I fell. I joined the Fuqaha', then the judge envied me and tried to exclude me. Some dream interpreters said: If a person dreams that he is standing in the air, he will attain a high position out of the blue but it will not be stable. If he dreams that the air is pure and he is sick, he will be healed, and if he has lost something, he will find it. Shaykh Shihaab - ud - Deen said: If he dreams that he is flying in the air with wings and is holding onto something, this is indicative of travel in general and may indicate moving from one place to another. The coming of light and darkness is indicative of distress and idleness, or indicates that one who is afraid will feel secure and that one who wants to do something in secret will be able to achieve that. Shaykh Shihaab - ud - Deen said: The loss of an eye for one who is healthy, like the coming of night for one who is already ill, i ndicates that his sickness will get worse and last longer. If the night becomes more intense, that may indicate loss of vision also. A man dreamt that a man had a flint and produced a good spark, creating a nice fire, and the dreamer had at cataracts in both eyes. He said to him: Rub your eyes and you will be healed. Someone else said: The coming of night is indicative of tranquillity and rest. And it was said that it is indicative of injustice and misguidance. In my opinion, it depends on the circumstances and what the interpreter understands. If the dreamer sees the stars revolving in the sky, the people of that place will be subjected to injustice, and if there is also thunder and lightning, it will be worse. If he dreams that the entire year is a day in which the sun does not set, rather it rotates around the sky, that indicates that the king will be a dictatorship and will not consult anyone. If he dreams that the stars have come out, he will go through a happy time, because the stars are light after darkness. If he dreams that something emerged to him that night and he found it near the star, then his rights will be confirmed against the one who is denying them by means of testimony, because Allah says: " Verily, the recitation of the Qur'an in the ear ly dawn (i.e. the morning - Fajr prayer) is ever witnessed (attended by the angels in charge of mankind of the day and the night)."
