Imam Ibn Sirin

Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams (Al-Akili tr.) · p. 44

In a dream, blood represents unlawful or illegal money, or an evil act that will emanate from the person seeing the dream. If one sees himself dragging his feet through puddles of blood in a dream, it means that he will finance his business from unlawfully earned money, profit from an illegal business or commit a major sin then be caught. If one sees blood staining his shirt in a dream, it means that someone will lie to him, though he will not recognize it. If his shirt is stained with blood or pus from pimples in a dream, it means that a thief will lie to him. If his shirt is stained with the blood of a lion in a dream, it means that an iniquitous person in authority will lie to him and take advantage of him. If his shirt is stained with the blood of a ram in a dream, it means that a rich, noble and a well respected person will lie to him, and at the end he will consent to accepting corrupt money. Seeing blood flowing from one's body or from wounds is a sign of good health, safety, or it could mean coming home after a long journey. Drinking human blood in a dream means money, profits, escape from danger, safety from trials and adversities, or it could mean committing a sin then repenting from it. Falling into a pool of blood in a dream means that one will be accused of a murder or of stealing money. If one sees a valley filled with blood in a dream, it means that he may be killed in that locality. If one sees blood emanating out of his body without cupping or cuts in a dream, it means giving money to someone. If he is a poor person, then it means receiving money from someone. If one sees himself falling into a cistern which is filled with blood in a dream, it means that someone is seeking revenge from him. Blood in a jar represents a woman in menstruation. Blood in a dream also represents one's life, strength, wealth, business, helpers, clothing, earning praise or blame, weak points, unlawful food, lack of benefits, loss of business or money or esteem, inability to draw benefits from one's usual close ones, such as a father, a son, or a business partner, separation through death from one's beloveds or dear one's, such as wife or a kin. One's blood in a dream also represents his own Satan, or an enemy that dwells inside his house. Drinking one's own blood in a dream means paying one's debts with second loan, or vanquishing one's enemy. Bleeding naturally in a dream means peace and comfort. Excess bleeding in a dream means the opposite. The bleeding of an unwed woman means finding a husband. Bleeding of a pregnant woman in a dream means a miscarriage and for an elderly woman, bleeding means an illness. If one sees blood coming from his anus in a dream, it means that he is tainted with the consequences of an evil act, or it could mean a bad deal, or that he has earned unlawful money then walked out of such a deal. To bleed in a dream also means being a spendthrift, a money wasting family, or it could mean suffering from a venereal disease. (Also see Vascular blockage)

Interpretations of Dreams (Ibn Raashid Al-Bakri Al-Qafsi, Darussalam tr.) · p. 176

Blood signifies wealth because the soundness of the body is relatedto blood and wealth is also essential to physical well-being. If bloodcomes out of a person (in the dream), while he is healthy he will spendmoney. If he gives it willingly, then he will be spending it on somethingthat benefits him, otherwise he will not. If he dreams that he was sick and that happened in the summertime,then he will spend his wealth on something beneficial. But if thathappened in the wintertime, that signifies something bad, becausebodies need blood in winter. If blood came out of him at a time of waror when travelling, he will be wounded or attacked by bandits. If blood comes out as the result of cupping, phlebotomy, an incisionin the nose or as the result of a nosebleed, for a sick person for whom thatis beneficial it is indicative of recovery. It is also indicative of payingoff debts and relief from trouble. For one for whom it is not beneficial,it signifies lengthy sickness, death, loss of wealth or trouble. Some of them said: A nosebleed signifies finding treasure. If a persondreams that he had a nosebleed in the street, he will pay the Zakaah ofhis wealth. If it comes out of themouth and is a good color, that isindicative of a child. If he dreams that it flows into a vessel, the childwill live, but if it flows onto the ground, he will die quickly.
