Hathurani tr.· p. 68

Coughing means that the person will complain about someone. • Blowing the Nose: Blowing the nose and expelling filth means that the person will become angry as a result of which he will utter undesirable words. If no filth is expelled it means he will lodge a complaint against someone.

Al-Akili tr.· p. 99
Aspects: Compensate · Pay · Render

In a dream, coughing means complaining about something or reporting someone to the authorities. If one's cough is severe to near suffocation, then it means his death. Coughing in a dream is also interpreted as intending to report or complain about someone, but one may call off his drive.

Al-Bakri Al-Qafsi

Interpretations of Dreams (Ibn Raashid Al-Bakri Al-Qafsi, Darussalam tr.) · p. 179

Coughing is indicative of the same as sickness, and something thathe had concealed may appear or be disclosed, or he may think of takinga man to court then he will not do so. A man dreamt that people began to cough severely. He said: Theywill be struck by earthquakes. Another man dreamt that earthquakes came in summer. He said: Thepeople will have coughing fits.
