Interpretations of Dreams (Ibn Raashid Al-Bakri Al-Qafsi, Darussalam tr.) · p. 230

If the crucified person has his 'Awrah covered, or he is crucifiedhead - down, or his head was contaminated with blood, then it signifiessomething bad. Otherwise, if he is crucified alive, he will attain a highposition and honor, b ecause Allah says: "For surely; they killed him not [i.e. 'Eesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)]But Allah raised him ['Eesa (Jesus)] up (with his bodyand soul) unto Himself."[Al-Nisa' 4:157, 158] Shamaarah dreamt that he was crucified and his dream was toldto Ibn Sireen, who did not know him, and he said: This man will behonored and he will be listened to and obeyed. Al-Shaafa'i, when he was in prison, dreamt that he was crucifiedon a river along with 'Ali (May Allah be please with him). One of the dream interpreters said: Hisreputation will become widespread. And that is what happened. If the dreamer is crucified after death, he will attain glory but hisreligious commitment will be corrupted. If he is crucified after havingbeen slain, he will attain a high status and there will be lies told abouthim. If he dreams that he is crucified but he does not know when he wascrucified, he will get back what he lost. Crucifixion is also indicative of sickness occurring in the throat,such as croup.
