Implication

This means paying attention to what is usually i mplied by a certain event or situation. For example, a man sees his enemy in good shape. This indicates that he is going to face hardship caused by somebody else, because what is usually implied by an enemy being happy is that he is going through hardship; the opposite, seeing his enemy going through hardship, indicates that he is going to encounter happy times. Another example is seeing one's loved one in good shape or going through hardship; this implies that something similar will happen to the dreamer. If the dreamer sees a doctor, surgeon, veterinarian or Faqeeh entering his house, this indicates that something is going to happen to him that requires that person to come to him. A further example is that a man who was in a position of authority said to m e in Qafsah: I dreamt that I was looking at my mother's private part. I said to him: You will be dismissed, because you were looking at the place you came from, and you cannot go back to it unless you are dismissed. Then he was dismissed shortly thereafter . One of the judges in my country, who was from Qayrawaan and had a wife in Tawzar, and wanted to be dismissed so that he could take her to Qayrawaan, said to me: I saw myself eating corn bread. I said to him: You will be dismissed, because you have become one of the people of Tawzar who eat that, and you cannot be one of them unless you reach there and enter their city, and you will not enter it unless you are dismissed and take your family there. And that is what happened. One of the governors of Qafsah said: I dreamt that I was riding and wearing a cloak. I said: You will be dismissed, because you only wear that when travelling and you will not travel unless you are dismissed. And that is what happened. There was a man who had recently repented, then he dreamt that the jug he used for Wudoo' was broken. I said to him: You will go back to the way you were, because that jug is for Wudoo', and if it is broken there is no more Wudoo'. If there is no more Wudoo', there is no more prayer, thus you will go back to sin. And that is what happened. I dreamt that a little bit of blood came out when I was treated with cupping and it got onto the clothes nearest to my body. The closest of people to me had a wife who was pregnant, and I said to him: You will get another son. And that is what happened. The point here is that the appearance of blood when being treated with cupping signifies wealth given willingly, and the clothes that are closest to the body mean the closest of people. So I said: This is a little wealth that he will give willingly, and that means more male offspring, because our custom is to go and congratulate the one who has a male child but not a female. And that is what happened. A man had an eye disease, and he dreamt that a oculist entered upon him a nd his kohl pot was lost. Shaykh Shihaab - ud - Deen said to him: You will go blind, because the tool of healing was lost, and its loss implies that there will be no recovery. And it turned out as he said. A man dreamt that he was given a ploughshare, and Shay kh Shihaab - ud - Deen said to him: You will become a farmer. The same idea applies to putting on weapons or giving them. This indicates that some event involving disputes, war or fighting is going to occur and victory will be for the one who carries that weap on or has it in his hand. The same applies to a sick person seeing (in a dream) a shroud, the person who washes the body of the deceased, a coffin, or the place where the body is washed. That is indicative of death, and so on.
