Interpretations of Dreams (Ibn Raashid Al-Bakri Al-Qafsi, Darussalam tr.) · p. 60

This refers to when a person sees something that indicates its opposite. For example, sorrow in a dream indicates happiness, and happiness indicates sorrow. If a pregnant woman dreams that she gives birth to a female, she will give birth to a male; and if she dreams that she gives birth to a male, she will give birth to a female, because the birth of a female [to some] is a cause of sorrow and sorrow in a dream indicates happiness, so she will give birth to a male and be happy. If she gives birth to a male she will rejoice, and rejoicing in a dream means sorrow, so she will give birth to a female and feel sorrow because of it. The exception to that is if she has a habit of giving birth to what she sees in her dreams, in which case it is to be interpreted in accordance with what usually happens to her. Seeing one's self appointed to a position means dismissal, and I have experienced that myself. Dismissal of one who is not in a certain position means that he will be appointed, and so on.
