Possessing, Gathering or Walking in a Cloud

Possessing, gathering, walking in a cloud or mounting a cloud means the observer of the dream will acquire much wealth and prosperity. A True Story: Imaam Ja'far (RA) had been asked about a person .30 who had dreamt that he is eating clouds and there are many clouds before him. He replied that the person had seen a very blessed dream: he will become a man of great learning and by virtue of this he will assume sublimity amongst the people and enjoy a reputation none other has enjoyed. On another occasion the Imaam had been asked about another person who had seen that he was standing in the shade of a cloud. He replied: "If this person is ill, he will be cured; if he is in debt, he will be absolved of his debt; if he is a destitute, Allah will make him wealthy; if he is oppressed, he will receive assistance. For, clouds symbolise rahmah (blessings) and anything shrouded by clouds is shrouded by rahmah. This is supported by the fact that in times of Jihad clouds used to cast their shadow on Rasoolullah (sallallaahu-alayhi-wasallam).
