Tannery

A tannery in a dream has the same interpreta­ tion as that of a slaughterhouse. It also represents a school, a fellowship house, or similar places where the mind and spirit are taught and reared to correct oneself, to hold to what is true and to discard what is false. A tannery in a dream also represents a patient, forbearing and a hard-working woman , ahousekeeper, or a child. Perhaps a tannery in a dream also could denote a harsh, wretched and a contemptible woman, though she likes cleanliness and guards herself from others' impurities. (Also see Dye; Vat)

A man said: I dreamt that I took the skin of a dead animal to thetannery and gave it to the tanner so that it could be m ade usable bytanning. Shaykh Shihaab - ud - Deen said to him: You have wealth inwhich there is something Haraam and you have not paid Zakaah on it,and you want to do a trick so that it can become Halaal for you, but youare not going to succeed completely, beca use some of the scholars saythat the skin of a dead animal cannot be purified by tanning. Another man said: I dreamt that I took the skin of a buffalo from thetannery. He said: You took a garment from a person of high status. If theskin that you took was t anned, then you took it lawfully otherwise youdid not take it lawfully. Another man said: I dreamt that I brought a dried buffalo skin to thetannery and a dog came and ate it. He said: Did you want to take yourgarment to be cleaned? He said: Yes. He said: It has been stolen fromyou. Another man said: I dreamt that I took my own skin and gave it tothe tannery. He said: You will die and your wealth will be lost. Another man said: I dreamt that a tanner was tanning my skin. Hesaid: You will get sick and will look for a doctor. And it all turned outas he said.
