A stream or small river wherein a person normally does not down is the same as a river except that in most cases it symbolizes a glad tiding and a clean, joyful life.
A Stream in the House:
A clean stream with sweet water flowing in or through the house symbolizes a pure and clean life. But if the water is seen in the form of a spring emitting from within the walls or any such place from which the flowing of water is regarded as strange and absurd, it suggests that the folks of that settlement will be visited with some calamity causing them much grief, sorrow, fear and weeping, the intensity of which will depend on the force of the water gushing out from such a spring. Likewise, matters will be more serious if the water is foul, brackish or muddy. Drinking such water suggests he will be afflicted with profound grief proportionate to the amount of water he drinks.
Wudhu and Ghusl:
Performing wudhu or ghusl with water from a stream or small river suggests one of the following: if the observer of the dream is grief-stricken, Allah will grant him happiness; if he is living in fear, Allah will grant him safety and security; if he is in debts, Allah will provide him with the means to fulfill his debt; if he is sinful, Allah will conceal his sins, grant him pardon and atonement; if he is ill, Allah will grant him complete cure. This inter etation is in the light of the story of Hazrat Ayyub (AS)
Water in a Dish or Bowl:
If a person dreams of himself as holding or possessing water contained in a dish or bowl and he is conscious of himself as being in a state of tuhr (i.e. ceremonial purity) or on a journey in an unknown and strange place, then such a bowl of water symbolizes his life span. If he dreams of drinking all the water it means his life span is completed: he should now prepare for the hereafter. If he drinks the water partially it means he still has a number of years to live. The same interpretation is given if, instead of water, the contents of the bowl or dish is thareed*.
(*Thareed: Pieces of bread steeped in broth) Drinking Water:
Consuming clean, sweet water in the dream means he will enjoy a clean and happy life provided he does not know its quantity nor is he aware of himself being in a state of tuhr nor does he know, himself to be on a journey in a strange, unknown place. The same applies if the
water is not sweet. But if the water is brackish and muddy, it means he will suffer from some ailment or disease whose seriousness will depend on how brackish or muddy the water is.
Water in a Glass Tumbler:
A tumbler or glass symbolizes one’s wife and the water symbolizes a son provided one does not drink the water. If a person sees himself as watering an orchard or irrigating a land from the water contained in such a tumbler, it means his matrimonial life will be one of happiness and prosperity. Then, if he sees the orchard or land yielding fruits or crops it means his wife will bear him children. But if he sees someone else watering his orchard or land it is a dream which is regarded as abominable and loathsome. Wudhu and Ghusl with. Milk, Wine, Oil etc.: If a person sees himself performing wudhu or ghus! with milk, wine, oil or any such liquid or fluid with which wudhu and ghusl are not valid, it means his worldly and religious pursuits will not be fulfilled.
Incomplete Wudhu:
An incomplete wudhu with ordinary clean water suggests that the observer’s worldly and religious pursuits will remain incomplete. But as opposed to wudhu with milk, wine etc, matters will be less harsh. The same applies with salaah which is incomplete.
Complete Wudhu or Ghusl:
A complete wudhu or ghusl suggests complete pardon from sins and evil.
Soil and Mud:
These symbolize grief, sorrow and fear. Their magnitude depends on how much soil or mud is seen.
Hot Water:
Hot water suggests grief caused by a king, ruler or government authorities. The hotter the water the more intense the affliction. At times, hot water also symbolizes fear, consternation or sickness.
