Islamic Interpretation of Dreams (Ibn-i Sirin):

Laughing in a dream means happiness and joy in wakefulness, except if one bursts with a horselaugh or falls over his back from laughing in his dream.

If so, then it means crying.

If one’s laughter in his dream is caused by a joke, then it denotes his dishonesty.

The same goes for laughing by imitation in a dream which means falling into sin. Laughing in a dream also could mean sorrow in wakefulness. Laughing in a dream also means that one will receive news about a newborn son.

If one’s laughter in a dream is as gentle and soft as a smile, then it denotes his good character and means happiness, or it could denote exactly what he shall see in wakefulness.

Ifone sees the earth laughing in a dream, it means a good harvest in that land.

Ifone sees a deceased person laughing in a dream, it means that he is in paradise, and enjoying the blessings ofthe hereafter. Laughing in a dream also represents Iightheadedness, frivolity and buoyancy.

This is particularly true when it denotes capable people, or people in authority, where laughing in a dream could mean their dismissal from office.
