Islamic Interpretation of Dreams (Ibn-i Sirin):

(Person) When a man is recognized in a dream, he is the same person in wakefulness, or it could be his brother, or a person with the same resemblance or name.

If he takes something valuable or cherished from the person having the dream, it means the opposite, and one will receive from such a man what he wishes for in wakefulness.

Ifhe takes a shirt or a rope in the dream, it means that he will accept a promise from the person seeing the dream.

If he takes a child away from him, it means enmity between the two.

As explained under ‘Human being’ p. 217, seeing the children ofAdam in a dream is an exalted thing in general. Each category of people conveys a different interpretation.

The category of rulers and judges in a dream means courts.

The category of government authorities represents fear.

Soldiers mean travels. Craftsmen in a dream mean profits, or they could represent their respective trades. Women in a dream signify temptation, while pious people represent devotion.
