Cloud Shading the Head: If a cloud shades the dreamer's head, they will receive abundant goodness and blessings that year. Reference: Allah says in the Quran: "And We shaded you with clouds and sent down to you manna and quails, [saying], 'Eat from the good things with which We have provided you.'" (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:57). Cloud as a Garment: If one sees a cloud turning into a black garment which they then wear, it indicates they will acquire unique knowledge possessed by no one else. Covering the World without Rain: If one sees a cloud covering the entire world but it does not rain, it is a bad omen.

Sponge (Isfanj): However, the specific type of "cloud" (substance) that is brought from the river/sea banks—known in Arabic as Isfanj (Sponge)—has a different meaning.

Eyebrows
Hazrat Ibn Sirin (R.A) Symbol of Faith: Seeing eyebrows in a dream represents one's religion (Deen). Perfect Eyebrows: If one sees that their eyebrows are full and without defect, it is a sign that their beauty and adornment (Zeenat) are complete and perfect. Fallen Eyebrows: If one sees that their eyebrows have fallen out, the interpretation is the opposite (defect in beauty or faith).

Hazrat Jabir Maghribi (R.A) One Fallen, One Plucked: If one sees one eyebrow fallen out and the other plucked/removed, it is a sign of loss in wealth and rank (Martaba).

Defeating Iblis: If one sees that they have fought Iblis and defeated him, it is proof that their inclination is towards righteousness and goodness. Being Defeated: If one sees that Iblis has overpowered them, it indicates an inclination towards the path of evil and corruption. Speaking with Satan: If one sees Satan speaking to them, it means he will divert the dreamer from the righteous path and prevent them from obeying Allah. Being Led by Iblis: If one sees Iblis taking their hand to lead them somewhere, but the dreamer recites "La Hawla Wala Quwwata Illa Billahil Aliyyil Azeem" (There is no power nor strength except with Allah), it indicates they will fall into a major sin but will eventually stop due to someone's advice. Chaining Iblis: If one sees they have put a collar or chain around Iblis's neck, it is a sign that joy will reach the righteous and religious people. Weak Iblis: If Iblis appears weak and helpless, it signifies that righteous scholars and good people will gain strength.

Badrook (Vegetable / Herb)
The Interpretation of Eating Basil in a Dream Hazrat Ibn Sirin (R.A) has stated that if one dreams of eating Basil (Badruj), it is evidence that their work will be accomplished and their wishes granted. This is supported by the saying of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) regarding this plant: "How pure you are, and how good is your scent." Furthermore, Hazrat Ja’far Sadiq (R.A) explained that eating Basil in a dream points to three outcomes: First, the fulfillment of one’s needs (Hajat); second, the attainment of desires; and third, meeting someone who is currently absent or far away.
The Spindle (Badrisah / Charkhe ki Phirki)
Interpretation by Hazrat Kirmani (R.A) Hazrat Kirmani (R.A) states that if a woman dreams that she has found a spindle (phirki) or that someone has given one to her, it is evidence that she will be blessed with a helper or a maidservant. However, if a woman sees in her dream that the spindle has fallen or separated from the spinning wheel's axle, it signifies that the bond of love between her and her husband may be severed.
Eggplant (Baadinjan / Baingan)
Interpretation by Hazrat Ibn Sirin (R.A) Hazrat Ibn Sirin (R.A) states that eating eggplant in a dream—whether it is in season or out of season, cooked or raw, fresh or dried—is a sign of sorrow. The amount of eggplant consumed corresponds to the level of grief and distress one may experience. Interpretation by Hazrat Ibrahim Kirmani (R.A) Hazrat Ibrahim Kirmani (R.A) states that if someone dreams of possessing many eggplants but sells them all, gives them away, or throws them out of their house without eating them, it is a positive sign. This indicates that the dreamer will find relief and salvation from their grief and anxieties.
Carrying a Load (Bojh Uthana)
Interpretation by Hazrat Ibn Sirin (R.A) Hazrat Ibn Sirin (R.A) states that if a person dreams of carrying a light load on their back, it signifies that they will receive a benefit proportional to that weight. However, if the load is perceived as heavy, it is evidence of a burden of sins and transgressions. This is based on the Divine Commandment: "That they may bear their own burdens in full on the Day of Resurrection." Interpretation by Hazrat Kirmani (R.A) Hazrat Kirmani (R.A) explains that if someone dreams of possessing a large load and knows it belongs to them, the outcome—whether it be profit, loss, or misfortune—will depend on the nature of that load. If the dreamer carries a load that does not belong to them, the resulting good or evil associated with that burden will still reflect upon the dreamer.
Rain (Barish / Baaran)
Interpretation by Hazrat Daniyal (A.S) Hazrat Daniyal (A.S) states that seeing rain in a dream signifies mercy and blessings from Allah Almighty upon His servants, especially when the rain is widespread. This is supported by the Quranic verse: "And He is it Who sends down the rain after they have despaired, and spreads His mercy." Seeing rain at its proper time is highly auspicious, particularly if people are longing for it. However, if one sees a heavy, localized rain falling only on their specific street or house and nowhere else, it indicates sorrow or illness for the people of that area. Conversely, gentle and steady rain signifies goodness and prosperity for the community. If rain falls at the beginning of the year or month, it indicates an abundance of blessings during that period. However, heavy black rain suggests a severe illness that may lead to destruction. Interpretation by Hazrat Ibn Sirin (R.A) Hazrat Ibn Sirin (R.A) states that if one sees heavy rain falling at its usual time, it may signify the arrival of a trial or a period of distress. If a person wipes themselves with rainwater, they will find safety from fear and sorrow. If rain falls directly on one's head, it suggests a forthcoming journey that will result in profit and well-being. If rain falls like a storm over everyone, it warns of sudden death or a calamity in that region. If every drop of rain produces a sound, it signifies an increase in the dreamer’s fame and status. If one sees massive rainfall that causes rivers to overflow but remains unharmed, it suggests that while a ruler may be oppressive, the dreamer will remain protected. If they are unable to cross those rivers, it means they will successfully ward off the ruler’s mischief. Water appearing to fall from the air like rain indicates divine punishment or disease in that location. Interpretation by Hazrat Kirmani (R.A) Hazrat Kirmani (R.A) states that if honey falls from the sky instead of rain, it signifies immense blessings and wealth in the land. Generally, the interpretation of anything seen falling from the sky depends on the nature of that substance. Drinking clean and clear rainwater indicates receiving goodness and comfort, whereas drinking dark or bitter rainwater suggests suffering from illness and grief. Interpretation by Hazrat Imam Ja'far Sadiq (R.A) Hazrat Ja'far Sadiq (R.A) identifies twelve meanings for seeing rain in a dream: Mercy 2. Blessings 3. A cry for help 4. Suffering and illness 5. Calamity 6. Conflict 7. Bloodshed 8. Trials (Fitna) 9. Famine 10. Attaining safety 11. Disbelief 12. Falsehood.

Command/Authority (Farman). Fulfilling Desires (Murad ka pana). Monetary Value: It also represents gaining wealth equal to the value of the hawk.
