    (Murder; Suicide) Killing in a dream represents a major sin. If one kills himself, or commits suicide in fear of the consequences of his sins in a dream, it means that he is offering true repentance from his sins, though committing suicide is a major sin that will lead its author to eternal sufferings in hell-fire. Killing a human being in a dream means committing an evil and an atrocious sin.

    On the other hand, committing an outrageous sin, or a conspicuously objectionable act in a dream may mean killing someone. If one is killed in a dream, it means longevity and that he will acquire a great wealth from the one who kills him in the dream. If one kills someone without slaughtering him in a dream, it means that the victim will benefit greatly from his assailant.

    Slaughtering in a dream means injustice. Killing someone in a dream also means relief from depression, grief, affliction and sorrow. Killing oneself in a dream also means recognition of the value of lost benefits.

    If one is murdered in a dream and did not know who killed him, it indicates his failure to fulfill his religious duties. If one recognizes his murderer in the dream, then it means triumph over one’s enemy. If one sees a victim swimming in a pool of blood that is pouring from his jugular veins in the dream, it means that the victim will suffer greatly from the defamation and slander of his assailant.

    If one intention¬ ally commits suicide in a dream, it means that he is a subversive rebel and a disobedient servant of God almighty. Confessing to a murder in a dream means gaining the upper hand. Killing in a dream also could mean that one is missing his prayers, or neglecting them.

    Killing one’s own son in a dream means receiving money.

If the victim in the dream is a witness in court, it means that his testimony will be accepted, or perhaps it could mean that he will enjoy abundance of blessings in his life.

  • Proxy:

    (Authorization; Power of attorney) A signed document empowering some¬ one to represent the principal in a dream represents accumulated sins. If one is commissioned to administer someone’s will in a dream, it means prosperity, indisputable control, or a license to operate someone else’s assets. If the person delegating that authority is sick, then signing a proxy means recovering from his illness.

    However, if he is healthy, then it means that he may fall sick, because a proxy means delegating an agency. If one is seeking an office in the govern- DICTIONARY OF DREAMS 345 ment, and if he signs a proxy in a dream, it means that he will win it.

  • Reverence:

    Majesty and reverence in a dream represents glad tidings, or rising into a high raking position and earning an exalted station in God’s sight whether the person seen in such a state is alive or dead. To recognize a state of reverence and majesty in a dream also means receiving guidance on the straight path, or repenting from one’s sins.

Practical Steps to Harness the Power of Your Dreams

• Reflect on Your Emotions

  Begin by journaling about your dream. Write down the details, such as how you felt during the fight, who or what you were battling, and the outcome. This will help you process not only the dream itself but also the emotions tied to your waking life.

  Identifying feelings of powerlessness or conflict in your daily life can offer clues to what your subconscious is trying to express. Consider whether there are current challenges you are facing that may have triggered this dream. Are there situations in your life where you feel the need to assert yourself?

  The analysis of your emotions can lead to insights that pave the way for personal empowerment.

• Embrace Active Empowerment Techniques

  Once you have identified the sources of your emotional struggles, consider adopting practices that help you reclaim your power. Techniques such as assertiveness training, physical exercise, or martial arts can serve as practical tools for empowerment. Engaging in sports not only improves your physical health but also fosters a sense of strength and control over your life circumstances.

  Meditation and mindfulness practices can help center your thoughts, allowing you to confront your fears with greater clarity and purpose. Visualize yourself overcoming obstacles, just as you do in your dreams. This can increase your resilience in waking life and may help you manage stress better, leading to improved mental well-being.

• Seek Guidance and Support

  Connect with mentors, friends, or spiritual advisors who resonate with your journey. Sharing your dreams and thoughts about them can often provide new perspectives that allow for deeper understanding. Counselors and professionals trained in dream analysis can also aid in exploring the significance of your dreams further.

  Together, you can unravel the layers of meaning, transforming your dream interpretations into actionable wisdom.
