In a dream it signifies good coming to him, especially if he lacks water or is poor; it signifies the filling of his need with a little provision. Whoever is unmarried and sees black mud [hama'a], which is black clay, will marry and gain kinship and in-laws [ahma', a play on hama'a]. Black mud signifies the lowest level of living. It may signify in-laws, so whatever benefit or harm comes from the black mud in the dream is attributed to his in-laws. Black mud is worry, grief and terror.
Whoever sees that he is entering black mud will fall into grief and worry, and that with lordship [su'dud], because of the blackness [sawad] of the mud, for every blackness is lordship. Black mud signifies surplus wealth, the beginnings of profit, and signs of good and lordship.
