Knee ركبة

In a dream it is a man's labor and toil in his livelihood and pursuits. If he sees that its skin is strong, it is the strength of his livelihood. If he sees its skin peeled off, he will suffer labor and fatigue in his livelihood. If he sees that its skin is thick with swelling and scrofulous growths, he will obtain money from the labor of his livelihood, and money he had gathered with labor and toil will go [be lost]. The two knees are the body's strength, its movement and the quality of its work; if they are sound and strong, that is a sign of a journey or other movement, of works he will do and of bodily health. If pain or ailment is seen in them, it signifies heaviness of the knees in work, and if he is sick, it signifies his death. For a traveler, the knee is his conveyance, his stirrups and his riding animal, so whatever happens to it, relate it to what we have mentioned. The two knees are interpreted as brothers and partners, and sometimes as patrons [masters], with the two legs serving them. The word 'distress' [kurba] can be derived from 'knee' [rukba], just as 'taking' [akhdh] is derived from 'thigh' [fakhidh]. The knee may signify completing the bowing and prostration [in prayer]. It signifies a person's taking and giving, his movement and rest, his traveling and staying, what money he gathers and what he spends, and companionship, familiarity and love. Whoever sees that his knee has grown big, its bone has become strong, or its condition has become good — if he is in distress, God will relieve him; and that may signify his perseverance in prayer and fulfilling its conditions. If he sees it dislocated or broken, or ulcers or flowing blood appear in it, it signifies the halting of his movement or the disturbance of his rest; if he intends to travel, he will stay behind; he may be unable to benefit from his money; if there is affection between him and someone, it will be severed; and it may signify his vehicle or riding animal being put out of use.
