Dream meaning · al-Nabulsi

Milk لبن

In a dream it is the fitra (innate natural disposition) of Islam, and lawful money without toil. Curdled milk is unlawful money, because of its sourness and the loss of its fat.

(Whoever sees), among people, a man or a woman with milk in his or her breast will amass money. If he sees milk flowing from the breasts, the world will flow abundantly for him. If a woman sees milk in her breast when she has no milk in waking life, or that she is nursing a boy, a man or a woman, the doors of this world will close on both the one nursing and the one nursed. Human milk is confinement and constriction for the nurse and the nursling. If he sees that he bought a wet nurse to nurse his child, he will raise his child according to his own character. It is also said that if he sucked a woman's milk, he will obtain money and profit.

(Whoever sees) that he drank a horse's milk, the sultan will love him and he will obtain good from him. Whoever drinks the milk of a mare will come upon a king. The milk of livestock is lawful money from a sultan and good provision in proportion to what was milked. Milking is cunning. Milking a she-camel is an office collecting charity (zakat) in Arab lands; milking a Bactrian camel is an office in non-Arab lands, performed according to the Sunnah and Islamic fitra. If he milked it and blood came out, he will be unjust in his authority; if he milked poison from it, he will reap unlawful money. If a merchant milked it and milk came out, he will gain lawful provision and profit in his trade, and the world will flow for him as much as the udders flowed. The milk of a milch camel is fitra in religion: whoever drinks of it, or sucks once, twice or three times, is firm on the fitra — he prays, fasts, pays zakat and gives charity; and for the drinker it is lawful money, knowledge and wisdom. Milking is dominion and wealth.

(Whoever sees) that he milked a she-camel and drank its milk will marry a righteous woman; if he is married, a boy will be born to him in whom there will be blessing.

(Whoever sees) that he milked a cow and drank its milk: if he is a slave, he will be freed; if he is poor, he will become rich. The milk of sheep and goats is money collected from Arabs and non-Arabs.

(Whoever sees) that he drank sheep's milk will obtain good, rest and joy. The milk of a lioness is money for the one who drinks it and victory over his enemy, and the sultan's enmity toward people; whoever drinks it will obtain money from a tyrannical sultan or from the toil of his own hands. Eagle's milk is honor and victory over a strong, noble enemy for the one who drinks it. Leopard's milk, for whoever drinks it, is the display of enmity. Wolf's milk is a fine, great fear, strength of command and harm to the livelihood of whoever drinks it; it is also said it is money and authority.

(Whoever sees) that he drank it will obtain leadership and take control of the people of that town, and will consume their wealth and his own. Pig's milk is the change and loss of the drinker's mind; whoever drinks a little of it, lawful money will come to him, and if he drinks a lot, he will obtain unlawful money. The milk of a bitch is great fear for the one who drinks it and money he obtains through an unjust person; it is also said that whoever drinks it will obtain power and leadership over the people of his town. It is also said that the milks of wild animals all signify doubt in religion. The milk of the wild ass is illness followed by recovery. The milk of a gazelle is little provision. The milk of creatures that have no milk, if a person finds it, he will possess what he wishes for. The milk of biting and stinging creatures is reconciliation between him and his enemies. Whoever drinks snake's milk will do a deed with which God Most High is pleased.

(Whoever sees) that he drank it will obtain joy and be saved from afflictions. Fox's milk is an illness followed by recovery, and a small provision from a debt owed by a man; it is also said, recovery from illness. The milk of the domestic donkey is a slight illness; whoever drinks the milk of a she-ass will obtain good. Cat's milk is a slight illness or a dispute.

(Whoever sees) milk coming out of the ground, it is the appearance of injustice and turmoil in which blood will be shed in proportion to that milk. Sheep's milk is noble wealth; cow's milk is affluence; mule's milk is hardship and terror; pig's milk is obtaining great wealth. Human milk, for a sick person who drinks it, is recovery from illness, because his growth and strength came from it. The milk of a dog or a cat is illness or fear.

(Whoever sees) that he spilled milk has squandered (something). Milk signifies wealth, increased lifespan, pregnancy, the disclosure of secrets, knowledge and the affirmation of God's oneness. It signifies medicine for illnesses, provision, and owning an animal or taking on its character. The milk of cows, sheep, camels and water buffalo is all gathered wealth. Curdled milk is worry. The milk of wild animals and birds, if found, is a little money, especially hare's milk. Horse's milk is a good name and strength. The milk of a cat or a fox is wickedness. Human milk is a deposit that should not be spent on other than its owner. The milk of an unknown wild animal is honor and vigor for the sick, release from prison, or money taken by force.
