Mill (millstone) رحى

In a dream it signifies relief for its owners from their straits, or their wealth after poverty; a wife for a bachelor, a husband for an unmarried woman, and the servant in the house. Seeing a mill in a house where they are not accustomed to having one signifies troubles, being overpowered and quarrels. If bread, meat or honey is ground in it, it signifies the corruption of its people and their showing off, or their being crushed. If wheat, barley or something useful is ground in it, it signifies the easing of their affairs, an abundant flow of their provision, their healing from their illnesses and the renewal of someone who looks after their interests. A large mill, if seen in the middle of the city or in the congregational mosques: if the town is in ruin it is war, especially if it is grinding fire or rocks; otherwise it is plague, especially if what it grinds is rotten barley, water and mud, or lean meat. Some said: a water mill is a man through whose hands much money flows, a manager of affairs; whoever takes refuge with him, his body becomes healthy.

Whoever sees a mill turning, bread will come to him in proportion to the flour, and the water entering the mill flows from the direction of this man mentioned. A mill turning without wheat may be toil; and if a mill turns crookedly, prices will rise.

Whoever sees that he has a mill turned by a water-wheel, it is abundant provision for the one who sees it.

Whoever sees a mill turning without grinding, it is travel; a mill turning for no reason is the nearness of the dreamer's death. As for a hand mill, it is two sinful men who are partners and whom no one else can reform.

Whoever sees that he turns the mill by hand and grinds with it relies [on himself] in his religion and livelihood, and will obtain a living and provision in proportion to the flour that came out. A mill signifies bad matters, and trustworthy servants. It is said a mill signifies weddings and circumcisions.

Whoever sees a mill in his hand will be beaten and imprisoned.

Whoever sees a mill broken: if he is imprisoned he will escape and come out; if he is worried his worry will be relieved; if he is in a perilous situation he will be saved — or he will die. Whoever sees that he has a mill grinding food by running water or without water, his livelihood comes from the labor of others, and the livelihood's strength and soundness will be in proportion to the mill's strength, how much it grinds, the goodness of its location and its solid construction. If he sees that the millstone broke, the owner of the mill will die. If he sees it grinding stones, fear will befall him; the mill signifies fear. Whoever buys a mill will marry if he is single, or marry off his daughter, or buy a servant, or travel if he is one who travels. A windmill is a quarrel that will not last. It is said the breaking of a mill signifies its owner's relief from worries, and it is said the death of its owner. As for a saffron mill, it signifies joys and delights, a good condition and good praise; if it signifies a woman or a man, it signifies dignity and tranquility for them; it may signify illness from yellow bile. Water mills and wind mills are the ruler's servants or his doorkeeper; that may signify the easing of what is difficult, ships sailing and rain falling. A hand mill signifies rest and relief; it may signify evil and quarreling, a wife or a slave girl; it may signify a wife, a livelihood and provision. If it is complete with all its equipment, it signifies the accomplishment of affairs and a quick journey. It signifies a gluttonous woman, full of evil, who keeps what she has for herself.
