Dream meaning · al-Nabulsi

Prince (Amir) أمير

It signifies what provides a person with supplies (yamir — a play on amir) and helps him, and that by which he exercises command. It signifies the marriage of an unmarried man, so that he becomes like a prince in his own house. It may signify favor in whatever he is engaged in. Whoever assumes command in his dream, prison and shackles are feared for him, because the prince will come on the Day of Resurrection with his hands chained to his neck, and nothing will release them except justice he upheld.

(Whoever sees) that the sultan appointed him as his deputy over the most distant frontier outposts of the Muslims, it is honor, nobility and elevation of renown in proportion to how far those regions are from the sultan's seat. If a governor sees that his letter of appointment has come to him, that is his dismissal at once; likewise if he looks into his affair (likely "into a mirror"), it is his dismissal, and before long he will see someone like himself (in his place) — unless he is expecting a child, in which case he will then have a boy. Likewise, if he sees that he divorced his wife, he will be dismissed. Whoever carries food to a prince or a leader will be struck by sorrow, then joy will come to him and he will gain money from where he did not hope. The ruling prince taking off his cap, his robe, his outer coat or his belt is slackness in his rule, and his putting them on is his attending to the means of his governance. His wearing a new boot is winning the wealth of idolaters and protected non-Muslim subjects. A governor's dismissal in sleep is his (continued) appointment. Whoever of the slaves assumes command in a dream will become free, or a worshipper not bound by the world, and will become master of himself.
