Dream meaning · al-Nabulsi

Quince سفرجل

In a dream it is illness.

Whoever sees that he is eating it while he is ill will be healed; if he is a governor he will attain his wish through his office; if a healthy person eats it, it is guidance; and if he is a merchant he will profit.

Whoever sees that he is pressing quinces will travel on business and obtain great profit. The quince tree is a man of resolve from whom no benefit comes, because of its yellowness. It is also said that the quince is bad in a dream, because of its astringency. Green quince is better than yellow. The quince signifies a great journey [wordplay: safarjal (quince) and safar, travel], and it may signify stinginess and the keeping of secrets because it holds and contracts. A single quince signifies a beautiful, distinguished woman. Most interpreters disliked the quince and said it is illness because of its very yellow color and its astringency. Some say it ought to signify, by its yellowness, the yellowness of gold, and, by its astringency, that the gold is held back in some way. It is said that it signifies a journey; some said it is a journey that takes place with ease and companionship; some said it is a journey with no good in it; and some said that the quince is praiseworthy in a dream for whoever sees it, in whatever state he sees it.
