Voice (sound) صوت

In a dream it is a person's reputation and renown. Whoever sees that his voice is strong, that is his reputation among people and his renown among them; and if he sees that it is weak, it is the opposite.

Whoever sees that he raises his voice will gain power over people in proportion to how loud his voice is, and that will be in something reprehensible. If he sees that he heard a person's voice, he will obtain an office in proportion to the clarity of the voice, the pleasantness of the throat and the soundness of the body. A human voice heard from an animal signifies many great benefits, especially if the person sees that it tells him something he loves and enjoys, and he sees that what is said to him is true and he believes it. If he raises his voice above the voice of a scholar, he will commit a sin. A weak voice is apprehension and fear; lowering one's voice is religion and humility. When the voices of governors and police chiefs are faint and weak, they will be dismissed from office, weakened and humiliated.
