Dream meaning · al-Nabulsi

Water channel (conduit, qanat) قناة

In a dream it is a woman, or money, or a scholar.

Whoever sees that he made a channel flow will marry and gain money and livelihood, or do a work for himself specifically in his religion and worldly life, or for people generally.

Whoever sees the channel will be harmed by some of the people of his household. Channels are servants, slaves or animals set aside for the needs of the place. The channel may signify the sewer drain, and it may signify a source of provision such as a market or a shop. Whoever sees that he dug a channel to water crops or properties, it signifies wealth, abundance and spending on his dependants. If he cuts off a channel from crops or properties, he will cut off his kindness from his family; if he is married he will divorce his wife or put his slave woman out from among his family and clan; he may annul his endowment, free his slave, or dismiss from his service someone who used to work for him and benefit him.

Whoever sees a channel flowing in his house or orchard: if he is distressed, God the Exalted will relieve him, or he will obtain good. If he sees that the channel has become blocked, his ways will be spoiled for him, or the servant woman will become pregnant by him and he will be worried about it.

Whoever sees that he urinated in an unknown channel, or fell into it, or was soiled by its filth, will commit something unlawful or fall into a predicament because of a servant or a woman. The channel signifies the household servant because of the dirt of the people and the household that runs onto it. It may signify churches, and it may signify an unlawful private part, especially a channel running through streets and neighborhoods. It may signify relief [faraj] from distress, because it is the relief of the people of the house when it flows, and their worry when it is held back or blocked.

Whoever sees that a house's channel became blocked, his wife will rebel against him or his goods will not sell, and he will be worried about it. It may signify urinary retention afflicting him from difficulty in urinating. Whoever digs a channel and no water flows in it will get involved in a scheme; anyone who digs and sees no water is scheming.
