Alevi

Seeing an Alevi in a dream is auspicious for the dreamer. It is related that there are ill-intentioned people around the dreamer, that these people, who harbour evil thoughts concerning him, will seek to undermine him, but that, because the dreamer is pure of heart, he will perceive their designs and, by answering them, cause them to be ashamed.

If the Alevi seen in the dream has his head wrapped and wears a turban, it signifies that the dreamer will receive support, in his most difficult hour, from a well-mannered and virtuous person around him, and that with this support he will set his affairs in order.

According to some interpreters of dreams, seeing an Alevi with his head wrapped and wearing a turban signifies that the dreamer is on the verge of straying from the right path and has followed the ill-intentioned people around him; therefore, just as he is about to suffer both material and spiritual losses, though chiefly spiritual ones, a pure-hearted hand will be extended to him. It indicates that, through this pure-intentioned and courageous hand, the dreamer’s spirituality will once again grow strong, that he will return to the right path and repent.

Seeing an Alevi in a dream also symbolizes success and strength. It indicates that the dreamer will soon attain victory in a matter he greatly desires, and that this victory will further beautify and transform his life.

To receive an Alevi person as a guest in one’s home in a dream signifies that abundance, prosperity, peace and happiness will enter the dreamer’s household, and that the goodness of that person will benefit those around him.

To be an Alevi in a dream signifies that the dreamer will encounter a new opportunity in his life. It indicates that an offer will suddenly come to him at a completely unexpected time, that this offer will be important enough to change his life, and that, if the dreamer accepts it, he will attain peace and abundant earnings.

If the dreamer is ill and sees in a dream that he is an Alevi, it is a harbinger that he will recover shortly.

To perform the semah after becoming an Alevi in a dream indicates that great power will come into the dreamer’s hands, and that he will use this power to help many people, raise up the afflicted, provide homes for the homeless, and become a means by which the wishes of many people are fulfilled.

Whoever sees himself from outside as an Alevi in a dream, it is related that he will soon receive the praise of those around him, attain a highly respected position in society, and become so renowned that his name will frequently be spoken.

Seeing an Alevi dede in a dream is among the most auspicious dreams that may be seen. It indicates that there are people around the dreamer who are experiencing disputes, but that these disputes will be resolved and that peace and happiness will take the place of hatred in the surroundings.

If the Alevi dede seen in the dream is patting the dreamer’s back, it is related that the dreamer will be the one who resolves the troubles and disputes among those around him.

If the Alevi dede seen in the dream extends his hand to the dreamer, it signifies that this person will be happy throughout his life, withstand all adversities, spread goodness, beauty and assistance around him, and always be beneficial. It is related that he will earn great merit, especially by supporting those whose spirituality is not strong.

Seeing an Alevi community in a dream indicates that the dreamer will attain a highly influential position within the congregation, and will become someone greatly esteemed by society, whose word is deeply respected and whose counsel is continually sought. It signifies that the dreamer continually illuminates his surroundings like a candle, and strengthens the spirituality of those who have strayed by showing them the right path once more.

Being expelled from an Alevi community in a dream is related to the person’s straying from the path because of his weakened spirituality, suffering material loss, and, unless he mends his ways, finding his life becoming even more difficult.

Seeing an Alevi community performing the prayer in a dream indicates that the dreamer’s faith has weakened from time to time, that if he encounters an adverse situation his spirituality declines and grows feeble, and that at times he commits shirk to the extent of denying the Creator; yet it indicates that, after being warned by a well-intentioned person in his surroundings, his spirituality will once again grow strong.

Praying with Alevis in a dream signifies that the dreamer will attain a success he has sincerely desired for a long time, and that after the hardships he has endured he will reach victory. It indicates that, although there are people around the dreamer who do not truly wish for this success, envy him, and even strive to prevent him from attaining it, the dreamer will prevail over them because he has kept his spirituality strong.

According to some interpreters of dreams, praying with Alevis in a dream is related to the dreamer’s desire to acquire property of material value, his inability to fulfil this desire because he is not financially strong enough, and his receiving unexpected, gratuitous financial support from someone just as he is about to give up, enabling him to purchase this property.

Seeing a cemevi in a dream is related to the dreamer’s being overcome by a sense of loneliness. It indicates that the dreamer has not formed very close bonds with the people around him, that although he loves and values those around him, he cannot readily show his feelings, and that for this reason he feels isolated and worthless.

It signifies that the dreamer feels well when he is shown love and respect, and even that his family and close circle will succeed through these demonstrations of affection.

It is a harbinger for those who see a cemevi in a dream that they will always need support in their lives, and that without this support their spirituality will fall into ruin; however, if this support arrives, then, quite to the contrary, they will be happy by accomplishing many successes.

Going to a cemevi in a dream signifies that the dreamer is experiencing turmoil within his inner world, has anxieties and apprehensions concerning life, and is striving greatly to rid himself of these anxieties and fears. It indicates that the dreamer needs the support of those around him, that he will receive this support from a woman of strong spirituality, and that he will find relief.

Taking food while going to a cemevi in a dream is related to the dreamer’s being delivered from hardship, his work becoming more prosperous, his home turning into an even happier place, and his being purified of ambition and pride.

It can be read as a sign of easing, receiving support, gaining morale, or a fruitful development.

Underestimating opportunities, succumbing to comfort, or being late may reduce the positive effect.

In the interpretation, the themes of work and responsibility, home and environment, emotional life, spiritual signs, the emotional tone in the dream, and how the symbol concluded in the dream should be evaluated together.
