To see Azrael angry with oneself indicates that one shall die without repenting. To see Azrael standing over oneself or struggling with him indicates deliverance from a severe illness. To see Azrael also indicates a long life, passing through unavoidable circumstances, or experiencing extreme fear. To see oneself as Azrael indicates elevation in rank as a ruler and oppressing others, or becoming an executioner; it may also indicate that great events shall come to pass by one’s own hand. To kiss Azrael indicates receiving an inheritance.

To see Azrael may indicate separations, the death of the sick, losses, destruction, fire, bad news, the loss of possessions, economic stagnation, losing one’s means of livelihood, imprisonment, breaking one’s word, forgetting one’s knowledge, neglecting the prayers, the obstruction of good deeds, the cessation of distributing alms, denying the rights of others, withdrawing into private life, rising prices, a poor harvest, an unjust ruler, glassblowing, or bankruptcy.

If an unknown person approaches one in the street and secretly whispers something into one’s ear, that person represents the Angel of Death.

It provides early awareness; the person sees risks before they grow and can choose a more solid path.

Neglect, haste, untrustworthy people or uncontrolled behavior can increase the difficulty.

In the interpretation, the themes of work and responsibility, success and reputation, the emotional tone in the dream, and how the symbol concludes in the dream should be evaluated together.
