Imitating

To imitate people in a dream signifies speaking meaningless words, carrying out one’s work deceitfully, seeking to win favour, and sycophancy.

To imitate a stranger in a dream signifies speaking their language; to imitate birds and animals signifies calling people to peace and the enlightened path, and being gentle of speech.

For a person to imitate animals or birds in a dream signifies that he is gentle of speech and that people will turn toward reconciliation and rectitude.

To imitate women in a dream signifies becoming an interpreter or uttering many meaningless words. Sometimes this dream signifies practising deceit in one’s craft, seeking to win people’s favour, and sycophancy.

Ibn Sirin: If a woman sees in a dream that she has donned men’s clothing and is imitating their appearance and movements, then, if she is well dressed, it signifies advancement in her life; and if the clothing is unsuitable, it signifies deviation and fear. Wearing the traditional clothing of another religious group signifies celebration, forming friendships, and participating in their religious festivals.

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, emotional life, success and reputation, the emotional tone in the dream and how the symbol concludes in the dream should be evaluated together.
