Ja‘far al-Sadiq subjects seeing wind to eight interpretations: glad tidings, having one’s word obeyed, wealth, death, torment, illness, recovery, and relief.

According to another narration: seeing wind in a dream signifies the sultan or ruler, because of his overcoming and prevailing over those beneath him in strength with regard to benefit and harm. At times it signifies the sultan’s dominion and army, his helpers, and the reports of commanders and soldiers. It is known that the wind was in the service and aid of Solomon (peace be upon him). At times the wind blowing from the west signifies ruin and calamity, because of the sound it makes when blowing violently, its felling of trees, and its sinking of ships. For it was this wind that destroyed the people of ‘Ad. At times, the wind that carries clouds laden with mercy signifies cheapness and abundance, victory, and glad tidings. At times wind signifies epidemic illnesses such as a cold and headache.

If a person sees in a dream that the wind takes him from his place and carries him away without fear, danger, or darkness, then, if he is fit for it, he will become a commander over people; or, if his craft is stagnant and the goods in his hand are unsaleable, his craft will become prosperous. If a fearful person sees in a dream that the wind lifts him and carries him away, and if dark dust, earth, sound, screams, and similar conditions accompany the wind, then, if the dreamer is on a ship, he will perish; if he has an illness, his affliction will increase. If he is neither on a ship nor ill, hardship and distress will befall him.

Nevertheless, winds may also represent illness, rheumatism, sneezing, pain, or headaches. Whoever sees the wind carrying him from one place to another in a sky without clouds or darkness will, if fit for it, preside over people, succeed in his work, or dispose of goods that have been stagnant. If winds lift someone who is under fear or oppression, and black clouds or a cloud of dust accompany them, and the person is on a journey, this signifies that he will encounter great difficulties; if he is ill, his illness will worsen; he will suffer pressure from a higher authority, or a judge will rule against him.

If it comes with a shrill or piercing sound, it signifies a severe punishment for that place.
