Worldly Affairs
Imam Ja‘far al-Sadiq: To see in a dream that a worldly wish, whose fulfillment you greatly desire, will come to pass, yet that it does not, is interpreted as exceedingly auspicious.
Ibn Sirin: To see oneself occupied with worldly affairs in a dream signifies that one will be unable to devote time to one’s affairs of the hereafter. To see oneself engaged in an affair relating to the hereafter signifies that one will be happy in the hereafter.
To see in a dream that one’s worldly affairs have been set right signifies that one’s death is near; whereas to see that one’s worldly affairs have become disordered signifies the exact opposite of this interpretation.
Positive Meaning
With the right perspective, it can signify restoring balance, recovery, and developing a new understanding.
Shadow Meaning
Uncertainty, indecision, or a tendency to take on excessive burden may be observed.
Advice
In the interpretation, the themes of success and reputation, work and responsibility, health and body, spiritual signs, the emotional tone in the dream, and how the symbol concludes in the dream should be evaluated together.
