Air is that which is between heaven and earth; if it moves it is called wind. If the word Hawa’ (air) is altered to read Hawaa, it means the inclinations of the self.
If a person dreams that he is rising up in the air, he will attain a high position, and if he stays up in the air, he will maintain that position, but if he falls he will lose his position. This is exactly what happened to me: I dreamt that I was rising up in the air, then I fell. I joined the Fuqaha’, then the judge envied me and tried to exclude me.
Some dream interpreters said: If a person dreams that he is standing in the air, he will attain a high position out of the blue but it will not be stable. If he dreams that the air is pure and he is sick, he will be healed, and if he has lost something, he will find it.
Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said: If he dreams that he is flying in the air with wings and is holding onto something, this is indicative of travel in general and may indicate moving from one place to another.
The coming of light and darkness is indicative of distress and idleness, or indicates that one who is afraid will feel secure and that one who wants to do something in secret will be able to achieve that.
Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said: The loss of an eye for one who is healthy, like the coming of night for one who is already ill, indicates that his sickness will get worse and last longer. If the night becomes more intense, that may indicate loss of vision also.
A man dreamt that a man had a flint and produced a good spark, creating a nice fire, and the dreamer had at cataracts in both eyes. He said to him: Rub your eyes and you will be healed.
Someone else said: The coming of night is indicative of tranquillity and rest. And it was said that it is indicative of injustice and misguidance. In my opinion, it depends on the circumstances and what the interpreter understands.
If the dreamer sees the stars revolving in the sky, the people of that place will be subjected to injustice, and if there is also thunder and lightning, it will be worse.
If he dreams that the entire year is a day in which the sun does not set, rather it rotates around the sky, that indicates that the king will be a dictatorship and will not consult anyone.
If he dreams that the stars have come out, he will go through a happy time, because the stars are light after darkness.
If he dreams that something emerged to him that night and he found it near the star, then his rights will be confirmed against the one who is denying them by means of testimony, because Allah says:
“Verily, the recitation of the Qur’an in the early dawn (i.e. the morning — Fajr prayer) is ever witnessed (attended by the angels in charge of mankind of the day and the night).” [Al-Isra’ 17:78]
