It should be noted that the earth or land is indicative of parents, because Allah says:It is also indicative of the wife because it may be tilled and it gives birth to or produces plants. And it may be indicative of livelihood,because provision is formed from it and from it comes forth what isbeneficial. If a person dreams that he owns good land or cultivates it,he will benefit from those whom we have mentioned.
If he dreams thatland turns into sea or ice or wood or anything on which nothing grows,that indicatesthat the dreamer will lose his crops and his livelihood,or he may lose hope of his wife conceiving, orone of his parents orrelatives may die, or there may be a problem with some of his livestock,becausethe land has become something that cannot be beneficial, whichis similar to livestock if it develops afault.
A stonemason dreamt that the land became iron and he benefitedfrom it. Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deensaid to him: Your profession willchange and you will become a blacksmith or you will sell yourtoolsand benefit from that.
Another man, who was a brickmaker, said that he dreamt thatevery brick he made became wood. Hesaid to him: You will becomea carpenter or one who carves wood or trees. And in both cases,thedreamers moved to the professions mentioned.If the earth gives forth plants with their flowers,pleasant fragrancesor beautiful vegetation, or if the land has springs giving water, or theland becomes
bread or honey and the like, and the dreamer and otherseat from it or collect it, all of that is indicative of benefits from trade orfarming, and of falling prices, and perhaps the dreamer will get someprovision from one of his parents or children or wives or friends.
If he dreams that the land became smoke or snakes or fire or foulmud and the like, that is indicative of problems due to either fear orsickness or an enemy or a loss or a dispute or Haraam wealth.
