### Address General Principle Addressing people in a dream, particularly through a sermon (khutbah or khiṭāb), signifies one's authority, public standing, and potentially religious transformations. Seeing oneself or another person successfully delivering a complete sermon while people listen portends becoming an obeyed governor. The act of speaking carries significant weight in this interpretation, highlighting the power of communication and influence within the community. This aligns with the Islamic emphasis on leadership and the responsibilities that come with it.

This suggests a potential loss of status or influence, stemming from an inability to fulfill one's responsibilities. If a woman delivers the Friday sermon, similar to an official preacher, it foretells a disruption in her family life, specifically that her husband will divorce her and she will bear an illegitimate child. This drastic outcome highlights the importance of maintaining traditional roles and social structures within Islamic society, particularly the role of women in a religious context.

If one dreams of being on the minbar and speaking words of righteousness, it means attaining authority and power. The minbar symbolizes a position of influence from which one can guide and instruct others, reflecting a position of respect and piety within the community. This emphasizes the connection between spiritual leadership and worldly authority.

If the dreamer is a scholar, his rank will rise, signifying increased recognition and respect for his knowledge. However, if the dreamer is ignorant, it is interpreted as a negative omen, indicating that he will be seized for theft and crucified, representing a significant loss of reputation and status. This reflects the importance of knowledge and competence in attaining positions of authority, particularly within a religious context. Source: Ibn Shāhīn al-Ẓāhirī, *al-Ishārah fī ʿIlm al-ʿIbārah* --- ### Address General Principle If a non-Muslim delivers a sermon in a dream, it indicates that he will either accept Islam or die soon. This outcome signifies a moment of significant spiritual transformation, representing either a positive conversion or the ultimate transition to the afterlife. Alternatively, if a woman gives a sermon with wise admonitions, she will gain strength; however, if her sermon lacks wisdom, she will be exposed and scandalized. This signifies that women should use their voice wisely.

The act of starting a journey towards the south in a dream is also considered unfavorable.

If wind shakes the house, it warns of illness or instability in life. A doorway standing open signifies infidelity or loose morals, pointing to problems in relationships. If the door leaf is pulled off or broken, it means servants or those dependent on you will run away, suggesting betrayal or loss of support. Source: *Jūjiā bìyòng shìlèi quánjí* --- ### Address General Principle Dreams of places or destinations often reflect the dreamer's waking life context, whether the location is familiar or unfamiliar. If one sees a recognizable place like home or a specific city, it signifies the dream is anchored in reality, suggesting a focus on practical matters or familiar routines. This aligns with the idea that locations in dreams represent the environment and situations one navigates daily. This contrasts with purely symbolic elements, emphasizing a grounding presence.

If one sees their old address, it suggests a need for reflection on the past and learning from previous experiences. This could be revisiting old patterns or understanding how past choices have shaped the present. Conversely, a new address in a dream often indicates a desire or need for change in life. Perhaps there's a need to move on from old habits or embrace a new chapter. Similarly, seeing oneself addressing an envelope can signify the need to explore more possibilities or that one has found their direction and is ready to pursue their goals.
