Rain falling only on the Head Dream Explanation
It was mentioned to Imam Jafar (RA) that someone dreamed rain was falling only on their head. He replied, “This person must be very sinful. Haven’t they heard the verse from the Quran that says: ‘We sent down rains upon them, and those who were warned had a calamitous rain fall on them’?”
Rain: It symbolises assistance and blessings. The same applies to seeing clouds. But if rain or clouds are seen confined to a particular place, house or vicinity, it symbolises famine and sickness or some worldly ioss which the people of that place will suffer. In most cases it symbolises diificulties and hardships which will afflict the people of that place.
Rain of Milk and Honey: Rain of butter-oil (ghee), milk, honey or olive oil means the bounties of Allah will abound in that place. Similarly, any rain wherein there is a hint of goodness means the bestowing of Allah’s bounties.
A True Story: Once a person related to Hadhrat Aboo Bakr As-Siddeeq (RA) his dream saying that he dreamt that a cloud sent forth rains of honey and butter-oil (ghee) and there were some who grabbed much of it while others took little of it. Hadhrat Aboo Bakr (RA) interpreted his dream as follows: “As for the cloud, it symbolises Islam. The honey and ghee symbolises the sweetness and excellence of Islam. Similarly, any rain comprising of anything beneficial heralds the approaching of good times.”
Another True Story: A person said to Imaam Ja’far (RA) that he dreamed that he was soaking in the rain for one full day and night. The Imaam exclaimed: “How wonderful a dream you have seen! You are being soaked in the rahmah and bounties of Allah. You will be granted peace and rizg in abundance”.
Another True Story: It was said to Imaam Ja’far (RA) that a person dreamed that rain was falling particularly on his head. He said: “A very sinful person has seen this dream. Hasn’t he heard this verse of the Holy Qur’aan?: We sent down rains upon them, thus those who were warned, a calamitous rain had fallen on them”
Thunder with Wind: It symbolises a cruel and ruthless ruler whose subjects will soon witness his tyranny.
