Dream Interpretation by Contraposition


Interpretation by Contraposition


Some dreams are interpreted to mean the opposite when the elements are

related. This tradition comes from examples such as crying when one is extremely

happy; or when laughing in the face of adversities; or seeing the sun and

the moon fighting and interpreting it as a fight between two people; or calling

a flood an enemy and an enemy a flood, because both are destructive; or when

eating a fig in a dream to mean regret and regret to mean eating a fig, because

the fig tree is accursed in some traditions; or when one sees himself dead in a

dream, though even if he does not have the look of dead people to mean losses

or destruction of part of one's house; or interpreting locusts as warriors and

warriors as locusts, because ofthe destruction they both cause to a land; etcetera.





Interpretation by Correlation,

Relativity, and Approximation

In this case, laughing in a dream means sorrow, while smiling in a dream

means politeness and correct conduct. Crying in a dream is usually interpreted

as happiness, but when accompanied with intonation or wailing, it means a

calamity. As for putting grease over one's hair, dream interpreters infer the

meaning of adornment, while if it dribbles over one's face, they call it hypocrisy,

fawning, or adulation. 





As for saffron in a dream, they interpret it to mean praises

or commendation, while should its color manifest in one's body or clothing, then

they call it an illness. As for feathers in a dream, they call them wealth or comfort,

but when one sees himself flying with wings, they interpret it to mean travels

or rising in station, depending on how high one reaches in his dream. If one's

hand is cut off in a dream, and if he sees himself carrying it, it means having a

brother or a son, while if he loses it in the dream, it means an adversity or loss

of a brother or a son. If a sick person sees himself in a dream walking out of his

house in silence, it means his death and funeral, while ifhe speaks in the dream,

it means that he will recover from his illness.
