Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi, Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam

Whoever sees in a dream that he is standing in the air between the sky and the earth attains might from a ruler and power, but he has no stability in that; and if the seer is a man of wishful fancies and delusion, then his dream is void.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, pp. 361–362

(And whoever sees) that he is walking in the air horizontally, without ascending, attains great might and lawful wealth if he is worthy of that; otherwise he will travel, if he is a man of wishful fancies.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, pp. 361–362

(And whoever sees) that he is suspended between the sky and the earth, then his heart is preoccupied and he does not know what to do.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, pp. 361–362

And whoever falls from the air, then he falls from his rank and standing; and if he has neither rank nor standing, then he despairs of a matter he is aiming at and hoping for.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, pp. 361–362

attributed to Ibn Sirin, Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam

(The air) perhaps it indicates its own name [hawā, "whim/caprice"], so whoever sees himself in it standing, or sitting, or striving, then he is following a whim in his religion or is in peril regarding his worldly affairs.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 430–433

And his spirit is in the walking, which indicates his deeds in the air, or his condition in waking life, and his hopes.

And if he is in a ship at sea, destruction is feared for him; and if he is on a journey, fear will befall him in it; and if he is ill, he is on the brink of perishing.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 430–433

And if he falls from his place, he is ruined in his condition and plunges down in his deeds, on account of His saying, exalted be He: "The wind carries him headlong into a remote place."

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 430–433

And if he dies in his fall, that is more indicative of the utmost attainment of the ultimate end of what it signifies: of one who dies, or of innovation, or of being killed, or the like of that.

Kinds and conditions of Air

darkened air and dust

attributed to Ibn Sirin, Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam

...guidance is his outlook. And if the vision belongs to a scholar, and they were crying out for help in the dream, or weeping and imploring, then a hardship has befallen them in proportion to the darkness — either a trial (fitnah), or a distress, or drought and famine.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 434–437

And likewise its reddening. The Arabs call a year of drought a "dust-grey year," because of the rising of dust into the air from the severity of the drought; so the air appears thus in the eye of the hungry man, and it seems to him that there is smoke in it. How much more so when that which darkened the air was smoke — for that is a punishment, from drought or otherwise.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 434–437

colors of the air

attributed to Ibn Sirin, Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam

As for the colors of the air: if the seer's eye turns black so that he does not see the sky, then if the vision pertains to himself in particular, matters will darken between him and those above him among the chiefs; and if it does not pertain to him with respect to a chief, his sight will be blinded and he will be veiled from light.
