It has several aspects. Al-Kirmani said: Whoever sees that he gave birth to a girl will obtain much good.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 90

(And whoever sees) that he gave birth to a boy will be struck by severe distress, and hateful words will reach him, and perhaps he will die.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 90

(And whoever sees) that his wife or his slave girl gave birth to a boy, then she will bear a girl if she is pregnant; and if she is not pregnant, then distress will befall him and then Allah will relieve him of it. And if there is in the dream something indicating a secret, then death is feared for him.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 90

(And whoever sees) that one of the two of them bore a boy, then it is interpreted by the opposite. And it is said that the dream of a son is interpreted as a daughter, and likewise the daughter as a son — unless the nature of the dreamer is such that when he sees something it comes about according to its literal reality.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 90

(And whoever sees) that he gave birth from his mouth: if he is sick, then it is the expiry of his term of life; and perhaps the dreamer was constrained by someone, so he spoke with him with fine words.

(And) Abu Sa'id al-Wa'iz said: A man's giving birth to a boy is his entering into a weighty matter that is not his concern, then he escapes and triumphs over his enemy; and perhaps it indicates deliverance from a base woman.
