In a dream it is the world, and the dung is wealth.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, p. 342

So whoever sees himself upon a dunghill, or that he has bought it, or inherited it, or that his house has become an uninhabited dunghill: if he was ill or fearful of perishing for some cause, he is saved, or he rises to worldly fortune.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, p. 342

And if he sees that, then he becomes rich after his poverty, and perhaps he inherits an inheritance.

And if he was unmarried, he marries.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, p. 342

Ibn Shahin al-Zahiri, al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat

It is the world, because some people asked the Prophet (peace be upon him) about the nature of this world, and he pointed to a dunghill.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 118

Some interpreters said: everything that is expended in this world of fine foods, fine garments, furnishings and riding beasts — the end of all of that, when it is spoiled, is the dunghill; and by this reasoning the world is gathered together in it.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 118

So whoever sees a dunghill, then it is the attainment of a firm footing in the world, especially if he sits upon it or sees in it something he takes hold of securely. And perhaps it indicates grief, because it is the habit of the world that grief in it is never cut off.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 118

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

(The dunghill) is this world, and to it the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) likened it when he stood upon it. And dung is water, because it comes from the soil of the earth and from the leftovers of what people handle and live upon, such as bones, potsherds, date-pits, straw and the like — which in interpretation are wealth.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 531–534

So whoever sees himself upon a dunghill that is not trodden upon, then look at his condition and at what befits him in his deeds: if he is ill or fearing destruction for some cause, it gives him glad tidings of deliverance, or of rising up to this world, which is likened to a dunghill.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 531–534

And if a poor man sees that, he will become rich after his poverty and will gain wealth after his need; and if he has someone whose inheritance he hopes for, he will inherit from him, because dung is gathered by others and is not from his own earning.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 531–534

And the dunghill is like wealth gathered from here and there without scrupulousness or care in seeking what is lawful, because of the abundance of mixing, filth and refuse in it.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 531–534

And if he is unmarried, he will marry, and the dung is her trousseau and her odds and ends scraped together from every side, bought from every place and borrowed from every house.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 531–534

And if that is not the case, then the dunghill is his shop and his store, and it is not unlikely that he is a money-changer, or a vintner, or a dealer in odds and ends, or one who deals with servants of the trades, such as the baker.
