If he escapes from it in his dream, or his garment and his body are kept safe from it in that mire, he will be kept safe from what he had fallen into of sin in religion and ruin in this world; otherwise it will befall him in the measure of what afflicted him.

And the more sticky its clay or the deeper its bottom, the harder and more severe is that in its indication; and the more foul its smell and the blacker its colour, the more it indicates his crime, the abundance of his sins and the wickedness of his intentions.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 467–470

Likewise, kneading clay and moulding it into bricks — there is no good in it, because it indicates distress and quarrelling, until its brick dries or becomes dust, whereupon it turns into wealth that he attains only after toil, grief, quarrelling and affliction.
