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

A solitary house indicates a woman.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 107

Whoever sees a house upon a wooden post, then it indicates marriage to a woman of nobility and chastity, and that the burden of her maintenance will be upon his neck, and perhaps she will become pregnant by him.

house (room/dwelling)

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

In a dream it has several aspects: it is the man's wife to whom he retires, and from this it is said "So-and-so entered his house" when he marries.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, pp. 30–31

And perhaps his house indicates his body. So if he says, "I saw as though I had built a new room in my house," then if he was sick he recovered and his body became sound.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, pp. 30–31

upper room

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

(The upper room) indicates elevation, and the exchanging of a concubine for a free woman, because of the upper room's height above the house. It indicates the security of one who is afraid, because of His words, exalted be He: "and they, in the upper rooms, are secure." It indicates Paradise, because of His words, exalted be He: "Those will be rewarded with the upper room for what they endured." It also indicates the mihrab, because the Arabs call it by that name.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 503–506

So whoever builds an upper room atop his house and sees his wife forbidding him from that and resenting his act, or weeping with wailing, or as though she were wrapped in a cloak, then he will marry another woman alongside his wife, or take a concubine.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 503–506
