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

In a dream it is the man's wife, his child, his death and his life, his wealth, his standing, his slave-girl, his mount, and his secret.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, p. 84

So if his shop collapses in the dream, he will divorce his wife, or be separated from his child, or die if he is ill, or lose his wealth, or sell his slave-girl, or she will die, or his mount will perish, or his secret will be exposed.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, p. 84

(And if one sees) his shop new and handsome or sweet-smelling: if he is unmarried he will marry a righteous woman, or he will be granted a child; and if he is ill he will be cured of his illness and his life will be long; and perhaps his rank will rise and his standing will broaden, or he will buy a beautiful slave-girl or a fine mount, or his secret will be kept for him.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, p. 84

And perhaps the shop indicates the father and the mother, because they were the cause of his existence, his nourishment, and his benefit.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, p. 84

And perhaps it indicates his knowledge, his fortune, and his reputation; so whatever befalls his shop of increase or decrease, newness or demolition, or change of place, returns upon the one whom the shop indicates.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, p. 84

(And whoever sees) that he sat in a shop, then he will gain some good.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, p. 84

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

So whoever sees that he sat in someone else's shop without that person's consent, then he inclines toward something forbidden on account of people's women.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 115

Ja'far said: the vision of a shop is interpreted in six ways: a woman, a pleasant living, might, high standing, praiseworthy affairs, elevation, and triumph.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 115

Al-Kirmani said: whoever sees that he sat in a shop, then he will gain some good.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 115

And whoever sees that his shop was encroached upon, or that some disgraceful incident occurred in it, then it is the befalling of a calamity, or the frustration of some affair, and stagnation of livelihood.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 115

And whoever sees that he sat in a shop, and he is fit for authority, then he will assume an office; and the higher the shop is, the more praiseworthy it is. As for the shop in which the implements of the dead are placed, it is a place from which elevation is gained. And as for the water-seller's shop, it is a place from which good and provision come to the elite and the common alike.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 115

And whoever sees that his shop was ruined or plundered, then it is the occurrence of something detestable in whatever that is ascribed to, and by it he incurs the utmost loss.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 115

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

(The shop) indicates every place from which a person derives benefit in his worldly life and his hereafter, such as his garden, his field, his date palm, his tree, his wife, his father, his mother, or his book — from the common people's saying about one who relies upon a place for benefit: he has made it his shop.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 527–530

So whoever sees his shop demolished: if his father is ill, he will die, because his livelihood comes from him; and if his mother is ill, she will perish, because she used to raise him with her milk and strengthen him with her sustenance; and if his wife is pregnant or sick, she will die, because she is his worldly life, his pleasure and his enjoyment, and what is in her belly is his water and his child, which in interpretation is his wealth. And if none of that is the case, his livelihood will become difficult for him and the places upon which his subsistence depends will be brought to a standstill.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 527–530

And whoever sees that he is breaking the door of his shop, then he will move away from it.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 527–530

And if he sees the doors of the shops closed, stagnation will befall them in their goods and a blockage in their trade.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 527–530

And if he sees their doors blocked up, they will die and their memory will vanish.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 527–530

And if he sees them opened, the doors of trade will be opened for them.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 527–530

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

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, p. 119

(And whoever sees) that he is sitting on a bench, then he will attain authority, might, honour, rank, and blessing, if he is worthy of that.
