In a dream it indicates neediness, orphanhood, ruin, and a change of temperament.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, p. 127

If a woman sees that she is suckling a person, then that means the world is closed off upon them both, or their imprisonment, because the nursing woman is like one imprisoned until the infant releases the breast; and that is because her breast is in the infant's mouth and she cannot rise. The same applies to whoever sucks the milk, whoever he may be, whether an infant, a man, or a woman.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, p. 127

(And whoever sees) that he is suckling a child after weaning, then he will be imprisoned, or fall ill, or a door will be shut upon him.

But if it is a woman and she is pregnant, she will come through her pregnancy safely.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, p. 127

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

The Commander of the Faithful Harun al-Rashid, may Allah be pleased with him and with his forefathers, saw as though he were in the Sacred Precinct suckling from the teats of a gazelle. He asked al-Kirmani face to face about its interpretation, and he said: O Commander of the Faithful, suckling after weaning is confinement in prison, and one such as you is not imprisoned; rather you are held captive by love of a slave girl who has been forbidden to you. And so it was.
