For a woman to dream of seeing any one lame, foretells that her pleasures and hopes will be unfruitful and disappointing. * See Cripple.
Islam
Dreams of lameness or being handicapped can have various interpretations, both positive and negative:
- Unable to Stand on One’s Feet:
- (1) The dreamer’s lack of strength may symbolize an inability to move forward with personal demands or aspirations.
- (2) Disappointment from relatives may be anticipated, particularly from those symbolized by the handicapped part of the body.
- A Lame Person:
- The dream suggests that the dreamer may receive something incomplete, indicating that expectations might not be fully met.
- A Lame Old Man:
- The dreamer’s efforts may be deemed inadequate, or a friend may not live up to the dreamer’s expectations. According to some ancient Arab dream interpreters, a lame person may struggle to master a craft and may face financial challenges.
- Being Lame – Controversial Interpretations:
- For Ibn Siren, being lame signifies an inclination towards becoming more religious and delving into the study of religious subjects. The dreamer is seen as trustworthy when making oaths.
- Other dream interpreters propose that being lame could indicate the dreamer’s inclination towards committing adultery.
In summary, dreams of lameness or being handicapped may carry diverse meanings, including challenges in personal strength, potential disappointments from specific individuals, or the reception of incomplete outcomes. The interpretations also touch on spiritual growth, trustworthiness, and, in some interpretations, moral struggles.
