Ibn Sirin

Hands: Islamic interpretation

Hands

Dream interpretation

In a dream, the fingers of the right hand represent the daily five time prayers. The thumb represents the pre-dawn prayer, the index represents the midday prayer, the middle finger represents the mid-afternoon prayer, the ring finger represents the sunset prayer, and the little finger represents the evening prayer. As for the fingers of the left hand in a dream, they are interpreted to represent one's nephews. To cross or intertwine one's fingers in a dream means difficulties and poverty. (Also see Body'; Fingers; Thimble)

From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions, entry "Hand" (page 201), resolved via the equivalent "Five fingers" entry.

Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
