I dreamed that I was making wudu (ablution). What does it mean?

The symbols in your dream
Making wudu with clean water: Being cleansed of sins, relief of heart and a prayer that will be accepted.
Completing the wudu: A matter ending in goodness, being safe from fear.
Making wudu and standing for prayer: Reaching your wish, a debt being paid.
Leaving the wudu unfinished: An unfinished task or a matter that calls for patience.
Not finding water: A wish being delayed; a situation that calls for prayer and patience.

In short
