I saw my mother in my dream. What does it mean?

Seeing your mother in a dream is considered one of the most blessed dreams in the Islamic tradition of dream interpretation. In dream interpretation the mother is taken to be the person closest to you, and seeing her mostly points to your wishes being good, to abundance and to compassion.

The symbols in your dream

  • Your mother smiling: A sign that you will reach your wishes and your affairs will open in goodness.
  • Hugging your mother: Peace of heart, finding support and receiving the prayers of an elder of the family.
  • Seeing your deceased mother: Longing and a need for prayer; if she looks at peace, a sign of her good state.
  • Your deceased mother coming back to life: Relief close at hand after hardship.
  • Arguing with your mother: A hurt within the family that needs to be resolved.
  • Nursing at your mother's breast: Interpreted as honour and a high position.

Seeing your mother in a dream: other variations

  • Seeing your mother happy in a dream: Points to your own happiness.
  • Kissing your mother in a dream: Points to wishes fulfilled and good coming through your mother.
  • Dreaming your mother gives birth to you: For someone in need, it points to a wider living.
  • Seeing your mother die in a dream: Points to a worry and life's order being disturbed; make your mother happy.
  • Embracing your late mother in a dream: Points to fulfilling the wish of an elder in the family.

In short

A mother dream is mostly about safety, compassion and blessing. If your mother was happy in the dream, it is glad tidings that your prayers and wishes will be accepted. If there was hurt or sadness in the dream, it reminds you to call her and lift her spirits, or, if she has passed away, to pray for her.

Advice

  • If your mother is alive, call her, visit her and receive her prayers.
  • If she has passed away, recite Al-Fatiha for her and give sadaqah on her behalf.
  • If the dream was good, thank Allah; if it saddened you, seek refuge in Allah and do not tell it to anyone; it will not harm you.

Allah knows best the truth of dreams.
