Rocks

Arabian, Islam M. Ibn Siren

(Stone) Mountain rocks in a dream represent strong believers who hold fast to their religious duties.

In this case, it means that one’s advice will have effect and his opinion will be respected.

If one sees women throwing stones at him using a slingshot in a dream, it means sorcery and a bad spell.

If one does not put a new garment after taking his ritual ablution in the dream, it means that he will be able to lighten his burdens, or recover his good health. Walking into a pond, or descending a well, or stepping into a bathtub to take a bath in a dream means marriage. Washing oneself with soap during such an ablution means dispensing of one’s debts, or dispelling one’s stress. Washing one’s garment after taking a Ghusul in a dream means correcting one’s conduct, pursuing the correct religious life, paying one’s debts, or washing away one’s filth.
