Dreaming of an old man
Ibn Sirin explained that seeing an old man in a dream reflects the condition of his grandfather. If the old man appears weak, this indicates the weakness of his grandfather, and vice versa. Also, the transformation of a young man into an old man in a dream symbolizes the acquisition of knowledge and literature. If a young man sees himself as an old man, this means that he will gain dignity and respect. While if a person sees an old man turning into a young man, this indicates an expansion in livelihood and an increase in strength.
Al-Nabulsi mentioned that whoever sees an unknown sheikh in his dream and hates him, this means that he will hear advice from a friend and will not accept it. On the other hand, if the person loves the unknown sheikh, this expresses accepting the advice and agreeing with the friend in matters of religion and the world. The meeting of sheikhs in a dream indicates mixing with friends.
Seeing yourself following a sheikh in a dream indicates being accompanied by goodness and blessings, while following a village sheikh symbolizes a friend with a strong personality.

Seeing a Jewish sheikh indicates the presence of an enemy lurking for the dreamer, while seeing a Christian sheikh represents an enemy who does not pose a threat, and a hypocritical sheikh in a dream symbolizes a hostile enemy from a long time ago.

A righteous sheikh is a symbol of pride and dignity, while a hypocritical sheikh is a sign of religious deviation and corruption.
Seeing a smiling sheikh reflects the dreamer’s integrity and adherence to his religion.

When seeing an angry religious sheikh, this may indicate that there is a religious defect in the dreamer’s life. If the dreamer hears the religious sheikh calling him, this vision is considered a call for guidance and returning to the right path.
