Interpretation 1 — Ibn Seerin
(Excessive admiration or adulation of someone in a dream.) Ingratiating oneselfto someone for worldly profits, or to gain access to knowledge, or to find ajob to help him better apply his religious obligations in a dream means honor, correcting one’s religious practices or attaining one’s spiritual goals. It also means evil consequences if one does not usually strive after such needs, or if he presents his needs too favorably, or ifhe does so in a dream soliciting favors from a woman he knows. It also means escaping from the dangers of his enemy.
