Once a man saw in his dream, that a lion was chasing him. The man
ran to a tree, climbed on to it and sat on a branch. He looked down
and saw that the lion was still there waiting for him. The man then
looked to his side where the branch he was sitting on was attached
to the tree and saw that two rats were circling around and eating
the branch.
One rat was black and the other one was white. The branch would fall
on the ground very soon. The man then looked below again with fear
and discovered that a big black snake had come and settled directly
under him. The snake opened its mouth right under the man so that he
will fall into it. The man then looked up to see if there was
anything that he could hold on to. He saw another branch with a
honeycomb. Drops of honey were falling from it.
The man wanted to taste one of the drops. So, he put his tongue out
and tasted one of the fallen drops of honey. The honey was amazing
in taste. So, he wanted to taste another drop.! As he did, he got
lost into the sweetness of the honey.
Meanwhile, he forgot about the two rats eating his branch away, the
lion on the ground and the snake that is sitting right under him.
After a while, he woke up from his sleep.
To get the meaning behind this dream, the man went to a pious
scholar of Islam. The scholar said
"The lion you saw is your death. It always chases you and goes
wherever you go. The two rats, one black and one white, are the
night and the day. Black one is the night and white one is the day.
They circle around, coming one after another, to eat your time as
they take you closer to death. The big black snake with a dark mouth
is your grave. It's there, just waiting for you to fall into it. The
honeycomb is this world and the sweet honey is the luxuries of this
world.
We like to taste a drop of the luxuries of this world but its very
sweet. Then we taste another drop and yet another. Meanwhile, we get
lost into it and we forget about our time, we forget about our
deaths and we forget about our graves.
