Reading a Verse of Punishment
Some interpreters believe that if someone dreams of reading a verse of punishment, and then finds themselves unable to read a verse of mercy upon reaching it, this may indicate a continuation of hardship and distress in their life. This implies the dreamer remaining in a state of difficulty and anguish.
Per Ibn Sirin's Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam
