Extracting Pearls from the Sea

Scholars have interpreted that extracting a pearl from the sea may signify the dreamer benefiting from a ruler with wealth, a maiden, or knowledge. The rising of sea water or other waters beyond their limits, entering homes and threatening their occupants with drowning, might indicate a great tribulation, as overwhelming water symbolizes worry and turmoil. It has been said that drowning indicates committing a major sin and displaying innovation, and death by drowning is interpreted as death upon disbelief, while a disbeliever drowning might indicate their conversion to faith.
