Seeing oneself wail and cry over a dead person signifies preaching and admonition.
Seeing women hired to mourn over the dead signifies a change of condition, the disorder and ruin of the house, and, according to a hadith, committing ugly deeds, because shouting and wailing over the dead is not approved in religion. Wailing loudly in a dream signifies stirring up strife by the person who is crying. At times, such weeping signifies turning from guidance to misguidance or turning away from religion. It is said that hearing wailing and loud crying in a dream is likened to the sounds of dogs; the voice of a mourning woman is likened to the sound of a bellows, while the sounds of a tambourine, bell, and similar things also signify wailing and crying aloud.
