If a person dreams of himself as holding or possessing water contained in a dish or bowl and he is conscious of himself as being in a state of tuhr (ie. Ceremonial purity) or on a journey in an unknown and strange place, then such a bowl of water symbolizes his life span.
If he dreams of drinking all the water it means his life span is completed; he should now prepare for the hereafter.
If he drinks the water partially it means he still has a number of years to live.
The same interpretation is given if, instead of water, the contents of the bowl or dish is thareed*.
