Seeing a sieve in your dream signifies your ability to discern between truth and falsehood in your life. It reflects your knowledge, respect, and dignity. You will be capable of making the right decisions in the situations you face. The sieve helps bring an analytical perspective to your thoughts, aiding you in selecting accurate information and valuable experiences.
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions â entry "Sift" (page 390) â resolved via the equivalent "Sieve" entry.
In a dream, a sieve represents knowledge, discerning, honor, rank and discriminating between truth and false. A sieve in a dream is like a detector of true banknotes from counterfeit, a person who chooses his words, a choosy person of the type of work he does, or a discriminating buyer, a pious person, or it could represent a comb. If a sieve is given as a collateral, or as a promissory note in a dream, it means
390 IBN SEERIN'S that the depositor will flunk his promise, for a sieve does not retain water. (Also see Bolter; Strainer)
Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
