The mirage of the wilderness is in a dream a false order that does not take place . And whoever sees a mirage and has greed for something that he hopes for, it is forbidden to do that and not attain it . A mirage in a dream is hypocrisy and disbelief in religion, or a tendency to the world and its adornment . Perhaps seeing a mirage signified wish and hope for what a person does not realize . And if the seer was a witness, he was a false witness, or a scientist of heresy, and perhaps the mirage was news that had no truth and may indicate the appearance of a banner on the side where the mirage was seen .
