Vomiting

Quick Answer

Repentance, returning unlawful wealth, or revealing a secret.

Classical Interpretation (Ibn Sirin)

Vomiting in a dream usually symbolizes repentance (Tawbah). If one vomits easily and feels relieved, it means they will sincerely repent from a sin and return unlawful wealth to its rightful owners. If vomiting is difficult or foul-smelling, it signifies forced repayment of debt, severe illness, or a reluctant repentance.

Hadith Context
"The Prophet (PBUH) said: 'The one who takes back his gift is like a dog that vomits and then eats its vomit.' (Sahih Bukhari) - Showing that returning what was expelled is heavily disliked."

Note: According to the Sunnah, a good dream is from Allah and should only be shared with those you love. A bad dream is from Shaytan; seek refuge in Allah from it, spit drily to your left three times, and do not mention it to anyone. Dreams are subjective and should not be used to make definitive religious rulings.
