Dream interpretation of hazrat ibn sirin, may allah have mercy on him, has said that in a dream, a platform represents one's parents. if someone sees that the platform of their house is clean, new, and elevated, it is an indication of longevity and the well-being of the parents. however, if they see that the platform has fallen and is in disrepair, it suggests that their parents will perish. hazrat jaber al-maghrebi, may allah have mercy on him, has stated that if one sees a flaw on the right side of the platform, it signifies that their father will fall ill. if a crack appears on the left side, it indicates that their mother will become ill. if they have no parents, it points to sadness and sorrow.
