Islamic Interpretation
(Adornment, Attire, Costume, Garb, Veil) In a dream, one's apparel varies in meaning depending on its contents, colours, or type, etcetera. Wearing one's garb in the winter in a dream is better than wearing it in the summer. Wrapping oneself with a cloth in a dream means becoming poor. An attire in a dream represents a man and a leader. An attire for a scholar, or a merchant, or a leader in a dream represents his trade through which one earns his livelihood, and which protects him from adversities. If one's apparel is dirty in a dream, then it reflects his life and appearance. If one wears a beautiful garb in the summertime in a dream, it means that he is ostentatious, arrogant, and vainglorious. It also could mean that he is under great pressure and suffering from painful distress, for the heat of a summer in a dream signifies distress. If a woman sees herself wearing a man's apparel in a dream, it means piety and success in her material and spiritual life. If a man sees himself wearing a woman's apparel in a dream, it means that he will be afflicted with fear, depression, subjugation, humiliation, trials, and then all of it will be lifted away from him.
