Islamic Interpretation
In dreams, clothing conveys different meanings based on its form, color, and kind. Wearing one’s usual outfit in winter is more favorable than doing so in summer. Enveloping oneself in a cloth signals poverty. Garments can represent a man’s character or authority, while a scholar’s or merchant’s attire points to the trade that provides his livelihood and shields him from hardship. Soiled clothing reflects one’s outward condition and inner state. Wearing fine apparel in the heat of summer suggests pretension, pride, or severe emotional strain, for summer heat symbolizes distress. If a woman dons men’s clothing, it indicates piety and success in worldly and spiritual matters. Should a man wear women’s garments, it signifies fear, sorrow, humiliation, and trials, which will eventually be lifted from him.
