Islamic Interpretation
(Dwellings, House, State) In a dream, the human body symbolizes a person's faith, and its physical strength corresponds to the strength of his belief in God Almighty. If one sees himself clad in the skin of a snake, it signifies that he will overcome an adversary or evade others. Should he perceive himself as a ram, it foretells the birth of a son through whose accomplishments he will derive his sustenance. If his body appears transformed into iron or clay, it points to his death. A body enlarged in a dream indicates his prosperity will grow in proportion. A corpulent body denotes abundance and knowledge, whereas a gaunt body signifies want and ignorance. The body in a vision is that which encloses and holds the person; it is akin to one's spouse, a garment, a home, a beloved, a child, a protector, or a master. The state of health and vigor of the body in the dream may reflect upon any of these elements. (Also see Foot, Leg, Skin, Teeth, Tooth, Thigh)
