Islamic Interpretation
(Buttonhole, Fastener, Man) A button in a dream represents protection, guarding one's honour, a just act, content, money, or profits, particularly if the button is made of silver or gold. A button and a buttonhole in a dream also represent a man and a woman. If an unwed person sees himself buttoning a shirt in a dream, it means that he will get married, or that he will play an important role in a business venture, or bring peace between two partners, or that he will revive an old or a forsaken project. Tying one's buttons in a dream means opening a door, or relief coming during difficult financial circumstances. Wearing a button in a dream means experiencing tight circumstances, or reuniting with a travel-interrupted person, or the marriage of an unmarried person. (Also see Buttonhole)
