Islamic Interpretation
Experiencing fever in a dream signifies settling outstanding obligations, as physical fever serves to expiate transgressions. This vision may also indicate impending danger or a looming threat. Observing a known person afflicted by fever suggests becoming entangled in affairs that could compromise one's religious devotion. Fever may further symbolize wearing the garments of a respected figure. It acts as a herald from the angel of death, offering warning—urging repentance and correction of one's spiritual state before the final encounter. Shivering from fever reflects disregard and disrespect toward religious observances. Dreaming of one's own death, washing, and shrouding for burial points to persistent sinfulness and heedlessness of consequences—a warning typically granted only to the defiant transgressor who receives such mercy. Fever could also represent entering a heated bath or steam room and enduring discomfort, fatigue, and thirst therein. (Also see Bathhouse)
