Islamic Interpretation
Seeing a filthy body in a dream represents a person burdened by sins or immersed in wrongdoing. A dirty or soiled face, however, may symbolize a rare skill, unusual talent, or uncommon craft. Unclean hair, stained garments, or a generally filthy appearance signify anxiety, grief, and inner distress. Soiled clothing in particular points to sinful actions and moral lapses. If the dirt appears as oil, grease, or sticky residue, it indicates excessive attachment to worldly pleasures, material concerns, or selfish desires. Washing or cleaning one’s clothes in a dream represents sincere repentance, purification of the soul, and the removal of sins and burdens. Cleaning wax or filth from one’s ears signifies hearing pleasant, reassuring, and comforting words, or receiving good counsel that brings peace and clarity to the heart. (Also see Filth)
