Islamic Interpretation
(Gold leaf) In a dream, a gilder represents a decorator, someone who makes things attractive and pleasant, or someone who coats things with sugar. In general, a gilder in a dream represents someone truthful in his words and actions. If a gilder overlays gold leaf over the cover of a book in a dream, it means that he is lying, falsifying things, innovating, and that he is a heedless person who loses his money in loathsome entertainments, corruption, or it could mean that he works for a religious institution.
