Islamic Interpretation
(A piece of fabric worn by some women as part of their headdress, To conceal one's face, Attire, Cap, Garb, Mantle, Mantilla, Veil) In a dream, a khimar represents a husband, protection, or an ornament. The extent of its size shows the man's prosperity. Its finesse connotes clarity, and the colour white represents honour and dignity. If a woman sees herself wearing a mantilla in a dream, it means maliciousness, a bad omen, or rancour and falsehood of female companions that might cause difficulties, or separate a husband and a wife. If the khimar is made of black torn fabric in the dream, it means poverty of one's husband, or his being natural, or unsophisticated. Damage to one's veil in a dream means difficulties affecting one's marriage, loss of business, or a calamity caused by a guardian, a father, or a brother. If a man sees himself wearing a mask in a dream, it means that he will commit adultery with his servant. If a woman sees herself removing her veil in public in a dream, it means that she will be tried with a calamity that will take away her sense of shame. If she loses her khimar in the dream, it means that she may lose her husband. If she finds it again in the dream, it means that her husband will return to her. In a dream, a khimar also represents one's religion. (Also see Veil, Yashmak)
