Islamic Interpretation
In a dream, legs symbolize longevity, old age, or one's means of livelihood. Seeing legs turned into iron signifies a prolonged life, while legs becoming glass indicates imminent death. Crossed legs suggest approaching the end of life, facing a severe trial, or being untruthful. Seeing the thighs of a known woman means marrying her or one of her friends. Hairy legs represent debts or dying in prison. A twisted leg implies committing adultery. Legs also denote wealth or sustenance, so iron legs indicate enduring prosperity, whereas wooden legs mean growing weaker and inability to provide for oneself. Legs turning into glass or pottery foretell a short remaining life and distribution of one's estate to heirs. A shorter leg points to financial loss. Walking on one foot signifies losing half one's wealth, and amputation of both legs means losing everything. Fat legs reflect strong financial position, acquiring a fine vehicle, or receiving a delightful gift. For a woman, hairy legs signify disgrace, deceiving her husband, exposure of her private life, or gaining spiritual direction after negligence. A leg represents difficulties in general. Banded or tied legs indicate fear, poverty, or hardships. Exposing legs means neglecting prayers or suffering humiliation. Legs further symbolize writing, counsel, guidance, reading books, wisdom, status, enjoyment, dangers, errors in advice, or misinterpretation of religious issues. (Also see Foot, Thigh)
