Islamic Interpretation
A mask or veil in a dream symbolizes concealment, hidden intentions, and behavior carried out away from public sight, reflecting matters that are kept secret or disguised from others. If a man sees himself wearing a mask, it signifies the risk of moral deviation, particularly the possibility of engaging in an illicit relationship with someone under his authority, such as a servant or housekeeper, indicating abuse of trust and secrecy in wrongdoing. At the same time, wearing a mask can carry a contrasting meaning, representing inner restraint, modesty, and the cultivation of gratitude and contentment, showing an effort to shield oneself from excess, control desires, or accept one’s condition with patience and thankfulness, depending on the overall context and feeling of the dream.
