Islamic Interpretation
A mat made of plaited fabric or woven straw in a dream symbolizes humility, service, and matters connected to obedience, duty, or judgment, representing either a servant who attends to one’s needs or the court of justice where matters are laid bare and decisions are made. It reflects simplicity, submission, and the place where actions are weighed and consequences unfold. Sitting on a mat indicates involvement in an affair that may appear modest or harmless at first but will later bring remorse, signifying an action taken in weakness or haste that leads to regret, accountability, or moral reflection once its outcome becomes clear.
