Islamic Interpretation
In a dream, musk signifies discreet charity, pregnancy, a profitable trade, valuable property, farmland, fruit-bearing trees, olive groves, or advanced knowledge. When linked to a deceased person, seeing musk may indicate that the person is in paradise. Burning musk as incense in a dream denotes innovation, loss of wealth and esteem, misplacing matters, or serving a powerful individual for payment. Musk may also represent one’s beloved, a servant, a son, or a beautiful woman. If a thief sees himself carrying musk, it means he will abandon theft, for a pleasant fragrance reveals its bearer and exposes what is concealed. Musk also symbolizes marriage, gold, comfort, glad tidings, good news, and innocence. The same meaning applies to carnation, clove, nutmeg, and other dark seeds, all of which indicate victory and joy. Grinding them in a dream signifies receiving praise, while offering them whole means showing kindness to someone ungrateful. (Also see Amber, Anoint, Galia moschata)
