Islamic Interpretation
Seeing one’s face turn pale in a dream points to illness. If the face appears vividly yellow and radiant, it signifies that the dreamer will be counted among those who are honored and blessed in the Hereafter. Paleness of the face may also symbolize disgrace, envy, or hypocrisy. At times, it can indicate devotion, performing night prayers, keeping vigil, being deeply in love, piety, reflection, or fear of a matter. When the face is white while the body is yellow, it shows that the outward appearance is better than what is concealed within. If the face is yellow and pale while the body is white, it means the inner state of the heart is better than what people judge from outward looks. If both face and body appear pale and wasted, it signifies sickness. Paleness of the face alone also denotes grief or sorrow. Wearing yellow clothing in a dream represents illness, unless the garment is of silk. Wearing a yellowish silk brocade cloak indicates religious pretension or engaging in wrongful acts under the guise of faith. (Also see Yellow)
