Islamic Interpretation
(Scent, Fragrance, Stigma) In a dream, dried saffron that leaves no mark on the skin or garment signifies praising, honoring, or speaking well of another. If its hue does stain the skin or clothing, it portends sickness. Pulverizing the dried purple saffron blossoms for use as a powder or perfume ingredient denotes a grave malady; many will supplicate for the afflicted person's recovery without success. Some interpretations hold that saffron signifies advantage, unless it contacts and discolors one's skin. Grinding saffron in a vision can mean creating something that brings wonder and pride, yet this endeavor will be followed by serious illness. It may also represent sickness, revealing hidden matters, disclosing private news, actions that yield joy, pursuit of learning, or gaining wisdom. If a woman dreams she is grinding saffron, it suggests she has inclination toward her own gender.
