Islamic Interpretation
When a woman dreams that she is spinning on a wheel and hastening to complete her work, it signifies the imminent return of a traveller or the arrival of a long-awaited guest. If she spins slowly and without urgency in the dream, it indicates that she or her husband will set out on a journey. Should the thread snap inside the bobbin, it points to the cancellation of planned travel. Spinning cotton threads in a dream denotes separation from her husband, during which she will stop demanding her bridal dower, then eventually reunite with him. If she spins linen, it suggests that she will associate with righteous people to gain wisdom and knowledge. When a man dreams of spinning cotton or linen, it means humiliation or involvement in work he cannot perform well. If the spun thread becomes thin, it shows exhausting effort without proper results. If it becomes overly thick, it indicates a successful business journey. Seeing a woman spinning cotton in her own house signifies her betrayal of her husband. Spinning wool, fur, or hair points to a profitable business trip. Unraveling a spun thread means withdrawing allegiance, breaking a promise, or denying a commitment.
