Islamic Interpretation
Seeing a woman in a dream carries many layered meanings, reflecting worldly life, provision, relationships, and one’s inner and outer condition. A beautiful-looking woman in a dream represents a year filled with ease, peace, comfort, and prosperity. Her beauty signifies abundance and pleasant circumstances, though such blessings may be temporary. A woman in a dream may also symbolize a coffer, treasury, storehouse, or hiding place, representing wealth, secrets, or possessions kept in reserve. She can further represent the earth, the worldly life, or even a graveyard, for man emerges from it and ultimately returns to it. In this sense, she reflects life’s cycle, attachment to the world, and eventual return to the Hereafter. A woman in a dream may also symbolize confinement or trust, such as a prison or a confidant, as well as objects that contain or nurture, like a tree, a well, an inkwell, or a house. She may represent a partner who shares wealth, comfort, pleasure, and responsibility with her husband. Seeing a beautiful woman entering one’s house in a dream signifies joy, happiness, and a pleasant change of circumstances. It may also indicate money that does not endure, or a transformation from hardship to ease and friendliness. A fat woman in a dream signifies a fertile, prosperous, and fruitful year. Seeing an unknown woman in a dream is considered more favorable than seeing a woman one already knows, as she represents unforeseen good or blessings. A young woman in a dream symbolizes an enemy, while an old woman represents the worldly life itself, with its weariness, experience, and fading allure. If a man sees his wife appearing as a man in a dream, she may represent his grandfather or indicate strength, continuity, and prosperity for the family. If he sees his wife carrying him, it may signify illness or weakness, though it may also indicate wealth and support. Seeing a female creature of an unknown species in a dream signifies loss of money or confusion in one’s affairs. If a man sees his wife marrying another man in a dream, it means that he may stray from the path of Allah, but will later repent and return to righteousness. A woman in a dream may also represent wealth, authority, farmland, pleasure, or worldly influence, for a wife often governs the daily needs and direction of her husband’s life. If a woman sees her crown stolen in a dream, it signifies the death of her husband. If she sees her head shaved, it indicates divorce or the death of her husband.
