Clothes
A man told Ibn Siren, “I dreamed that I bought an ornamented cloth of the best silk, which was folded up. When I unfolded and hung it, I found it rotten in the middle.”
“Did you buy an Andalusian slave?” asked Ibn Siren.
“Yes,” said the man.
“Did you have sex with her?”
“No,” said the man, “for I have not yet checked her.”
“Don’t bother to do so, because her genitals are stinking.”
And so it was when the man had his new slave checked by his women.
• New white clothes: A new chance.
Dream interpreter: Various Islamic Scholars
Leprosy
Leprosy symbolizes: (1) A cloth without ornament. (2) Money.
Dreaming of being piebald (black and white) means one will contract leprosy.
It is always better to dream of oneself having such dreadful diseases than of others. The logic behind this is that, seen on others, leprosy, scabies, and the like give the dreamer an acute and unpleasant sense of repulsion.
