Meaning: Seeing a Pillow in a Dream in Islam

Sometimes, I tend to have weird dreams. As per Islam, seeing a dream of a pillow could have different meanings depending on context.

1- Generally speaking, seeing a pillow in a dream represents a servant.

• Meaning: Seeing yourself sleeping in a dream

2- According to Ibn Sirin رحمة الله عليه, the greatest dream interpreter of Islam, seeing a new green pillow in a dream means having an obedient and righteous servant.

3- On the other hand, if the pillow is old, torn, or black, then the servant would be disobedient and non-righteous. It may also mean that the dreamer would face sorrows in his life.

4- According to Ibrahim Karmani رحمة الله عليه, a 16th-century scholar of Islam, seeing that the pillow is stolen in a dream has a meaning that someone is after his wife/woman.

5- Seeing a pillow in someone’s house that does not belong to you could also mean that someone in that house is going to die soon.

6- If you dream of using the Quran as a pillow, you do not respect the Quran.

7- Dreaming of using a dog as a pillow means that the dog is a loyal friend who will be helpful and make the dreamer proud.
