Seeing lice in a dream: what does it mean in Islam?

Seeing lice in a dream is interpreted in the Islamic tradition of dream interpretation as both worldly wealth and worry or hardship. Where the lice are seen, whether there are many or few, and what you do to them determine the meaning.

The symbols in your dream

• Lice on new clothes: A new duty or growing wealth; in some interpretations, an increase in faith.
• Lice on old clothes: A debt you fear will grow, or pressure from a creditor.
• Killing lice: Freedom from worry, debt and hardship.
• Being bitten by lice: Remarks or gossip from weak people.
• Many lice on the body: In some interpretations, wealth; in others, unease.

Seeing lice in a dream: other variations

• Seeing lice in your hair in a dream: Points to debt, pressure from a creditor and inner unease.
• Seeing lice on the ground in a dream: Points to weak people with little power.
• Being bitten by many lice in a dream: Points to becoming the subject of gossip.

In short

A lice dream is mostly about small but persistent matters that bother you: a debt, gossip or an endless occupation. If you cleaned out or killed the lice, it points to you being freed from these difficulties. The dream reminds you to put your debts in order and not to get caught up in idle talk.

Advice

• If the dream troubled you, seek refuge in Allah and do not tell it to anyone; it will not harm you.
• If you have debts, make a plan to pay them and recite the supplication for relief from debt.
• Do not listen to gossip, and do not speak behind anyone's back.

Allah knows best the truth of dreams.
