Washing your hair in a dream: what does it mean in Islam?

Washing your hair in a dream points, in the tradition of dream interpretation, to being cleansed of worries and sorrow, the relief that follows a difficulty, and repentance. Since washing is interpreted in the tradition as cleanliness and deliverance, and hair as wealth and lifespan, washing your hair with clean water is glad tidings of both the heart and one's affairs being set right.

The symbols in your dream

• Washing your hair with clean, clear water: Points to being freed from worry and sorrow, being cleansed of sins and peace of heart.
• Washing with cold water: In the tradition interpreted as repentance, healing, a debt being paid and safety from fear.
• Your hair looking shiny and beautiful after washing: Interpreted as your state improving and the wellbeing of your wealth and family.
• Washing and combing your hair: In the tradition points to goodness and keeping your word.
