I dreamed that I was wearing gold. What does it mean?

Wearing gold in a dream is interpreted differently in the Islamic tradition of dream interpretation depending on who sees the dream and the form of the gold worn. For women, wearing gold is considered glad tidings of joy, honour, provision, a spouse and children; for men, wearing gold has more often been seen as a heavy responsibility or a warning against an unsuitable alliance.

The symbols in your dream

  • A woman wearing gold jewelry: Interpreted as joy, being valued, abundance and, for a single woman, a blessed marriage.
  • Wearing a gold bracelet: Points to an inheritance coming into your hands, a substantial benefit or loyal support.
  • A man wearing gold: Disliked in the classical tradition; interpreted as marrying into a family that is not a good match or taking on a tiring burden.
  • Pure, shining gold: Points to sincerity of intention, good deeds and lasting worth.
  • Wearing bent or broken gold: May point to falling short of a desired success or a plan that remains incomplete.

In short
