Clay Dream Meaning
Dream interpretation
If you see clay in your dream, it often symbolizes illness or stigma. However, if you are working with clay or creating something from it, this dream may indicate benefits for you. Seeing clay can also draw your attention to your spiritual awareness and creativity. Additionally, it may signal the unveiling of new aspects of your life.
Ibn Sirin
Clay — Islamic interpretation
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Clay" (page 85).
In a dream, clay means sickness, disgrace or ignominy, except for one who works with clay or builds structures with it, then in his case, seeing clay in his dream means benefits, religious awareness and developing faith and certitude. Dry clay in a dream represents a cut in one's earnings or living on a budget. If one sees himself plastering the walls of his house with wet clay in a dream, it means that he is a righteous person. If one sees himself eating clay in a dream, it means that he swindles money. Construction clay in a dream means benefits and money. Seeing clay in a dream also could mean death. Ifone sees himselfwaking in mud or wet clay, and ifhe works with it in a dream, it means falling sick or suffering from disgrace. Dry clay in a dream means money, while wet clay means righteousness. Eating baked clay in a dream means backbiting others, untruth or slander. If a sick person sees clay in his dream, it means his death. (Also see Bricks)
Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
