Louse

Seeing a louse in a dream contains different meanings depending on where the louse is seen. If a louse is seen upon a clean garment in a dream, it is interpreted as attaching importance to wealth and worldly possessions. If a person sees a louse upon a garment he has newly put on, he is someone who greatly esteems the life of this world and performs no worship for the sake of the Hereafter.

If a louse is seen upon a worn-out garment in a dream, this shows that the dreamer is burdened with debt and is in distress because of this debt.

Seeing a louse in one’s hair in a dream is interpreted as meaning that the person’s affairs will increase, that he will be very successful in commerce, and that he will inherit from an unexpected place. According to another interpreter, a louse seen in the hair signifies that the person will fall into financial distress on account of a debt, and that although he works day and night so that this debt may be paid, the debt will never come to an end. (Another meaning of a louse seen in the hair in a dream is to show patience. As a result of the patience shown by the dreamer, he will seize a great opportunity and his fortune will favor him.

Seeing a louse on one’s head in a dream corresponds to an enemy against whom one has harbored enmity from of old. This enemy toward whom the dreamer bears rancor will be the victorious party in the battle he enters into with him. Since engaging in eternal rivalry with the enemy will bring the person no benefit, he will fall behind in his work and livelihood.

Separating the louse from one’s head piece by piece in a dream shows that someone is telling you lies embellished with adornment. These lies may, in the end, cause you to break the hearts of others.

Seeing a louse (nit, louse egg, and the like) in a dream shows that there are opportunistic people around you and that they are pursuing their own interests. If these lice and louse eggs seen in a dream are cast alive upon the ground, it means that the person is behaving contrary to our religion and the Sunnahs of our Prophet, and is even continuing his life in denial.

If there are very many lice in a dream, the person is inwardly in sorrow and grief. He keeps his troubles within himself, and because he shares them with no one, he becomes ill.

Seeing oneself killing a louse in a dream is interpreted as meaning that, throughout the remainder of the dreamer’s life, he will in no way see grief, that his anxieties will suddenly come to an end, that he will find a solution to everything troubling his mind, and that he himself will always be the one who profits. If you killed a louse in a dream, it shows that you once greatly grieved a friend in your time, and that your friend has never forgotten it.

Seeing that there is a louse upon one’s new garment in a dream indicates that everything is being done unquestioningly for the sake of worldly possessions. The dreamer esteems money, wealth, and fame more than his family, and pays no heed to his family. Because of the person’s greed, his family will turn away from him and leave him alone.

Seeing oneself eating lice in a dream shows that the dreamer speaks much behind someone’s back and spreads these words to everyone. Eating lice in a dream is hardly interpreted as auspicious. The louse is an animal that disturbs people, lowers their quality of life, and takes a long time to cleanse away.

Lice being eaten in a dream is interpreted as talking excessively, slandering, lying, cursing, and backbiting.

Becoming infested with lice in a dream shows that the person’s burden will be great, that he must work harder for the new member who will come to his family, and that he will become very weary; yet in the end, just as he will have expenses, his income too will increase as a result of his effort and exertion. His increased income shows that the person will have to contend with ill-intentioned people, and that the party who will suffer harm from this affair will be the opposing side. (Removing lice from one’s hair in a dream is interpreted as news of a death. You may soon hear news of the death of someone very close to you or from your family. This news will deeply shake you, but your relatives will say that you ought to rejoice on behalf of the person whose death you have heard of, because he suffered much distress and anguish on account of his illness.

According to another interpretation: The interpretation of removing lice from the hair in a dream represents happiness and glad tidings awaited for a long time.

It provides early awareness; the person sees risks before they grow and can choose a more solid path.

Neglect, haste, untrustworthy people or uncontrolled behavior can increase the difficulty.

In the interpretation, the themes of success and reputation, work and responsibility, health and body, spiritual signs, the emotional tone in the dream, and how the symbol concludes in the dream should be evaluated together.
