According to Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi: Seeing olive oil signifies the light of the heart, a newborn child, or the replacement of old belongings. Seeing clear olive oil in a dream signifies that good is being intended for the dreamer by people who bear good intentions toward him; whereas seeing cloudy olive oil in a dream signifies that gossip is being spread about him and that his affairs are envied.

According to another narration: Olive oil seen in a dream is sustenance and lawful wealth, and for the one who anoints himself with it, it is healing.

Seeing pure and beautiful olive oil as ugly in a dream signifies breaking one’s word; whereas seeing what is bad as beautiful or pleasant signifies good treatment and sound belief.

It can be read as a sign of easing, receiving support, gaining morale, or a fruitful development.

Underestimating opportunities, succumbing to comfort, or being late may reduce the positive effect.

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.
