Introduction: The Language of Symbols in the World of Dreams Dreams speak a unique language, a language that relies not on direct words as much as on symbols and signs that carry deep implications touching the dreamer's reality and future. Since the dawn of history, humanity has sought to decipher this language, leading to the emergence of prodigious scholars who dedicated their lives to interpreting visions and understanding their messages, foremost among them Imam Muhammad ibn Sirin, who laid solid foundations for this science. Seeing a modern symbol, such as buying cosmetics from global brands, requires us to delve into the origins of this science and draw analogies with the authentic symbols discussed by early scholars to deduce the meaning and uncover the hidden message behind this dream scenario. General Interpretation of Seeing the Purchase of Cosmetics (Makeup) in a Dream The symbol of "cosmetics" or "adornment" in a dream is two-faced, like a mirror reflecting the inner and outer self of the dreamer. The act of "buying" adds the dimension of desire, pursuit, and demand, while the attribute of "global brands" is measured against anything precious, unusual, of high status, or coming from afar. By combining these elements, a multi-dimensional general interpretation emerges. Interpretation by Ibn Sirin Ibn Sirin believes that adornment in a dream indicates the dreamer's state with their Creator and with people. For a righteous man, buying adornment signifies an increase in his prestige, knowledge, and piety. For a woman, it denotes rectitude in her religion and good marital conduct. However, if the dreamer is not righteous, adornment here may be interpreted as hypocrisy and deceit, showing the opposite of what is concealed. Applying this to "global brands" makes this interpretation even clearer; it is either a pursuit of a high position in goodness, or an immersion in great and intricate deception that misleads people, as something valuable indicates the magnitude of its effect, whether good or evil. Interpretation by Al-Nabulsi Al-Nabulsi elaborates on adornment, linking it to the dreamer's circumstances. A woman's adornment is her husband, and a man's adornment is his trade or his standing. Buying cosmetics is an endeavor to improve this aspect of one's life. If the "global brands" are expensive and beautiful, it indicates a successful project, or marriage to a woman of lineage, beauty, and status, or a high position. Al-Nabulsi might also warn that this luxurious adornment could signify arrogance and boasting about fleeting worldly matters, as it is an external adornment concealing emptiness or deficiency. Interpretation by Ibn Shaheen Ibn Shaheen agrees with his predecessors that adornment can be a cover and beauty, or deceit and transience. He adds that buying it may indicate an effort to conceal a flaw or hide poverty or sorrow. If the items are from "global brands," it suggests that the dreamer is trying to conceal a significant matter or obtain vast provision that will completely change their situation. Buying expensive adornment may also be interpreted as sorrows proportional to its price and beauty; the more effort expended in concealing the truth, the greater the burden on the wearer. Positive Implications of Seeing the Purchase of Global Brand Makeup This vision carries good tidings and joy if the dreamer is righteous and their intentions are pure, and these positives manifest in various aspects of life. Ibn Sirin: Rectitude of State and Elevated Status Ibn Sirin interprets the purchase of good and precious adornment for a righteous dreamer as a praiseworthy pursuit of perfection, not merely in appearance, but in essence. The vision may indicate gaining beneficial knowledge, attaining a high position, or acquiring a good reputation that precedes them among people. The "global brand" here symbolizes renown for goodness and a good name that extends beyond their immediate environment, as if their reputation reaches distant lands. It is the adornment of the inner self that overflows to the outer self with acceptance and prestige. Al-Nabulsi: Increase in Provision and Blessing Al-Nabulsi believes that buying valuable items for adornment is a direct indication of an increase in wealth and provision. For a merchant, it is a profitable deal with external parties or trade in precious goods. For a craftsman, it is mastery of their work that enhances its value. For a woman, it is an increase in her husband's blessings upon her and an expansion of his provision. The analogy to "global brands" suggests that this provision may come from travel, or from an unexpected source, and will be a blessed provision that changes the dreamer's life for the better. Ibn Shaheen: Concealment, Elevation, and Blessed Marriage Ibn Shaheen confirms that buying adornment in a dream can be one of the most beautiful tidings; it is a divine covering for the servant that conceals their flaws and shows people their best qualities. Buying luxurious types of it is a doubled covering and great elevation. For bachelors and spinsters, this vision is one of the strongest indicators of a blessed marriage to a person of high social standing or noble origin, and this marriage will be a source of happiness and pride for the dreamer. Negative and Warning Implications in the Dream On the other hand, this vision may serve as a warning or admonition to the dreamer if they are deviating from the right path or have ill intentions. Ibn Sirin: Hypocrisy, Deceit, and Embellishment of Falsehood Ibn Sirin strongly warns against this vision if the dreamer is known for immorality or hypocrisy. Buying luxurious cosmetics here represents a deepening of deception and an investment in embellishing falsehood to appear as truth. It may indicate involvement in dubious projects based on fraud, or engaging in relationships built on lies. The "global brand" here symbolizes the mastery of deception to such an extent that it is difficult to uncover, trapping many in its snares. Al-Nabulsi: Arrogance, Ephemeral Wealth, and Temptation Al-Nabulsi links excessive adornment to arrogance, pride, and attachment to the fleeting adornments of worldly life. Buying expensive makeup may be a sign that the dreamer is spending their money inappropriately, on matters that bring no benefit other than boasting and showing off. The vision may also warn of a temptation that the dreamer faces or causes, where they use their attractive external appearance to entice others or draw them to falsehood. Ibn Shaheen: Sorrows Proportional to Adornment and Accumulating Debts From Ibn Shaheen's perspective, abundant and expensive adornment may be interpreted as worries and troubles. The more expensive and complex it is, the greater the dreamer's sorrows that they try to hide. The vision may indicate involvement in debts beyond the dreamer's ability to repay, in order to maintain a social appearance that does not match their reality. It is a desperate attempt to beautify a bitter reality, but it soon unravels and increases the burdens on its owner. Dream Interpretation According to the Dreamer's Social Status The interpretation of a vision varies significantly based on the dreamer's social status, as each person has their own reality and circumstances reflected in the symbol. Interpretation of Seeing Makeup Purchase for a Single Woman Ibn Sirin: Believes that a single woman buying adornment, especially expensive ones, is one of the clearest symbols of her impending marriage. The "global brand" may symbolize that the groom will be of great importance, wealthy, or perhaps from another country, and will provide her with a dignified life and high status. Al-Nabulsi: Interprets the dream as reflecting the girl's desire to prepare for a new and important stage in her life, which is marriage. The quality and price of the makeup reflect the groom's qualities and status; if it is luxurious, it indicates a happy and prosperous marriage. Ibn Shaheen: States that the vision is good news about her emotional and professional life. It could be an engagement, success in studies, or obtaining a prestigious job that increases her self-confidence and enhances her image in the eyes of people. Interpretation of Seeing Makeup Purchase for a Married Woman Ibn Sirin: For a married woman, buying adornment indicates a renewal of her love for her husband and her endeavor to make him happy. If the items are luxurious, it indicates an increase in the husband's provision and its reflection on her life. If there are disputes, the vision heralds an imminent reconciliation and a return of affection and love. Al-Nabulsi: The vision may be an indication of imminent pregnancy, especially if she desires it. The beauty of the adornment is measured against the beauty of the newborn. It may also indicate the stability of her marital life and her gaining a special place in the heart of her husband and his family. Ibn Shaheen: Sees it as a symbol of marital stability, happiness, and protection. Buying expensive makeup indicates that her husband appreciates her and treats her well, and that she lives in comfort and luxury. It may also indicate a happy family occasion, such as a child's success. Interpretation of Seeing Makeup Purchase for a Pregnant Woman Ibn Sirin: Tends to interpret a woman's adornment in a dream as indicating the gender of the newborn. Buying cosmetics is often interpreted as giving birth to a female, as adornment is more suited for women. Al-Nabulsi: Interprets it as good news of an easy and smooth birth. The makeup being of a "global brand" indicates that the child will be exceptionally beautiful and have a brilliant future, and will be a source of pride and happiness for their parents. Ibn Shaheen: Sees it as an indication of complete health and well-being for both mother and fetus. It is a sign that the pregnancy period will pass peacefully, and the birth will be surrounded by joy, celebrations, and happiness from family and loved ones. Interpretation of Seeing Makeup Purchase for a Divorced Woman Ibn Sirin: Considers this vision for a divorced woman as opening a new page and starting a better life. Buying precious adornment is a symbol of compensation from God, and it may be a new marriage to a well-off man who will compensate her for her past suffering and elevate her status. Al-Nabulsi: Interprets it as a regaining of her self-confidence and her desire to return to social life with strength. It is a symbol of overcoming the sadness phase and starting to take care of herself and her future, and she may get a distinguished job opportunity that achieves her financial independence. Ibn Shaheen: Believes it signifies the disappearance of worries and a change for the better. Buying luxurious makeup is an indication that she will regain her rights or obtain provision that will free her from need, and joy and happiness will return to her life again. Interpretation of Seeing Makeup Purchase for a Man Ibn Sirin: Believes that a man seeing himself buying makeup is generally not praiseworthy, unless he is buying it for his wife or one of the women in his family, in which case it indicates goodness, connection, and affection. However, if he is buying it for himself, it may indicate his involvement in work that requires deception, or that he is concealing a great matter from people, and it is a warning to him to avoid the path of hypocrisy. Al-Nabulsi: Links it to his trade and work. It may indicate trade in women's goods or anything related to adornment and beauty. Being "global brands" may mean the expansion of his trade to include import and export. But if he puts it on his face, it indicates embellishing his work with fraud and deception. Ibn Shaheen: Warns a man against this vision, as it may indicate his attempt to hide his weakness or poverty with false appearances. It may also indicate associating with corrupt people or imitating women, which is blameworthy. The vision is an invitation for him to adhere to masculinity, honesty, and clarity in his dealings. Modern Psychological Analysis of the Vision From a psychological perspective, seeing the purchase of makeup from global brands expresses several deep psychological motives. It is directly related to the concept of "self-image" and "self-esteem." The dreamer may feel a deficiency or dissatisfaction with their appearance or social status, and in their dream, they seek to compensate for this deficiency by acquiring symbols that denote value and social acceptance. The "global brand" here symbolizes the desire to belong to a higher class and achieve success that is recognized by others. The vision may also reflect the concept of the "social mask" or "persona" discussed by Carl Jung, which is the face we show to the world and which may differ from our inner reality. Buying makeup is a symbolic act of creating or maintaining this mask, and the desire to be a "brand" indicates the desire to present an ideal and polished version of oneself to society. Special Interpretations and Cases of the Vision Buying Makeup with a Known Person Ibn Sirin: Indicates a partnership with this person in some matter. If the person is righteous, the partnership is in good; if corrupt, it is a partnership in sin or deceit. Al-Nabulsi: Points to a shared secret or an agreement between the dreamer and this person to embellish something and present it to people in a certain way. Ibn Shaheen: Believes it signifies mutual benefit derived from this person, or entering into a project with them that benefits both. Buying Makeup from a Luxury Place Ibn Sirin: Interpreted as the dreamer entering the circle of people of authority, influence, or the wealthy. Al-Nabulsi: Indicates attaining a high position or obtaining benefit from a person of status. Ibn Shaheen: Symbolizes abundant provision and living in luxury and affluence, and a significant improvement in the dreamer's situation. Seeing a Gift of Expensive Makeup Ibn Sirin: If the dreamer is the one giving the gift, they are offering valuable advice or praising someone (and the praise may be hypocrisy). If they are receiving the gift, they are receiving praise or an opportunity to improve their situation. Al-Nabulsi: Symbolizes making peace, strengthening a relationship, or intermarriage with people of importance. Ibn Shaheen: Indicates a good deed performed by the dreamer that earns them a good reputation, or receiving valuable assistance from another person. Modern Interpretations and Their Link to Contemporary Reality In our current era, the vision of "global brands" takes on new dimensions by drawing analogies with ancient principles. It can be interpreted as career ambition in a multinational company, or the pursuit of an internationally accredited academic degree. It may symbolize the desire to travel and immigrate to a more developed and prosperous country. It is also closely linked to the world of social media, where buying luxurious makeup represents a desire to present an ideal and up-to-date image to gain admiration and followers, which is a kind of modern "adornment" that can be sincere or deceptive. It expresses an individual's aspirations in a world governed by image and brands, and their pursuit of status not only in their physical reality but also in the digital space. Conclusion: Adornment of the Outer and Inner Self In conclusion, the vision of buying cosmetic products from global brands remains a vision rich in meanings, oscillating between the poles of good and evil, truth and falsehood, elevation and vanity. It is an invitation for the dreamer to reflect on their condition and intention: Are they seeking the adornment of the inner self through morals, knowledge, and good deeds, so the vision becomes good news for them of high status in this world and the hereafter? Or are they immersed in deceptive external adornment, so the vision becomes a warning to them of the consequences of hypocrisy and arrogance? The key to correct interpretation always lies in the heart of the dreamer, for they know best the truth of their pursuit and the aim of their desire.
