Skin

It has been said: The skin and hide a person sees in a dream are a person's covering, and the wealth he leaves behind from his death and from his health. If a sick man sees his skin flayed in a dream, it is interpreted as death. If a healthy person sees this dream, it signifies poverty for that person. If a person sees his body sound and plump in a dream, it signifies the strength of his religion and faith.
