Islamic Interpretation of Dreams (Ibn-i Sirin):

(Offensive odor; Sweat) In a dream, perspiration means recovering from an illness, or it could represent the stench of death.

As for a healthy person, perspiration means work, or a service followed by a wretched life. Perspiration in a dream also represents the common adversities in one’s life.

If one sees himself sweating profusely in a dream, it means that he will fulfill his goals, or satisfy his needs. Perspiration under one’s armpit that produces an offensive odor in a dream represents an ailment or a plague.

As for a governor, a merchant, or a tradesman, such a stench in a dream means hoarding money in an ugly way. Perspiration in a dream also means losing money, paying taxes, or toiling.
