In a new contribution to the anthropology of dreaming, I explore the epistemological and affective excess of prophetic dreams, in an aura of dream-images dream-images. Collective engagement with dreams occurs through experiencing olfactory registers which are perceived together as divine intervention. Drawing on an ethnographic fieldwork in Shīʿī women’s pious circles in Teheran, this chapter discusses the largely unexamined dreamscape of Muslim women beyond tropes and symbols of Islamic dream interpretation (taʿbīr). I focus on women whose experience of losing sons and husbands during the Iran-Iraq war (1980–88), without retrieving their bodies for a proper funeral, engages them with an intimate attachment to Fāṭima, the daughter of the Prophet. Through a close examination of the experiences and context of their visions, and of the collective practices they trigger in the pious circles, this study illuminates how the intrinsic distance between the dream and waking world dissolves through claims of feeling the aura. The portrayal of Fāṭima plays a major role in the formal governmental discourse of Islamic womanhood in post-revolutionary Iran. The state has succeeded to link its political agenda on veiling and motherhood to her sacred persona. I argue that women’s dreams momentarily suspend this formal discourse, while regenerating and embellishing it in itself.
