Kinds and conditions of Nakedness

private parts / nakedness

attributed to Ibn Sirin, Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam

As for the private parts (‘awrah), their exposure means the tearing away of one's covering, and the gloating of enemies. It is what lies between the navel and the knee.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 167–170

So whoever sees that he exposed them, or that his clothes—or some of them—were uncovered from them, then something of his will be exposed in proportion to how much of them appeared.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 167–170

nakedness and exposing the private parts

Ibn Shahin al-Zahiri, al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat

Whoever sees that he is naked and is ashamed before people and asks them for something to cover himself with, then he will be disgraced by them and his secret will be spread abroad. And if he is not ashamed before them and does not ask them for something to cover himself with, then he will be granted the Hajj.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 161

And whoever sees that he is naked but his private parts are covered, and he is not corrupt in himself, then it is interpreted as pardon, forgiveness, and victory. But if he is not worthy of that, then it is not praiseworthy.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 161

being stripped naked / nakedness

Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi, Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam

In a dream: whoever sees that he was stripped naked and does not know whether his being stripped was in a righteous matter or a sin — if the place in which he is stripped is a market or the midst of a crowd, and his private parts are exposed, and it is as though he is ashamed of them, and he has some clothing on him, then his covering will be torn away, and there is no fear in that.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, p. 43

If his being stripped was as described, and his private parts were not exposed, and he did not persist in being ashamed of them, and he had nothing of his clothing upon him, then he will be delivered from a matter in which he is in distress; and if he is ill, Allah the Exalted will heal him; and if he is in debt, Allah will settle his debt; and if he is fearful, Allah the Exalted will grant him security.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, p. 43

nakedness (of adulterers in the vision)

Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, Fath al-Bari, commentary on Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Dream Interpretation

His statement: (they are the adulterers) — the appropriateness of nakedness for them is because they deserve to be exposed, since their custom is to conceal themselves in seclusion, so they were punished by having their covering torn away. And the wisdom in the torment coming upon them from beneath them is that their crime was committed by their lower members.

Fath al-Bari, commentary on Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Dream Interpretation, pp. 7432–7433

Its explanation is that nakedness is a disgrace, like adultery, and the adulterer's way is to seek seclusion, so the oven is fitting; then he is fearful and wary while committing the act, as though beneath him were fire.
