Reading / Recitation

Ibn Sîrîn: Reading the first page of a letter, a sheet of paper, or a book in a dream signifies receiving an inheritance. Reading its last page or back cover denotes becoming indebted. Reading a book likewise signifies receiving an inheritance. If one sees himself as a person who knows how to read and write and who reads well in a dream, it indicates that he will attain a high-ranking position. Seeing that one is reading his own book of deeds denotes that he will repent of his sins. Reading a book in another language indicates travelling to that country, or going to places unknown to him and undertaking a deed that will earn him renown.

Seeing that one reads a book in a foreign language but cannot correctly decipher its words indicates that he will be delivered from a danger he might encounter in that land, or that, having fallen ill in a foreign country, he will recover before returning to his homeland.

It provides early awareness; the person sees risks before they grow and can choose a more solid path.

Neglect, haste, untrustworthy people or uncontrolled behavior can increase the difficulty.

In the interpretation, the themes of general meaning, inner intuition, the emotional tone in the dream, and how the symbol concluded in the dream should be evaluated together.
