This book presents a unique traditional classification of dream symbols, which has maintained its prominence over decades. It is considered the most famous book attributed to Ibn Sirin and the most widely referenced work in Arab and Islamic culture for interpreting visions.

This book is not merely a dictionary of symbols; rather, it is a guide that reflects the depth of the Islamic heritage in dealing with dreams, deriving its meanings from the rich sources of Arab culture.

Since ancient times, dreams have occupied the human mind.

From a religious perspective, visions were a gateway to inspiration, whether as good tidings or a warning.
In modern science, dreams have become complex mental activities; an expression of the subconscious, memory, and emotion.
In the realm of philosophy, dreams were seen as a symbolic space where reality intersects with imagination, and consciousness with the unsaid.
Between these three worlds, dreams always stand in a gray area… neither pure illusion nor complete reality.

This book is an abridgment of the most famous traditional work in the Islamic world concerning the interpretation of visions and dreams, highlighting the most important content from the book attributed to Imam Muhammad Ibn Sirin. Dreams are not presented as enigmatic puzzles, but as a language with keys and symbols that change according to the dreamer's state, time, and context.

In this unique abridgment:

An understanding of the jurisprudence of visions, where interpretation relies on fixed principles from the Holy Quran and the Sunnah, in addition to drawing upon Arab proverbs and poetry.
A structured and detailed review of various symbols and meanings, categorized into multiple groups.
An attempt to read the messages that dreams may carry, if any, whether they are indications of coming good, warnings of potential evil, or merely reflections of a psychological state.
 

An interpretation that does not stop at the symbol but penetrates to its meaning, distinguishing between true visions, self-talk, and confused dreams.

The abridged book of Ibn Sirin's Interpretation of Dreams is not a book about sleep, but about humanity… when it sees itself in another form and tries to understand what it saw, and what it saw within it.
