Interpretation 1 — Ibn Seerin

Reading the front page of a letter, a paper, or a book in a dream means receiving an inheritance. Reading the last page, or the back cover of a book in a dream means indebtedness. Reading a book in a dream also means receiving an inheritance.

If one finds himself as a lettered person and if he reads well in his dream, it means that he will attain a high ranking job.

If one sees himself reading his book of records in a dream, it means that he will repent for his sins. Reading a book in another language in a dream means travelling to such a country, or going to places one is not familiar with and performing ajob that will earn him fame.

If one sees himself reading a book in a foreign language and is unable to properly decipher its words in a dream, it means that he will escape from a potential danger he could face in such a land, or it could mean falling sick in a foreign country, then recovering from one’s illness before returning to one’s homeland.

Interpretation 4 — Theresa Cheung

This relates to the gathering or recalling of knowledge or information; the key is to recall what was read. Books in dreams tend to relate to things you have learned from experience. They can also reflect the world of imagination and escape. Alternatively, they can relate to your ability to learn from the opinions and experience of others. Dreams about writing pertain to a desire to express inner thoughts, ideas or sensitivities.

If you suffer from writer’s block, this may point to confusion and an absence of inspiration.
