Ibn Sirin is still, after probably ~1200 years, the most renowned Muslim theologian that interpreted dreams, yet I read that he used to ask many questions and try to understand a person and his circumstances before he would interpret a dream, and sometimes used to tell the person to come back later until he thought of an answer. He only apparently answered a fraction of the dreams that people used to ask him about. There is a book that you can easily buy with a collection of dream interpretations by him, the book itself I do not think was collected by him personally and I do not know how authentic it is. Besides, meanings of things change according to time, person, circumstances, so this book would only really give you an idea of what you need to consider when interpreting a dream. I think I remember correct that this book classifies dreams broadly into three types: 1) a truthful dream in which you have seen past your physical confines 2) a dream which is just a disturbing distortion but not true, e.g. after someone has a bad meal or had a bad day 3) something your mind has been busy with during the day and it continues working on while you sleep. A dream may have elements of the three :) so you need to know how to distinguish and untagle before you can start thinking of what it might mean. Also you have to know your own dream patterns: some people might dream of things weeks ahead of time, some might dream of things just before they happen, etc. I don't want to, and can't, write an essay about this but you get the idea.

I woke up thinking this really happened, and I cannot begin to tell you of my panic!!! Oh my God, I had to go and get my transcript to make sure I didn't really fail. This was two years after I graduated!!!
