Although...on a final note- i woud NOT advise anybody to get hooked onto checking what their dreams mean, it will ultimately lead to paranoia, only that will happen what Allah wills. Wallahu A'lam :w:

how many people do you know that are Hafiz (by memory alone) of Ahadith?

Quraan is memorizable because it is designed like a chain so that it can be protected

Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatulaahi Wa Barakatuh,

Some books on dream interpretation contain lies and misconceptions. They attirbute to the Prophet, the sahabah, and the 'ulimah, false dreams and interpretations. Their interpretations are unrealistic, unfounded, and in discord with acceptable rules of dream interpretation that we establish in this book. A noteworthy example is "Ibn Sirin's Dictionary of Dream Interpretation", which mixes truth with falshood and attributes that to Ibn Sirin what he did not say. We advice the reader to avoid that and other unsibstaintiated dream interpretation books and dsctionaries.

And at-Tuwayjiri said:

"Many books of dream interpretation, attributed to Ibn Sirin and other authors, have been published. There is no benefit in studying or searching in these books, because they would confuse the thoughts, and may bring worry and distress to those who see unpleasent dreams. Futhermore, some of those who have no knolwedge of dream interpretation may make themselves authorities of dream interpretation according to these books, arriving at conclusions that are contrary to the correct ones, and fabricating lies through their ingnorance."

Ar-Ru'ya, p. 169-170.
