Western/Modern

A dream where you are reading suggests knowledge before a big decision you need to make in your life. You are planning properly by doing all the right steps in order to advance. Dreams of reading books such as the Bible represents understanding your morals and belief systems. If you are reading a letter its becomes a message from your unconscious.

Islamic (Ibn Sirin)

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 a job 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.
