Islamic Interpretation of Dreams (Ibn-i Sirin):

In a dream, a storyteller may represent the Imam of a mosque, or the Khatib who delivers the Friday sermon.

A storyteller in a dream also may represent one’s livelihood, or intestinal and bowel problems, or he could represent travels.

If the stories are new, then they mean disturbances in one’s life.

If they are stories of chivalry, then they represent a war.

A pleasant story one tells to a king, or to Ulan of authority in a dream represents wealth, or great profits which are distributed equitably.

As for a merchant, hearing a pleasant story in a dream represents easy and quick profits from his business, and for a craftsman, it represents a sizeable contract, or an important new account.
