Islamic Interpretation of Dreams (Ibn-i Sirin):

Memorizing a poem or a verse from a poem in a dream means engaging in a business from which one will acquire great knowledge, or it could mean profits or success in whatever trade one chooses to practice.

Ifone sees himselfin a court of justice reciting poems for money in the dream, it means that he will give a false testimony.

Ifhe recites a poem for a gathering in a dream, it means that he will relate a wise saying, though he himself inclines to hypocrisy.

Ifone sees himself listening to a poem in a dream, it means that he will associate himself with a group of people who do not foster the truth.

In a dream, poems also represent falsehood or vain talk. Reciting a poem or listening to one and memorizing its verses in a dream means that one should take heed to what it says.

If the poem one is listening to in his dream contains wisdom or a divine revelation, then it does mean good. Composing a poem, or memorizing it in a dream also means losing one’s status, dismissal from one’s job, weakness in one’s religious adherence, suffering from depression, adversities, sufferingfrom slander by one’s enemy, or it could represent a crafty ploy.

If one composes a defamatory poem or a satirical poem in a dream, it means that he slanders others for fun or profit.

If it is lauding someone, then it means that he will become poor.

If he sings his poem with a melody in the dream, it represents a satirical attitude toward someone, doubt about someone, or failure to complete one’s work.
