Ibn Sirin is one of most highly regarded Classical Scholars of the First Century Hijri, born in Basra in 33 AH. Among his contemporaries were Imam Anas Bin Malik, Al-Hassan Al-Basri, Ibn Aown, Al-Fudhayl, Bin Iyadh and Others.
The Interpretation of Dreams is a Complex Subject so this book can only be used as a reference but real interpretation can only be carried out by experts in this field as Imam Ibn Sirin himself says:
'There is no type of knowledge and wisdom which is not needed in the interpretation of dreams, even mathematics, shares of inheritance, judgements, Arabic and its strange words for the meaning of names, parables, laws of the deen and religious practices, the lawful and unlawful, the prayer, wudu', and other knowledge. Dispute in it is used as analogy and the meaning is taken from it. So the principles of commentary which you possess are more successful in interpretation than what the dreamer tells you to try to make you abandon the principles, even if you consider him to be a truthful, reliable person.'
