Later on, unrest will bring tyrants or dictators to justice, while people of knowledge and piety will survive and regain their authority. If one sees himself as a caliph or as an Imam in a dream, and should he qualify, it means that he will receive such an honour, rank, trust, and fame in the land, though his vice-regency will not become hereditary. However, it is a bad omen if he becomes a caliph in the dream and does not qualify for such an appointment. In such a case, and by contrast, he will be humiliated and dispersed, and his helpers will become his superiors, while his enemies will rejoice at his misfortune.

If one sees himself mixing with the king's harem, or sleeping with them, and should there be signs of comfort, trueness, or wisdom in his act in the dream, it means that he will enter the king's inner circles. Otherwise, should he in the dream fear the consequences of what is happening, or if he lacks trueness, or if he slanders them, or indulges in what is unlawful for him to do, then should he reach the king's door, it means that he will triumph against his enemies inside that palace, and they can cause no harm to him. If in his dream, the king gives him a gift, it means that he will win victory and honour in his life to equal the value of that gift. If the king gives him a brocaded silk garment in the dream, it means that he will give him a wife from the royal family.

If the king dies and does not get buried in a dream, it means that the king and his subjects are deviants. If he is buried and the people walk away from his grave in the dream, it means that one will pursue something of no benefit, unless God Almighty decrees otherwise.

If a physician visits a healthy person in a dream and writes a prescription for him, it means that he will fall sick. Seeing or visiting a physician in a dream means exposing one's secrets, for a physician works to extract the patient's illness just like a snake charmer who brings a snake out of its hiding. A physician in a dream also represents a garbage collector, a street cleaner, a spy, a backbiter, or a fighter who sometimes wins and sometimes loses. To see oneself as a physician in a dream means attaining a high-ranking position, or becoming a policeman, or a commander who controls people's livelihood.

If one sees a just and well-known judge as a physician in a dream, it means that his compassion and welfare will encompass everyone in that locality. If one sees a known physician as a judge or a wise man in a dream, it means that one will become renowned, his status will rise, and he will become a celebrated pioneer in his field. If he is not known to be a righteous physician, then it means that one will be visited with adversities, or it could mean that someone will die from malpractice, or it could mean that persevering with daring attempts will increase one's business at the expense of people's lives. If one sees a physician selling coffins or folded shrouds in a dream, one should be suspicious of him in wakefulness, even if people are fascinated by his charm. If one sees a physician working as a tanner in a dream, it shows the physician's ingenuity, knowledge of his trade, and the many people who recover from their illness at his hand. The exception to that is when the tan is spoiled, or if it has a stench, or if it is ineffective in the dream, then it means that such a physician is a crafty swaggerer.
