Islamic Interpretation
(Charmer, Poet, Reciting) A poet reciting his verses in a dream represents a man who brings peace to people's hearts, entertains them, and dispels anger from their hearts if God's name is mentioned in his poem. If he does not mention the name of God Almighty in the dream, then his words may be baseless and false. A poet in a dream also represents someone who pieces together a conversation, or who embellishes his words with lies, or who deceives people by giving them bad advice, encourages them to do wrong and to abstain from what is right, or misleads them with deceptive words. In general, seeing a poet in a dream means concoctions, lies, adultery, alcoholism, greed, or someone who writes poems for money and fame. If the person seeing the dream memorizes poetic verses containing words of wisdom, or verses glorifying God Almighty, or praising His Messenger, upon whom be peace, or if one becomes a poet who recites such poems in the dream, it means that he will acquire knowledge, status, honour, and receive guidance. In a dream, a poet also represents a seducer who says something and does something else. (Also see Poem, Snake charmer)
