Tablet
(Blackboard; Preserved Tablet; Records; Scrolls) Seeing the heavenly
Preserved Tablet in a dream means unveiling one’s actions and thoughts, glad
tidings for someone suffering from adversities, recovering from an illness for an
ailing person, or falling into sin for people whose indulgence in abominable
action is a common way of life. As for godly and righteous people, seeing the
Preserved Tablet in a dream means guidance relating to what God Almighty
has written of commands and prohibitions. As for niggardly people, seeing the
Preserved Tablet in a dream means acquaintance with one’s written shares and
certainty about one’s limitations and his life in this world. Seeing it also means
preserving knowledge, cataloging references, or saving money for one’s family
and heirs. It also represents a guardian for one’s properties, treasurer, the
keeper of one’s secrets, or a controller. Seeing the Preserved Tablet in a dream
also could denote enjoying peace after experiencing fear. If a ruler sees the
Preserved Tablet in a dream, it means that his sovereignty will expand, or it
could mean that he will discover a great treasure. As for the tablets that were
revealed to God’s prophet Moses, upon whom be peace, seeing them in a dream represents witnesses,
spiritual guides, guidance or admonition. A wooden blackboard in a dream represents one’s wife,
child, farmland, or finding peace after suffering from fear,
or it could mean knowledge if one is a seeker of such avenues. In general,
all boards in a dream represent admonition or prohibition
of sin. Receiving a writing tablet from an Imam in a dream means an appointment
to leadership, knowledge, understanding, or becoming an Imam, except if what
is written on the blackboard in the dream implies admonition to do good, then
the tablet means guidance and mercy. If the blackboard is made of iron in the
dream, it means that one will beget a son who will become a great scholar and
a strongman. A polished board in a dream means that one’s son will become a
man of courage who accomplishes what he intends, acquires what he wants, and
who will rarely be defeated. If the blackboard is corroded in the dream, it means
that one’s son will have no dynasty. If the blackboard is made of stone in the
dream, it means that his heart will be like a rock. If the blackboard is made of
copper in the dream, it means that one’s son will grow to be a hypocrite. If it is
made of lead in the dream, it means that one’s son will be an effeminate person.
A tablet in a dream also denotes a woman and the writing on it represent her
children, or it could represent an intelligent and a good natured boy who accepts
what he learns from his teacher. Receiving a blackboard from someone in
authority in a dream means gaining power. If a pregnant woman sees a
blackboard in a dream, it means that she will beget a son.

Papers
(Books; Credentials; Letter; Newspaper; Records; Revelations; Scrolls;
Studies) Papers in a dream represent witnesses, guidance, spiritual leaders,
knowledge, warnings, or glad tidings. Holding papers in a dream means glad
tidings and celebration. If a woman hands someone a piece of paper in a dream,
then one may expect good news to arrive from one moment to another. If the
woman who hands him the paper covers herself with a veil in the dream, it
means that he should be careful. Carrying a folded piece of paper in a dream
means that one may have an accident that could be the cause of his death. If one
sees himself carrying a paper in his left hand in a dream, it means that he regrets
something he did. Writing a paper with the left hand in a dream means writing
poem, or committing abominable actions, or that one will beget a son from
adultery. If a God fearing person sees himself looking at a paper written in a
language he cannot decipher in a dream, it means that he will face humiliation
or suffer from distress. If one is offered a wrapping paper and he finds a newborn
baby wrapped inside it in a dream, it means that he will hire a servant with some
strings attached to his employment. If one is given a newspaper, or a document
but does not care to read it in his dream, it means that he may receive an
inheritance. If one reads the title page of a newspaper in a dream, it also means
that he may receive an inheritance. If he quickly browses through it in his
dream, then it means debts. To see one’s records of the Day of Judgment open
before his own eyes in a dream, it denotes his faith, certitude, lack of doubt and
true belief in what God’s Messenger, upon whom be peace, brought from his
Lord. (Also see Book; Letter; Paper; Reference book; Write; Writing)

Table of contents
(Chapters; Drawers; Scrolls) In a dream, the table of contents
represents the subject of a hardcover book containing the bezels of wisdom, or
a book of knowledge. It also means a rich woman, a rich man, a report card,
forthcoming benefits, a register, an astrological sign, a scroll, or a drawer.

Turtle
In a dream, a turtle represents a woman who likes to adorn herself and to
make herself noticeable to please men. A turtle in a dream is also interpreted
as a man of knowledge, or a chiefjustice, because she is most knowledgeable and
God fearing amongst the sea creatures. In a dream, a turtle therefor could
represent a devout worshipper who reads the scrolls of God’s prophet Abraham,
upon whom be peace, or any of the holy scriptures. Seeing a pet turtle in a house
or a town in a dream means that the people of knowledge in that locality are well
respected. Seeing a turtle living in a dump, then it represents a knowledgeable
person living in the midst of ignorant people who care little about learning
anythingfrom him. Eating a turtle in a dream means profits, benefits, or money.
If one sees a turtle inside his house, or if he owns one in a dream, it means that
he will benefit from the company of a learned person who is acquainted with
ancient manuscripts, or in interpreting ancient scrolls. Ifone sees a turtle lying
on its back in a dream, it means that there is a man of knowledge in that town
people do not recognize. If one sees a well kept and fed turtle sitting on a brocade
in the dream, it means that the people of that town honor their scholars.
However, a turtle in a dream also can be interpreted as deception, trickery,
spying, hiding, evil and acquisition of weapons.
