witnesses the signing agreement. A tailor in a dream also represents someone
who regrets his wrongdoing, or amends his conduct for the better. To become a

Writer
(Author; Book; Letter; Scribe; Secretary; Starling; Write) A writer in a
dream represents a dishonest, cunning, deceitful and a fraudulent person. If a
writer sees himself unlettered in a dream, it means that he will forget his
pranks, or lose his mind, or waste his religion, or develop a weak spiritual
standing, or become poor. If one sees himself as an unlettered person, then if
he suddenly becomes a writer in a dream, it means that he will develop pranks
and deceive his opponent or enemy. Discovering oneself as a writer in a dream
means that one will attend to the comfort of others rather than to his own
comfort. Consequently he will get exhausted from such exercise and find that
he gained nothing from it. If a sick person sees such a dream, it means his death.
If a worker sees that dream, then it connotes his honesty and loyalty, or it could
mean that he will be promoted, or get a raise from his employer. A writer in a
dream also represents a tailor, a farmer, or a locomotive engineer. Seeing a
scribe, or the secretary of managerial people, or someone in authority in a dream
means that one may become one of them, or it could mean that he will rise in
station, or improve his life. (Also see Paper; Write)

Orthopedist
(Bonesetter) An orthopedist who corrects skeletal deformities and sets
broken bones in a dream represents a pious governor who governs with justice,
teaches righteousness, balances substances and conforms to equanimity. Seeing
an orthopedist in a dream also means presumptuousness, might and audacity. He
also represents officiousness, adroitness and resoluteness, for he discards the
deficient and brings together what is broken. Seeing an orthopedist in a dream
also means distress and trouble. He also represents an architect, and an architect
represents an orthopedist in a dream. Thus, seeing him in a dream also means
construction and could represent a generous person who comforts, accommodates
and helps a needy person, or a wise man who comforts the broken hearts, a just
judge, a great scholar, a shoe repairman, or a tailor. If one sees himself standing
before an orthopedist in a dream because of a broken bone or another fracture and
then complains about an abscess in his neck, and if the orthopedist opens that
abscess with pliers to drain the puss in the dream, then it represents a debt one
has to repay, or a votive offering one has to fulfill, or it could mean giving a
testimony in court, or accepting the ruling of a scholar. If an orthopedist sets one’s
broken right arm and ties it to his neck in a dream, it means that someone will
oblige him to do him a personal favor and consequently deprive him from
attending other duties, or restrain him from serving other charities. The same
interpretation is given for a broken leg.
