Knowledge Dream Meaning
Dream interpretation
If you dream of acquiring knowledge, it may signify an important change in your life. This symbolizes the possibility of marriage and an improvement in your social status. Even if you gain recognition or achieve fame, it can bring good news for your career as well. Such dreams reflect the growth of your self-confidence and abilities.
Ibn Sirin
Knowledge — Islamic interpretation
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Knowledge" (page 245).
To see oneself acquiring knowledge in a dream means marriage and rising in status. Such a wedding will be announced publicly. If one earns a title of recognition, or if he becomes renowned, or if he is awarded a great prize for his work in a dream, it means glad tidings of a beautiful son he will beget and who will follow his father's footsteps, learn his trade, or work at spreading his father's knowledge or traditions, or he may govern or lead after him. To learn about God Almighty, or about the prophetic traditions of His Messenger, upon whom be peace, in a dream means being encompassed with God's mercy and subtle kindness. To learn about sorcery, black magic or similar arts in a dream mean following innovation and walking the path of heedlessness. (Also see Learning)
Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.

- Connect it to your current life — Look for events or situations in your waking life that involve knowledge or its themes — the dream is often a reflection of those.
