Story Dream Meaning
Dream interpretation
The symbol of storytelling in your dream may reflect various aspects of your life. It can indicate your focus on your career or work. Sometimes, storytelling reveals your inner thoughts and feelings. If you are listening to or telling a story, it may hint at your social life or relationships. This dream symbol encourages you to be aware of your experiences and emotions.
Ibn Sirin
Story — Islamic interpretation
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Story" (page 414) — resolved via the equivalent "Storyteller" entry.
In a dream, a storyteller may represent the Imam of a mosque, or the Khatib who delivers the Friday sermon. A storyteller in a dream also may represent one's livelihood, or intestinal and bowel problems, or he could represent travels. If the stories are new, then they mean disturbances in one's life. If they are stories of chivalry, then they represent a war. A pleasant story one tells to a king, or to Ulan of authority in a dream represents wealth, or great profits which are distributed equitably. As for a merchant, hearing a pleasant story in a dream represents easy and quick profits from his business, and for a craftsman, it represents a sizeable contract, or an important new account. (Also see Comedian; Humorist)
Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
