Middle Aged and Old Men

Both are indicative of the status of the dreamer. The more white hairthere is in his beard, the more goodness there is in him. The strengthor weakness [of the middle aged or old man] refers to the status of thedreamer. If he dreams that an old man accompanied him or spoke tohim or judged him, and the old man looked well, he will attain gloryand status because the old man is like one who has experience of lifeand knows about things, and he enjoins nothing but good and forbidsnothing but evil. If he dreams that a young man turned into an old man,he will acquire knowledge and good manners. If he dreams that an old man became young again, his happiness will be renewed, because he moved from weakness to strength and fromincapability to ability. And it was said that he will acquire the attributesof young boys, which is something bad, hence it is indicative of troubleand loss of status. And someone said that he dreamt that the old man's beard turnedblack. He said: You have crops or gardens that nearly died of thirst ordrought, but now they are fine. Another man dreamt that and he said: It is as if there is some argument between you and your relatives. And thatwas indeed the case. Another man dreamt that and he said: You havedone some deeds of ignorance. A sick person dreamt that and he said:He will recover, because he was restored to strength after weakness. And it all turned out as he said. He said: If he gains possession of a group of middle aged or youngmen, he will gain power over his enemies and they will obey him. If hegains control over a group of middle-aged man, then if he is trying to dosomething and some of it will be difficult. If he gains control over oldmen, he will succeed in all that he wanted.
