Misreading and Misspelling of Words

This is also to be paid attention to in this field of knowledge. For example, a man saw in a dream that another man gave him a violet (a purple flower). The dream interpreter said to him: Have you made a contract to buy some goods or to get married? He said yes. He said: It will be cancelled, because the word BaNafsaj (violet), if misspelled, becomes Yanfasakh (it is annulled). In my view, if it is given to a sick person, that indicates that he is going to recover. A man was given a large clay vessel (Khaabiyah). I said: You will ask that man for something and you will be disappointed (Takheeb), because the word Khaabiyah (large clay vessel) may be misspelled as Kaa'ibah (disappointed). And that is what happened. Then that man saw in his dream that the large clay vessel fell into a river and sank. I said to him: You will get what you want, because the Khaybah (disappointment) has gone. And that is what happened. One of the Qaadis of Tunis said to me: I saw (in a dream) that a cupper purified me. I said to him: Be of good cheer: you will be returned to your position and you will become prominent, because purification (Tuhoor) is prominence (Zuhoor). Then he was appointed in charge of the judiciary. Another example of what we have mentioned above is that the word Safarjal (quince) may be misread as Baththun Yufraju li (meaning a relief for me), so it is indicative of a diminishing of distress. A man saw (in a dream) that he was given a cutter (Nashaarah) with which to cut paper for books, and he interpreted that as glad tidings that had come to him (because the word Nashaarah, meaning a cutter, may be misread as Bashaarah, meaning glad tidings). Another example is the word 'Inab (grapes) which may be misread as Ghayth (help or rain). If a person sees that in his farmland and is in need of rain, it is glad tidings for him of rain and so on.
