===Middle Ages===
In [[psychology in medieval Islam|medieval Islamic psychology]], certain [[hadith]]s indicate that [[dream]]s consist of three parts, and early [[Ulema|Muslim scholars]] recognized three kinds of dreams: false, pathogenic, and true.<ref name=Amber-376>{{Harv|Haque|2004|p=376}}</ref> [[Ibn Sirin]] (654–728) was renowned for his ''Ta'bir al-Ru'ya'' and ''Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tabir al-Ahlam'', a book on dreams. The work is divided into 25 sections on dream interpretation, from the etiquette of interpreting dreams to the interpretation of reciting certain [[Sura]]hs of the [[Qur'an]] in one's dream. He writes that it is important for a layperson to seek assistance from an [['alim|alim]] (Muslim scholar) who could guide in the interpretation of dreams with a proper understanding of the cultural context and other such causes and interpretations.<ref name=Amber-375>{{Harv|Haque|2004|p=375}}</ref> [[Al-Kindi]] (Alkindus) (801–873) also wrote a treatise on dream interpretation: ''On Sleep and Dreams''.<ref name=Amber-361>{{Harv|Haque|2004|p=361}}</ref> In [[consciousness]] studies, [[Al-Farabi]] (872–951) wrote the ''On the Cause of Dreams'', which appeared as chapter 24 of his ''Book of Opinions of the people of the Ideal City''.

Ibn Shaheen states: "Interpretations change their foundations according to the different conditions of the seer (of the vision), so seeing handcuffs during sleep is disliked but if a righteous person sees them it can mean stopping the hands from evil". Ibn Sirin said about a man who saw himself giving a sermon from the mimbar: "He will achieve authority and if he is not from the people who have any kind of authority it means that he will be crucified".
