Interpretation of Friendship in Dreams According to Al-Nabulsi

Ibn Sirin did not separately address the interpretation of seeing friendship and friends in dreams. However, he may have mentioned it indirectly in other sections. Sheikh Al-Nabulsi briefly touched on the interpretation of companionship in dreams. Much of what is found online regarding Ibn Sirin’s interpretation of friendship in dreams is unfounded and lacks verification in reference books such as Selected Speech on Dream Interpretation by Ibn Sirin, The Dictionary of Dream Interpretation by Ibn Sirin and Al-Nabulsi, and Optimistic Dream Interpretations by Ibn Sirin.
