Notebook Dream Interpretations According to Islamic Scholars
Islamic scholars often associate the notebook with a person's perspective on life, the work they do, and the knowledge they use.
1. Abdullah bin Abbas: Even if you do not see an empty notebook in your dream, he says that everything you write or read in a notebook carries important messages about your perspective on life and your knowledge. If the notebook is full, it predicts that you will benefit from your knowledge and succeed in life. However, if the notebook is torn, it indicates that your knowledge is incomplete or that you are deprived of some important information.
2. Ibn Nablusi: A notebook is a reflection of your worldly and afterlife life. Details like the color of the notebook, the writings in it, whether it is worn or new, provide important clues to interpret your life. If the notebook is clean and organized, it indicates that your life is on track and that you live an organized life. However, if the notebook is dirty or messy, it indicates that you are experiencing emotional and spiritual turmoil and that you need to make some adjustments in your life.
3. Ibn Sirin: He offers different interpretations according to the place of the notebook in the dream. If the notebook is seen in a school, it indicates learning and acquiring knowledge. If the notebook is seen in a shop, it indicates that you will make a profit in your commercial life. The colors of the notebook are also important. A red notebook symbolizes love, a green notebook symbolizes health, a black notebook symbolizes sorrow, and a white notebook symbolizes joy.
4. Seyyid Süleyman: Seeing a notebook in a dream indicates that a person is sensitive to their responsibilities and duties. Everything written in the notebook symbolizes important memories and decisions in the person's life.

If the notebook is organized and legible, it means that your spiritual journey is on track and that you are taking steps to get closer to Allah. However, if the notebook is messy and illegible, it indicates that you are going through a turbulent period in your spiritual life and that you need to pray.
