Taking dream interpretation as a profession

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, what is your opinion of one who makes himself an interpreter of dreams, and does this affect his creed?

Answer:
Taking this as a profession and trade is not something that should be done, because he may be guessing without having knowledge of interpreting visions, and he has not been tasked with this. This also occupies people and causes them the obsessions that they should avoid. This type of thing, where some people devote themselves to it or set up a session on the radio or on television to interpret dreams, or in the newspapers, there is no need for it. But if a vision is presented to him and he has the ability to interpret it, he interprets it. As for making this a profession, making it a constant thing, and opening the door for it, this is a matter that should be blocked and prevented. Yes.
