Chardonnens, László Sándor, "Dream Divination in Manuscripts and Early Printed Books: Patterns of Transmission", dins: Cesario, Marilina - Magennins, Hugh (eds.), Aspects of Knowledge: Preserving and Reinventing Traditions of Learning in the Middle Ages, Manchester, Manchester University Press, 2018, pp. 23-52.

Resum
Upon consulting three different forms of medieval dream divination, we learn that to dream of a dragon signifies honour, but to do so on the sixteenth day of the moon will make the dream come true only after a long time, and if one finds the letter v on the first line of the left-hand page of a book opened at random after the dream, it means death. The dreamer may eventually achieve honour, therefore, but if out of luck might die before the auspicious outcome of the dream can take effect. Whether medieval people approached dream divination in the same exhaustive way as the example given here is the subject of this chapter.
