Both are indicative of the status of the dreamer. The more white hair there is in his beard, the more goodness there is in him. The strength or weakness [of the middle aged or old man] refers to the status of the dreamer. If he dreams that an old man accompanied him or spoke to him or judged him, and the old man looked well, he will attain glory and status because the old man is like one who has experience of life and knows about things, and he enjoins nothing but good and forbid nothing but evil. If he dreams that a young man turned into an old man,he will acquire knowledge and good manners.
If he dreams that an old man became young again, his happiness will be renewed, because he moved from weakness to strength and from in capability to ability. And it was said that he will acquire the attributes of young boys, which is something bad, hence it is indicative of trouble and loss of status.
And someone said that he dreamt that the old man’s beard turned black. He said: You have crops or gardens that nearly died of thirst or drought, but now they are fine. Another man dreamt that and he said: Itis as if there is some argument between you and your relatives. And that was indeed the case. Another man dreamt that and he said: You have done some deeds of ignorance.
A sick person dreamt that and he said:He will recover, because he was restored to strength after weakness.And it all turned out as he said.He said: If he gains possession of a group of middle aged or young men, he will gain power over his enemies and they will obey him.
If he gains control over a group of middle-aged man, then if he is trying to do something and some of it will be difficult. If he gains control over old man, he will succeed in all that he wanted.
