Is there a reliable book on the interpretation of dreams and visions?

There is no authoritative book specialized in dream interpretation, and the book attributed to Ibn Sirin is most likely not authored by him.
The interpretation of dreams should not be taken from books, due to the variation in their interpretation based on the characteristics of individuals, circumstances, and times. Ibn Sirin interpreted a dream of the (call to prayer) for one person as theft, and for another as Hajj (pilgrimage), justifying this by the differing characteristics of the dreamer.
