Long hair dream meaning in Islam

What the classical Islamic books of dream interpretation say about this symbol, with the book and page.

What al-Nabulsi wrote

Al-Nabulsi wrote in Ta'tir al-Anam that the hair of the head may point to wealth and long life, and that seeing oneself with long hair and being glad of it is praiseworthy, especially for women. He gives other readings, by the dreamer's state. Interpretation differs with the dreamer's state, and Allah knows best.
