Sparrow 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 sound of sparrows may point to fine words or the study of knowledge, and that sparrows may point to gathering, closeness and love with family and relatives at times of joy. He gives sparrows other readings too. Interpretation differs with the dreamer's state, and Allah knows best.

From the book
