I've just finished reading the pages available on Google Books of Dreambooks in Byzantium: six oneirocritica in translation, with commentary ... By Steven M. Oberhelman.marco wrote: But what about the Books of Dreams?

There's an original copy of Daniel's Dreambook in Latin Here, and enough of Steven Oberhelman's book on Google Books to give one a good idea of the content of the medieval dreambooks.The Daniel dreambook is commonly accepted as the earliest Byzantine oneirocriticon; some scholars even consider it the basic source text for all medieval dreambooks of both the East and the West.

I have downloaded Daniel. It's quite short (21 pages) and simple: a dictionary of objects with the associated interpretation. Transcribing and translating it would not be hard for a small team of interested people
Pages 20/21 present meanings for the 23 letters of the alphabet.
