The book in a dream indicates power, relief, and joy. A book in the right hand is a true testimony and a righteous deed. A book in the left hand is regret for an ugly deed. Whoever sees himself reading a book he doesn't understand will inherit a legacy. Tearing a book indicates the removal of worry and grief.
