Dictionary
A dictionary is a list of words with their
definitions, a list of characters with their
glyphs, or a list of words with corresponding words in other languages. In a few languages, words can appear in many different forms, but only the
lemma form appears as the main word or
headword in most dictionaries. Many dictionaries also provide
pronunciation information;
grammatical information; word derivations, histories, or
etymologies; illustrations; usage guidance; and examples in phrases or sentences. Dictionaries are most commonly found in the form of a book, but more and more dictionaries, like
StarDict, are produced as a
software runs from electronic
PDA or a general purpose
computer. There are also many online dictionaries, which are accessible via the
Internet and which may use
online databases. Most dictionaries are produced by
lexicographers. Dictionaries are usually in alphabetical order and sold all around the world.

About
Dictionary
To dream that you are referring to a dictionary, signifies you will depend too much upon the opinion and suggestions of others for the clear management of your own affairs, which could be done with proper dispatch if your own will was given play.
