Tipu wrote this book in Persian as he was a Persian lover and master of the language and made it an official language while removing Kannada from the administrative usage. Read this book to understand the psyche of "secular king and freedom fighter". Some of his dreams are really weird, I had to ignore them. But in some he talks about his hatred for Marathas and in some he talks about how badly he wanted to convert non Muslims. The kind of hate he had for non Muslims was unbearable. While I read this book it felt like Tipu was praising himself.

In another book with the same title by Girish Karnad selectively used 4 dreams out of 37 where he is shown as a freedom fighter and wanted to throw away Britishers out of India and made play on this. Literally white washing the history of Tipu Sultan. Read this book to know the dreams of Tipu which is actually written by him not by someone who twisted according to some agenda. You will be horrified to read his dreams. The original journal is there in the British library, London.

‎سلطان صاحب ! رئیس سلطنت خداداد، امیر ریاست میسور ۔۔

Valiant Sultan’s dreams are characteristic of his valour, honour, spirituality and magnanimity.

A compilation of 38 dreams, filled with symbolism associated with Jewels, fruits, trees, mountains, rivers and animals. Sultan’s dreams feature encounters with Sufi saints, kings, noblemen and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The dreams reflect his struggle with the British colonisers and rebellious Marathas. Most are the battlefield scenes, river crossings, war horses, swords, muskets and rifles, temples and idols.

The last dream is not of Sultan but a saintly figure from Mysore.

A quick read which explains how Sultan Tipu was a very different man from a different era.
