Many red things for raktapitta, yellow for pandu, white for kapha and reddish for vata patients, and befriending a monkey for a wasting patient; dreams that follow one's nature, habit or repeated thoughts are fruitless.

Detailed answer

Verse 35 says such patients surely die when they see these dreams. Verse 36 adds that evil, demon-like dreams bring many diseases to a healthy person and death to a patient, while verse 37 calls dreams of the five supreme beings, one's guru, a king, Jina temples, friends, crossing water or riding a fine horse or elephant auspicious.
