Do o Muqaddimah de Ibn Khalud :
In the Ghayah and other books by practitioners of magic, reference is made to words that should be mentioned on falling asleep so as to cause the dream vision to be about the things one desires. These words are called by (the magicians) "dream words" (al-halumah). In the Ghayah, Maslamah mentioned a dream word that he called "the dream word of the perfect nature." It consists of saying, upon falling asleep and after obtaining freedom of the inner senses and finding one's way clear (for supernatural perception), the following non-Arabic words: tamaghis ba'dan yaswadda waghads nawfana ghadis. The person should then mention what he wants, and the thing he asks for will be shown to him in his sleep.

These magical words seem to be Aramaic and may have sounded something like this: Tmaggesh b'eddan swadh (?) waghdhash nawmtha ghadhesh, "You say your incantations at the time of conversation (?), and the accident of sleep happens."
