That it has three primary significations; firstly to leave hastiness, rashness, impetuosity; something becoming punctures, pierced, perforated or ignited; and lastly seeing something in the dreams.
Another Classical Lexicon states:
حلم (لسان العرب)
الحُلْمُ والحُلُم: الرُّؤْيا، والجمع أَحْلام
والحُلْمُ الاحتلام أيضاً، يجمع على الأحْلامِ
والحِلْمُ، بالكسر: الأَناةُ والعقل، وجمعه أَحْلام وحُلُومٌ.
That it signifies: dream; and puberty - experiencing wet dream; and with genitive middle radical it signifies forbearance, endurance and gentleness.
Lane's Lexicon: to have wet dream, have a vision, attain to puberty, forbearing, to gain wisdom, patient, prudent, imperturbable; The same term, al-hilm, is used for both puberty and wet dreams, marking wet dreams an indication of puberty.
