Dream meanings and Moon cycles

(WIP)
Supposedly, in a book by Albertus Magnus there can be found descriptions of every day of the Moon cycle. However, I cannot find this book or part of that book, let alone find it in English. What I have is a quote of a Polish translation in another Polish book. There is nothing regarding that in the bibliography. Regardless of the source of this list of days, I find it very interesting, albeit too extreme to seem credible.
More context
Again, this information might be false. I had trouble fact-checking it (Although, to be fair I didn't spend much time on it). However, I do like the author who I got it from. I might write a review of that specific book by him
someday.
The days' descriptions focus mainly on the survivability of the sicknesses caught; on the credibility of dreams; and information about children born - all on those days. Albertus Magnus is a Christian saint, so it's no wonder that the texts are based on the history of the people of the Bible.
I'm not going to quote anything word for word (especially since I don't know anything about copyright laws).
Counting the days
The 1st day of the cycle in this system is the first day of the New Moon phase. If a calendar month has less than 30 days, we stop counting when it ends, and start again on the next New Moon.
