Dreams

[Karachi]

first of all what are dreams?

and tell us about the most interesting dreams you have had

[emkhan]

Also the meaning of the dreams. The real one and not the fake one

[Karachi]

^ I have actually never understood the meanings of some of the interesting dreams I have had. Most of my interesting dreams usually revolve around our old house in saudi arabia, back some 15-20 years ago.

That house was interesting since it was located outside the city in the desert wilderness, I had many interesting experiences there, perhaps that is the reasons for my dreams of that place

[Breshna]

The subject of "dreams and nightmares" can be frightening, but there...should be no fear if one believes in the power...of Allah Almighty, is aware that his or her soul goes to Allah Almighty at the time of...sleep.





Some may claim that they do not...dream.This is not true, only they cannot recall what they have...dreamt.



Scientists do tell us that everyone does...dream, but some dreams are so vivid that they can be remembered for....a long time afterward.



In the case of...nightmares. Those who have angered Allah Almighty, or do not believe in Him, or do not remember Him, may find the prospect of death, and the experience of sleep, to be...unpleasant.



The time of sleep is similar to life in the...grave.


There can be torture or delight in the grave," and the same is true of sleep.



Evildoers are tormented by snakes and...scorpions in their....graves.


If one were to dig up a grave, only rotted bones...flesh might be...discovered, and no snakes—this is obvious, since...the punishment is spiritual.


In the same way, if we were to draw near to a person suffering...the anguish of a nightmare, we would only see his or her...body, or the tossing...movements of the body.



It would not be possible to "see" the nightmare, since...the nightmare is spiritual...and the unseen world we...cannot see.


Hence, God, the Angels, the Jinn, our souls and so on are...all of the spiritual...World and, therefore....invisible.


It is very true that sometimes...dreams repeated...are of events in material life.



(These are the "suggestions of own mind" dreams, mentioned on page 21.) However,



Dreams can seem to be confused and...illogical.



However, this is not so...they do have



meanings, and they can be...interpreted.


Now with (Joseph)p.b.u.h there came
Into the prison two young men
Said one of them: "I see
Myself (in a dream)
Pressing wine." Said the other:
"I see myself (in a dream)
Carrying bread on my head,
and birds eating thereof."
"Tell us" (they said) "the truth
And meaning thereof: for we
See thou art one
That doth good (to all)"

He said: "Before any food
Comes (in due course)
To feed either of you,
I will surely reveal
To you the truth
And meaning of this
Ere it come to pass:
That is part of the (Duty)
Which my Lord hath taught me.
I have (I assure you)
Abandoned the ways
Of a people that believe not
In Allah and that (even)
Deny the Hereafter

"And I follow the ways
of my fathers,—Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob; and never
Could we attribute any partners
Whatever to Allah: that (comes)
Of the grace of Allah to us
And to mankind: yet
Most men are not grateful

"O my two companions
Of the prison! (I ask you):
Are many lords differing
Among themselves better,
Or the One Allah,
Supreme and Irresistible?

"If not Him, ye worship nothing
But names which ye have named—
Ye and your fathers,—
For which Allah hath sent you
No authority: the Command
Is for none but Allah: He
Hath commanded that ye worship
None but Him: that is
The right religion, but
Most men understand not.

"O my two companions Of the prison!
As to one Of you, he will pour out
The wine for his lord to drink:
As for the other, he will
Hang from the cross, and the birds
will eat from off his head,
(So) hath been decreed
That matter whereof
Ye twain do enquire..."
(XII, 36-46)
The King (of Egypt) said:
"I do see (In a vision)
Seven fat kine, whom seven
Lean ones devour,—and seven
Green ears of corn, and seven (others)
Withered. O ye chiefs!
Expound to me my vision
If it be that ye can
Interpret visions"

The said: "A confused medley
of dreams: and we are not
Skilled in the interpretation
Of dreams"

But the man who had been
Released, one of the two
(Who had been in prison)
And who now bethought him
After (so long a space of time),
Said: "I will tell you
The truth of its interpretation:
Send ye me (therefore)"

"O Joseph!" (he said),
"O man of truth! Expound
To us (the dream)
Of seven fat kine
Whom seven lean ones
Devour, and of seven
Green ears of corn
And (seven) others withered:
That I may return
To the people, and that
They may understand"

(Joseph) said: "For seven years
Shall ye diligently sow
As is your wont:
And the harvests that ye reap,
Ye shall leave them in the ear, -
Except a little, of which
Ye shall eat

"Then will come
After that (period)
Seven dreadful (years),
Which will devour
What ye shall have laid by
In advance for them,—
(All) except a little
Which ye shall have
(Specially) guarded

"Then will come
After that (period) a year
In which the people will have
Abundant water, and in which
They will press (wine and oil)."
(XII, 43-49)

(Joseph said)

"O My Lord! Thou hast
Indeed bestowed on me
Some power, and taught me
Something of the interpretation
Of dreams and events,—O Thou
Creator of the heavens
And the earth! Thou art
My protector in this world
And in the Hereafter;
Take thou my soul (at death)
As one submitting to Thy Will
(As a Muslim), and unite me
With the righteous."
(XII, 1O1)

Behold, Joseph said
To his father: "O my father!
I did see eleven stars
And the sun and the moon:
I saw them prostrate themselves
To me!"

Said (the father):
"My (dear) little son!
Relate not thy vision
To thy brothers, lest they
Concoct a plot against thee:
For Satan is to man
An avowed enemy!

"Thus will the Lord
Choose thee and teach thee
The interpretation of stories (and events)
And perfect His favor
To thee and to the posterity
Of Jacob—even as He
perfected it to thy Fathers
Abraham and Isaac aforetime!
For Allah is full of Knowledge
And Wisdom"
(XII, 4-6)

(Abraham said):
"O My Lord! grant me
(A righteous son)!"

So we gave him
The good news
Of a boy ready
To suffer and forbear:

Then, when (the son)
Reached (the age of)
(Serious) work with him,
He said: "O my son!
I see in vision!*
That I offer thee in sacrifice:
Now see what is
Thy view!" (The son) said:
"O my father! Do
As thou art commanded:
Thou wilt find me,
If Allah so wills, one
Practicing patience and constancy!"
So when they had both
submitted their wills (to Allah)
And he had laid him
Prostrate on his forehead
(For sacrifice)

We called out to him,
"O Abraham!
Thou hast already fulfilled
The vision!"—thus indeed
Do we reward
Those who do right,

For this was obviously
A trial—

And we ransomed him
With a momentous sacrifice

And we left (this blessing)
For him among generations
(To come) in later times:

"Peace and salutation
To Abraham!"

Thus indeed do we reward
Those who do right,
For he was one
Of our believing servants.

And we gave him
The good news
Of Isaac—a prophet,—
One of the righteous.
We blessed him and Isaac:
But of their progeny
Are (some) that do right,
And (some) that obviously
Do wrong, to their own souls.
(XXXVII, 1OO-113)

*Vision = dream in which was contained a message from Allah Almighty.
Since only one to whom Allah Almighty...has given the power can...interpret dreams correctly.



To the average person...dreams seem nonsensical...to a certain extent.



Since he or she does not, in fact, possess the...mental capability to...perceive or to unravel their...meaning.



Dreams are, then, messages in a code superior to...that with which the brain can....cope in certain cases.



However, other dreams may be...very simple and...true.



There are many traditions regarding...Hadith dreams.


The Holy Prophet Muhammed p.b.u.h as saying: "The good visions are from Allah s.w.t and the evil...dreams are from Satan.


If one sees a dream...which one does not like, one should spit...on one’s left side and seek the refuge of Allah...from Satan.



It will not do any harm, and one should...not disclose it to anyone.



If one sees a good vision one should feel...pleased but should not...disclose it to anyone but whom one...loves."

first of all what are dreams?

and tell us about the most interesting dreams you have had

I remember it was 1996 or 97 once my elder brother elder than me told me his dream.
He saw prophet Muhammad be upon him in his dream standing in front of a lashkar in Afghanistan. I like such dreams.

[Laila]

Have any of you had a dream of someone close to you, who has already passed away? Numerous times all throughout these years, i keep on seeing my grandmother. And i can see every detail of her and even hear her voice clearly. It seems so surreal. But then i wake up shaking with chills

[Pakhtunzai]

People have three types of dreams, the first is where they think about certain things all the time and they tend to come into the dreams. Then the second one is where you get the bad ones from shaytan and finally are the ones from Allah.

Maybe you miss her a lot and think about her?

As for your question, I haven't had any dreams about who have passed away.

[Afghanistan2010]

May Allah bless you brother for your wise words,verily it is as brother Pakhtunzai said.

[Afghanistan2010]

Do you know the dreams of Usama Ibn Laden

he died in 2003. Five years later, I wrote him a letter. Three months after that, I stopped seeing him.
