Dreams

Seraphim —

Dreams are broken into three parts according to the Sunnah:

Ru'yaa - good visions (dreams)

Hulum - bad dreams

Dreams from one's self

Abu Hurayrah narrated Muhammad (S) said, "There are three types of dreams: a righteous dream which is glad tidings from Allah, the dream which causes sadness is from Shaitan, and a dream from the ramblings of the mind."

The prophet (pbuh) also said we should disclose good and true dreams to the people we like, however advised against disclosing bad dreams to anyone.

We know dreams occur during the REM (rapid eye movement) part of sleep. If however you were to awake during this REM stage you are more likely to remember your dreams.
It is believed that we dream to exercise the synapses, or pathways, between brain cells, and that dreaming takes over where the active and awake brain leaves off.

Do our dreams open a doorway to our very souls and subconscious minds?

Are we recieving messages from Allah (swt)?

Or are they the ramblings of a littered mind?

u dont necessarily have to get a dream as a result of istikhara. u could just 'feel right' about the decision. its a du'a asking Allah to guide you to do what is right, its putting ur trust in Allah and knowing that what u chose as a result of istikhara will be for the best.

how do i know that what i feel is "right" is right? i cant always tell whether istikhara works for me... how can u tell?

I think that, sabr, persistant dua's and avoiding haraam can "guide" a person into making right decisions in life.

I've made istakhara's regarding further education and jobs in the past..I never "feel" whats right...I sort of just go with the flow.

If I've made dua for something and its not meant to be, doors get closed in my face, so I take that as a "No"...if that makes sense :?

I know someone who done an istikhara regarding a rishta and she wasnt sure what to make of the "signs" so she consulted a scholar and he told her she was getin emotional as she had made her mind up already regarding rishta so she was seeing what she wanted to see, if that makes sense.

I dont think you guys cought on to what Anatole was saying.

Its not talking about the type of dreams you have when asleep but the dreams to have while your awake... dreams of wanting such a such a thing... dreams of being whatever.

In order for them to come true its not enough to simply dream but to also act to make your dreams come true.
