Reality of Dreams & Sunnah Etiquettes in Islam
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: "Dreams are of three types: a good dream which is glad tidings from Allah, a dream from one's own thoughts (Hadith-an-Nafs), and a distressing dream caused by Shaitan to grieve the believer." (Sahih Muslim)
True Dream / Glad Tidings from Allah
Glad tidings from Allah. Express gratitude (say Alhamdulillah) and only share with a trustworthy, wise person.
Nightmare from Shaitan (Whispers)
Frightening whispers from Shaitan. Spit lightly to the left 3 times, seek refuge in Allah, change sleeping side, and never disclose it.
Psychological Subconscious Reflections
Reflections of daily routine, subconscious stress, and daydreams. It has no deep spiritual prophecy.
