Dreams I wonder the meaning of.
Salaam,
I am really interested in the idea of dream interpretations. I know many of our beloved Prophets (PBUT) have had such dreams. Over the last few weeks I have had some complex dreams, and I am hoping to find some answers.
Firstly, I had a dream. Long story short, I was talking to a priest, and we were debating our respective religions. We were in this room and we heard the trumpet (the trumpet of Qiyamut). When we went outside, we saw the mountains fall. The priest all of a sudden came to the realisation that Islam foretold all this (as I mentioned to him before), and then he knew at that moment the truest of all religions. He turned to me and begged me to help him. I told him to read the Shahadah and he thanked me. Then I woke up. I felt restless when I woke up. What does this dream mean? More to the point, I dreamt it was judgement day and I was restless. Maybe it's because I need to work on myself as a muslim.
The second dream which I really want answers for is this: my male friend had a dream that he killed me in a car accident, then he rang me in the middle of the night to check if it was a dream and I was alive. I found this odd. He is just a friend- I have put physical distance between us as I am pure and all my feelings I want to save for my husband. I feel this person is my soulmate, as he makes me want to better myself as a muslim, and in my heart I feel that he is the one Allah SWT has made for me. To clarify, nothing haraam has been done (although some may disagree depending on what you believe! But Allah knows and Allah's judgement is the only thing I care for). What does the dream mean? And why on earth did he have to ring me to check if I was alive?
Please help. Any help will do. I am not gullible, and I am more interested in what people think and also any islamic passages (especially from the Quran and Hadiths) will help also. Many thanks. I truly do appreciate it.

Then he rang me in the middle of the night to check if it was a dream and I was alive........how long did you guys talk about the dream?
One thing seems to be clear you both like each other.
AsSalaamu Alaikum Sister,
You said
In fact, if I saw such a dream, I'd think of it the same way you thought of it. It might be a warning from Allah to you to stop doing anything Allah has forbidden. For example, you are in a relationship (friendship) with the other Brother, and both of you have good intention (MashaAllah), but if you do not do the right thing by getting married soon, Shaitaan might lead the to do disrespect your dignity or to kill your pureness (like the way he saw that he killed you in the dream- the accident in the dream could mean zina or any of its categories, and him killing you could also mean he taking away your virginity or something).
At this moment, you have your own reasons why you think, your friendship with the brother can't lead you to haram, just as the priest in your dream was strong in his belief initially, and then he all of a sudden he came to the realization that Islam foretold all that.
Do you want to wait for the haram or zina to occur (like the way you heard the trumpet of Qiyamat) before you come to realization that Islam has foretold all this, and said "...Do not come near adultery ("a male friend" is "near"). It is immoral, and an evil way."? (Quran 17: 32)
My Sister, the fact that the brother is a good Muslim brother and assist you in your faith, does not mean he can't be deceived by Shaitaan gradually till he becomes weak and then fall into a major sin. We should always shut all our doors including our windows, so that Shaitaan can't find any least way to take away our precious things.
For example, when you lock your door and sleep while your window is opened, a thief could come and steal the little things his hand could touch through the window gradually, and then the one day he could try to enter your room through the window, and then open the main door, and then take away the most precious and biggest thing in your room, and walk away with it through your own door.
People can make mistakes and loss their chastity and still live, but with no life. Do not wait for this to happen to you, Sister.
So my Sister, if you really feel in your heart that the brother is the one Allah (swt) made for you, then discuss the matter of marriage right away with him, and then plan on getting married soon (while you pray Istikhara and seek guidance from Allah).
If both of you are not ready for marriage, then you should let go of one another now, and follow the guidance of Allah, that you may attain piety.
"These are the bounds set by Allah. Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, He will admit him into Gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abide therein forever. That is the great attainment." (Quran 4: 13)
“…These are the limits of Allah, so do not come near them. Allah thus clarifies His revelations to the people, that they may attain piety.” (Quran 2: 187)
"This is a proclamation for mankind, that they may be warned thereby, and know that He is One Allah, and that people of understanding may remember." (Quran 14: 52)
"Among us are those who are submitting, and among us are the compromisers. As for those who have submitted—it is they who pursue rectitude." (Quran 72: 14)
Allah (swt) knows best.
This hadith could be useful too, inshaAllah.
Abu Qatada (may Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) as saying:
"A good vision is from Allah and a bad dream (hulm) is from the shaitan; so if one of you sees anything (in a dream) that he dislikes, he should spit on his left side thrice and seek refuge with Allah from its evil, and then it will never harm him." (Muslim)
Well answered! Masha'Allaah!
