Dream After Istakhara Prayer
I did ishtakhara few days back for my marriage and on 3rd day I saw a white cloth in my dream. My mother also did istakhara for me and she also saw a white chadar in her dream. At the same time my mother also had asked a pious woman living in our neighbours to do istakhara for me. She did istakhara for three days and she said tha she did not see any thing positive in her dream, instead she saw peices of uncooked meat. She said that this proposal is not good for me. Now I am confused . Should I rely on her dream or on what I saw? Kindly guide me.

In my opinion people see positive and negative depending on their own personality.

Istikhara isn't based on dream interpretation, and isn't something that should be used as a fortune-telling device. Please read our articles on istikhara.

Your mum and this "pious" women can't do istikhara for you. You can only pray istikhara for yourself. And as sister midnightmoon already mentioned, istikhara is not about dream intepretation.
I disagree. Your mom can do istekhara for you because she will also be involved in the marriage, but during the dua she will have to say if so and so would be good for me as a son/daughter-in-law etc
