Need clarification about a Dream I once had…
It's been some time since I had this dream. And I need some help understanding more about it. My mind keeps wandering back to it time after time. So I would appreciate any and all help.
I am not sure, If i should call it a dream. Because it's unlike any dream I have ever had. The thing is, it felt so real, and the way that I was shaking and scared when I got up. That has never happened to me before. And it keeps popping back into my mind again and again. That I am not able to focus on other things. Although normally people tend to forget the dreams they have soon after having them. But it's been months and I would like to know what its about. Maybe I am missing something.
Let me start from the beginning.
I have been praying 5 times a day for a very long time now. And what happened was, I slept late at night knowing I was going to miss my Fajar prayers. I did it the first night. ( Normally i wake up 5 or 10 minutes before my alarm for Fajar goes off. I am already doing Wudu, when I start to hear the alarm beeping in my room. ) Now I did the same thing again the second and third night. I stayed up very late knowing I would miss my Fajr prayers. And i stayed awake probably because of something stupid some novel or something. I had intentions to get up and pray, but i shut my alarm as i had a bad headache and went back to sleep and did no pray Fajr consecutively for two days.
What happened was on the third night. 5 or 10 minutes exactly before the Fajr Azaan.
I had a dream. In the dream I see myself from another persons point of view. I see myself in my room, sleeping on the bed. With yellow dim lights around. That I can't see everything clearly, but can enough to tell whats going on. I see the figure of an older aged man ( i know he is a man, because i am looking from his eyes, And I see his arm extend towards me.) He is wearing something like a very thin clothe white in color. I can notice his clothe is very thin and whitish. and it's something like a monks hooded robe, he has a hood over his head. to the best of my understanding. i can only see his right hand and that also not clearly for some reason. I can tell somehow from the thin white clothe that it's special.
There was nothing at all scary about him. And there was absolutely nothing scary about the whole situation. I don't think or feel that he meant to hurt me or anything like that. But I felt so scared even in my sleep.
Now the position in which the man is standing is important.
For some reason, I am asleep. And the effect that dream is having on me is so fiercely real. What I am feeling is more real than what i normally feel when i am awake. I am completely aware of everything around me. It's like all my senses are heightened to a new high. I can physically feel my heart beating very loudly while i am asleep. As soon as his hand gets closer, that he will touch me. The next spilt second I spring up from my bed in a flash real fast, I am so scared out of my wits. My room is completely dark. So i fumble the light switch not even fully awake. But my heart is pumping so loudly and so hard, that I have never felt that ever before. So I hit a light switch in the dark. I turn on my yellow nightlight, and not the normal white lights of my room. (this all takes less than a second or two) And i am standing there. Looking towards my bed. In the same position that man was standing there. At the exact spot where he was standing. I have the exact same point of view. and my hand is extended in the air the same as his was. i stay in that position for the next few seconds. looking at my right hand, and looking at my bed, cause the frame picture i am looking at with my eyes is the exact same view that man had of me that I saw in my dream. And also i don't turn on my white led lights, but my yellow night light. and its the exact same thing I just saw in my dream. Few seconds pass, and I hear the Fajr Azan. And i have a heart condition. So i sit on the other side of the bed, it was cold so i had the blanket wrapped around me. And i was so scared and I was so tired. And i couldn't understand anything.
i am trying to shake this feeling off, that I have. And I am having great difficultly shaking it off.
normally I have had some terrible nightmares before. And I wake up scared, I recite some Surah's I say Tooba astagfirullah. I read the 4 Surah's of Qul. And i very peacefully go back to sleep. because i know it was a nightmare and none of it is real. I recite the kalima and go back to sleep. knowing i have recited that I am perfectly safe. this time, I just can't shake the feeling off for a very long time. And i keep reciting the surah's and the Kalima and saying tooba astagfirullah. I am so scared, that I can't even think about going back to sleep. I am convince 100% there was someone in my room. But that's not possible since i lock the door from the inside. I was so sure that there was someone there.
I have no reason to be so scared but i was.
And What i saw in the dream, is what I saw when the lights flickered on. The same exact point of view and everything.
What am I missing? What was it supposed to mean? I know i am missing something from all this. I know i should not have missed my fajr prayers. I like the fajr time more than any other time.
Was it just a random dream? it felt something more, it felt something important. i feel like my mind is stuck, I am having a handicapped moment, that I can't understand it. it's right there, but i don't understand the meaning or it's significance?
This has been on my mind for a very long time. I appreciate all the help. Thanks in advance for your patience, time and energy.

As soon as his hand gets closer, that he will touch me. The next spilt second I spring up from my bed in a flash real fast, I am so scared out of my wits. My room is completely dark.

where was the man when you found yourself standing in his position........were you trying to touch him also. i get a feeling you are a very emotional girl. Old man may be from an old memory where you did not feel threatened and he tried to touch you.
Salam .Welcome to the world of shaitan sneaky and stealthy.Master of trickery.He will approach you in anyway and i mean anyway in many forms so dont think you are pious.Pious people are at another level.The answers are easy in Islam.It is either yes or no .First of all why are you going bed late.Are you watching movies are you on social media.Are you talking with opposite sex?????So many questions.The point is are you keeping away from haram especially food.Do you read Quran before you go bed especially the masnoon duas.Are you in Wudu...My frie nd if these evils are in your life then what do you expect!!!!And dont get into those dream inter....just be a true believer and practice consistently with sincerity
Sister,
Well I think it was a dream from the shaiytaan. Good dreams comes from Allah and bad dreams comes from shaiytaan. People often feel the heart beat pumping out loud as shaiytaan triggers our worst fear.
Don't worry . Make wudhu before going to bed. Recite Ayatul kursiy 3 times after isha and when you go to bed. Blow on yourself.
Sister he made you frightened and you think it was a reality.
Spit drily on your left shoulder 3 times and say
" Aauzu billahi min sharre shaitane washsharreha" three times.
Your bad dream's effect will get over InshAllah.
Thanks
Shaan
Sister,
I am sorry to say that I have not red anything above but the header.
As per the islamic sharee'a one should not share his/her dreams with people. Although, it can be shared with the scholars whom Allah has given the knowledge of explaining the dreams. Dream is a huge world of knowledge where you need to learn many things. All the dreams will not reflect future happenings but only few dreams in some prescribed times will reflect such. There are even signs that scholars expounded to call a dream predictable one. Hence, it is not fair to ask such question with common people. I suggest consult some best scholar from your place and find the solution for your problem.
Anyhow I suggest few things to which Prophet (s.a) practised before going to bed which can given you good sleep:
1.Sura Iklas - 3 , Sura Falak -1, Sura Naas-1 then blow to hand and appply your hands across the whole body.
2.Ayathul Kursiyy - 3
3.Subhanallah - 33, Alhamdulillah-33, Allahu Akbar-34
May Allah protect us and make us along with successive people.
I conclude with request for Dua.
Heard calling allahu akbar for 5 days
Please answer
Asalamualaykum.
Every dream that causes terror in hearts are from the Shaitan. Any good dream you see is from Allah Subhanahuwata'aalah. Now bad dreams should not be shared As the Prophet of Allah mentioned:
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Dreams are of three types: glad tidings from Allaah, what is on a person’s mind, and frightening dreams from the Shaytaan. If any of you sees a dream that he likes, let him tell others of it if he wishes, but if he sees something that he dislikes, he should not tell anyone about it, and he should get up and pray.”
(Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maajah, 3154)
And Allah knows best why we must not share such dreams. When you see such dream get up and pray. Read Ayahtul Kursi and Surah An Nas and Al Falaq continually until you fall asleep. If you still find difficulty in sleeping you can put on Surah Al Baqarah and fall asleep while listening it. The shaitan likes to cause dread in the hearts and confusion. Whatever happens, remember you are stronger than the shaitan. Shaitan runs upon hearing the Quran.
1 – It was narrated that Abu Qutaadah said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Good dreams come from Allaah and bad dreams come from the Shaytaan. If anyone sees a bad dream that scares him, let him spit dryly to his left and seek refuge with Allaah from its evil, then it will not harm him.”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3292)
"It was narrated from ‘Awf ibn Maalik that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Dreams are of three types: some are terrifying things from the Shaytaan, aimed at causing grief to the son of Adam; some are things that a person is concerned with when he is awake, so he sees them in his dreams; and some are a part of the forty-six parts of Prophecy.”
(Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maajah, 3155)
And Allah Knows Best.
