Do any of these dreams predict the future?

I keep having dreams about military coups in Turkey, which make me happy. I remember the dream as being a military coup that overthrew President Erdogan of Turkey, either after i wake up or i realize during the dream. there are frequent references to the 1960 turkish military coup in my head, such as the radio address by Colonel Alparslan Turkes, and the nature of the coup (only 39 soldiers, as well as the kidnapping of the leader at night, the leaders being taken away by helicopter, and being executed by hanging or shooting.)
I particularly remember two dreams: one, where I am a soldier participating in the coup, and I am running, and it is daytime and i fear that civilians will revolt and there will be loss of civilian life, and then i get the news from my commander that erdogan has been killed, and i am elated. i also remember a stranger one, where I am a Turkish soldier, it is implied I took part in the coup after i wake up, i am standing at a military base outside, I am holding a machine gun, and I feel accomplished, while remembering the 1960 coup. I woke up and felt as if it actually happened in both dreams, to the point that even while awake, for a few moments i felt like waking up my mother and telling her the good news.


I also saw a more symbolic dream, where I played as a character from a preteen sitcom called "ned's declassified school survival guide", and yet am still Turkish, and remember my time spent on set with the girl who played as his female friend in his trio. I had lost contact with her, but tried to rekindle our friendship, potentially for marriage. I looked up her social media, and changed my social media account to have the same name as the character, and found a post written by the girl, (who is also turkish, and atleast formerly gulenist), where she asks a male friend of mine from when i was a kid, "are you fetocu?" (FETO is a derogatory slur/official name for the gulen movement, which stands for "fethullahist terrorist organization" after the founder, Muhammed Fethullah Gulen) and i started to doubt if she was still part of the jamaat. after much research online, i finally regained contact, and many of the memories from when i lived in another state started to come back, including my older female teacher who was a young adult/teenager, and many other vibes of the place i received sunday school instruction. During the dream, i felt an urgency to wake up, and in a subsequent dream or at least a later phase of the dream, i dreamt that we had a pet snake, and a pet giant bug, and it was from the old sitcom character which i had shed off (it was my past self, now i was the person i am in real life) and was reminded of my friend from high school, who had a pet lizard and pet snake and fed them bugs.and i grew uncomfortable. her snake was out in the open, and i could see her giant bug crawling. i asked her if the bug flies, to which i got no reply. finally, the bug started crawling, i panicked, and it disappeared, i got scared and woke up. i can feel much of the symbolism in the dream, such as the pet's representing a deep dark secret in the girl who i wish to marry from time to time who was also my childhood crush who i went to sunday school with, the nostalgia of the place and memories and tv shows, and me being unsure of what lied ahead, among other things which are hard to explain (either that or it's past midnight, and im too tired to write). are these dreams from allah, and was the part about me getting scared of the bug from shaytaan? (i read on the site that dreams which make you afraid are from shaytaan). @Hamza Asadullah

My brother dreams are of 3:

1. From Allah
2. From Shaythan
3. Psychological;Our vivid imagination for example of things that we think about sometimes, fantasies etc. Are normally dreams with no meaning.

Abu Salamah (Ra) said: I would see dreams because of which I would tremble. However, I would not cover myself (even though I would be cold). Until I met Abu Qatadah and mentioned my predicament to him. He said, “I heard Rasulullah sallaAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam saying ‘Good Dreams are from Allah, and bad dreams are from Shaitan. If any of you sees a bad dream then he should lightly spit towards his left and seek protection from its evil. Then it shall never harm him” (Sahih Muslim)

None of us are able to interpret dreams here but trust you to dream about Gulen, Erdogan and a girl you fantasize about all in one dream.

Pray Allah to help you

My brother please stop worrying as there is nothing to worry about. These dreams seem to stem from many of the things you think about a lot like fantasising about girls/numerology/astrology/wanting to find predictions on your future/politics relating to Erdogan and Gulen. So there is nothing to worry about inshaAllah. Just do the Sunnah practices from the following thread before going to sleep:
