When dreams come true

Before receiving the first revelation, the prophet pbuh used to see dreams and the next day he would see the dream come to life, subhanallah.

This happened for six months.

^ yeh the dreams of prophets aren't ordinary dreams. Either revelations or insight into things that will happen.

also.. hence why true dreams is the remaining portion of prophecy in this Ummah. Also as the end of time draws nearer, dreams are more likley to become true.

I've read hadeeth that only list the first two, now that doesn't necesairly mean that those first two are the exclusive cause of dreams, but nonetheless I'm not sure the Islamic view on dreams include the psychological self-reflection. Allah subhana wa ta'ala knows and I do not.
Oh btw, I had 'm to, s it's not exclusive to woman.
Or at least I think I have. The problem is I always start to doubt myself afterwards, thinking: nah there might be a different explenation
For example, one theory about déja-vu is that it is an echo effect of the subconscious interpreting an event faster then the consciousness does. Although I do in general believe that I've had dreams come true, in all honesty I cannot exclude the possibility of this echo-effect.

^The hadith mentions all three:

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Dreams are of three types: a dream from Allaah, a dream which causes distress and which comes from the Shaytaan, and a dream which comes from what a person thinks about when he is awake, and he sees it when he is asleep.” (al-Bukhaari, 6499; Muslim, 4200)

DREAMS By Shaad Ahmed

Dreams are broken into three parts according to the Sunnah:

Ru'yaa - good visions (dreams)
Hulum - bad dreams
Dreams from one's self
Abu Hurayrah narrated Muhammad (S) said, "There are three types of dreams: a righteous dream which is glad tidings from Allah, the dream which causes sadness is from Shaitan, and a dream from the ramblings of the mind. (Sahih Muslim)

True/Good Dreams

We can see true dreams are from Allah Ta'aala as Muhammad (S) said, "True dreams are from Allah, and bad dreams are from Shaitan." (Sahih Al-Bukhari)

True believers are more likely to happen to those who are truthful in their lives as Muhammad (S) said, "Those of you with the truest dreams will be those who are most truthful in speech" (Sahih Muslim)

Good dreams are also from Allah Ta'aala. Prophet Muhammad (S) said, "If anyone of you has a dream that he likes then it is from Allah. He should thank Allah for it and narrate it to others." (Sahih Al-Bukhari) Good deeds consist of people doing Halaal (lawful) acts.

One should share their dreams with those they like as Muhammad (S) said, "If one sees a good dream, let him expect good, and not tell it except to those he likes." (Muslim) An example of this is Yaqoob (AS) telling his son, Yusuf (AS) concerning his dream about eleven stars and the sun and the moon prostrating to him (scholars have said the eleven stars were his brothers, and the sun and the moon represented his mother and father): "He said, "O my son! Relate not your vision to your brothers lest they arrange a plot against you. Verily! Satan is to man an open enemy." (Surah Yusuf 12:5) We know the half-brothers of Yusuf were jealous of him to begin with so telling them the dream would probably only serve to increase the jealousy.

Muhammad (S) also told us, "Nothing is left of prophethood except glad tidings." Those with him asked, "What are glad tidings?" He (S) replied, "Good dreams." (Sahih Al-Bukhari)

Bad Dreams

As stated above bad dreams are from Shaitan. Muhammad (S) told us what to do upon seeing a bad dream. "So when one of you sees a dream which he does not like, he should spit on his left side three times, seek refuge with Allah from Shaitan thrice, and change the side which he was lying (Sahih Muslim) and in another narration in Muslim, Muhammad (S) told us if we spit three times and seek refuge from Allah then it (the dream) will not harm them." (Sahih Muslim)

Muhammad (S) also told us that if we saw a bad dream to "stand up and offer prayer." (Sahih Muslim)

Bad Dreams Should Not Be Disclosed

Muhammad (S) said, ...If he has a dream that he dislikes, then it is from Shaitan. He should seek refuge with Allah from its evil, and he SHOULD NOT MENTION IT TO ANYBODY, then it will not harm him." (Sahih Al-Bukhari) If one does tell somebody about the bad dream then there could be the chance that some harm will come out of it.

Dreams from One's Self

These dreams come from one's thoughts and are neither from Allah or Shaitan.

Lying About Dreams

Prophet Muhammad (S) said, "Indeed the worst of lies is that of a person who falsely claims to have dream." (Sahih Al-Bukhari) also 'Whoever claims to have dream which he did not have, will be ordered to tie two barley grains together, which he will never be able to do; and if somebody eavesdrop on some people's conversation which they didn't want him to hear or they tried to keep away from him, then molten lead will be poured into his ears on the Day of Resurrection; and whosoever makes a picture (of a being with a soul) will be punished on the Day of Resurrection and (will) be ordered to put a soul in it, which he will not be able to do." (Sahih Al-Bukhari)

This is only a short article, but it is hoped this is beneficial to all that reads it, and it will erase some misconceptions people have about dreams. It is also hoped this will stop some practices people do upon seeing good or bad dreams which are not found in the Qur'an or Sunnah.

Anything correct is from Allah Ta'aala and anything incorrect is from myself.

So when sum1 has a deja vou, basically when you are all awake and moving and you experince a tingle/feeling deep inside that this has defnstley happened before lyk you have been here before thats is called deja vou, ryt?

but why does that happen?

I have deja vou sum tyms- evry now and agin, but msum tyms it is when its a bad ting and sum tyms when its good.

But why?

In Poland, in folk tradition, it is said that such dreams are sign from God that He is with you
so smile...you're not alone

I agree with the opinion of Deja Vu.Otherwise dreams are interpretable.
As far as Quranic concept is concerned :The Holy Quran has very clear concept.

وَمَا كَانَ اللّهُ لِيُطْلِعَكُمْ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ وَلَكِنَّ اللّهَ يَجْتَبِي مِن رُّسُلِهِ مَن يَشَاءَ﴿3:179﴾
Allah is not going to disclose to you what is hidden in the realm beyond the reach of perception, but He chooses from among His Messengers whom He wills (to intimate such knowledge).


عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ فَلَا يُظْهِرُ عَلَى غَيْبِهِ أَحَدًا﴿72:26﴾ (72:26) He alone is the Knower of the unseen: He does not reveal His secrets to anyone
إِلَّا مَنِ ارْتَضَى مِن رَّسُولٍ فَإِنَّهُ يَسْلُكُ مِن بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ رَصَدًا﴿72:27﴾
(72:27) except to the Messenger whom He may choose (for the purpose) Then He appoints before him and behind him guards

Only Prophets' dreams are true dreams (as such) because that is a form of Revelation.
Best of luck

I myself have had dreams since childhood, good or bad, whether I tell or not, they happen exactly as I dream them...

Now I have just read this, and have come across it before
When the Day of Resurrection approaches, the dreams of a believer will hardly fail to come true, and a dream of a believer is one of forty-six parts of prophetism, and whatever belongs to prothetism can never be false."


I'd very much like to know what the other 45 parts of prophethood is?
I realize for instance the ability to perform miracles or fortell the future, but what is the rest? does anyone know pls?

thank you in advance

I know that I had dreams... but i cant recall any...

Most of my sleeps are dreamless...as I just have to close my eyes and relax...maybe because I have a pair of very sensitive ears...

In my university years, sometimes my friends talked to me at 3.00 am while I was sleeping becoz they knew I could listen and speak to them while sleeping...

and I think a lot when sleeping...
