can we be rewarded for what we do in dreams. eg making dhikr?

Most likely not, seeing as you are not consciously doing these things.

You can be rewarded for the things you do in preparation for sleep though, e.g. sleeping with wudhu, sleeping in the sunnah manner, reciting the dua for sleep.
 
I don't agree that you're not always conscious in dreams, though I do agree that for most people, most of the time you're not. When you go into a lucid state you become perfectly aware that you're dreaming and that everything around you is just part of your dream, and aware that in reality you're actually lying in your bed asleep even though it doesn't look or feel like it. You become conscious and everything you do is a conscious action, unless you fall back "asleep" (or in essence lose lucidity).

Some people never lucid dream, some rarely do, some do frequently. I do rarely and when I do I always try to bend the laws of physics in the dream and manipulate the surroundings. Sometimes the surprise from something unexpected happening causes me to forget it's all just a dream and thus break lucidity.
 
Does anybody know if this is an islamic thing or if it's just a personal choice?

Asalaam O Alaikum...

Seeing good dreams like those which come from God, because Prophet (saw) said There are 3 main type of dreams which a person sees, ones which are good dreams they come from God, ones which are bad come from Satan and others which comes from ourselves i.e are reflection of our thoughts and experiences which we have during day.

About the Good dreams i.e specially those coming from God, it is in Hadith of Prophet (saw) that they should be only told to the ones who are very close to you.


Narrated Abu Salama

I used to see a dream which would make me sick till I heard Abu Qatada saying: “I too, used to see a dream which would make me sick till I heard the Prophet saying: A good dream is from Allah, so if anyone of you saw a dream which he liked, he should not tell it to anybody except to the one whom he loves, and if he saw a dream which he disliked, then he should seek refuge with Allah from its evil and from the evil of Satan, and spit three times (on his left) and should not tell it to anybody, then it will not harm him.”

(Bukhari)

And in Quran in Surah Yusuf Prophet Yusuf (a.s) was warned by Yaqoob (a.s) i.e His father to not to relate the dreams to any one of his brothers, for they were jealous of him. And so if he would relate his dreams then it could be that the jealousy of his brothers could have increased and would have led to him being hurt in even a greater manner than what they did to him. So Quran gives us guidance to specially not to tell those dreams which one has seen, which gives one news of a great future like Yusuf (a.s) dream.


(12:04) LO! Thus spoke Joseph unto his father "O my father! Behold, i saw (in a dream) eleven stars, as well as the sun and the moon: i saw them prostrate themselves before me!"

(12:05) (Jacob) replied "O my dear son! Do not relate to your brothers lest (out of envy) they devise an evil scheme against you; verily, Satan is man's open foe!


We should relate it to only the one who is very close to us, to whom we are emotionally attached, like in Prophet Yusuf's case where he was very close to his father and he related it to him 1st of all.
 
I have seen dream that I have been punishing to jail to 10 years. I remember it as good dream as just I entered to jail they told me I can get the Bible as only book I can read in my cell.

Then I said in dream: "No. I am muslim. I want Quran only."

Subhaan`Allaah . . . .

SubHAn Allah!! Mash Allah :statisfie

That is inspiration from Allah (swt). says not me, Prophet Muhammad (saw) predicted that...

Abu Huraira reported that the Messenger of Allah said “When the time (of the end of the world) draws close, the dreams of a believer will hardly fail to come true, and a dream of a believer is one of the forty-six parts of prophethood.”

(Bukhari, Muslim)
“Abu Hurairah reported: When the Apostle of Allah finished his morning prayer he used to ask whether anyone had seen a dream, and used to say: After me there would be nothing left of prophethood except good dreams.”

(Muwatta, Imam Malik)


The news of the Unseen and all that Allah (swt) send us through the unseen (ghaib) and all that we have been receiving from it , is through Prophet Hood which Allah (swt) bestowed on his chosen ones called Prophets. But Muhammad (Saw) told us that after he leaves Prophet hood will be over, because there will be no revelation needed as Quran will be the last one. BUT Allah (swt) will deliver His news to each individual i.e through the true and good dreams informing them of something about their lives. And that is why Prophet Muhammad (Saw) said the above that nothing would remain of Prophet hood except true and good dreams such as the one this Sister saw.
