I always made fun of such threads.
I always saw in my dreams, little things which were going to happen in my vicinity.
So I had this theory, that brain is some strange way feel impact of future even before.
Those dreams were always, clean shots of what is coming.
Like spilling coffee in the car and being annoyed about it. Some one telling me some thing.
Very similar picture of what i was going to see.
But little while ago, I had dream. Biblical style.
Very vivid, very strange. So strange that I shared it with friends. And they had thinking face too. Since was strange it was impossible to same event happen.
But then some thing happen, and that dream all made sense.
I mean all of it.
Where do those dreams comes from ?? I dont have a theory for such dreams
Hadith main likha hai…that as we get nearer to Qiyamah…then the dreams people see will come true. Sachay khwab…or the dreams that take place in real life…are a fraction 1/46th part of nabuwwat.
So, there’s nothing “strange” about your dreams. But yeah it is a pretty cool feeling to see them manifest in real life MashaAllah …especially if the dreams are not bearers of trying circumstances.
What is meant by this? please elaborate…
with every passing second we are getting nearer to Qiyamah, and that was true 10000 years ago too.
Scientifically speaking dreams are alternate reality which depict what goes in our brains…the subconscious, which we may or may not express or see in reality. Besides that I think dreams are like a weatherman who keeps on saying its gonna rain all 365 days, and when one day it rains we get stumped, like wow the weatherman right, even though his accuracy is only 1/365…
Well, Crabman…there’s close to qiyama…and then there’s closer to qiyama…and then there’s really really close to qiyamah. Dreams are said to be from Allah, from our own thoughts, from shaitan. Why is that so hard to believe?
I’ve MashaAllah had dreams come true. I’ll share an experience with you. There had been some tension between my aunt’s family and mine. My cousins would occasionally talk on the phone with my mom but for the most part they would avoid us. Though we live in different states, there was a time where we’d visit each other regularly…like every year. But after tensions, that came to a halt. I hadn’t seen my cousins in years.
One night…around Fajar time I had a rather vivid dream. Now before I continue with my story, I will tell you that I wasn’t thinking about my cousin. They weren’t on my mind. It had been years since I had moved on from the past hurts and so they were not among my top concerns on thoughts. So, around Fajar I see a vi id dream where I am at some strange outdoors location and my cousin and her husband both try to talk to me; like they’re trying to make conversation and I am reserved with them. Then the scene shifts and we’re at a jewelry store…and the scene changes for the 3rd time and I see myself at my aunts’s home. I am walking down the corridor hall and there’s a voice that say’s “Ab sullah ho jaani chahiye.” I don’t know whose voice that was. This was followed by strange details which I can’t remember. However, when I woke up…I couldn 't shake of this dream. Call it intuition or whatever butI knew that there was “something” to this dream…that it had meaning.
I called up another cousin, whom I’m very close to and shared my dream with her and she told me that there was no significance to it; that I shouldn’t think about it. But, like I said, I just knew there was something special about this dream and I couldn’t shake off that feeling.
I remember on evening of the same day that I had the dream, my sister and I were sitting in the living room when suddenly the phone rang. My mom went to pick it up…and we asked mom who it was…and she said “Baji _______.” My sister and I looked at each other, stunned. Why? It’s because this cousin of mine rarely called. She hardly called, so it came as a surprise. You could imagine how shocked/freaked out I was feeling because it was only that morning that I had dreamt about my cousin. When mom got off the phone, my sus and I asked her why Baji called as it was so unusual. My mom revealed another surprise…
That my cousin said she’ll be visiting us soon. This was also unusual of her. But since that visit, a sullah or reconciliation did take place between our two families. We became closer. And that’s exactly what the voice in my dream said “Ab sullah ho jaani chahiye” which means “A reconciliation should now take place.”
And the person who saw the most dramatic change in relationship was me. This particular cousin, though much older than me, had a strained relationship with me in the past for most of my life. And now MashaAllah/Alhumdolillah we are closer. So what do you think, Crabman?
So the above was a really cool experience that I had MashaAllah/Alhumdolillah…and it is just one of several experiences.
A beautiful and touching story indeed.
But I suppose I am cynical so bear with me and think about what I said before. It is the subconscious mind and thoughts that are not apparent to our waking self which influence our dreams. That’s probably why you dreamt of your aunt’s family. When you are awake, you have other concerns and that family tension is not that high on priority for you to think about. But deep down you feel (or you subconsciously feel) that families shouldn’t have such strained relations, that’s why maybe you dreamt of that. And yes once you have seen that, you would obviously be more inclined to patch things up, rather than carry on with no-talking terms. But nevertheless dreams do have a meaning and are vital in development of our thinking process.
Our subconscious mind is a very interesting and powerful processor, if you think about it, the processes that our mind supervises just to keep us alive, for example consider breathing, eating, blinking, talking or walking around the home. You don’t think about the path or lifting your foot, or balancing your body, it all happens automatically without even thinking about it. Even supposedly complicated tasks like driving happen on auto mode too sometimes. It has happened to most of us, after driving from office to home, we think about what was I thinking, how did i get here so fast?
While we are busy in relatively important stuff, on a basic level our brain is helping us do these tasks. So it is no wonder that our dreams will often depict our social problems, as both of them are a product of subconscious mind.
For example take the most common dreams, in men it is falling down an endless pit which is indicative of our fear of no backup or support. For women it is falling teeth which is indicative of their fears of being ugly or unpleasant looking.
So yes you are right that they do sometimes come true, but the relation of true dreams to qiyammat is absurd I guess, when we know for a fact that 95% of what we see in dreams we forget instantaneously.
Crabman, it has happened to me many many many times that the thoughts that are buzzing in my mind do not show up in my dreams. I will think about something the whole day or several days or weeks and I will not dream about anything connected to it. You 're trying to dismiss my dream as something that was embedded in my subconscious and let me tell you that during the years that there was tension b/w our families…I never saw dreams of reconciliation though I wished that their family would apologize and things would go back to normal. You cannot explain why I saw the dream on that day and why it manifested itself later when it came as a surprise to even my mom and sister. None of us expected them to call much less visit.
Islam does acknowledge that the dreams may be a subconscious reflectiom of one’s own thoughts and that is JUST one category of dreams. A true dream is said to be from Allah. This is something you have to have faith in. Not everything needs to strictly reduced to science, Crabman. In a hadith the Prophet SAWS has said if we see him in a dream then we have seen him as the shaitan can’t take on his form. So would you have faith that one really did see the prophet or would you try to “explain that away” as well…cuz there comes a point when one has to stop the rationalizing and just believe that it’s a divine experience; that’s what iman is about that’s where iman comes in. Dreams are part of the unseen realm, so is shaitan, so is the Prophet SAWS, so are the angels. So would you try to rationalize or even dismiss all of them with strictly scientific explanations? I mean at what point do you draw the line and acknowledge that something is a miracle or accept Allah’s role and power in it?
I usually suffer at my own, waiting some thing to happen. only few times I shared.
Like one documented thing is when I wrote an email to my brother, that I saw 2 of our uncle suffering.(I did not tell my brother that I saw that they where in wrapped in white sheets, on the bed and looked at me in pain.)
We have big family mA.
As response my brother told me both have passed away after being unwell.
Kind of no one could help them.
I heard voice clearly one for sure, or may be twice. etc etc
Maybe dreams are not telling the future. Maybe our subconcious mind gest programmed by the dream and we unknowingly lead ourselves to the same situation that we saw in the dream
Life’s big blessings are going to be within your reach. You need to cherish them and carefully guard them, as their existence could get under a threats by happenings that seemingly are not under your control.
