17 Rules of Islamic Dream Interpretations 1) There are 3 types of dreams: Imam at-Tirmidhi ﺭﺣﻤﻪ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ narrates from Muhammad Ibn Sirin ﺭﺣﻤﻪ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ who narrates from Abu Hurairah ﺭﺿﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ﻋﻨﻪ that Prophet ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ said, “There are three types of dreams: 1) True Dreams 2) A dream in which a person is speaking to himself (i.e. whatever you were thinking about in the day time, you see at night) 3) A dream from shaytaan in which he wants to make you sad ” In one hadith it is mentioned that one should stand up and pray and in another the he should not mention it to anyone. Abu Salamah ﺭﺿﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻨﻪ once said, “Sometimes I would see a dream that would be heavier on me than carrying a mountain. But since I heard this hadith I wouldn’t care about the bad dream I would see.” Narrated Abu Sa‘id Al-Khudri ﺭﺿﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻨﻪ : The Prophet ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺳﻠﻢ said, “If anyone of you sees a dream that he likes, then it is from Allah, and he should thank Allah for it and narrate it to others; but if he sees something else, i.e., a dream that he dislikes, then it is from Satan, and he should seek refuge with Allah from its evil, and he should not mention it to anybody, for it will not harm him.” [Sahih Muslim] Q1) A question arises, is every dream that a believer sees good? A1) Al Muhallab ﺭﺣﻤﻪ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ says, “Most of the dreams of the righteous people are good dreams because sometimes a righteous person could see a dream that is meaningless but that is not very frequent because shaytaan’s control on them is very weak. And the opposite is true with other people because shaytaan has a stronger grasp over them. People are of the categories: 1) The Prophets: all of their dreams are truthful and but sometimes they need interpretation. The good dream is divided into 2 categories: a) Direct dream: something one would see in a dream and the exact scene repeats itself in day- time when you are awake and this dream does not need interpretation. b) A dream the comes in symbols and it needs to be interpreted. 2) The righteous: most of the time their dreams are truthful (most of them need to interpreted) and sometimes their dream are direct. 3) Rest of the people: most of their dreams are not true but some of them could be true.” [Fath al-Bari bi Sharh Sahih al-Bukhari]
