Poem: On Dream Interpretation And Lucid Dreaming

 💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

💌 The closer you are to Allah and the more truthful,

The more you tend to have dreams that are not forgetful, 

Whether you're "intuitive", "an empath", or "soulful", 

Having lucid dreams a lot could entail you're special.

~•~

Ever seen a dream where you found a clone of yourself 

Drag you to a cliff, shoved you then it shouted for help?

Maybe that's your nafs and the dream was trying to tell 

You to control it so you can triumph in both worlds.

~•~

Or a dream in which you interacted with strangers 

Yet strangely you clicked so well like you've known each other?

Perhaps they're like-minded souls situated somewhere

On earth. With Allah's Will, you'll meet in Jannah later.

~•~

Or a dream wherein you were climbing a white staircase, 

Then a scene where you were staring at earth miles away, 

And a dream where a friend gave you a flag that you waved 

Then you both became leopards which made you feel amazed.

~•~

Good dreams and vivid visions are from Allah's Mercy 

To those who strive to please Him and sometimes feel lonely.

One of Allah's Ways for the righteous to be relieved, 

Good dreams hold messages, warnings and signs that can lead.

~•~

Nightmares or awful dreams, in contrast, come from one's nafs, 

Disturbing thoughts from one's subconscious meant to distract.

Firm trust in Allah and strong faith shield you from waswaas.

Dispel a nightmare's impact through Adhkaar and Du'as.

~•~

Good dreams are gifts from Allah; don't take them for granted.

Share them only with those whom you know can be trusted.

Always ask Allah that He joins you with the guided, 

Who are blessed with insight like many of His Prophets.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "When the end of time approaches (before the Day of Judgment), the dream of a believer can hardly be false. The dream of a believer is one of forty-six parts of prophecy and whatever is from prophecy cannot be false."

In another narration, the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The most truthful of you are those with the truest dreams. There are three types of vision. The righteous vision is glad tidings from Allah, the distressful vision is from shaytan, and the vision arising from oneself. If one of you sees something he dislikes, let him stand to pray and not speak to people about it."

📖 'Urwah ibn Al-Zubayr RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Aisha RadhiAllahu 'anha would say when she intended to sleep, "O Allah, I ask You for good and true dreams, not false dreams, beneficial (useful dreams) and not harmful." When she said this, they knew that she would not say anything more until she awoke in the morning or in the middle of the night.
