Dream interpretation
Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh!
My father passed away last Rajab and it has devastated me, my mother, my siblings and family. we now continue to pray for his maghfarah and entry into jannah and last night i had a dream:
We were in our house and it was dark with just a candle lighting it then my father was sitting in the sofa, saying he was brought back to life again
then my father asked me to massage the sole of his feet which i did then he requested to massage it harder as he cant feel it which i then obliged then i asked him its a good thing he was alive again as if he died longer he would be limp, unable to feel his feet again
then it was dinner and we plan to eat at the living room then he requested to have a separate table for two with him and my mother as he wanted to have a date with her then he asked me to put his and her college graduation mini picture frame in the center of the table.
then when it was time to wash our hands he ask me to lift and assist him in walking as he was dead for long and was adjusting to walk again which i held him in the torso and assisted him walking.
then it was morning and i was about to leave house and there was a traffic in our village and their vehicles cant pass through i parked my motorcycle in the side of our neighbors wall to take a look then my other neighbor just ran his van hitting my motorcycle then our city mayor got out of her car and looked at my motor(that has now shattered large piece of glass next to it)asked me if my motor is still fine then i was shy to answer her straight as she was the mayor of our city i just replied fast “yes” and left.
then we were at this ship my father and mother was in a room and the light of their cabin room was flickering then our city mayor happens to be there with his husband who’s also a congressman, went to my parents room to check what’s the problem then our mayor told my parent about the motor incident earlier
then me & my cousin went to the ship’s arcade room and it was abandoned, dusty and dark with a few working arcades my cousin decided to use a coin but i said that arcade’s coin slot isnt working but he decides to put it anyway which now is stuck inside then he opens the coin slot to retrieve the coin and gives me 4 coins.
Kindly interpret this dream Mufti saheb it would mean alot for my family, Jazakallahu khair.

Al Jawāb Bi’ounillāh Wa’Alayhi at Tuklān.
The science of interpreting dreams is a rather difficult and intricate field that requires one to have in depth knowledge of the different sciences of Dīn. Generally, dreams do not materialise in reality as exactly seen in one’s sleep. They tend to hold a hidden meaning which needs correct interpretation in light of the Qur’ān and Hadīth. This is why it is not everybody’s job to interpret dreams. The mere knowledge of the different factors that indicate towards the truth of a dream is not sufficient for one to interpret a dream.
Further, interpretations of dreams differ from person to person. It is not merely the nature of the dream and its contents that are sufficient for an interpretation. More importantly, those who are learned in the field of interpreting dreams have to consider the Deeni condition of the person who has seen the dream and relate the contents of the dream to his condition in order to give an interpretation. Whilst two people may have seen the exact same dream, there is high possibility that the interpretations of both persons be very much different. (Dāruliftaa Mahmudiyyah Sherwood)
Seeing the nature of dream three points could be noted:-
▪︎ You massaging the feet of your father means:- Attaining one’s goal, continue the father’s work and manage what he left behind. Service to the father denotes happiness from Almighty Allāh.
▪︎ Your father dating your mother means the profound and fidelity of their love. The noble deeds should be continued. Showing kindness and softness to your mother.
▪︎ Accident of motorcycle denotes Sadaqah should be given frequently.
▪︎ The ship is the destination of a believer is Aakhirah. We should be sailing without endorsing your heart with worldly materials.
● So serve your mother to the best of your ability, uphold your family with kindness, often give Sadaqah and prepare your Aakhirah without spoiling your heart with materials of this low world.
Take note that whilst ‘Ulama have outlined certain scenarios of dreams and their interpretations, it is not necessary that a dream of that nature always holds that particular meaning. From general experience and knowledge ‘Ulama may have interpreted a certain type of dream in a specific manner, they have also specified that such interpretations are variable.
Allāh Ta’ālā knows best.
