Dream:
assalamu ‘alakum
I dreamed that a girl (I know) told me to go somewhere, she told me the way to it. when I stepped on the first road which was a little higher, many animals were coming. I had to move the opposite direction I found it hard to get even out of the stampede of donkeys and cows. anyhow i managed to find the way out there was a girl with me but now she was not. I looked around and found I was on the right side of the road whereas I had to be on the left side. I thought i will change the lane when I need to…
Interpretation:
wa `alaykum salam,
The girl represents dunya and receiving much more of the worldly life. The herds of domestic animals represent the lower self, whose main interest is only eating, drinking and animal pleasures. This dream shows your spiritual side, (ruh) is being overwhelmed by dunya and material desires, and that to get to the “right” side you are in need of some great effort against your ego. It is not enough to “think” you will change, because to make such a change needs the support of a guiding murshid, it cannot be done by one’s self.
And Allah knows best,
Taher Siddiqui
