Dream:
I dreamt that I am with my dad and he tells me, “I dreamt of my shaykh, the late Hazrat Niyaz be niyaz Baba Badakhshani Rehmatullah alayh. He said that you don’t have permission to drive. You can drive until the 11th.”
I accepted the decision and replied that it was a heavy thing and it is good that it is coming from them because that makes it easier to bear.
Please interpret the dream for me and help me. I am afraid because I’ve read on this forum that a dream within a dream is taken literally. However, it is very difficult to be unable to drive in North America, what with the responsibility of shuttling children to class, school, etc.
Interpretation:
No permission to drive means you are not yet mukallif according to awliyaullah, ie. you are not yet “mature” to be safe with your spiritual amanats, that your Shaykh is holding for you. It is a hint that you are making good progress by your ita`at, obediency, and be patient and consistent in `ibadah and observing your duties, one day that permission will be granted and your amanat will be unveiled to you and you’ll be given your spiritual driver’s license. and Allah knows best.
