Dream:
assalamoualaikoum,
I was born by the dua of a saint. I started to dream about the saint when I was 14 years old. I happen I was in difficulty in the dream, I cried out his name and then I saw a white light coming and everything in my dream was gone, I was the only one standing in the dream and it was white around me. I had the same dream for two times then on the third time, when I was in difficulty the white light came but this time it went inside me and I destroyed everything surrounding me.
Then when I was eigtheen, I dream of the mazar of Khawja Moinudeen Chisti in India, thought I have never been to India, I dream of a person dressed in white and he was telling me it is your time to join the tariqa. I had the same dream a couple of time. One time he would tell me that you are the last and thirtheen (13) OF US. I used to see myself in the dream sitting with people dressed in white. There were many of them. One time I saw myself sitting on a chair made out of wood and there were three other people sitting chairs and there were many people dressed in white sitting down on the floor surrounding us. One more time I saw myself dressed in white and I was travelling with another person dressed in white in a train. We stopped at a train station. We had a small pot of food, people came to ask me food and I did not refuse and in that process I gave food to more than one thousand people and I heard a voice in the dream saying only a great saint can do that. I had one dream about Sayyidina Rasullalah(swallahhu alaiwasllam). I could not see his face, but everybody in the dream was saying it was him. He was wearing a white kurta and a dark jacket. We all prayed behind him and after the salaat everybody went to stand where the Prophet(swallahhu alaiwasllam) prayed and I was also among them. I would be pleased if you can answer my dream.
Interpretation:
These dreams beginning when you are reaching puberty are to lead you to the path of purity, as represented by the white “theme” you are seeing. And seeing the different shaykhs and awliyaullah are an indication that one of your ancestors was a pious person or a saint himself or herself and you are the answer to his or her prayers for a pious descendant. And as you mentioned you were the answer of a saint’s du`a.
Finally seeing the Prophet (s) in a dream is great goodness for this life and the next and signifies the Prophet (s) will intercede for you in seven great difficulties in this life and seven in the afterlife, when you are most in need of help. And these dreams are pushing you to spend more time in worship and service to Allah and it maybe that you will reach a high station where you are able to guide many people to the path of Allah as indicated by feeding 1000 or more, signifying spiritual food. That train is the train of tariqah and of your shaykh. Since you are on board, your shaykh will guide you to your destination and you will arrive safely insh-Allah.
