Dream:
Dear Shaykh, Assalamu alaykum,
Please could you tell me the meaning of this dream: There is indication that I have got up from illness (in real life I am manic depressive) and I am in white Islamic clothes which are old and a little worn. I approach a very small window and am told I will not ever be able to pass through it but the little girl who is with me and is supposed to be my and my father’s daughter is carried by my father through the window and I am told that my joys and happiness will pass through the window. Also in the background there are 2 common men sitting and talking to each other across a table.
I am sorry this is so long, but I am very perplexed about this dream, as I feel it is very significant. Thanking you in advance.
Interpretation:
wa `alaykum salam,
A`udhu Billahi min ash-Shaytani ‘r-rajim
Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Rahim
Wa’s-Salaatu Wa’s-Salaam `ala Sayyidina Muhammad
Wa `alaikum Salaam wa rahmatullahi wa Barakatu,
InshaAllah this is a dream indicating that your happiness is in connecting with your Fitrah (innocent nature) that you were born upon. The nafs al-ammarah (Lower commanding self) will never accept happiness but when your fitrah is loved and embraced through Islamic spirituality (Deen al-Fitrah), you will be able to grow stage by stage in happiness and spiritual freedom.
