Dream:
As-salam-alaikum,
I am very disturbed by a dream I had last night, especially during Ramadan. I dreamt I was walking behind a young man who ended up falling into a pit. I for some reason was transported within him or maybe switched places, whereby I was at the bottom of the pit, covered in human feces. It was so terrible and I even had some in my mouth. Then I was suddenly on top of the big pit looking down, and the distance from the top to the bottom was very big. Someone then said that this is the pit of Sodom and Gomarrah. The dream then switched to me trying to go to the washroom but I could not since the toilet had no hole to excrete. I ended up seeing my high school principal there. This dream makes no sense to me, I have not commited fornication, murder..
Interpretation:
audhu billah mina ‘sh-shaytani ‘r-rajeem,
Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem,
wa `alaykum salam,
You were shown a glimpse of a terrible situation. Insha-Allah this saved you from suffering in reality. Your principal there represents an authority figure reminding you of the linchpin of the Islamic system and the key to safety in dunya and akhira:
يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَأُوْلِى ٱلۡأَمۡرِ مِنكُمۡۖ فَإِن تَنَـٰزَعۡتُمۡ فِى شَىۡءٍ۬ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَٱلرَّسُولِ إِن كُنتُمۡ تُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأَخِرِۚ ذَٲلِكَ خَيۡرٌ۬ وَأَحۡسَنُ تَأۡوِيلاً
{O ye who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those charged with authority among you. If ye differ in anything among yourselves, refer it to Allah and His Messenger if ye do believe in Allah and the Last Day: that is best, and most suitable for final determination.} Surat an-Nisa’ 4:59
And Allah knows best.
