Dream:
Salaam,
I had a dream where I saw several cat feces behind my house with flies on them, then my mum walked and then my aunt with the same clothes on as my mum. Then I was with Shaykh Nazim doing spiritual training, in front of me were two blood related brothers who I met during Hajj last year. Stage 2 of the spiritual training was that we had to break the number zero with our minds. Then I saw all these random numbers flash in my dream and then number 0 which I was trying to break with my mind and then I woke up and felt something move in my heart.
In another dream, I saw Shaykh Yaqoubi who put his hands in the river and said this water is shifa. So I started wiping the water on me and my friend started bathing. I think the river was in Medina.
Interpretation:
Audhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajim
Bismi-llāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīm
Wa `alaykumu s-salāmu wa rahmatu l-lāhi wa barakātuh
It is a true dream meaning that Mawlana Shaykh Nazim is guiding you and perfecting you until you will reach your heavenly destination. Breaking the zero means that you need kill your ego to have no more existence like a drop in the ocean.
Mawlana Shaykh Hisham explained in Classical Islam:
The main difference between the Naqshbandi Way and others is that while they are giving, we are taking away. Everything must go, even your separate existence. First you will be without anything, then you will be nothing. Only those who are prepared to take such a step can be real Naqshbandi murids. As long as a drop is falling from the heavens, it may be called a drop. When it falls into the ocean, it is no longer a drop, it is the ocean.
And Allah knows best.
Wissam
