Dream:
Assalaamu’alaykum,
My mother had a dream whereby there is a very pious person/shaykh sitting down and he is telling her the future of her 4 sons in great detail. He told her to get her eldest-son married after 36 and that he will get a head injury when he is 42. The other son should get married in November this year, and he will experience problems with his legs in the future, and that he should give sadaqah to disabled children. They both have been divorced in the past. Her other son should get married after he is 29, and that he will have some heart difficulties in the future but his business will take off next year. And one of her sons will have difficulty producing children.
Should this be taken at face value or is there another meaning?
Interpretation:
wa `alaykum salam
Most people’s dream, until they reach the station of sainthood, are symbolic rather than literal so it is better to not rely on them as too exact but instead take some wisdom from them such as that the sons should marry, watch their health, etc.
