Hey Everybody!

Today I would like to write about something many people question about, many people have questions regarding, what is that? Dreams, I had a dream the other day, what does this mean? When I was dreaming, somebody was chasing me and I couldn't run, what is this? What is this all about dreams? And many of us have dreams at least you know like four or five times a week minimum, some of us have dreams every night, some of us can not even sleep due to nightmares we have. So we just want to talk about the three different types of dreams that were mentioned by the Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him).

# 1. Good Visions (dreams)

The first is a vision, something you saw from the Almighty Allah (God). God showed you this dream, you saw something good, you saw some light, you saw some birds flying, you saw somebody giving you good news, you saw something that you won't forget, I mean when you wake up the next morning you're not going to forget this dream, why? Because it meant so much to you, made you happy, it made you smile, you loved it, you laughed, that is from the Almighty God. These are the dreams from God, these are the dreams from God that you could tell people you love.


# 2. Dreams from one’s self

The second type is the dreams that we think about, the dreams that before we sleep, we're thinking too much, we're constantly thinking about this matter, we're stressed, we can not go to sleep easily, why? Because, this thing is on my mind, I want to be rich, and I just think throughout my day and I imagine myself rich, so when I sleep I may see that I am a rich man or I see that I have a lot of  money etc.
These are the dreams that affect our thoughts psychologically and they turn into dreams, because we thought about it so much so this comes from our own selves, from our own, from our own desires, from our own minds.

# 3. Bad Dreams
The third type is the dreams that are from the devil, and these dreams are the ones that scare us, they horrify us. We wake up in the middle of the night, we're like," Oh I am still here? And you feel as though when you were sleeping, you couldn't move, you were stuck, you couldn't go anywhere. You felt somebody was choking you, you wanted to speak but you couldn't speak. These are nightmares and this is from the devil. So when we face these dreams or when we see these dreams as soon as we wake up, we should say, "I ask God to protect me from the devil", then you blow three times on your left shoulder. And that's it, go back to sleep and do not worry. If you were sleeping on your right side, you can sleep on your left side, if you were sleeping on your left side you can sleep on your right side. And with these dreams, you don't have to worry, don't think about it, don't tell anybody about it, because these are nightmares from the devil. The devil wants to do is to worry you so that you can not focus on your relation to your God, so you can only think about that dream.
