Dreams of marriage

Q: I have a very important thing and I need answer. It's about the prophetic dreams. We know that they are one of 46 or 48 gifts from Allah. One sister has a problem with her boyfriend (let's not mention that he is "boyfriend" cause nobody wants to give them nikah because of bride's age). He ignores her (but he has time for watching movies and meeting friends, he hugs other girls as well but time for his lady is "wasted" in his mind). During this time one person who didn't know about this situation had a dream that this sister married another man (who we know) and he is a very good Muslim mashallah (he practices, covering his body properly etc.). Later the other person had a dream about this nikah. Also this sister had a dream that said not to have any relation with that actual guy. The man from the dream learnt about this sister and he wanted to talk to her to get to know each other. Suddenly the actual guy started to apologize to our sister and said that he wants to be with her cause he loves her (he is also a revert) etc. But the dreams about nikah with the other man didn't stop or change. This time 3 people had dreams about that and they could describe this sister and not-revert guy despite the fact that they don't know nor see them before. What should we do in this situation? One more fact - one of those persons had prophetic dreams before and 2 people had their nikah due to that dreams.

A: She should discuss the matter with her parents and elders.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
