Q: I saw a dream about my ammi and sister who are in Pakistan. I saw I went to my mamu's (ami's brother) home. When I reach at their gate a big deep hole was in the way. After I crossed the gate, my mami (mamu's wife) was standing there with a small dog. When I asked where is my mamu my ammi wants to meet him, she replied angrily your ammi can keep trying but she can't cross this hole and can't meet her brother. I often see a dog with that maami and they stop me from entering the home. Please explain.
Q: I had a dream that I was somehow in some woods and a black snake named the black mamba jumped up at me and bit me on the arm then again tried to bite me again but did not get me the second time, I was running around asking for help but no one would help. They were not taking interest, and straight away that dream ended. Although I did not wake up but it just faded away! Could you please tell me what was the meaning of this as I have heard if you get bitten by a snake in your dream it's really bad.

Q: I'm a 22 year old graduate student studying for my Master's in Physiology. I live in Cleveland, Ohio, USA and I was wondering if someone would be able to answer my question. I'm currently $124,000 in debt due to government loans, which charge interest. I was under the impression that under situations of necessity, the haram becomes halal, however I recently found out that the definition of "necessity" means life or death. I took out the loans so that I could complete my bachelor's and master's degrees. I'm planning on going to medical school in Fall 2014 and I will be required to take out even more loans (with interest). I found out that there's a military service program (HPSP - health professions scholarship program) for medical students in which the military will pay all tuition and fees, along with a monthly stipend, but will require 4 years of military service as payback. This will mean I will have to live without my family for months at a time. I'm planning on doing this program so that I do not have to take out further riba-based loans, and so that I can begin to pay off my current loan with my monthly stipend. However, there are other non-military programmes out there as well, but they will only forgive my loan after 10 years, which means I will be paying interest for at least 10 years. Also, there are some residency programmes that offer signing bonuses and partial loan forgiveness that might reduce the time required to pay off my debt to 3-5 years. Dropping out of medical school doesn't seem like a good option since I will end up paying the interest on my loan anyway. Any career besides medicine will most likely pay less, and thus take longer to pay off my loan (resulting in more interest). In the meantime, is there anything else I should do? I don't come from a wealthy family, and there are hardly any interest-free student loans offered for regular middle-class families. I guess, I can only keep asking for Allah's forgiveness and pray for a way out of this debt.
I'm sure there are many other Muslim students in America in my situation. I appreciate any answer.
