Q: I saw a dream around 3 am. I saw that I am in a hospital to visit my relative who is very sick (he is very sick in reality). It's dark as if it's night time. The patient is sitting on a bench in a very serious condition. His family is sitting with him. As I went there for condolence, the patients wife was feeding her daughter. She asked me to have some of the food that she had with her. I refused, but she went on insisting therefore I took from her. It was a sweet paratha. I only had 2 bites from the paratha and then I stood up as if I wanted to leave now taking the paratha along with me. As I opened the door to leave, few barking wild dogs jumped over me. I felt that they want the paratha I was carrying, I just threw the paratha far and so all the dogs ran over to the paratha. I looked behind, they were tearing the paratha badly and I went away safely.
1: I want to know what this dream means?
2: Me and my family members are experiencing similar kind of dreams almost after every 2 to 4 days. Just before this one, my daughter saw a lizard in her dream that came along with the medicines prescribed by a doctor, as the lizard came out, I crushed it down my foot.
We are reciting four Quls and ayat al Kursi as per your suggestion from long as well as Manzil everyday. What shall we do and what does these dreams mean?
A: Ensure that you and your family are punctual upon performing Salaah on its prescribed time and upon observing strict purdah with all non-mahrams. Make ta`leem of Fazaa'il-e-A`maal and Fazaail-e-Sadaqaat daily with your family and reserve some portion of the night and day for the recitation of the Qur'an. Remove all pictures of animate objects from the home and encourage each other to practise the sunnah and carry out righteous works within the home. In this way the home will be safeguarded from evil influences and Allah Ta'ala's rahmat and the angels of mercy will remain in your home.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
