Istikhaarah for marriage

Q: I have had a few dreams in the past year regarding a particular person and I wanted to know if they are baseless or significant.

1. I saw myself lying in bed with this person with his arms around me and we were both very happy and he made me feel very protected. I told him I had to leave but he insisted that I stay with him a bit longer and so I did and was quite happy to do so. I was very comfortable and happy in this dream.

2. I saw someone telling me that she knows the name of the person I am meant to get married to and she tries to show me the name but I cannot see it, but then she hints at the fact that it will be this same guy.

3. I saw my mom telling me she would be very happy if I chose to marry him because she is very fond of him.

4. I saw my brother trying to convince me that he would be a good match for me and that I should go for it.

I just want to know if these are just reflections of my thoughts because this individual is someone I have considered for the sake of marriage but have not taken any action towards yet. Or is there some deeper meaning behind these dreams?

Girl not happy to get married to the boy her parents have chosen for her

Q: My marriage proposal is going on and my family members selected one boy for me. My family likes this proposal as the boy is hafiz e quran and amil too. I m a Modern muslim girl,i wear hijab ,I follow farzs things about islam and some times I do not follow each and every sunnah. I do pray 4 times salaah (namaz). Many a times I miss fajar salaah also. I read quran but not daily. I fast whole ramadan month. but other then this I do not do taraaweeh namaz in the month of ramadan. My inner feelings says that i should not marry this boy as I am afraid to marry him as he is hafiz e quran and alim and he follows each and every sunnah. If I marry him I also have to obey everything what he says if I do not listen then I will commit a sin so I m very much afraid and said no to this proposal initially the other reason to say no to this proposal is he is not having pleasant personality but my parents are happy with this proposal. I don't know what to do. If I reject, I feel that I am disobeying Allah and my parents also and if I accept this proposal and marry him, after marrying if I don't accept him as my husband as he is not having a pleasant personality and each day if I regret and dislike him will also increase my sins. And if I do not listen each and everything what he says and follows about each sunnah then my sins will increase each and every second. I am very much afraid. Please do suggest me according to Islam. I do not want to commit any sin. In my view what I feel is if I reject him now its less sin and if I marry him for the sake of my parents then my whole life I will do one or the other sin and if incase any divorce then the big sin. Please do suggest me I am very much afraid. Suggest some good advice so that my heart gets relief.
