Dreams

Q: I was sleeping on the right hand side, about 1am I felt someone standing behind me. The fan was on. it just went off. The person clasped my right hand tight on my wrist, it looked like my deceased fathers hand. So I called out is that you papa. There was no reply. Then he said come my son twice and thereafter he said, we all waiting for you. He released me and when I turned around he vanished. So I carried on walking and I met my first cousin deceased, so I relayed my story and his answer was please read all your salaahs and do good things for your akhira. I went on and I met another cousin [living], I related and he gave me the same story. I walked on and I met my deceased brother. I related and the same answer was given. Please if you could interpret this dream for me. My next question, I dreamt of of our beloved Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam).

Q: I had two dreams of a tsunami. Dream 1: I was by my grand mothers house and my parents had to go and drop of two parcels in Isipingo Beach. My house is down the road from my grandmother's house. I wanted to go home and I saw the tsunami. The tsunami was covering the whole of Isipingo beach and it was till my house in Isipingo hills. Lucky it was not covering my house. I went to my grandmother's house screaming for help and we all read Surah Yaseen. After 1 hour the tsunami cleared up without causing damage!

Dream 2: Somehow, the weather changed and everything was dull. I ran to my grandmother's house and found my parents leaving to go to my house. I jumped in with them and as we were going down the road, I noticed that Isipingo Beach was covered with rough waves and again the tsunami was covering Isipingo Beach and was till Isipingo Hills. The tsunami stopped exactly by my house and soon the waves calmed down and Isipingo Beach was no longer under water. This time it washed away houses and everyone Isipingo Beach passed away!

Q: Please can you help me understand a dream. I often see myself in a Masjid, in one dream I was in the masjid wearing a white burkah stood up reciting the Quraan. In another dream I happened to find myself and members of my family in the masjid, I see musalla carpets nobody around, I look around me to establish which way qiblah is. I say it's this way look at the musalla then I say lets pray 2 rakaats salah. I then find myself in a croweded part of the masjid looking for space to pray. I say to a couple of ladies look over there at the front there's space come on. I see myself in a corner praying as if I am leading the salaah for these two women and as I go down for sajdah to put my forehead down I feel a step making my forehead stummble I see myself getting back up to tashahhud position again. The masjid is very similir in both dreams, red carpet musallah like what we see in Haram and dark wood panels part of the lower walls and wooden railings. A bit like the interior of the blue Mosque in Turkey.
