A true vision is a blessing from Allah, and its interpretation is a trust that requires honesty and accuracy in narration. The clearer and more truthful the description of the dream, the more accurate and beneficial the interpretation will be, by Allah's permission. Below are the most important etiquettes and guidelines to observe when submitting your dream.
Guidelines for Submitting Your Dream
Be Truthful in Your Description
Write the dream exactly as you remember it, without addition, omission, or alteration of events. Truthfulness is the foundation of obtaining a correct and accurate interpretation.
Be Clear and Organized
Narrate the dream from beginning to end, and mention the most important symbols and events clearly and sequentially to help the interpreter fully understand it.
Be Concise When Needed
If the dream is very long, focus on the most prominent events and symbols to facilitate the interpretation process without overlooking any important details.
Be Calm and Respectful
Interact with the interpreter with politeness, respect, and calmness. This helps in obtaining a faster and more accurate interpretation.
Avoid Fabrication or Addition
Do not add events or symbols that did not occur in the dream. Honesty is essential for obtaining an accurate interpretation that suits your actual situation.
Avoid Excessive Optimism or Pessimism
Focus on describing the dream objectively and leave the interpretation to the specialist. A dream may carry meanings that never cross the mind.
🌙 Information That Helps the Accuracy of Interpretation
- Mention your gender and marital status (single, married, etc.)
- Mention the approximate time of the dream (before Fajr, after Isha, etc.)
- Mention any prominent colors in the dream if you remember them
- Mention the feelings you experienced during the dream (fear, joy, sadness, etc.)
- Mention whether the dream is recurring or occurred for the first time
- Mention any life circumstances you are going through that may be related to the dream
Important Note: Dream interpretation is an Islamic science with its own scholars, and not every dream requires interpretation. The Prophet ﷺ said: الرؤيا الصالحة من الله، فإذا رأى أحدكم ما يحب فلا يحدث به إلا من يحب. "A good dream is from Allah. If any of you sees what he likes, let him not tell it to anyone except one whom he loves." Therefore, be wise in choosing with whom you share your vision.
