Dreams can be signs from God, but they cannot be regarded as absolute signs. Dream interpretation requires knowledge and understanding.
In the Quran, dreaming is mentioned as a sign from God, yet it cannot solely be regarded as an absolute sign from the Almighty. Dreams may carry various meanings, and in reality, individuals often perceive their experiences and emotions in dreams. In Surah Yusuf, God allowed Joseph (peace be upon him) to have dreams that indicated his future and significant events in his life. This does not imply that every dream or vision comes directly from God; rather, it signifies that dreams possess a high capacity for inspiration and reflection. Additionally, in Surah Al-An'am, verse 59, the Quran refers to other interpretations of dreams: "And with Him are the keys of the unseen; none knows them except Him. And there is no leaf that falls but that He knows it, and no grain within the darkness of the earth, and no moist or dry thing but that it is [written] in a clear record." This indicates that all knowledge of the unseen is with God. Therefore, dreams can serve as a window into the thoughts and inner states of individuals. However, it should be noted that interpreting dreams requires skill and knowledge, and in this context, the sayings and teachings of the Ahlulbayt can also provide guidance.
And thus will your Lord choose you and teach you the interpretation of narratives and complete His favor upon you and upon the family of Jacob, as He completed it upon your fathers, Abraham and Isaac. Indeed, your Lord is Knowing and Wise.
And with Him are the keys of the unseen; none knows them except Him. And there is no leaf that falls but that He knows it, and no grain within the darkness of the earth, and no moist or dry thing but that it is [written] in a clear record.
One day, Mehdi, a thoughtful young man, dreamt that he was walking through a garden filled with colorful flowers. He felt that this journey into the garden was a message from God. Upon waking up, he decided to get more acquainted with his spirituality and enhance his relationships with those around him. Mehdi ultimately realized that this dream was a sign to keep God in mind and fill his life with love and kindness.
