What does Islam say about dreams and their meaning?

“The example of a dream is like a man traveling on a highway. The traveler will come across many different types of sceneries, some lush and beautiful, while others maybe not so eye-catching and appealing.”

“When experiencing a fearful or bad dream you should seek refuge from the evil of it and from the evil of Shaytaan. Do the action of spitting thrice and don’t mention it to anyone, and it will not harm you Insha’Allah.”

“In our understanding, the science of interpreting dreams is not a science that can be learnt through taking part in any course. Apart from this, the interpretation of dreams is not something conclusive. There are various aspects that are taken into consideration before interpreting a dream.”

“The science of interpreting dreams is a rather difficult and intricate field that requires one to have in depth knowledge of the different sciences of Dīn. Generally, dreams do not materialise in reality as exactly seen in one’s sleep.”
