Dreams in Islam
-
It's interesting because there used to be this Egyptian sheikh who claimed to be able to interpret dreams and became quite famous and had his own program for a while. People would call in and tell him their dreams and he would interpret it for them. Then one day, they had about four or five sheikhs on another program who ripped him and said that no one has that ability.
You do hear some really bizarre things out there like sheikhs making magic water with Quran in it to protect you from jinn.. lol
Sheikh rivalries ay.. amazing what status can do to people, makes others believe anything almost..
Dreams.. dreams are subjective I?d say most interpretations are just guess work but God knows best

Peace!
if i were you, Confused, i wouldn't bother with "Islamic" or any other kind interpretation of dream. Well, sometimes they do entertain my mind, but in the end, the final interpretation is my own, my choice.
It's been long since i had a "horrible" dream--or maybe i just don't take my dreams negatively anymore. I care more about the "dreams"/imaginations/thoughts i consciously make when i'm awake--because that will help me control not only my dreams in the night/dawn but also my mind in the following day.
Remember this the worst possible thought/imagination comes not while you're asleep.
also, you can always fit any of your dreams to your life--past, present or future. It is your choice, really, that matters.
Good luck

What would you guys say if I told you that my dream came true? Today I got retrenched from my job, which is pretty much what the interpretation said it means. Coincidence? Either way I am miserable (
I sympathize with you, well ... but you're not going to say it's caused by the dream, are you? Maybe it's time to make a new dream--dream job etc etc... ) coz i've heard stories where people who pursued their dream job was, at some point in their life, triggered by a little accident like yours. Big chance.
So, would you like to share with us what your dream job is like? if nothing, just for fun, to cheer up ... c'mon, say it...

The irony is this IS my dream job. I immigrated to a new country and spent three and a half years unemployed. I had to study again, do internships, work for free and suffer rejection after rejection. In one summer, I applied to 700 jobs (yep 700) and got rejected from all of them. I didn't even make it to the interview phase. So finally when I got this job, I thought God was rewarding me for my patience and hard work and then bang I am unemployed again. The company is losing money and they need to let people go (

You're learning didn't go to waste. you gained some experience at this place now take that knowledge and inshallah apply it elsewhere ) think positive, negative thoughts are mind killing!
Don't be to hard on yourself. there is a common saying i hear my mum say... might be a hadith not sure but goes along the lines of "3abdi yes3a la is3a ma3ou" which roughly translates as "MY servant (in relation to us to God) seek/strive so I (God) can strive with you".
I believe if you strive for good God will aid us.. If you call on God, God will listen (2186) difficulties exist.. and well maybe they're meant for a reason.. beyond the wisdom the eye can behold.
try applying for a more renown company? or ask why you got rejected.
Hope you have a good dream, that might give you hope
peace.

Salam, Confused, i can only imagine all that hard years you have successfully passed. So it's your dream job and you've fought your way to it. Now i can only offer something that you may find of no relevance at all... sadaqah/charity. Not to be preachy ==forgive me if i sound like that-- but there is something beyond our comprehension in sadaqah/charity. It's like inviting miracles to happen in your life. And i'm sure you know better than me about what sadaqah/charity you can perform in your current situation.
There are many verses in AQ regarding Allah's favor for charity/sadaqah --i can't quote all of them right now but it's easy to search them. When i feel helpless, this is the remedy i seek, and after some time, the Help would come in ways i could never imagine before.
Good luck and peace!

It's interesting that you say that san. I was actually thinking of doing some volunteer work just to fill up my time. I am really miserable. I keep thinking how great it would be if I just drop dead and end it all. Maybe charity will keep me busy.
Then we may be connected, unconsciously cos i'm having a hard time myself trying to start a venture/business (whatever you call it). Especially since i don't wanna get caught in bank debts (another topic really). I have high, unexplainable hopes in sadaqah/charity.
Keep posting about your volunteering experience, would ya? Maybe i should look into it, too.
