Hence,
there are two kinds of dream. One is that in which the imaginative power of the
Nafs
is dominating the human being at the time of seeing a dream and the
perceptions of the physical senses assemble in the cache of thought and their
reflections falls on the mirror of heart. This time these used to thoughts and
imaginations take a form and are seen in the dream. These are called 'Azghaaf e
Ahlaam' that is, 'scattered reflections' (anxieties) which are not trustworthy.
However, sometimes, when the 'Nafs e Natiqa' (Nafs with ability of utterance),
inclines towards the Unperceivable World or the Realm of the Spirits
because of
the suspension of the Five Senses and the physical organs, at that instance the
occurrences of the Realm of Unseen are reflected on the glossy essence in a way
the forms of the reflections are seen in the polished mirror. Declaring such
dreams as 'disheveled thoughts' and 'scattered reflections' (anxieties) would
be a great mistake and a denial of true events. Yes, at times, when the mirror
of heart has been tainted with the usual thoughts of the Perceivable World and
the reflection of occurrences of the Realm of the Unseen cannot get rightly
reflected, then the true dream and the irregular thoughts mingle with each
other and a new type of dream emerges thence. Some parts of such dreams are
true and some 'scattered reflections' (anxieties)! Thus, this condition is also
not valuable at all. However, sometimes, when a person has reached such an
Inwardly
Valley in a dream where there is not passage of the routine common
thoughts, sensual attachments (with devotional conations) and the worldly
Khatraat
and that person sees the clean and clear horizon like the true dawn.
This time, the occurrences of the Realm of Malakoot, that is, the Kingdom of
Unseen, reflect from the mirror of heart in a way as a movie is clearly and
exactly is seen on the screen of a theatre.

When
the human being sees the events of such class in dream, the same kinds of
events exactly as it were in his dream surely take place in the real life the
same day or the same week or in a month or in a year or after many years. Hence,
such dreams are the sample of the true truths of the heart.
Allah
Almighty says: The
heart lied not (in seeing) what it saw (53:11)
Almost
every person in the world has experienced the event of a true dream by which he
can get enough surety of this thing that there has been placed another thing too
inside the human being besides these material organs and physical senses which
is known as Inwardly
Personality or Nafs
, Qalb
and Ruh
and this scope of
existent things is not just limited to the touchable things but instead there also
exists a distinct and Subtle
Spiritual World side by side this earthly world
the signs of which, sometimes, take effect upon this corporeal body. Therefore,
every human being must have seen some true dream in his life the event of which
should have taken place exactly as seen sooner or later. Or even if a person
had not seen a true dream by himself yet he must have tested the truthful
occurrence of the dream of his near one, friend or fellow as the incidents of
such a nature are very common. Children, weak, imperfectly wise women,
(abominable person), Faajir (sinner) and even the Kuffaar, Mushrikeen
and
Hypocrites also see true dreams of every sort and this throughway outlet is
open for everyone. Often we see that some incident is seen in a dream and it
has taken effect exactly as it was seen in the day or sometimes a dream was
seen regarding something that was lost and the lost thing was recovered
according to the message received in the dream or sometimes a drug is suggested
for a disease and using it resulted in total recovery or sometimes the news of
the death of someone was given or the good tiding of the birth of son was
received which happened exactly as it is or the news of winning a course in
court or the information about a friend gone on a journey or sometimes an event
of happiness or sorrow coming in future is seen today in the dream or some
unknown person or an unseen house or a new city is seen in a dream and after
waking up, all these incidents occurred exactly as were observed in the dream.
