Interpretation of seeing the dead in a dream in a disliked situation
Interpretation of Seeing the Deceased in a Dream
Question:
What is the interpretation of seeing a deceased every time in dreams?
Response:
If one sees a deceased in a good state in a dream, this lends hope that he is in a good state. If one sees him in another type of state, this could simply be devils taking on the form of people. Devils take on the shapes of people in a disliked situation in order to grieve the living. This is because devils are very avaricious to do anything that brings grief, worry and sadness to the believers. Allah has said,
“Secret counsels are only from Satan, in order that he may cause grief to the believers. But he cannot harm them in the least, except as Allah permits“ (al-Mujadalah 10).
So if a person sees something evil for a deceased in a dream, he must seek refuge in Allah from the evil of Satan and the evil of what he saw. He should not communicate that dream to anyone concerning that deceased. In that way, the deceased will not harm whatsoever. In fact, any time a person sees something disturbing in a dream, he should then seek refuge in Allah from the evil of Satan and the evil of what he saw. Then he should spit three times on his left side. He should then change his side upon which he was sleeping to the other side. If he makes ablution and prays, that is better and superior. He should not communicate that dream to anyone and, in that case, he will not be harmed by it at all.

Salaam aleikuum.
But what if I see a dead person in my dream,but in this dream the dead person is ”alive”in my dream.
And is talking to me and playing with the children …………..for example.
I don not feel this dream to be bad,that’s how I feel in my dream and after waking up.
Is this still a ”bad dream”with saytaan taking the body shape from this dead person,or is a dream about a dead person,even when this dead person is doing good or bad in this dream,always named a bad dream.
And I must search protection by Allah Taa’ala by making Doea etc always.

As stated by scholars, dreams are of three types. It may be from from Allaah (good dream), or from Shaytaan (bad /frightening/disliked), or because of thinking about it during the day . We are told to seek refuge in Allah from Shaytam for the bad /frightening/disliked dreams as they are from Shaytan. Allaahu Aalam. wa salam alaikum
