1. Text Conversation with Madiha on Monday 27 February 2012
Madiha: I had this weird dream (two days ago) that I was putting foundation cream on my girl cousin's skin and then the fream ran out.....she said to me that I am not going to look nice on my mehndi night.....but I had a vision that she will look (attractive) with her yellow clothes on.... (06:27)
Dr Umar: The dream means that any person your cousin wanted to marry in the past will go out of her life, yellow clothes meaning someone new will come into her life, the yellow colour meaning a fresh start. (09:06)
2. Text Conversation with Madiha on Monday 20 May 2013
Madiha: I dreamt that my brother-in-law, wearing white clothes, came down from the skies. The sky was (a gorgeous shade of) blue and it was a (glorious) sunny day. I didn't know what he was saying. I was thinking he was dead. Then I was sitting next to my auntie and she mentioned that she had had some dream. She especially mentioned the Hajj or ziarat. Then I told her that I had had the same dream! She replied that my brother-in-law was calling for me.
Dr Umar: You could have some disagreement with your brother-in-law because, in the dream, you didn't know what he was saying. (Tuesday 21 May 2013)
3. Text Conversation with Madiha on Sunday 16 November 2012
Madiha: Oh, my uncle died and I had a dream about him.
Dr Umar: Inna lillahe wa inna illaihe rajioon ( We come from Allah and to Him is the return).
Madiha: I dreamt that I saw a white bath in my uncle's mum's room and he left his tooth behind. His mum was showing my sister's father-in-law the tooth but then my nephew lost it.
Dr Umar: A bath represents rejuvenation and release from troubles i.e. his mum might think that he has left all his troubles behind on Earth. Losing a tooth represents losing a loved one. Your nephew's popularity as he gets older will shield the whole family from grief.
Madiha: I had another dream a couple of days before he passed away. I dreamt that there were a lot of Muslim males standing outside a Mosque but the door of the Mosque was closed. One of them then said that they needed to get in early into this Mosque because it gets hard to find a place to pray namaz (the Mosque gets very crowded). Then the scene changed and my cousin and I were sitting in the Mosque among a lot of women wearing scarves....when I felt an Angel was coming. The closer it was coming, the more scared I was becoming. Then I saw it....it was quite a small Angel and had wings. I didn't say anything. But when my cousin saw it, she told everyone. (17 November 2012)
Dr Umar: Mosque and Angel both mean that a person is a good Muslim. In your dream, there were problems: overcrowding in the Mosque and fear of the Angel. I think your dream is telling you that your family on the whole is on the right path but should have future awareness of the neeed to do extra deeds to please Allah, in case Allah is not happy with anything. Have a good night, Safah, and may Allah bless your uncle. Ameen.
4. Text Conversation with Madiha on Sunday 12 April 2013
Madiha: I had a scary dream that I attacked someone in a room and was caught on close circuit television. Then I was on the news but they didn't show the attack so I was about to leave and the police said they were issuing am arrest warrant for me....but they gabve me a warning instead.
Dr Umar: Watch how you behave with other people. Do you think you have things to hide from your past and are afraid of being found out? The police represent the need for you to control your behaviour.
Dr Umar: Been getting Messages that Tasawar is going to give birth to a boy (he's going to be our first child) after we marry. (14 April 2013)
5. Text Conversation with Mohammad Javad on 16 March 2011 Javad: Salam, my friend saw the Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. in dream and his two brothers were there as well: what does this mean? 16/3/11 16:06:07
Dr Umar: Wa laikum salam, Br Javad. Seeing the Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. in a dream means following the Prophet’s S,.A.W. way i.e. Righteousness. So your friend and his two brothers are all holy. 17:19:00
