The Dreamer’s Handbook – Book Sample
Preface – The Inevitable Journey
Our soul inevitably passes through a route starting from birth, passing through death, and ending with our resurrection in the next life. This route revolves around death, and is strongly marked with events that precede and succeed it. These events include sickness, pre-death and post-death actions, the intermediate life in the grave (al-Barzakh), and lapses of sleep that count as “minor death”. These, and related issues of the soul, are the subjects that we discuss in “The Inevitable Journey” over a sequence of titles as follows:
- Sickness, Regulations & Exhortations
- Inheritance, Regulations & Exhortations
- Funerals, Regulations & Exhortations
- Life in al-Barzakh
- The Dreamer’s Handbook:
- ep Etiquettes & Dream Interpretation in Light of the Sunnah
We base our discussions on authentic texts from the Qur’an and Sunnah, guided in their explanation by the understanding of eminent ‘ulama. We strive to eliminate elements of superstition and falsehood that have crept into these parts of human life by way of tradition and ignorance.
Each book in this series is intended as complete handbook and reference in its subject matter. The material is often supplemented with charts and diagrams for easy reference, discussion, and study.
This Book – The Dreamer’s Handbook
Sleep, described by the Prophet (A) as “minor death”, can be a welcome occasion of pleasurable rest, or a hateful predicament of fear and terror. Islam presents a clear understanding of sleep, and provides a complete code of sleep etiquettes and extolments. This helps make sleep a rewarding daily experience that brings useful rest and pleasant dreams.
The book begins by presenting a spiritual understanding of sleep from the Islamic viewpoint (Chapter 1 ). This is followed by guidelines for recommended pre-sleep actions in the evening (Chapter 2) and upon going to bed (Chapter 3), and post-awakening actions during the night and in the morning (Chapter 4).
The rest of the book deals exclusively and extensively with dreams. The conceptual understanding of dreams is laid out first (Chapter 5), followed by an analytical presentations of dreams in the Qur’an (Chapter 6), dreams seen by the Prophet Muhammad (A) (Chapter 7), and dreams seen by the companions (6) (Chapter 8).
The last three chapters center around dream interpretation. Correct rules and procedures for dream interpretation are discussed first (Chapter 9), followed by drills and exercises to help understand these rules (Chapter 10), and concluded by a glossary of interpreted dream symbols for quick reference (Chapter 11).
This, we hope, fulfills two important goals regarding sleep and dreams:
