Does the interpretation of dreams affect the suitor's position regarding his fiancée?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I proposed to a woman and her family agreed, and I saw a dream which one of the sheikhs interpreted to mean that I would propose and then withdraw from this proposal. The question is: does the interpretation of a dream deter one from proceeding with this proposal?

The Shaykh:
It deters.

The questioner:
Does the interpretation of a dream deter one from proceeding with this proposal? And is it possible that it does not happen?

The Shaykh:
The best course is for you to withdraw from it, since you saw a dream and it was interpreted for you. The best is for you to withdraw. If you are hesitant, perform the prayer of istikhara (seeking guidance) and make the supplication that has been transmitted. If you incline toward proceeding or toward not proceeding, then you take the path to which you incline after the prayer and the supplication. Use istikhara. Yes.
