Question:
This questioner also says: Honorable Shaykh Abu Muhammad, what is the difference between a dream (hulm) and a vision (ru'ya)? And if visions become frequent for a person, how are they interpreted?
Answer:
Dreams and visions, and the multiplicity of dreams, are mostly not [visions]. Or they are talk of the self, so one should not pay attention to them. However, when going to sleep, he should recite Ayat al-Kursi, and recite Surat al-Ikhlas and the two Mu'awwidhat, and say the supplication reported after them, and sleep on his right side. Then, at that time, Satan will not approach him, and he will not have disturbing dreams.
