Is it true that if a vision is interpreted, it comes to pass, and if it is not interpreted, it does not come to pass? And is it permissible for the one who saw it to interpret it without knowledge?

The questioner:
A questioner from the Prophet’s city, whose name is symbolized by the letters S.A., says: Is it true that any dream or vision, whether beautiful or ugly, actually comes to pass if it is interpreted? And if it is not interpreted, it does not come to pass? And is it permissible for the one who saw it to interpret it when he does not know how to interpret it?
The Shaykh:
The matter of visions is wondrous. It is obligatory for the one who sees a vision he dislikes not to tell anyone about it, and to turn over from the side he was sleeping on to the other side, and to seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan and from the evil of what he saw, and not to tell anyone about it, for it will not harm him by the permission of Allah. But if it was a good and joyful vision, there is no harm in telling about it those of his brothers in whom he has trust. Yes.
The presenter:
It seems to me that the questioner wants to ask the Honorable Shaykh about what they mention of the saying that a vision is on the wing of a bird, so wherever it is interpreted, or however it is interpreted, it comes to pass. If this is what he wants, is there a clarification?
The Shaykh:
And it is known that one does not tell anyone about it. Among the teachings regarding visions, if it is of the kind that a person dislikes, the teaching in that is that he does not tell anyone about it and does not mention it. Yes.
The presenter:
As for their saying that it comes to pass however it is interpreted, that is not correct.
The Shaykh:
I do not know that at all.
