Asalamu ‘alaikum, Today something strange happened. After salat al Fajr, I read some Qur’an and then decided to go back to sleep. I had my mobile phone in my hand to set the alarm clock. All of the sudden, I think I went into a dream, where first my legs started elevating and I could not bring them down. As far as I can remember, I saw one of my teachers saying to me that saying “Allahu Allahu”, basically constant dhikr (like tasawwuf ones) is sinful and maybe she said that is the case if it done at home. Certain things happened afterwards in the dream but I cannot remember. Then my eyes opened and the mobile phone was still in my hand and I looked at the time to find that it was only about 20-25 mins after my eyes closed. This is the 2nd time dear respected one, that this has happened to me. The first time it was also after fajr and reading Qur’an and also lasted about the same time as the second one- although the content of the dream was different. Could you please explain? Jazak Allahu Khair.

Your dream is nice in a way that it contains an effective warning why there is laziness towards religious matters i.e. the salah, tilawah and dhikr should be performed in the right way which is adopted to perform these acts.
