Sorry, if this is the wrong forum to post this topic.

Yesterday night, in my dream(s), I was walking past a group of mourning people in white. There was a photo of the deceased ( female) and what is strange or weird is that they were (supposedly) Muslims. No, I’m not trying to write anything offensive against any religions. I’m writing down just what I saw in my dreams. A devout follower of Jesus dreaming of “Muslim” elements - something that I’ve never embraced. Again, please be reminded, it’s not Islamophobia. I just felt the dream is too weird. Could it be any signs? Especially, since I’m going through rough days. Any insights please?

(I’m saying “bad omen” because people were mourning).

When I dream anything weird, I assume that it relates to something I’ve seen or heard mention of in the last few days influencing the dream and that it’s my brain putting the ideas together in a jumbled fashion. However, that isn’t to suggest that there’s no legit meaning to your dream… especially in light of Acts 2:17, I just wouldn’t necessarily assign any real meaning to it unless you have a strong reason to assume that it’s significant.
 
Well, I agree with you. But I just thought “why a Muslim’s death scenario”.

I was a Buddhist, before deciding to walk the path of Roman Catholicism. I used to dream a lot about Jesus, but I didn’t find it strange because I had been studying a lot about Christ and related stuffs. And that dream proved vital (in what way – that’s a different story).
 
Dreams are out of your control. Do not let them disturb your faith.
 
It is never a sin to ignore our dreams and visions, no matter how Godly we may think them to be. They do not necessarily have any mysterious meaning or significance to be interpreted. It is actually spiritually dangerous to give these types of things too much attention. When you think that you’ve been given special dreams and visions, you’ve already fallen into deception.

“Even a pious person is not immune to spiritual sickness if he does not have a wise guide – either a living person or a spiritual writer. This sickness is called prelest, or spiritual delusion, imagining oneself to be near to God and to the realm of the divine and supernatural. Even zealous ascetics in monasteries are sometimes subject to this delusion, but of course, laymen who are zealous in external struggles (podvigi) undergo it much more frequently. Surpassing their acquaintances in struggles of prayer and fasting, they imagine that they are seers of divine visions, or at least of dreams inspired by grace. In every event of their lives, they see special intentional directions from God or their guardian angel. And then they start imagining that they are God’s elect, and often try to foretell the future. The Holy Fathers armed themselves against nothing so fiercely as against this sickness – prelest.” ~ Metropolitan Anthony Khrapovitsky

Why we dream remains one of science’s great unanswered questions, there are a lot of theories out there as to why we dream by science but the truth remains elusive.
 
Maybe you’re to love Muslims as your neighbor. Maybe you’re to care for all those that you come in contact with. Morning is a natural event following a loss and we all have a way to help. It’s not a “bad omen”, it’s another opportunity to express Christ’s love to those who are hurting.
 
It’s easy to associate things in a person’s mind that may not have any real meaning. Look at constellations. Of course, it all depends how deeply convicting what you experienced was, it may have meaning, I don’t know. I personally have had other experiences only I see as meaningful. But bear in mind it could just be coincidental. I dream and think all kinds of things. I don’t judge you as islamophobic, why think that? Just because there was a Muslim theme? That’s silly.
