    God Almighty, Lord, Creator and Cherisher of the universes. There is nothing like unto Him and He is the All-Hearing, the Al-Seeing Lord. Seeing Him in a dream can be interpreted according to one’s state of being.

    If one sees Him in His glory and majesty, without descriptive designation, without ascrip¬ tion of human characteristics to Him and without depiction or portrayal in the dream, it is an indication of glad tidings for both this world and the hereafter.

If one sees Him otherwise in a dream, it means confusion, and particularly if the Almighty Lord does not address him.

    If an ailing person sees Him in a dream, it means that he will soon die and come to meet Him. If a straying soul sees God Almighty in a dream, it will find guidance. If an oppressed person sees Him, it means that justice will prevail and he will triumph over his oppressors.

    If one receives revelations from behind a veil in a dream, it means mental confusion and innovation. This is most true if a messenger comes in one’s dream and describes the one who spoke as God. In this case, the dream is a nightmare, because God Almighty cannot be depicted according to human descriptions.

    If one sees a picture of God in his dream, it means that he is a liar who ascribes images to God Almighty that do not befit His Majesty and Glory.

    If one sees his Lord frowning at him, whereby he could not bear the effulgence of God’s light, or if he is seized by a shock and immediately commences to repent and pray for forgiveness in the dream, it means that such a person is indulging in abominable actions, and that he is a despicable sinner who follows his own mind and desires, and that he is an innovator of religious thoughts who misleads the people. If one hears God Almighty talking to him in a dream, it represents an admonition and a warning to abstain from sin. If one hears God Almighty talking to him in a dream, it also means that one is more assiduous in his recital of the Qur’an.

    If one hears God Almighty talking to him with words he cannot understand, then if He anoints him and blesses him in the dream, it means that God Almighty will bring him nigh unto Himself and exalt his station. If one sees God Almighty in a form resembling one’s father, a brother or a relative and showing His kindness or blessing him in a dream, it means that he will be afflicted with a calamity and a major illness. If a righteous person sees himself standing before God Almighty in reverence and filled with awe in a dream, it means that mercy will encompass him and help him to further his growth.

    The same interpretation applies if one sees himself prostrating before Him. If God Almighty speaks to someone from behind a veil in a dream, it can also represent a good worshipper, but if the Divine address takes place without a veil in the dream, it means falling into sin. If God Almighty names someone in his dream with his birth name, then adds another title to it, it means rising in station and rank.

    If one sees God Almighty angry with him in a dream, it means that his parents are displeased with him. This description includes seeing oneself falling from the skies or from the top of a mountain.

Navigating Through the Inner Arguments: Practical Steps

• Reflect on Your Emotions

  When you awaken from a dream of arguing with yourself, take a moment to reflect on what emotions were prominent during the argument. Jotting down your feelings can offer clarity on what internal conflicts may be at play. Are there decisions you're struggling with?

  Understanding these feelings allows you to contextualize your dreams and can provide insight into how to resolve your real-life uncertainties. Journaling about your thoughts and feelings can lead to increased self-awareness, helping you chart a path toward peace with conflicting desires.

• Seek Balance in Life

  To alleviate the tensions that may manifest in dreams through arguments, it is crucial to seek balance in your life. This could involve establishing a regular routine that includes time for both work and relaxation. Engaging in activities that promote mindfulness—like yoga, meditation, or even simple breathing exercises—can be beneficial.

  When we nurture a holistic lifestyle that harmonizes our mental, emotional, and physical states, we often find the internal arguments dissipate or clarify, leading to personal growth and deeper self-understanding.

• Communicate with Yourself

  Consider engaging in dialogues with yourself in a structured way. This may sound unusual, but talking through your thoughts—whether aloud or in writing—can clarify conflicting desires. By personifying the different aspects of yourself in this manner, you can identify which are in conflict and begin to understand their motivations.

  This process can help demystify why these arguments surface in dreams and pave the way for self-acceptance and resolution.

• Consult a Professional

  If your dreams of arguing with yourself are frequent and troubling, it may be wise to reach out to a counselor or therapist. They can assist in uncovering deeper psychological themes that may play into these dreams. Professional guidance can provide strategies to cope with unresolved emotional issues.

  Just as dreams can offer insight, a trained professional can ensure that you journey both inward and outward safely, promoting healing and understanding.

• Embrace Your Inner Voices

  Finally, remember that every part of yourself deserves to be heard. Rather than ignoring or repressing the voices that come through in your arguments, acknowledge them. Each perspective has its value, and embracing this multiplicity can lead to a richer understanding of your identity and needs.

  This means learning to accept and integrate various desires, such as the need for independence versus the need for companionship, can be profoundly transformational. By doing so, you may find that the intensity of these inner arguments diminishes over time.
