The word dream includes 'Message' or 'Vision', which is an impression, hopefully from God, into the mind or heart. Where two or more different dreams were dreamt of on the same date, they have been included together. When any of my Sites is mentioned, whether in the main text of my dream narrations or footnotes, the Unique Resource Locator [URL] is given as a hyper-link in case the reader wishes to refer to the Site in question. Where the same dream or vision was repeatedly received on different occasions [a 'recurring' dream or vision] the different dates are given, sharing the same reference number of the dream. Footnotes are not concurrent but begin afresh with each new dream. The dreams are not in strict chronological order, having been taken from several notebooks [see samples of entries in the Manuscripts section of this Site].

Dream No. 1 [Message]: Wednesday 15 August 2012
I felt like visiting the grave of the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and I got the feeling that the blessed grave was in my local area [Manchester, UK], not very far from my lodgings. [1]
[1] This Message emphasises the loyalty to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم that I have displayed, and the service I have done to Islam, by creating my Power of Durood Website: http://powerofdurood.weebly.com
Dream No. 2 : Thurday 16 August 2012
I had a dream connecting my Power of Durood Website http://powerofdurood.weebly.com with the London Olympics [Summer 2012] and Muslim athletes participating therein.
Dream No. 3 : Saturday 18 August 2012
I checked that I checked my Power of Durood Website http://powerofdurood.weebly.com and found out that a non-Muslim had been using it.
I dreamed that some female visitor to my one of my Weebly Sites asked me how to play some game with her using Weebly.com! I saw the playing court of some game -such as lawn tennis- in full colour. I gave her some answer. Obviously, the task of playing such a game seemed to be beyond her because she then contacted me again with the same question! I was afraid that she would download the Weebly app - the one I saw at the bottom of my Allah Aza wa Jal Website http://allah-azawajal.weebly.com on my Samsung smartphone - and them create her own Weebly site to challenge mine! I was rather envious of her potential. [1]
[Later] I dreamed that a female visitor to my Allah Aza wa Jal Website http://allah-azawajal.weebly.com replied with a beautifully-lustrous hyper-link that was glowing and that led to some website which was very complicated for me to understand.
[1] Before taking a third 'power nap', I had been looking at the Feedjit widget on my Allah Aza wa Jal Site and noticed that visitors from Singapore and Morocco had made repeat visits to the Site, so they had obviously been interested and even told their friends, since I saw five Singapore flags with different IPAs [Internet Provider Address]!
Dream No. 4 [Message] : Sunday 19 August 2012 c. 1:30 am
I heard the theme music of the 1970s British cult-television programme The Champions after I received after I received a comment on my Islamic Resources Websitehttp://dr-umar-azam.weebly.com from a reader named Shazia Qureshi: 'JazakAllah, Brother. Excellent Site.'
Dream No. 5 [Message] : Sunday 2 September and Monday 3 September 2012
I got the Message that my all my sins have been blown away 'like cobwebs' for updating my Islamic Resources Website http://dr-umar-azam.weebly.com [1]
[1] There are several kinds of PDFs [Portable Document File] of the entire Holy Quran available for free download on this Site. In Islam, it is held that reciting the Quran results in Allah's Forgiveness for one's sins. Presumably, the act of distributing the Quran, making it available for study and recital, leads to the same Mercy.
Dream No. 6 : Wednesday 5 September 2012
I dreamed that a girl and her younger sister did something spectacular, or world-class, even they did not have access to adequate resources.
Dream No. 7 : Friday 21 September 2012
I was in the wudhu [ablution] area of a Mosque and a boy worshipper noticed that I had bought a beautiful pen for 70p. The pen had a multi-colour barrel. He tried to take the credit for having made me aware of the availability of the pen and the place where it could be purchased from. But I made it clear to him that I had gained possession of the pen by my own efforts. Then I was given the message that the earliest salah [ritual prayer] is Fajr even though I wanted to read a superogatary salah. [1]
[1] A recent Muslim convert from Philadelphia, USA had signed my Guestbook on my www.dr-umar-azam.com Website, asking me for the soft copy of the Holy Quran and details of how to pray salah [ritual Islamic prayer]. This dream has comforted me by informing me that Allah Most High will, Inshallah, accept my scholarly work and Islamic website-building just as if these deeds were salah. Inshallah, Allah will even accept these deeds as higher deeds [superogatory salah]. The American request gave me the idea of including a how-to-read-salah PDF file amongst the electronic materials of my Islamic Resources Website http://dr-umar-azam.weebly.com
Dream No. 8 : Sunday 30 September 2012
I experienced three inspirational [1] dreams [on this same date], advising me not to give up on the task I'm currently engaged upon. The last of these three dreams was of a fist clenched in determination [2].
[1] I had been working intensively, promoting my Islamic Resources Websitehttp://dr-umar-azam.weebly.com on the Internet: sending out tens of emails to me Google Mail contacts, signing lots of Guestbooks on Islamic Websites and even doing fieldwork - posting advertising leaflets through residential doors in my local area. Yet up to today - 30.9.12 - there has not even been one email received concerning the Site! This dream is informing me that success will come if I persevere.
[2] At the time of typing out this dream - 6 Jan 2013 - I have received dozens of entries via the Feedback Form and also the Guestbook on the Site, so this dream turned out to be true!
Dream No. 9 : Thursday 20 December 2012
I dreamed that circumstances compelled someone [there seemed to be an austere atmosphere in this dream, as if this person had erred or was in danger of erring] to want boxes of the free, printed Holy Quran and Islamic books [1] and I was going to direct that person as to how to acquire these Resources free of charge. [2]
[1] See my Free Quran and Islamic Books Website http://free-holy-quran.weebly.com/ for instructions on getting these Resources absolutely free from the Conveying Islamic Message Society, Egypt and Hakikat Kitabevi, Turkey.
[2] This dream has now inspired me [I was feeling lacklustre before] to produce leaflets instructing and advising householders to request the boxes of the Holy Quran and Islamic books free themselves or to ask me to refer them to the relevant organisations.
Dream No. 10 : Saturday 22 December 2012
I heard a ten year-old boy talking in the street with his friend about a dream that he had had and they were discussing the meaning of it. I went up to him and told him about my www.dr-umar-azam.com Site. The scene changed to the inside of his house. I asked his mother if their family was originally from Sylhet, Bangladesh and she said indeed they were. There were two or three beautiful daughters who were members of the family. Their brother had not visited my Website when I met him again and, in fact, he was impudent, making me feel that it was little use logging onto it. I emphasised that the Site has won numerous website awards. Towards the end of the dream, in their house, I saw strings of decoration lights, like wedding lights and was given the news that when good news is imminent, these lights begin to shine. Then I saw the fiance of one of the daughters of that family; he had come over from Bangladesh for marriage purposes. He was standing behind a sofa. [1]
[1] I am expecting to marry someone called Tasawar but there have been severe problems in the likelihood of marriage, resulting from her vehement refusal to marry me. This dream, if it turns out to be correct, or if I am interpreting it in the correct way [good news could represent my success with my Websites, for example], is informing me that it is just a matter of time before she does give her consent and that time is imminent. As I type out this dream, it is now January 2013 but I proposed marriage to her in September 2010 . I have been suffering mental anguish all that time.
Dream No. 11 : Monday 15 October 2012
I dreamed that a member of staff of the Diamond Internet Cafe [1] was photocopying a complete book of which I was the author. It seemed to be a novel, yet scholarly simultaneously! I saw a fragment of text cut out and it was to be photocopied on the photocopier's screen at the same time as the main document. I was informed that my work was going to be sent to a Mosque. [2] [3]
[1] I have been working on the computers at Diamond, doing my Islamic work, since the year 2001
[3] I got the feeling in the dream that other authors had likewise penned their works for publication.
Dream No. 12 [Message] : Friday 19 October 2012
I got some Message that I had solved the problem of securing readers' comments on my Resources Site: Islamic Resources Websitehttp://dr-umar-azam.weebly.com
