Rayaa-e-saadiqah (True dream)

if it maintains its purity and wholesomeness and is not influenced by
the darknesses around it, and does not allow restrictions of its physical
body to overwhelm it, then its relationship with its real home (the
soul world) remains strong. It anticipates and remains aware of the
knowledge of its origin. The medium for this communication of
knowledge in wakefulness is through the senses and during sleep
