Interpretations of dreams and kashf
Question
Is the interpretation and symbolism of dreams the same as that for kashf/ilhaam? Or is kashf/ilhaam interpretation entirely separate?
Answer
An interpretation is not conclusive, be it of a dream or be it of kashf.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
