can a person die from a dream?

Note that the things people see in their sleep may come under one of two categories :

1 – Dreams/visions

2 – Confused dreams

Confused dreams in turn are divided into two categories:

1 – The Shaytaan’s attempts to frighten

2 – The workings of the subconscious.

So it may be said that what people see in their dreams may be divided into three categories:

1- Visions or dreams that come from Allaah.

2- Attempts by the Shaytaan to frighten us

3- The workings of the subconscious

the good dream which is glad tidings from Allah;

the bad dream which causes distress, which is from the Shaytaan;

and the dream which represents what a person is thinking about.

So if any one of you sees a dream which he does not like he should get up and pray, and not tell people about his dream…”

It was narrated from ‘Awf ibn Maalik that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Dreams are of three types: some are terrifying things from the Shaytaan, aimed at causing grief to the son of Adam; some are things that a person is concerned with when he is awake, so he sees them in his dreams; and some are a part of the forty-six parts of Prophecy.”

(Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maajah, 3155)

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Dreams are of three types: glad tidings from Allaah, what is on a person’s mind, and frightening dreams from the Shaytaan. If any of you sees a dream that he likes, let him tell others of it if he wishes, but if he sees something that he dislikes, he should not tell anyone about it, and he should get up and pray.”

(Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maajah, 3154)

what a person should do if he sees a dream that he dislikes, as follows:

1- He should know that this dream is from the Shaytaan who wants to cause him grief, so he should annoy the Shaytaan by not paying any attention to him.

2- He should seek refuge with Allaah from the accursed Shaytaan.

3- He should seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of this dream.

4- He should spit drily to his left three times, i.e., blowing with a little bit of saliva.

5- He should not tell anyone about it.

6- He should turn over from the side on which he was sleeping, so if he was lying on his left side he should turn over to his right side, and vice versa.

7- He should get up and pray.

If a person adheres to this etiquette, then we hope that this bad dream will not harm him, as it says in the texts. And Allaah knows best.

u must also recite thr dhikirs before sleeping.

Some die during their sleep, no one knows they die a normal death Or by watching some horrific dream.

Allah knows the best. :)

No postmortem examination is yet to determine the cause of death as being a bad dream. Your dreams occur in you mind and if it was so disturbing, it would awaken you where you would again allow reality to rule.

Idk....but last nite I dreamt I was eating and than when I woke up I was really full...and I wasn't sleep walking or anything?.....No I don't think a dream can cause death....maybe...:)

you cant die from a dream but you can die IN a dream

Only if it's a prophetic dream. But no one should take dreams too seriously.

VIVA LA RAZA!

That shot is news from somewhere and no one ever died from a dream...

You can die in a dream but not from a dream.lol

if u die whilst dreaming while asleep that means u died in ur sleep.

Only if you have a heart attack but the dream itself cannot kill you.
