I am having dreams about a deceased family member, what does that mean?

Question:

Assalaamu Alaikum

I would like to know if I am having dreams about a deceased family member what does that mean.

Answer:

Wa Alaikum As Salaam,

If you are having good dreams about them, in which you are seeing them in a good state, then this may be a sign that they are in a good state in the hereafter.

If you see them in a bad state or in a state of suffering etc., then this may be a sign that their state in the hereafter may not be a good one.

And Allah knows best,
