That is how the Moslem religion encourages its followers to look at dreams. It is obvious that the Moslem religion wants to suggest that not all dreams are of equal value. It implies that a dreamer should give greater weight to the significance of a dream from a "good" source.
Now when the writings of the Moslem religion talk about the source of dreams, those writings do not make it clear how anyone can easily identify that source. It is not always obvious which dream could be a message from the subconscious and which could be a message with a higher origin. For that reason, the Moslem leaders tend to have the last say regarding the interpretation of dreams.
It is for that reason that certain religious differences have arisen within one Middle Eastern country. In one such country a prophecy made more than 160 years ago has been declared a fraud. That prophecy was based largely upon a dream. That prophecy had some of the features found in a present-day prophecy. The more recent prophecy was also revealed in a dream.
Both prophecies talked about the coming of a 12th Imam. The older prophecy, however, suggested that such an Imam would have a special mission. The older prophecy suggested that the 12th Imam would strive to unite the world. The older prophecy proposed creation of a new religion, a religion based on unity.
Now a religion based on unity would not automatically revoke the divine origin of the Moslem religion. Still, such a religion would not set out to convince each person in the world to become a Moslem. It would seem to give less authority to the leaders of the Moslem religion. For that reason, the man who made that prophecy was sent from his country, and he became a life-long prisoner in another land.
Now a government leader, a leader in the country from which that rejected prophecy originated, has made another prophecy. He has claimed that he got a divine message in a dream. He has claimed that he is supposed to prepare his citizens for the return of the 12 Imam.
Since he has not suggested the formation of a new religion, he has had the backing of leaders from the Moslem religion. They have not questioned some of his more outrageous statements. They have not asked why that leader thinks he must create problems, thus setting the scene for the arrival of the awaited Imam.
At a time when many choose to look more closely at the Moslem religion, that one leader has provided a good reason for people to look away, and to turn in a different direction. His speech and actions seem to cancel-out any talk about a Moslem desire to promote unity. Other world leaders have begun to suspect that anyone who would trust the veracity of that one leader's statements must be dreaming.
