Assalamualaikum Brother Martial Artist:

Yes, I did the Salat ul Istikhara several times. It's kind of crazy.... I've been seeing some things in the dreams which show some good signs for this which is kind of crazy. I've only shared these dreams with one of my really close friends and he said that I should put my faith in Allah and to remain patient. I'll give you 1 dream that I had out of the many dreams that I had: in one dream that I had just this past January, I had a dream where these brothers were randomly arguing about something (thats the bad part... obviously fighting is never good). However, it was strange, in the next second, I saw my sister on the left side, along with the sister I wish to marry on the right talking to each other. The next thing I see is a Moon and a Sun with the moon on the right hand side with a large ocean and a sun on my left.

To start off, the next day, I actually talked to the brother and he said he was (unfortunately) in an argument with his brother over some personal matters. To have something like that happen just out of coincidence is crazy (or at least to me, the feeling was a little scary).

Also, according to some stuff from Ibn Sirin (who I was told was a very spiritual being that was trusted for various dream interpretations, but then again, he was not a prophet/messenger or anything like that, so his knowledge is not always concrete) said the Moon in a dream represents your potential spouse and the ocean is supposed to represent your progeny. Mind you these were all different things. In another dream, the sister was helping me climb over a wall and in another, she opened a door in the mosque that lead to the Wudu area, and over there, I made Wudu. There were MANY more dreams. These could all be dreams of the Nafs, but only Allah knows how/why something that specific could be coincidental. Only Allah knows best.
