Using prayer beads (tasbih) in a dream: what does it mean in Islam?

Using prayer beads (tasbih) and remembering Allah in a dream is interpreted in the Islamic tradition of dream interpretation as reaching your intended goal with the help of Allah, finding relief after patience, righteous deeds and peace of heart. The order and soundness of the beads also point to your affairs coming into neat order.
