The dead coming back to life in a dream: what does it mean in Islam?

Coming back to life, or seeing a deceased person come back to life, in a dream points to finding strength again and looking at life with hope. In the classical interpretation, dying and coming back to life is interpreted as wealth after poverty, or repentance.

The symbols in your dream

• Seeing yourself die and come back to life: Points to ease after hardship, or repentance.
• A late mother or father coming back to life: Points to near relief after hardship.
• Coming out of a grave: Points to repentance and turning a new page.
• The revived person speaking: Points to their words in the dream being true; heed what they say.
• A traveller seeing this dream: Points to returning safely from the journey.

In short

A dream of coming back to life is a hopeful dream. If you have long felt tired and hopeless, you are entering a period in which you will find strength again and look at life positively. If you saw a deceased loved one come back to life, keep praying for them; the dream is glad tidings of relief for you.

Advice

Allah knows best the truth of dreams.
