The question

Why do I repeatedly see funerals, the dead, and graves, as well as snakes and scorpions in my dreams, given my suffering in life matters and my feelings of loss and fear, and is this related to my moving away from God?

The answer

We have no knowledge of dream interpretation. Recurring dreams may be self-talk or intimidation from Satan. Dreams are of three types: a righteous vision from Allah, a distressing vision from Satan, and a vision of what one says to oneself.

Our advice is to turn your thoughts away from these dreams and occupy yourself with what benefits you in matters of religion and worldly life.

Remembering death is a good thing if it is done in moderation, as it encourages acts of obedience. One must beware of anything that embitters life and leads to despair of Allah's mercy.

Feeling pain or inclining towards perversion could be due to psychological stress or satanic influence. Resisting this feeling is a sign of faith.

What happened does not necessarily mean Allah is displeased; it could be a trial and a sign of Allah's love. Resume your life and strive in obedience to your Lord, perform night prayers, recite the Quran, and engage in remembrance of Allah.
