Are recurring dreams involving masturbation or related acts, which cause distress and sadness upon waking, from God and a form of guidance from Him?

Repentance from the unlawful is obligatory, even if it does not harm one's health, because repentance is a right upon the servant, and there is a fear that it may not have been performed as required. Repentance might be accused of weakness, of returning to sin, and of thinking about the pleasure of disobedience. As for dreams, no legal rulings are built upon them, and their interpretation might be contrary to their apparent meaning. Therefore, never practice masturbation again after you have been cured of it.
