Is it permissible to alter the content of a dream addressed to one's father to avoid his reaction, or must he be told verbatim what the grandfather said in the dream?

Dreams do not establish legal rulings. However, it is recommended to convey the deceased's will from a dream to the father, as it contains an emphasis on the obligation to follow the path of good and abandon the path of evil. This is a religious duty under the principle of enjoining good and forbidding evil. Gentleness should be used in offering advice, along with frequent prayers for his guidance.
