1- The visions I see are not daydreams or pre-sleep or between sleep and wakefulness fantasies, but visions that come to me while I am asleep.
2- The visions that I see, I wake up suddenly after the end of the vision, not in stages, and my eyes become open as if I am in the middle of the day and I remember the vision in all its details and often do not fall asleep afterwards.
3- The vision remains stuck in my mind for many years and I keep remembering it and do not forget it as happens with ordinary dreams, there are visions that I remember since 1992 and I remember their details accurately.
4- I try as much as possible to sleep in ablution. This does not mean that visions can only come to me in ablution, as I have had several visions while not sleeping in ablution.
5- Before going to bed, I recite Surah Al-Fatiha, Ayah Al-Kursi, the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah, recite Surah Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq and Al-Nas three times, and pray to the Prophet (peace be upon him).
6- The supplication I say before going to sleep is: "O God, I have entrusted my spirit, soul and body to You while I sleep, so do not let the devil lead me astray.
7- Most of the visions I see are not preceded by an Istikhara prayer in which I ask Allah (SWT) for something specific.
8- Visions are a blessing from Allah (SWT) that He bestows on His servants and have nothing to do with the number of acts of worship a person performs. I do not see myself at the pinnacle of religiosity, there are those who are much better than me and there are disbelievers and reprobates who have seen visions, such as Pharaoh.
