In the name of God, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful

It is mentioned in verse (30:23): "And among His signs (ayat) is your sleeping (manam) [and seeing dreams] during the night and the day and your seeking His grace in the day. Verily there are signs in this for those who [carefully] hearken."

Manam means sleep, dream18; ayah (pl. ayaat) means sign, command, miracle.19

Thus, there are God's signs in dream, namely the miracles of God. The miracles of dreams are the miracles of the external and internal worlds (41:53). Their ultimate purpose is oneness and recognition of the One/Unifier, the Subduer and nothing else.
