What are the types of dreams?

According to the belief of Islam, there are three categories of dreams in terms of their source:

1. Dreams from Allah: These are called true dreams. They have realistic useful meanings that could apply to the life of a Muslim dreamer. Sometimes, non-Muslims can have true dreams too.

2. Dreams from the devil: These are bad dreams or nightmares that have no meaning and just meant to sadden or intimidate the dreamer.

3. Mental dreams: In the belief of Islam, these are literally called self-speech. They could be some trivial reflection of usual life incidents or thoughts. These dreams have no true meanings too.

These types of dreams were mentioned in the sayings of the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), which are these source of this article.
