Wa Alaikum Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, dear brother Sifat. May Allah ease the heaviness in your chest, grant you the coolness of your eyes in a righteous spouse, and bless you with His love and vision in the Hereafter. Ameen! Before Explaining, I have one question I have written in the end of the Interpretation. That would be nice if you answer that. I will try to explain it in detail so you understand it well. When we look at a dream through the wisdom and principles of Imam Ibn Sirin, we never just look at the objects in the sky or on the earth—we look at the heart of the person dreaming them. At 20 years old, you are standing at the very threshold of your adult life, carrying deep spiritual desires alongside very heavy mental exhaustion. Your dream is a direct mirror of this exact inner state, and it actually holds a great deal of comfort for you. Standing by the Village Riverbank in the Quiet Evening In the tradition of Ibn Sirin, a river represents the flow of your life, your provision (rizq), and your spiritual momentum. Standing safely on the bank—rather than drowning or struggling in the water—is a very grounded sign. It shows that despite the mental distress you are feeling, your faith is keeping your feet planted on dry, familiar ground (your village). The overcast evening sky and the deep silence reflect the emotional heaviness and loneliness you are currently experiencing. Clouds can symbolize mercy when they bring gentle rain, but a dark, overcast sky at dusk often points to a period of waiting, uncertainty, and sorrow that has temporarily veiled your joy. The Tornado in the Distant Sky Fierce winds and tornadoes in Ibn Sirin’s interpretations represent sudden trials, overwhelming anxieties, or turbulent changes in a person's life. However—and this is the most important detail in your dream—the tornado was in the distance, and it did not touch you or harm you. When a storm is seen far away and the dreamer wakes up before it strikes, it means the worst of what you fear is mostly in your mind and anticipation, or it is a trial that Allah is keeping at bay. It represents the swirling, exhausting thoughts of your mental distress looking much more terrifying on the horizon than what will actually befall you. The Bright Light Moving Rapidly Across the Sky Light (Noor) in the darkness, especially taking the form of the sun or the moon, is one of the most blessed symbols in Islamic dream interpretation. It represents divine guidance, relief after hardship, truth, and the answering of prayers. Furthermore, for a young unmarried man who is actively praying for a spouse, Ibn Sirin often interpreted the moon or a radiant celestial light as a symbol of a righteous, beautiful, and devout marriage partner who brings light into one's life. Why was the light moving rapidly back and forth at the exact same moment the tornado appeared? Because inside your heart right now, there is a tug-of-war between your anxiety (the tornado) and your faith and du'as (the light). The rapid movement of that light shows two things: first, that your own mind is restless and impatient for relief; and second, that Allah’s mercy and the angels carrying the answers to your prayers are actively working behind the scenes to push back against the darkness of that storm. The light did not go out—it stayed bright right in the middle of the overcast sky. Guidance for Your Heart and Next Steps Brother Sifat, this dream is not a warning of doom; it is a reassurance from Allah that He hears your quiet cries. You are standing on the bank waiting for your life to come together, watching your anxieties swirl in the distance, while the light of your du'as is literally flashing across the sky. To help bring stillness to that restless light in your life, hold onto three gentle practices: * Calm the wind with the Prophet’s words: Whenever you feel a wave of mental distress approaching like that tornado, recite the sunnah prayer for when the wind blows: "Allahumma inni as'aluka khayraha, wa a'udhu bika min sharriha" (O Allah, I ask You for its good, and I seek refuge in You from its evil). Remind yourself that no storm moves without His permission, and in your dream, He kept it far from you. * Ground your restless heart: At 20, it is very normal to want everything resolved right now—peace of mind, marriage, and spiritual certainty—which makes the light in your sky dart back and forth anxiously. Anchor yourself by making the Quranic prayer for a spouse your daily habit: "Rabbana hablana min azwajina wa dhurriyyatina qurrata a'yunin waj'alna lil-muttaqina imama" (Surah Al-Furqan, 25:74), and then trust Allah’s timing. You are still standing safely on the riverbank; the boat of marriage will arrive at its written hour. * Seek both spiritual and practical ease: Because you mentioned significant mental distress, remember that seeking peace through prayer and seeking peace through talking to a wise mentor, a counselor, or trusted family go hand in hand in our faith. Do not carry the heavy evening silence all by yourself. May Allah turn that overcast sky into a clear morning for you, replace your anxiety with deep sakinah (tranquility), and grant you the righteous companion your heart is asking for. One Question I would like to ask, When you woke up from the dream, did your heart feel more afraid of the distant storm, or more drawn to the bright light in the sky?

Also let me know if you have any other question. May Allah Bless you brother. Ameen!
