Question
I want to get married, Insha Allah, with a Moroccan girl but I have one problem: she told me about a dream on June 1996 where she saw that she get married with the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). She saw that he smiled to her as his wife. She get up and she opened the Holy Qur'an by chance, in Surah Al-Ahzab where it talks about Prophet's wives. Last year, in the night of a Friday, she dreamt that the Prophet (SAW) called her by phone. She talked to him first and her father second. Then the Prophet hung up the phone and he called her mother. She hung up the phone, too and the Prophet said to her "Ma Balouki Foulana". She told him about her first dream and the Prophet said that it was the truth, she is his wife. She got up at Fajr time. She felt good after that. She wants to know the meaning of her 2 dreams.
Answer
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the World; and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.
Seeing the Prophet now is impossible except for the people who have read or heard many times the characteristics of the Prophet so that they could describe him with precision when asked to do so. If one of these people sees the Prophet in a dream this is authentic if the person he has seen matches the descriptions of the Prophet.
So, if this woman knows the characteristics of the Prophet and if what she has seen matches those characteristics then her dream is true because the Prophet said: "Whoever sees me while sleeping (in a dream) he has indeed seen me because the Satan can not represent me".(Bukhari)
So, if this woman has had a true dream of the Prophet "marrying him" is interpreted as following his Sunnah and sticking to it and being like The Mothers of the Believers in their behavior and deeds. But if this woman describes the Prophet with a description that does not match his in reality, then what she has seen is an allusion from Satan.
Allah knows best.
