It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) met Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked: O Abu al-Hasan, a person sees dreams, some of which are true and some false; what is the reality of this? He replied: Yes, I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "There is no man or woman who sleeps and whose sleep becomes deep but that his soul is raised towards the Throne. The soul that reaches the Throne (before waking), its dream is true; and the soul that wakes before reaching the Throne, its dream is false."
