What do these dreams mean?

THE MEANING OF KUBRA
KÜBRA: THOSE WHO FORSAKE FAITH AND EMBRACE DISCORD SEAL THEIR OWN FATE,
INSISTING ON DENIAL, EVEN A PROPHET'S SON WON'T EVADE DROWNING,
SOULTOUCH SPIRITUALITY
THE GRATEFUL: THE PARABLE OF NOAH'S TEST THROUGH HIS SON,
PARABLE OF NOAH'S TEST THROUGH HIS SON
As the waters began to rise, Noah, peace be upon him,
saw his son, who stood apart, and advised him,
"O son of mine, come aboard,
and reach safety with the rest of the believers,"
"No one can escape drowning today!"
His son replied, "I'll take refuge on a mountain, which will protect me,"
"Today, no one is protected from Allah’s decree
except those to whom He shows mercy," Noah replied,
The waves came between them, and his son was among the drowned,
…in Kağıthane, Büyükçekmece, Sarıyer, Şişli,
Sultangazi, Silivri, and Zeytinburnu,
The power outages in some districts…
-Come in, -Oh, hello, Ms, Dilek,
-Welcome, You shouldn't have bothered, -Thanks, Here,
Oh, it's no bother!
-Is he still in there? -Sleeping, Still sleeping,
Listen, he was like this after he came back from the army too,
-What if he's relapsed? -Oh no, Ms, Dilek,
He's working so hard these days,
He must be tired, I'll check up on him,
Take some fruit with you, Maybe you'll convince him to eat,
He hasn't eaten anything, Not a thing,
Let me help you,
"Do not ask Me of what you don’t know!"
"I warn you so you do not fall into ignorance,"
THE WORD OF GOD SPREADS THROUGH SUFFERING…
And then, Noah, peace be upon him, pleaded,
"My Lord,
I seek refuge in You from asking You about what I have no knowledge of,"
"Unless You forgive me and have mercy on me,
I shall be one of the losers,"
“My Lord,
I seek refuge in You from asking You about what I have no knowledge of,"
"Unless You forgive me and have mercy on me,
I shall be one of the losers,"
MESSENGERS ARE TESTED… THE WORD OF GOD…
Are You going to test me with my beloved?
KÜBRA: YES, UNDOUBTEDLY!
How can this be?
You can see me,
You can hear me,
Test me with whom?
Gökhan,
Sweetie, may I come in?
Merve,
Come in,
Sweetie,
Will you look at me?
What's up with you?
Nothing,
Had a nightmare, Can't shake it off,
That bad? I hope it's a good sign,
Never mind, Let's hope so,
What's that?
Are you writing me a love poem?
Finances, Workshop stuff,
And you?
Why are you here?
I'm worried about you,
It's been three days,
All the work falls on you while Serhat goofs off, right?
And you get exhausted,
And then there's me,
nagging about when you'll ask for my father's blessing,
Come on, have a bite,
You haven't touched it,
No, I don't want to,
Oh, come on,
-Just one bite, Gökhan, -I said I don't want to,
I don't want to,
What's going on?
I text you, and no reply, I call, and no answer,
"He must have a reason," I say, "As long as he's okay,"
I never complain, and now you tell me off like this?
Come here,
I'm sorry,
I love you so much, You know, right?
I love you too, Gökhan, So much,
Sweetheart…
Did something happen?
Like what?
I don't know, Please look at me,
Is there anything you'd like to tell me?
No,
There's nothing,
Okay,
Okay, then,
Get ready, We're going out,
-Can I just stay home? -You can't, Gökhan,
You haven't left in days, Come on, no objections,
Okay,
Sure,
Let me take a shower,
Okay, I'll be waiting in there,
KÜBRA: YES, UNDOUBTEDLY…
MIGHTY - ARROGANCE - GREAT - GRAVE
Got a chance to ask what's up with him?
Did he say anything? What is it?
You know, the workshop, work…
What workshop? What work?
There is something else,
Something is up with him,
but I don't know what,
I'm his mother, I can tell, It's not that,
-Could it be… -What?
The anniversary of Mr, Nihat's passing,
He was too preoccupied with Gülcan to grieve,
Maybe the pain surfaced just now,
Are you up, honey?
No, Mom, I'm still asleep, This is my ghost,
Hello, Merve,
Hello, sweetie,
Don't tell your brother,
I'd actually quit, but I just felt like having one,
No, why would she? She wouldn't,
Come on, Have some breakfast,
Gülcan,
-Good morning, -Son?
Let me pour you some tea,
…it could be any known terrorist organization,
Look, some underestimate the incident because it was just for 15 minutes,
That is not right,
You were gonna take a shower,
Gökhan?
Gökhan? You were gonna take a shower,
Changed my mind,
Here,
-Yeah, we're not used to these outages, -He couldn't object of course,
-Gökhan? Are you listening? -Huh?
-Did you say something? -No, never mind,
Stop suppressing it,
The more you do, the worse it gets,
Just let go, Live your pain, Scream, yell, cry out loud…
I don't understand,
Sweetheart, it's been almost two years since you lost your father,
You forgot yourself taking care of Gülcan,
You couldn't catch a break,
Yes, you're right,
You're right,
I know exactly how you feel, Gökhan,
It's been years since I lost my mother,
but whenever that day comes, I can't help feeling bad,
Gökhan, you're a very strong person,
You're so selfless,
Gülcan was in shambles,
but you took her to doctors and therapists,
and now, she's clinging to life,
I'm so proud of you,
Gülcan is everything to me,
I'd never let her get hurt,
Gotta go to the bathroom,
ALİS BAKERY
-So, Dad? -Sweetie,
How do you feel?
I'm very happy, honey,
Aw, Nice haircut, Gökhan,
Sure, mock me,
-It's delicious, -Enjoy,
-With my greasy lips… -Yes, kiss her!
Ooh!
So greasy… Give me that bag,
Oh, you rascal!
-Dad? -Honey?
Come join us,
Then who's gonna record all this?
Excuse me, sir?
-To remember it by, right? -Yes, okay,
-Daddy, -Sunshine,
-Picture or video? -Video,
GÜLCAN: SERHAT, WHERE ARE YOU? WHY AREN'T YOU ANSWERING YOUR PHONE?
Dad?
Never listens to me,
'Cause she's young…
Sir, will you make a statement about the outage?
As part of the investigation into the power outage,
207 individuals have been taken into custody,
and around power plants, dams, and specific transformers,
security measures were heightened,
-Sir, one more question… -A moment,
Did you take it?
-Did I take what? -You know what,
Tell me, where did you put it? Huh?
Where is it, Mom?
I smoked it, Puffed it away, It's all gone,
You wouldn't dare do that,
Where did you hide it?
Tell me!
You think holding onto this one cigarette will keep your father alive?
Is this how you console yourself?
Here you go, Take it,
What does that mean?
-What do you mean? -Nothing,
Tell me what you meant, You can't run away this time,
Spit it out already!
Just say it! Say it was my fault,
Say my father died because of me!
He wasn't just your father!
He was also my husband!
My husband!
What is it this time?
I could hear you from down the street,
-Gülcan? -What do you think?
-It's our daily routine, -Where are you going?
-Please move, -Gülcan!
-I didn't say a thing, -You have,
No, I haven't, Enough! Let me go,
-Where are you going, Mom? -Out, Let me go, Move!
Mom!
Gülcan!
Gülcan, wait up!
Mom, where are you going?
Gülcan!
Gülcan, please, stop for a second,
What's going on? Tell me,
What happened?
I can't,
You know my father is sick, No one is home,
Can't leave him alone,
Oh, you're so bad!
Fine, but just for an hour,
Okay, I'll get ready,
Dad died because of me,
That's not true, Gülcan,
No, We've talked about this so many times,
Look at me,
Did Mom say something?
She didn't have to,
Sweetie…
No one thinks it's your fault,
Okay? No one,
Please, don't do this,
Come on, Let's go somewhere just the two of us,
I want to be alone for a while,
I'll go for a walk,
-Fine, let's go for a walk together, -Please,
Don't do this to me,
I just wanna spend some time with my friends, okay?
Gülcan,
God, please tell me something,
Please…
The steps you've taken, how far you've walked,
the distance of each step, your pulse, your blood pressure…
Right in this watch, on your wrist,
Yet, your heart matters most,
The slightest arrhythmia, the tiniest issue,
this watch'll alert you to it,
Listen to your heart,
It will reveal the truth,
Ooh, if it isn't Master Gökhan! You've let yourself out on parole, huh?
CAR REPAIR SHOP
Go on inside,
Here, boss,
Salih?
-Yeah? -What's up with the boss?
What is it to you? Go back to work,
Gökhan,
What's wrong?
Go home if you're not feeling well, Leave it to us,
Gökhan,
Gökhan!
Dude, aren't we friends?
Tell me what bothers you,
You know how I told you I've been getting some messages?
Oh, yeah… Kübra, was it?
And? You said you'd blocked her,
I couldn't,
I can't,
Dude, I thought something bad happened,
I was worried sick--
Stop eavesdropping, Go on,
Go!
Are you in love with her?
-Take that back! -Sorry!
Kübra isn't human,
Kübra is something else,
Really? Is she that beautiful?
Like, "If she's human, what are we?"
Psst,
You dipping in other waters?
Be careful, It'll be bad if Merve catches you,
Dude, did Merve already catch you?
Oh, fuck!
That's why you're like this, What did she do? Left you, huh?
-Where are you going? -Let go,
-Listen… -I said let go!
Gökhan, listen to your heart!
It will reveal the truth,

Dad?
Dad!
Come on…
Could you send an ambulance urgently?
To Ormancılar,
Dad!
What happened?
Dad! No! Dad!
Dad!
It's done,
-Thank you, -You're welcome,
-How much do I owe you? -Fifty liras,
Fifty,
Okay, Hodja, You're right,
Maybe He didn't let Abraham sacrifice his own son,
But he wasn't the only one to be tested,
Noah, for instance,
Why did He let Noah's son drown in the flood?
-Because he was a sinner? -No, Listen,
We can't know what God intends to do,
Our discernment and comprehension are limited,
Let me put it this way, Gökhan,
Everything has
a conspicuous, or a visible side,
and an inconspicuous, or a hidden side,
We only see what God wants us to see,
grasp what He wants us to grasp,
I get it, Hodja, I do,
But doesn't He also say, "I gave you a mind"?
And don't all holy books proclaim, "Only God can take the life He has given"?
Doesn't He forbid suicide and murder?
Gökhan…
As I've said,
understanding God's will is beyond our minds' limited capacity,
We're only human,
We make mistakes,
But God… What do we say? We say "Allahu Akbar," right?
God is absolute,
And the truth lies in having faith in Him,
-Okay? -True,
Okay, then, Hodja,
-Sorry, I took so much of your time, -Don't mention it,
You can take as much of my time whenever you want, Gökhan,
-Okay? -Thanks, Hodja,
Oh, Gökhan…
All these questions and all we've talked about…
Is this about that Kübra?
May God keep you on the right path,
You hear me,
No matter where I am, You hear me and see me,
Forgive me,
I lost my resolve,
I questioned Your wisdom,
Please, don't turn Your back on me,
Forgive me,
I embrace whatever You send my way,
KÜBRA: MESSENGERS ARE TESTED THROUGH THEIR BELOVED,
THE WORD OF GOD SPREADS THROUGH SUFFERING…
KÜBRA: WHEN THE TIME FOR YOUR TRIAL COMES, WILL YOU TURN AWAY FROM GOD?
KÜBRA: OR WILL YOU BE ONE OF THOSE WHO PERSEVERE?
I will, God,
I will persevere,
I will embrace Your judgment,
KÜBRA: THEN IT IS TIME,
Gülcan?
KÜBRA: SILENCE IMPLIES CONSENT
KÜBRA: WHEN TRIAL COMES, PERSEVERE, EMBRACE, AND SHOW SELFLESSNESS,
No!
No, don't…
Will you forgive me when I join you, Dad?
Don't, Gülcan!
It's not your fault, sunshine,
Dad?
If you love me, live, my beautiful girl,
Dad?
You'll live a wonderful life,
Only then can my soul find peace,
I love you, sunshine,
I love you,
I love you so much, Dad,
I love you too, So much!
Dad…
Gülcan!
Gökhan?
Gülcan!
-Gökhan! -Gülcan!
Gülcan!
Gökhan!
Dad spoke to me,
He spoke to me!
I know, sweetie,
God…
God, thank You for sparing her,
Thank You,
Are you okay, son?
Gökhan, come on, speak,
You're scaring us, Say something,
I know I've been acting weird the last few days,
I know you're worried about me,
But there's a reason,
And I wanted to share it with you first,
-Say it already, -What is it?
God speaks to me,
