The essence and first answer at a glance (60-word summary)

Yes. It is preferable to seek the interpretation of dreams that are clearly not merely confused or disturbing dreams. If one is unable to arrive at an interpretation, one should ask God Almighty for a good interpretation and pray to Him for its meaning, so that through divine inspiration one may discern what is truly intended.

Yes! One should persevere, seeking help from God Most High, until the dream is interpreted. If one is unable to arrive at an interpretation, one should still beseech the gracious God for the best interpretation and ask Him to disclose its meaning and significance, so that through His divine inspirations we may come to know what is truly right. It is recommended to recite Supplication 33 of al-Ṣaḥīfa al-Sajjādiyya, along with the supplication that follows it.
