It is very difficult to read and understand your English. Do me a favor, next time, take your time to correct common grammatical patterns in your writing and avoid using slang. Thank you.
As far as asking for anything from anyone is concerned, you are absolutely right. Read the following ayahs from the Quran and spread the word:
Quran –: ” I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he cries to Me.” Surah2, ayah no 186
“Those to whom you pray beside Him, do not own even white spot on date-stone” — 35: 13;
“They cannot hear your prayer- cannot grant it – on Day of Resurrection, they’d disown you” — 35: 14;
No one should be prayed to, asked for help and can grant you anything except the One who created you. Muslims’ read this ayah in every prayer daily yet do not ponder over its meaning:
Surah Fahtiah ayah 5 ” eeya ka nahbadou, wa eeyaka nastaeen” meaning that ” You (Allah) alone we worship and will continue to do so in future, You ( Allah) alone we ask for help and will continue doing so in future”. ——In Arabic, present and past tenses are joined together.
Now, remember tell your friend this just once. If she doesn’t believe, leave her alone. Allah will guide her in His own way. Your job is to correct your own faith and follow a straight path laid by Hazrat Ibrahaim a,s. and Rasul Allah s.a.w.
OK, back to your dream. As you said you had prayed to Allah to put love of Rasul Allah s,a,w in your heart and Allah heard your prayer and that’s why this dream was grated to you. It is a blessing for any person to see our prophet s.a.w. in the dream. Do not ever doubt that you have seen him or not. The best thing for you to do now is to continue sending him salutations though Allah. I highly recommend using Darooday abraheemi. But if that is lengthy, then use the short version ” Allaha huma Sallaay Allah Muhammad wa baarak Wasalam” 10 times after every fard ( obligatory) prayer. You will inshallah have the love of Rasul Allah in your heart and may Allah grant you with many more dreams in which Rasul Allah s.a.w guide you with love and compassion. Aameen ya Rabulaalameen.
Wasalamualikum
