Travelling towards my grave.

I hope now you are clear about prayer times, with the help of other brothers and sisters.
As per bad dreams, yes I too have that problem in the first days of Ramadan in almost all the years. But different from yours.
All the bad dreams we see are from Shatan. We have the solution for this problem, thought by our prophet (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam).
Narrated Abu Qatada: The Prophet said, "A true good dream is from Allah, and a bad dream is from Satan."
We should be very careful not to tell anybody about our bad dreams.
Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri: The Prophet said, "If anyone of you sees a dream that he likes, then it is from Allah, and he should thank Allah for it and narrate it to others; but if he sees something else, i.e., a dream that he dislikes, then it is from Satan, and he should seek refuge with Allah from its evil, and he should not mention it to anybody, for it will not harm him."
When we see a bad deram, we should change our side which we were sleeping. (If we were on left, we should turn right). Then we should spit 3 times to our left (its okey in having dry spitting) after saying, A'oodhu Billahi Minashshaitaanirrajeem (I seek refuge in Allah from the cursed Shatan). InshaAllah then it will not affect us badly as said by Rasoolullah (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam).

As salamo alaikome....
Of course everyone else is having a great first day of Ramadan but my luck is typical for me. The fasting part is ok I just ate BEFORE Fajr this time like I am supposed to but then I found that the paper I got out of my email (which was sent to me by the masjid in my own area) has all the wrong times on it. In fact it is showing Asr prayer to be ONE HOUR LATER than what the normal time should be.
I usually get my prayer times off the website "Islamicfinder.org" and those are the times I have been following ever since I took my shahada. That is the same website I got my adhan from which I have downloaded to my computer so it goes off at the prayer times. Anyway the email that I got from the masjid in my area has all different prayer times and they added sahoor and iftar times on it which is the reason I chose to print it and follow it. Then after I began the fast this morning I was looking at the paper I printed out and I compared it to the adhan on my computer and realized the times are all off. So now Im very confused why the masjid in my area has different times than the adhan I downloaded and which I have been following all this time.
Another thing that happened today is that after I fasted and prayed and read Quran I fell back to sleep since I had the morning job off today (alhamdulillah) and I had nothing but bad dreams that kept waking me up! One of the dreams was that I was in a restaurant and I drank ALCOHOL (which I never even did BEFORE I was Muslim) then after I drank it I remembered my fast and thats when I woke up!!!!! Terrible dreams! Why is this happening to me on my first Ramadan??? I come here and read how happy everyone else is and I feel like Im a failure and Ramadan has just BEGUN!!!!!!
Sorry to complain. Its not the fasting that is bothering me obviously. THAT part is the easiest.......its all the rest making me feel bad! WHY?
