Dreams are 1/46 of Prophethood; what are the remaining 45/46?

Question

I've read this verse several times that dreams are 1/46 part of Prophethood. Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6614, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2263

What exactly does this mean in relation to the number 46, or more precisely, what is the remaining 45/46?

Most likely the matter is similar to https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/33150/13438. Further more to answer this one needs to be a prophet or angel or have authentic reports from a prophet. — Medi1Saif, Aug 22 '19 at 19:45

Prophet Muhammad (SAW) did not tell us about the other 46 qualities of a Prophet, it could be Angel Jibreel coming, etc, etc, but we do not know. Hope this helps.

And Allah knows best.
