What one should do when he sees a dream he dislikes or one that pleases him

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it better for the person who sees a dream to relate it, whether it is good or bad? And what is the evidence for that?

Answer:
If a person sees something he dislikes, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) guided him to do certain things that will not harm him. First, he should turn to the other side from the side on which he was sleeping. Second, he should spit dryly on his left side three times. It is established that he should make du'a and recite the end of the verse of the Throne, Surat al-Ikhlas, and the two chapters of seeking refuge (al-Mu'awwidhatan). He should not be deceived by it, nor should he tell anyone about it, nor should he interpret it; rather, he should leave it alone and not be deceived by it. As for if he sees a good dream, he should mention it to people and interpret it. If it is a difficult dream, it is because it is among the good omens, so he should interpret it, respond with good, and mention it to his loved ones who believe.
