What does one do if she sees in her dream what she dislikes?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : No, this questioner says that she dreamed that a snake was chasing her. It startled her. Knowing that the same dream had repeated itself, then stopped, and then returned to her in Makkah, what should she do?
I am one of those who interpret dreams, but I do not know how to interpret this one. However, I advise my brother listeners to follow what our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) guided us to, where he said:
If any of you sees in his dream what he dislikesإذا رأى أحدكم في منامه ما يكره
As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 64:1312
Let him spit to his left three times and say: I seek refuge
in Allah from the severity of Shaytanبالله من شد الشيطان
and from the severity of his illness. I seek refuge
with Allah from the mischief of the Satanبالله من شر الشيطان
Sahih Muslim 2261g
, and
from the evil of what I sawمن شر ما رأيت
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 25:80
, and I will not make the other sin.
And let him say, let him perform wudu, let him pray, and let him not show it to anyone, for then it will not harm him.وليقل وليتوضأ وليصل ولا يبصر بذلك أحدا فإن ذلك لا يضره.
How many times? For the one who sees what he dislikes, he should get up and spit to his left three times, and say: I seek refuge in Allah from the evil of Shaytan and from the evil of what I saw, and turn over to the other side, perform wudu, and pray two rak'ahs, and not tell anyone about it, to the right with. To the other side, to the left. If he is on the right, he turns to the left; if he is on the left, he turns to the right.
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then it will not harm him. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: We used to see dreams we disliked and we would chew them for days. When this hadith reached us, meaning we dealt with it, they understood from these problems that occur to them when they see what they dislike. Accordingly, whoever sees a dream he dislikes should do what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) guided to, and after that, what he saw will not harm him. This questioner asks: How do I return the salam to someone who greeted me while I am praying?
