For many people, dreams are a signal from Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) and can be interpreted as a message from one's subconscious or Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى). Dreams are considered to be a source of communication from Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) to His people. Good dreams are from Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى), and bad dreams are from the whisperings of the devil. Upon seeing a good or bad dream, one should pray for their protection and wellness, but when one sees a bad dream, they should seek refuge in Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) from the evil. Not all dreams are true, and instead of heading in a direction that weakens one faith to interpret these dreams, one should put their entire faith in Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) and seek for good rather than dwelling on the negatives.
According to the sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), when one sees a bad dream, one should spit to their left three times and seek refuge in Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) for his protection against the evil. It is also advised not to speak about a bad dream to anyone [Hisn al-Muslim 114]. Upon seeing a good or bad dream, one should get up and pray by offering 2 rakah nafl prayers and making abundant supplication for protection and good provision.
Morning & Evening Duas

Making supplication upon seeing a good or bad dream can prevent one from falling into the spiral of overthinking. Offering dua after a good or a bad dream can help one stay grounded and understand that Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) is the only One who controls what happens in our life. If one is making dua upon seeing a bad dream, supplication can help reduce anxiety and channel your energy into praying for good and protect you from any negative influences of the bad dream. On the other hand, having a good dream can help develop a positive outlook.
