Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "If anyone sees a pleasant dream, he should relate it and also explain its interpretation, and if he sees an unpleasant dream, he should neither relate it nor explain its interpretation."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Dreams are of three types: glad tidings from Allah, thoughts from the self, and frightening (dreams) from Satan. When a person sees a pleasant dream, he may relate it, and if he sees an unpleasant dream, he should not relate it to anyone and should stand up and pray."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, who says that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When any person sees a disliked dream, he should change the side on which he was lying, spit three times to his left, ask Allah for the good of that (dream), and seek refuge from its evil."

Abu Sufyan (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), he says that a man came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was delivering a sermon. He said: O Messenger of Allah! Last night I saw a dream that my neck was cut off, my head fell and rolled away, I followed it, caught it, and put it back in its place. (What do you think about this dream?) In response, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled and said: "When Satan plays with someone in his sleep, he should not relate (such a dream) to the people."
