Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
The dreams you are experiencing are from Shaitaan. Do not get frightened by such dreams, they are harmless and have no significance. Try your best to ignore and overlook such dreams.
In future, you may adopt the following practices on experiencing such dreams:
- Seek protection in Allah from the evil of the dream and Shaitaan.
- Spit lightly to the left thrice.
- Change your direction of sleep and turn over to the other side.
- Recite “laa hawla wa la quwwata illaa billah”.
- Do not mention the dream to anyone.
- Give some charity.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
