Seeking Refuge from Unwanted Dreams

Jabir reported Allah's Messenger  as saying: If anyone sees a dream which he does not like, he should spit on his left side three times, and seek refuge with Allah from the Satan three times, and let him turn over from the side on which he was sleeping.

Sahih Muslim 2262 (Book 42, Hadith 8) 

QUICK LESSONS:
Spitting on your left side 3x and seeking refuge with Allah 3x when having an unwanted dream

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that if we have a dream that we do not like or find disturbing, we should take certain steps to protect ourselves. We should first spit on our left side three times as this is believed to ward off any evil spirits or bad dreams. Then we must seek refuge with Allah from the Satan three times as this will help us feel safe and secure. Finally, it is recommended that we turn over onto our other side in order to get back into a peaceful sleep. By following these steps, it is believed that one can protect themselves from any unwanted dreams or nightmares.
