3. AFTER HAVING A NIGHTMARE
Upon having a nightmare, recite:
   ܵ          
"With the total words of Allah, I seek protection from His wrath, from His punishment and from the servants evil and from the whispers of Satan and I seek protection from (these) coming to me." (Hisnul Hasin)

ON HAVING A GOOD DREAM, RECITE:
"Alhamdulillah" and relate it to an intimate companion of understanding (So that the companion does not interpret the dream badly). If a person has a bad dream, then spit three times over the left shoulder and turn to the other side or stand up to perform Salaat reciting the following dua three times:
        
"I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan and from the evil of this dream. "The dream will not cause any harm.  (Misjkat, Hisnul Hasin)

Note: It is a great sin to conjure a false dream and narrate it. (Bukhari)
