Sunan Ibn Majah 3908 (Book 35, Hadith 16) #33262
Warding Off Bad Dreams

SUMMARY: Spitting dryly to the left three times and seeking refuge with Allah from Satan three times can help one ward off bad dreams.

It was narrated from Jabir bin 'Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah said: "If anyone of you sees a dream that he dislikes, let him spit dryly to his left three times and seek refuge with Allah from Satan three times, and turn over onto his other side".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ـ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمُ الرُّؤْيَا يَكْرَهُهَا فَلْيَبْصُقْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ ثَلاَثًا وَلْيَسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ ثَلاَثًا وَلْيَتَحَوَّلْ عَنْ جَنْبِهِ الَّذِي كَانَ عَلَيْهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that if we have a bad dream or something that we don't like in our dream then we should spit dryly to our left side three times and seek refuge with Allah from Satan three times. We should also turn over onto our other side. This is a way of warding off bad dreams and seeking protection from the devil. It is important to remember that this action alone will not guarantee protection but it is an act of faith in Allah's power and mercy which can help us feel more secure.
