Riyad as-Salihin 841 (Book 4, Hadith 29) #37330
The Power of Dreams

SUMMARY: Dreams can be from Allah or the Satan, and if one has a bad dream they should seek refuge in Allah and blow on their left side to protect themselves.

Abu Qatadah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet said, "A good vision (dream) is from Allah and a bad dream is from the Satan. He who sees something in a dream that he dislikes, should blow thrice on his left, must seek Allah's Refuge from the evil of the Satan (ie, by saying: A'udhu billahi minash-Shaitanir-Rajim). Then it will not harm him". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن أبى قتادة رضى الله عنه قال‏:‏ قال النبي ‏:‏ ‏ "‏الرؤيا الصالحة -وفى رواية‏:‏ الرؤيا الحسنة- من الله، والحلم من الشيطان، فمن رأى شيئاً يكره فلينفث عن شماله ثلاثاً، وليتعوذ من الشيطان فإنها لا تضره‏"‏ (( مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيهِ)). ‏النفث‏ ‏ نفخ لطيف لا ريق معه‏.‏
