HERE ARE 7 THINGS YOU SHOULD DO IF YOU HAVE A NIGHTMARE.

The accursed Shaytan does not refrain from ANY harm that he can cause the children of Adam, even when we are asleep!

The Prophet ﷺ said, “The the evil dream which causes pain is from the satan” (Muslim 2263).

What should you do when you have a bad dream?

1. Know that this dream is from the Shayṭān, so don’t dwell over it. Shayṭān wants you to be concerned and think about it. The way to fight Shayṭān is to put it aside and not think about it. Move on with your life. Fast.

2. Seek refuge in Allāh from the accursed Shayṭān.

The sunnah is to say: a’udhibillahi min al-Shayṭān’l-rajim. Ask Allah to save you from the evil you saw. Immediately you do this, your heart should feel calm. Don't think about it again.

3. Seek refuge in Allāh from the evil of this dream. Say, “O Allah protect me from anything I saw in the dream,” and then put your trust in Allah.

4. Spit dryly to your left three times.

5. Don’t tell anyone about it. Shayṭān wants us to spread negative feelings. As scared as you may be, refrain from doing this because that is exactly what Shayṭān wants you to do.

6. Turn over from the side on which you were sleeping this changes your state.

7. Get up and pray. This reaffirms trust in Allah.
