Question: Frightening Dream
Alsalam Alaykom, I have a question about a dream I saw a long time ago as a child however, this dream was one I saw more than once throughout my life and I feel as though this is a reason for a lot of things that have happened throughout my life. I remember I was about 11 years old when this first occurred and I was running it was very dark I remember something or someone running after me as I turned around I was surrounded by a very large and frightening pig in which was red and around it were a lot of black dogs barking and they were very angry I woke up after this frightened and scared.

الجواب حامداومصليا

Seeing a bad or frightening dream one should blow three times on his left and seek refuge in Allah from the rejected Shaitan and change the side on which one was lying. Also bad dreams do not have any meanings.

Saaiduna Jabir raḍyAllāhu 'anhu (may Allāh be pleased with him) reports that the Prophet of Allah ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam said, “When one of you sees a bad dream let him blow three times on his left, seek refuge in Allah from the Satan three times (i.e., by saying: A`udhu billahi minash-Shaitanir-Rajim) and change the side on which he was lying.” (Sahih Muslim)

And Allah knows best
