3910. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "If anyone of you sees a dream that he dislikes, let him turn over and spit dryly to his left three times, and ask Allâh for its good and seek refuge from its evil." (Sahih)
3910 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنِ الْعُمَرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ رُؤْيَا يَكْرَهُهَا، فَلْيَتَحَوَّلْ وَلْيَتْفُلْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ ثَلَاثًا، وَلْيَسْأَلِ اللَّهَ مِنْ خَيْرِهَا، وَلْيَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّهَا»

a. Bad dreams are from Satan, so the way to get rid of the inconvenience they cause is saying (I seek refuge with Allâh). b. The wisdom in spitting to the left side is that this side suits Satan, and he comes from that side to whisper evil in hearts. c. Shifting the side is an external change in the position of the body that indicates having trust in the mercy of Allâh to change his internal situation from anxiety to peace and comfort.
