D- How To Deal With Different Types Of Dreams:
(1)Dreams from Allah سبحانه و تعالى: There are only two types of instructions.
One are those for dreams that are meaningful (type 1) and those which are for dreams that are meaningless (type 2 and type 3). All the references are there in the bouquet of Ahadith quoted.

(b) Feel Happy about it
(c) Don't talk about it those whom you dislike
(d) Narrate it to someone whom you love or a wise person
(e) Try and Narrate it to your loved one on the morning following the night you saw the dream. or as soon as you see the dream.
(2)Dreams from Shaitan OR (3)Dreams from Nafs:
These are useless dreams and on having these we are advised to :
(a) Seek refuge with Allah سبحانه و تعالى from the evil of the dream
(b) Seek refuge with Allah سبحانه و تعالى from the evil of Shaitan
(c) Spit to his left three times (without saliva) on waking up
(d) Say two voluntary rakah on waking up
(e) Ask Allah سبحانه و تعالى for a good dream
(f) Turn over the side on which you were lying previously
(g) Not mention it to anyone
(h) Have a firm belief that it was a meaningless dream and it will not harm you
(i) Don't let it occupy your mind at all
