The Prophet ﷺ said:

الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ مِنَ اللَّهِ فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ مَا يُحِبُّ فَلاَ يُحَدِّثُ بِهَا إِلاَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّ وَإِنْ رَأَى مَا يَكْرَهُ فَلْيَتْفِلْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ ثَلاَثًا وَلْيَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ الشَّيْطَانِ وَشَرِّهَا وَلاَ يُحَدِّثْ بِهَا أَحَدًا فَإِنَّهَا لَنْ تَضُرَّهُ

Ar-ru'yas-salihatu minallahi fa idha ra'a ahadukum ma yuhibbu fala yuhaddithu biha ila man yuhibbu wa in ra'a ma yakrahu falyatfil 'an yasarihi thalathan walyata'awwadh billahi min sharrish-shaytani washarriha wala yuhaddith biha ahadan fa innaha lan tadurrah

A good dream is from Allah. When one of you sees something he likes, let him speak of it only to someone he loves. And if he sees something he dislikes, let him spit lightly to his left three times and seek refuge in Allah from the evil of Satan and from its evil, and let him not tell anyone about it, for then it will not harm him.

He should also seek refuge in Allah from Satan three times and turn over from the side he was lying on.

The Prophet ﷺ said:

فَإِنْ رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ مَا يَكْرَهُ فَلْيَقُمْ فَلْيُصَلِّ وَلاَ يُحَدِّثْ بِهَا النَّاسَ

Fa in ra'a ahadukum ma yakrahu falyaqum falyusalli wala yuhaddith bihan-nas

If one of you sees something he dislikes, let him get up and pray, and let him not speak of it to people.
