Summary
A dream is an experience during sleep. It may come from a person's memory of past events, from something shown by Allah, or from temptation and mischief of Satan. Because dreams are not certain, a person is not bound to believe them. For a disliked dream, the answer cites a Bukhari hadith advising spitting to the left upon waking and seeking refuge in Allah from its evil.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh kerana mimpi itu bukannya sesuatu yang pasti maka seseorang itu tidaklah terikat untuk mempercayainya.
