Dua after bad dream transliteration.

In Islam, when a person sees a bad or frightening dream, they are taught to respond calmly and spiritually so that fear does not remain in the heart. The guidance from the Sunnah is simple and focuses on turning to Allah, ignoring the dream, and not letting it affect your emotions or decisions.

When you have a bad dream, Islam teaches you to seek protection from Allah and not act upon it.
