Sister nelly I have experienced the same kind of dream, this is how it started off, during my Uni days I used to live alone. Since none of my lectures were are as early as 9am I used to stay up play games or watch movies and do some work in between. One night I was watching some horror movie, I was already twitchy that night for some reason, every little sound alarmed me. I felt as though someone would approach my door any minute to do me harm. That night there was a weird silence, oh yeah I did watch faces of death, that night. I reccomend you dont watch it, cos its real life killing and accidents caught on camera. To add to the effect whenever a gory part was approaching there was an eery sound of a baby crying. That night I felt so alone, I couldnt call anyone from my family they were all abroad, I didnt go because I was at UNI.
I just switched off the light, blocked off any little startling sounds to my ears and fell asleep. The dream I had this is how it got me. I was still thinking I am awake and its almost morning, so I go downstairs to put on the kettle for a cup of coffee. I am waiting for the water to boil when I start hearing voices in the living room. When I got to the living room I saw my whole family was present there. This was very shocking as they were all abroad and they wouldnt just come over without telling me especially over night. That sent me into a shocking and nauseating state, I tried to speak but I couldnt, I tried to breath but felt my brain is shutting down permanently, eventually my eyes closed and sometimes when you switch off a tv or a monitor and you get that white blip in the middle for a while, thats the vision I had. Even though it was a dream I could feel everything as it were real. A bad dream is from shaytan and since hes a jinn too.
Things that attract jinns especially to vulnerable alone women, wearing perfume at night or any scented thing, not having wudhu (ablution), playing music, bad jinns usually hang around in bathrooms so be careful when in bathroom try not to speak, or sing or humm songs, or stare at your face or body for too long in the mirror, dont leave some parts of the house totally abandoned, even if you have to stick Ayat ul kursi and 4 quls around the house, make it a habit to illuminate the house just before maghrib (sunset) instead of staying in the dark, bad jinns in general are attracted to messy and dirty areas, try not to go near trees or prolong standing under a tree at night. Because we cant see jinns, the mischievous ones will become quiet a menace.
Since then I make it a practise to sleep on my right hand side, not on my back or front, although I find sleeping on the left most comfortable, that because all your internal oragans press onto your heart and you feel more lazy and comfortable and sleep longer. Also of course reading Ayah tul kursi and qul's and Surah Fatiah and durood sharif. I usually start reading all the duas I know before going to sleep and without realising I fall asleep.
May Allah SWT protect us all.
