From centuries dreams have played important role in human life. Allah SWT (God) has blessed humans with many things and among them are good dreams. In Islam dreams are of great importance and are discussed in detail.
Allah SWT has given us the opportunity to communicate with Him and seek direct guidance. Such dreams are the actual way through which a believer gets his answer and can have spiritual satisfaction. This process of interacting with Allah SWT through dreams is known as 'ISTIKHARA'
In Istikhara Allah SWT guides the believer with different signs. It is narrated that Holy Prophet Mohammad SAW advised his followers to do Istikhara and also appreciates those who do it. He (SAW) said doing Istikhara is a trait of true worshiper and it strengthens his/her beleif and relation with Allah SWT.
The Holy Prophet (SAW) has also told us the method to perform Istikhara, an important thing is the color which one sees during Istikhara dream. Red & Black colors are signs of bad dreams or something that would not be beneficial for the person performing it while Green & White colors are good signs.
The Prophet Mohammad SAW said that good dreams are from Allah while bad dreams are from satan. If someone sees a bad dream he/she should spit thrice on his/her left to avoid any harm (of that bad dream)
It is also advised not to share bad dreams or use bad words to explain someone's dreams.
Good topic but u Didn't mention that 'ISTIKHARA' is a type of "Salat" and its method and its timing.
