א. לַחֲלוֹם רָע תּאמַר בַּבּקֶר: הַחֲלוֹמוֹת שָׁוְא יְדַבֵּרוּ.

After a nightmare, a person should say: “Dreams are meaningless” (Zekhariah 10:2).

ב. לַחֲלוֹם טוֹב תּאמַר בִּלְשׁוֹן תְּמִיהָה: וְכִי חֲלוֹמוֹת שָׁוְא יְדַבֵּרוּ וְהָא כְּתִיב: "בַּחֲלוֹם אֲדַבֶּר בּוֹ".

After a good dream, a person should rhetorically ask: “Are dreams meaningless? Is it not written, ‘I will speak to [the prophet] in a dream’” (Numbers 12:6)?

ג. הַצָּנוּעַ בְּבֵית־הַכִּסֵּא – חֲלוֹמוֹתָיו מְיֻשָּׁבִין עָלָיו.

When a person behaves modestly in the bathroom, his dreams have a calming effect.

ד. עַל־יְדֵי הַדִּבּוּר רָע עַל אֵיזֶה צַדִּיק מֵת מַרְאִין לוֹ חֲלוֹמוֹת מְבהָלִין.

The aleph bet book, translated by Moshe Mykoff. New York: Breslov Research Institute, 1986

Speaking badly about a Tzaddik who is no longer alive causes one to have disturbing dreams.

ה. מִי שֶׁרוֹאֶה חֲלוֹמוֹת מְבהָלִין, זֶה סִימָן לְבֵן אוֹ תַּלְמִיד שֶׁיַּקְדִּיחַ תַּבְשִׁילוֹ בָּרַבִּים.

Disturbing dreams indicate that either a person’s son or student will disgrace himself in public.
