أَعُوذُ بِٱللَّهِ مِنَ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنِ وَمِن شَرِّهَا

A'oodhu billaahi minash shaytaani wa min sharrihaa.

I seek refuge in Allah from the Shaitan (Satan) and from the evil of it (the dream).

Sahih Muslim — Hadith 2261g· Narrated by Abu Salama

Full Hadith

Abu Salama reported:I used to see (such horrible dreams) that I fell ill. I saw Abu Qatada who also said: I used to see dreams which made me sick until I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Good dreams are from Allah, so if any one of you sees which he likes he should not disclose it to one but whom he loves, but if he sees something which he does not like he should spit on his left side thrice and seek refuge with Allah from the mischief of the Satan and its mischief (i.e. of the dream), and he should not relate it to anyone, then it would not harm him.
