Answer:

Last two verses of baqarah

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 9.144 Narrated by Abu Huraira

Allah's Messenger (saws) said, "When the Day of Resurrection approaches, the dreams of a believer will hardly fail to come true, and a dream of a believer is one of forty-six parts of Prophetism, and whatever belongs to Prothetism can never be false." Muhammad bin Sirin said, 'There are three types of dreams:

1. The reflection of one's thoughts and experiences one has during wakefulness,
2. what is suggested by the Shaytaan to frighten the dreamer,
3. or glad tidings from Allah.

So, if someone has a dream which he dislikes, he should not tell it to others, but get up and offer a prayer.' "

Dear and beloved brother in Islam, if one has been blessed and honored by their Lord to witness a good dream, then without an iota of a doubt, that dream is one of glad tidings from Allah Subhanah.

A believer who is blessed to witness a dream of glad tidings from Allah Subhanah should recognize the tremendous honor their Lord has blessed them with, be extremely gratefully to their Lord for the honor He has bestowed upon them, and strive their utmost to do more good righteous deeds that would justify the honor that their Lord Most Gracious has bestowed them with.

Jabir reported that the Prophet (saws) said: ‘If someone of you sees an unpleasant dream he should spit three times on his left side and seek Allah's refuge from the accursed Shaytaan, and change the side on which he was lying.'

Reported by Muslim, Abu Daw'ud, Nasa-i, and Ibn Majah.

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 9.168 Narrated by Abu Salama

I used to see a dream which would make me sick till I heard Abu Qatada saying, "I too, used to see a dream which would make me sick till I heard the Prophet (saws) saying, "A good dream is from Allah, so if anyone of you saw a dream which he liked, he should not tell it to anybody except to the one whom he loves, and if he saw a dream which he disliked, then he should seek refuge with Allah from its evil and from the evil of Shaytaan, and spit three times (on his left) and should not tell it to anybody, for it will not harm him."

Your Question: does reading of these 2 ayah`s has to do anything with the bad dreams i get.

Abu Masud reported that the Prophet (saws) said, "If anyone recites the last two verses of Surah al-Baqarah, they will suffice for him,'' (ie, these two verses will bring him a reward equivalent to that of a night prayer, and will safeguard him from any hurt during that night.)

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 2173 Narrated by Jubayr ibn Nufayr

Allah's Messenger (saws) said, "Allah finished Surah al-Baqarah with two verses which I have been given from His Treasures which is under the Throne; so learn them and teach them to your womenfolk, for they are a blessing, a means of approach (to Allah) and a supplication."

The Messenger of Allah (saws) guided the believers to learn and recite the last Verses of the Blessed Surah Al-Baqarah as often as one can, for they bring nothing but rewards and protection from Allah Subhanah.

Beloved Sister, rest absolutely assured that the occurrence of your dreams has absolutely, and we reiterate absolutely nothing to do with the recitation of the last two verses of Surah Baqarah, which if Allah Helps you and Allows, you should continue reciting whenever and as often as possible.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
