True dreams are from Allah and bad dreams are from satan [Sahih of Bukhari, Vol 9 p 95, no 113]
BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Most books on dream interpretation are either attributed to Muhammad ibn Seereen (653-729 CE): english publication of Muhammad Al Akilis 508 page work entitled Ibn Seerins Dictionary of Dreams: According to Islamic Innertraditions in 1992, followed shortly thereafter by Dreams and Interpretations by Ibn Seereen.
However, Ibn Seereen, without a shaddow of a doubt, did not write any book on dream interpretation. He did, however, write a compilation of Abu Hurairas narrations from the Prophet (pbuh) along with the opinions of Abu Huraira. This text was kept by his brother, Yahyaa ibn Seereen, because Muhammed ibn Seereen, in his later days, did not like to keep books. [Tareekh, vol 2 p 14b by Yaqoob al Fasawee and quoted in Studies in Early hadith literature p 38]
NOTE: In the below narrations there was mention of the Prophets, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon them all; mentioning of the companions (male and female), may Allah be pleased with them; and of course mentioning of dreams. We should be careful to realise that in many of the explanations above the reference is to may, that is, seeing such a thing in a dream MAY indicate that such and such was seen. Thus as none of us have the fortune of being a Prophet, nor do we have the fortune of being in the company of Prophet Joseph who excelled in dream interpretation we should consider the matters above with caution.
