Does my dream have a message for how I should ask Allah and approach my job search?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
On 13.5.2012 in Tahajjud I asked Allah (SWT) that not to make me sit in home and grant some job supportive to deen, deen ki mehnat and to fulfill my family needs and after finishing Fajr I slept then I had a dream that I was in the school where I had applied for computer teacher job over there they analyzed my documents and said you are rejected. I was upset for a while and started beating the employer who is a female and blood started coming out from her head then I left that school. NOTE: I am unemployed for the past 1.5 years, family financial status is very poor, I am the only male child to my parents who are kind. My sister is going to work along my father but I want to feed my family women as it is my responsibility. Does this dream has any message or how should I ask Allah and approach accordingly.

(Fatwa: 663/647/N=1433)

As per the Hadith, bad dreams are from Satan; hence you need not worry about the dream and not take any bad omen from it. After seeing such types of dream one should spit thrice at his left side and seek refuge with Allah from Satan the damned (i.e. recite thrice: أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم). And if night is still remaining and wants to sleep again then one should change the side and sleep. (Mishkah, p 394). Also recite the following dua for easy and halal provision with concentrating on the meaning extensively, in-shaAllah, soon you shall get halal provision.
اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنِي بِحَلَالِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ وَأَغْنِنِي بِفَضْلِكَ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ (مشكوة شريف ص 216)
O Allah! Provide me halal provision and save me from haram ones and make me free and independent from everyone except You.

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best
