Reciting the three Quls and Aayatul Kursi after Salaah and before retiring to bed

Q: I have a question regarding dream interpretation and if so would anyone be able to guide me? My mother is 83 years old, she is of poor health having suffered brain hemorrhage and is on various medication including morphine. Over the last few months she has been having the same dream/nightmare/vision when she sleeps. The very first she described to me. Our home was under attack. She described a gang of Pakistani men entered the home and ransacked it. In the house were my brothers and none of my brothers could do anything. In the dream was my sister and I. The dream was so real for my mother that for few days she thought my sister was with us and continually asked if she was safe, if she was protected, that she could not see her in the house had she returned to her own home etc. The dreams effect of it being real lasted few days. Thereafter the dreams reoccurred. All similar. Pakistani men entering the home ransacking it, taking clothes jewellery etc. Again she thought all of it was real for few days. The dreams have become worse. Now Pakistani families enter the house. They bring with them their belongings and pots full of meat. She sees all of them eating both raw and cooked meat. Then ransacking the home. She thinks it is all real. She will then ask me to check that her clothes and jewellery are safe. She even says I hope no one gets ill after eating all the raw meat. These dreams are occurring everyday and night now. The latest dream she has had is the same. Pakistani families enter and ransack the home. They bring pots of meat and eat it raw and cooked. They steal everything, her bedroom is totally empty. The only difference this time is that in her dream she saw family members who have died appear. My brother (her eldest son), my father, my aunty, others, all come to visit us. And on hearing all these dead family members have come to our home we have relatives visit us to see them. And all this is happening while our home is being invaded by the Pakistanis. It is causing me great concern and I know it is effecting her, scaring her, making her more ill. All these dreams have the following in common- our home is ransacked by Pakistanis, they bring pots of meat and eat it raw and cooked, they steal all the jewellery and clothes, we are helpless to do anything. She thinks it is all happening for real and it affects her throughout day for few days. Please if anyone can advise me I would be grateful.

A: Ask her to recite the three Quls (Surah Ikhlaas, Surah Falaq and Surah Naas) and Aayatul Kursi after her five daily Salaah and before retiring to bed.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
