Drinking oil or plunging into it. Red garlands and red ointments. These are unlucky dreams. It is good not to tell them to anyone.
Simple meaning: Drinking or bathing in oil, red garlands and red paste are unlucky dreams. Best not to tell them.
(भूयश्च स्वपनं तद्वत्कार्यं स्नानं द्विजार्चनम् ।
After a bad dream, sleep again, bathe, worship, make a sesame fire offering and pray to the gods.
तथा स्तुतिप्रपठनं पुंसूक्तादिजपस्तथा ।
Recite praises and the Purusha Sukta. A dream in the first part of the night bears fruit in a year.

Later parts of the night give quicker results: six months, three months, half a month, then ten days.
