" Because of sinful activities, at night we have bad dreams, which are very troublesome. Indeed, Maharaja Yudhistira was obliged to see hell because of a slight deviation from devotional service to the Lord. Therefore, duhsvapna - bad dreams - occur because of sinful activities. A devotee sometimes accepts a sinful person as his disciple, and to counteract the sinful reactions he accepts from the disciple, he has to see a bad dream. Nonetheless, the spiritual master is so kind that in spite of having bad dreams due to the sinful disciple, he accepts this troublesome business for the deliverance of the victims of Kali-yuga. After initiation, therefore, a disciple should be extremely careful not to commit again any sinful act that might cause difficulties for himself and the spiritual master. "

Vedanta sutra has a 10-sutra passage on dreams, quoted on my website. The first one answers:
Dreams are created by the Supersoul to award the living entity with the results of insignificant karma. (Vs 3.2.1)

(What is the purpose of asking questions and then answering them? This is good for a blog, not for a QA forum.)
bad dreams are because if you seeing some horror pictures at night before you sleep your subconscious mind is still thinking about the plot.
watch good things before your sleep.

Thanks Krishna I don't get a dream. But then I wish to see good dream about Krishna. They also don't come.
That's okay!
Dreams are completely useless in general whereas our actual position is concerned.
