HI all
Can someone give the exact text of the sloka to ward off bad dreams?
It starts like this.
duhswapna duhshakuna etc.
thanks
lakshmi

The one I was taught was:

raamaskandam hanUmantam vainateyam vRkodaram  |

shayane ya: smaraNet nityam du:swapnam tasya nashyati  ||

I'm curious to know what others are in vogue, one can always use more defenses :-)

The sloka that I learnt as a child goes like this.

duhswapna duhshakuna durgati daurmanasya
durbhiksha durvyasana dussaha durvisaamsii
utpaata-taapa vishhabheeti masadgrahaadyam
vyaadheemshcha naashe tu me
jagadaamadeeshah.

Many parts of this seem corrupt to me. If someone can just correct
this, and render a translation, that would be great..
thanks

It seems fairly correct to me. A little cleaning up gives this:

du:svapna-du:shakuna-durgati-daurmanasya-

durbhikSha-durvyasana-du:saha-durvishaaMsi |

utpaata-taapa-viShabhiitim asad-grahaadya-

vyaadhiin-cha naashayatu me jagataam adhiisha: |

Essentially, it is of the form "May the lord of the worlds (jagataam adhiisha:) destroy (naashayatu) my (me) X, Y and Z", where X, Y and Z are in the dvitiya. 

X = "Unbearable(du:saha), inescapable (durvisha) bad dreams (du:svapna), bad omens, misfortune, dejection, scarcity, vice"

Y = "The fear of poison-like troubles arising unexpectedly"

Z = "Diseases arising from bad stars"
