Tehillim 23 and She'elat Chalom
Tehillim 23 and She'elat Chalom
If a person fasts for one day and then, before going to sleep, recites Psalm 23 seven times, first performing netilat yadayim, and everything in the bedroom must be clean (the room, the bed, and the clothing), then, before going to sleep, he may ask Hashem for something personal (about his problem, health, etc.)—in a dream, he will receive an answer. This is called "She'elat Chalom"—asking a question in a dream.
(from the 11th-century manuscript “Shimush Tehillim,” translated by Rav Reuven Brauner)
