Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

May Almighty Allah grant your father complete Shifaa. Aameen.

The dream in reference could mean your father will be cured from the sickness he is suffering from. [1] [2]

Your father should also take precaution from all evil and read the Masnoon duas regularly.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

What does Islam say about dreams and their meaning?

“The example of a dream is like a man traveling on a highway. The traveler will come across many different types of sceneries, some lush and beautiful, while others maybe not so eye-catching and appealing.”
