Question

Assalamu wa alaikum.

I had bad dream and I wanted to know if I should repent for seeing this dream.  I dreamt that I was reaching for the Holy Quran (which was an old and fragile copy) on top of a wardrobe, it was very hard to reach, suddenly I realised that I couldn't hold onto it and it went on the floor.  Some pages were scattered around and I was holding onto part of the Quran.  I woke up from the dream (or nightmare) and I really felt bad.  I try to practise Islam as much as I can, but I wouldn't think I am following the correct path, but I would have never thought that Allah would show a very disturbing dream.
