I am sorry to hear you are in a difficult situation.

Dreams come from various places. Sometimes they are true, sometimes they are false, and sometimes they are a mix. Sometimes they are from Allah, sometimes they are from Shaytan, and sometimes they are from neither. 

Dreams can be affected by our physical health and psychiatric health, and if you have a significant health challenge or psychiatric condition, it is worth taking that into consideration when interpreting dreams. (For instance, a person who is physically unwell might have a dream about an attack, because the body feels it is being attacked, but does not know how to express it.)

Apart from that... if you are seeking hope, in general, in difficult times, it is good to ignore the dream, because Allah is merciful and always with us, even in hard times.

However, if you are hoping to obtain something specific (for instance, you want to marry a specific person or get a specific job), then it is worth considering that this might be a sign that that path is not meant for you. That interpretation may not be certain, but it is worth considering.

Bismihi ta'ala

Yes, and we call it tahajjud, or Salat al-Layl / Namaz-e-Shab. 

Tahajjud means to abandon sleep and pray. It consists of 11 rak'ahs. 8 rak'ahs (4×2) nafilah prayer, and then 2 rak'ah shaf' prayer, and 1 rak'ah witr prayer. 

With prayers for your success. 

Performing Salatul Layl (Night Prayer) has long ours of the night although it is more recommended to perform it as near to Fajr as you can. Eating Sujood is also recommended during the time of Sahar which is the last sixth of the night.

‘Wassalam.
