AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sometimes but very rarely my 6 year old has bad dreams. If I ask her what it was about she says she doesn’t remember. How do I comfort her ?

Bad dreams that sometimes may take the place of nightmares are not uncommon in children. They may come either because of sleeping after being very tired or due to certain inner fears that get projected in dreams.

You can discuss if the child has fears and reassure him. Make him / her sleep with some mantras or simply invoking peace as he is slipping into sleep. Normally they simply pass away as the child grows up.

Affectionately,

Alok da.

I wanted to share two Dreams that I had today: where I was in an open, dry, yellowish forest space… felt like Auroville, and suddenly there were many birds that came in front of us (me, my brother, and one more person). 💭🕊️🐆🚘🛌🏼💤[…]

The rainbow birds seem to be various desires and the leopard is a force that wants to devour you cunningly. Most likely it is fear.

The second dream is again the attack of some vital force which melts away by calling The Mother’s Name….
